Article Synopsis
- Fumaroles emit steam and volcanic gases at high temperatures (70-100°C), showcasing volcanic activity.
- The paper discusses using thermoelectric generators to convert fumarole heat into electricity through the Seebeck effect, employing bismuth-telluride modules at Teide volcano.
- The generator produced a net output of 0.32 to 0.33 W per module, which could power autonomous volcanic monitoring stations, but corrosion prevention measures are necessary due to harmful gases.
