Its basis is the so-called Seebeck effect, discovered in Germany in 1821, which shows that a current flows between two different metals (called a thermocouple) when the metals are held at different temperatures. Since such a system has no moving parts, the thermocouple is theoretically an ideal way to generate electricity. Catch has been that most suitable materials cannot stand the high temperatures needed to generate thermoelectric power on a large scale. By combining indium (a soft, silvery metal used in dental alloys...
...monastery in 1932, but was turned back by an attack of typhus. A second try was stymied by the start of World War II, and a third by the Suez crisis.
