Abstrakt: Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that is collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale either from natural or environment and it also known as the alternative energy. This paper intends to explore the opportunities to produce electricity from waste heat from our surrounding equipment especially household appliances as one of the renewable energy sources by using thermoelectric generator module. By using 'Seebeck effect', electrical energy could be generated with the difference of temperature between surfaces. This study reveals the ability of waste heat to generate electricity by using candle, cooking stove, Bunsen burner, BBQ grill placement and kettle as a source of heat for activate at least a small electronic device. The main findings on this project are that with higher temperature differences, the higher voltage is produced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
