Energy crisis is a bottleneck in the supply of energy resources to an economy as there has been an enormous increase in the global demand for energy in recent years. Supply of energy is far less than the actual demand. Now days, studies are being conducted on thermo electric generator (TEG) as it has emerged as a possible solution to the energy crisis in the world. Moreover, it provides low voltage to the components of integrated circuit industry. One of the major limitations with the TEG is that the output of the device is in micro volts. This paper presents a method to increase the output of the thermo generator (Chromel- Alumel) from micro volts to milli volts.
