Abstract
Thermoelectric generating parts having a plate-shape or film-shape are stacked in a thickness direction. Each of the thermoelectric generating parts generates an electric power as a temperature difference is generated in the thickness direction. Thermal conducting members are disposed between two of the thermoelectric generating parts adjacent in a stacked direction and on outer surfaces of outermost two thermoelectric generating parts. A first thermal coupling member is connected to and thermally coupled to the every other thermal conducting members. A second thermal coupling member is connected to and thermally coupled to the thermal conducting members not connected to the first thermal coupling member.
