What have you been looking at for your initial research? Some quick searches about it tell me I'm not using the right vocabulary to find the simple explanations of how to make a basic generator.

im thinking something small.

there are some 12v output units on AliBaba. Though a 5v 3amp unit would be cool.

i use a woodstove fan every day that works on the same principle.

a base to transfer heat to one side of the plate, and a heat sink on the other to create the temperature difference needed to create current.

its not going to charge a battery bank, but capturing heat as charging electricity for devices sounds cool to me. especially since im burning a fire every day in the winter…

interesting winter tinkering project…

It sounds like the generator doubles as a water heater (or boiler?) too. Would love to see what you play around with if you get a few chips to try something out.
