👉 The term "thermoelectric" refers to a phenomenon in which electrical energy is converted from one form of energy into another. In simple terms, it involves using heat or electricity to generate mechanical motion. For example, in 1960, physicist Richard Feynman demonstrated the first successful thermoelectric generator, which used electricity to generate mechanical motion. The device was an electrically powered steam engine that could produce torque (power) from a small amount of heat generated by the steam
