  • Abstract
    The fabrication of a miniature low power/high voltage thermoelectric convertor is described. The device which has arisen out of a requirement of the British gas industry for an autonomous source of electrical power for use in consumers´ gas monitoring systems generates fractions of microwatt at several volts.
