Enhanced seebeck effect renewable energy arrangement with resistor

A Seebeck effect renewable energy arrangement for generating electricity due to temperature differences comprising:

• an environmental arrangement being configured to be heated or cooled by surrounding environmental conditions to an environmental temperature;
• a ground arrangement being configured to be heated or cooled by geothermal energy to a ground temperature different from said environmental temperature;
• said environmental arrangement being connected to said ground arrangement to create an electrical circuit such that the temperature difference between said environmental temperature and said ground temperature generates electricity due to the Seebeck effect;
• a power output arrangement being operatively connected to said circuit to conduct electricity generated thereby to storage or use to power electrical devices;
• wherein said environmental arrangement comprises one of:
• a solar panel configured to be heated by the sun such that said environmental temperature is substantially greater than said ground temperature, and
• a solar concentrator configured to be heated by the sun such that said environmental temperature is substantially greater than said ground temperature;
• wherein said ground arrangement comprises a loop of electrically-conductive metal wire configured to be buried in the ground or submerged in water;
• a resistor positioned in said loop;
• and
• wherein said resistor is positioned two thirds of a total depth of said loop down from a top of said loop.
