A relevant case is that of gas stoves, where the heat-radiating unit operates autonomously with local gas feeding. A thermoelectric generator (TEG) can be integrated within this type of autonomous gas heater, for local production of electric power, so that devices requiring electric power can be added, where desired, without the need for any connection to the electrical grid. This approach can also lead to easier installation and operation, and eventually increases the overall efficiency. Following the development plan presented in a previous report, a new prototype of an autonomous gas heater for outdoor use has been implemented through the integration of an improved TEG device with a simple and robust design, which can be easily operated by the end-user. A small amount of heat is withdrawn and converted into electricity by the TEG, providing self-sustaining operation and, moreover, powering additional functions such as high-efficiency light-emitting diode lighting.
