Abstract
A system and technique may be used to generate power via a thermoelectric generator (TEG) at a through-the-wall automated teller machine (ATM). An example system may include a thermoelectric generator (TEG) configured to harness a temperature difference between an interior portion of the through-the-wall ATM and an environment external to the through-the-wall ATM to generate energy to power small devices in the through-the-wall ATM. The TEG may include a first face exposed to the interior portion of the through-the-wall ATM and a second face opposite the first face, the second face exposed to the environment.
