Abstract The purpose of our project is to bring forth a fairly new form of renewable energy production via thermoelectric power in the form of a small and simple innovation. Thermoelectricity has recently gained popularity in terms of new renewable energy of the 21st century alongside solar energy. In this project, we will harness the power of thermal energy using the process of conduction in order to efficiently create electricity to power small everyday items. This innovation could be used to tackle modern-day problems concerning environmental issues.
