Paper Title
Campfire Waste Heat Recovery: Thermoelectric Generator Design and Analysis
Abstract
This report focuses on the utilization of thermoelectric generators (TEG) to harness wasted heat from campfires,
thereby generating electricity for essential purposes during emergencies when access to electrical charging is limited. The
study explores the fundamental principles of TEG and examines its application to convert campfire waste heat into
electricity. This electricity can be employed to recharge camping lights, mobile phones, and small devices that require
relatively low power to operate. Throughout this investigation, TEG units are strategically positioned at locations with
varying temperature gradients. The primary objective is to leverage the heat source to initiate the operation of fans that
extract heat from a cooler side. The research centers on addressing emergency situations that could be encountered by
individuals without immediate access to conventional electrical sources, thus enabling them to meet essential needs and
enhance their quality of life through electricity generation.
