Abstract
A plurality of first cup-shaped members and a plurality of second cup-shaped members are placed alternately in repetition to form a pipe having an inner through-hole. At this point, neither the first cup-shaped members nor the second cup-shaped members are sintered yet. Then, the resultant pipe is sintered to obtain a pipe-shaped thermal power generation device. While the pipe is sintered, a pressure is applied to the pipe along a longitudinal direction of the pipe in a direction in which the pipe is compressed.
