Seebeck Effect Devices
A Simple Seebeck Electric Generator (SSEG) is a Solid State Device that harvests direct to electricity energy.
A Simple Seebeck Electric Generator (SSEG) is constructed with a conductive material that connects between a hot side heat source and a cold side heat sink.
The connections between the hot side and cold side are thermally connected through the SSEG device, but the Hot/Cold junctions remain electrically insolated by a barrier layer from the Seebeck conductive core.

The Seebeck Generator acts as a heat exchanger that allows the thermal flow to create a temperature gradient as it passes through the SSEG device.
All the known understanding of the Seebeck Co-Efficient V/K Rankings of different materials and the temperature gradient multiple effects apply to this Simple Seebeck Electric Generator (SSEG).

The device is designed to avoid any potential irrevocable thermal/electrical conflicts that may arise from the use of thermal couple materials. This thermal/electrical conflict effect may have been a major hurtle in the advancement of Thermo Electric Generators (TEG) for many years.

The Simple Seebeck Electric Generator (SSEG) is based on the belief in the principal* that the thermal flow across the device will invoke an electrical current flow in the insolated Seebeck element. (* not yet fully understood)

The intensity of the electrical current flow will be driven by the ability of the cold side heat sink to aggressively pull the thermal flow through the device. This style of device may be well suited to operate in a high temperature application.

A flexible circuit design configuration may allow for the harvesting of energy with a compatible array stack of series and parallel options that may produce a meaningful output of electricity.
