Abstract
An apparatus and process for making a thermoelectric device for generating an electrical voltage when elevated in temperature. The apparatus comprises an array of a multiplicity of thermoelectric elements with each of the thermoelectric elements comprising a first metal component surrounded by a second metal component with a dielectric material interposed therebetween. A first connector interconnects the first metal components to form a first thermoelectric terminal. A second connector interconnects the second metal components to form a second thermoelectric terminal. A junction connector forms a multiplicity of thermoelectric junctions between the first metal components and the second metal components.
