Claims: Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. A generator of electricity comprising a plurality of pairs of electrode units, with a rectifier unit joining each of the electrode units of a pair to each other and to a pair of power output conductors so that both electrode units of a pair may be exposed to a fluid at a uniform average temperature,

said electrode units adaptable for generating electricity when the two electrode units of a pair are simultaneously exposed to molecules of said fluid which are at different levels of thermal energy with respect to each other at the two electrode units.

2. The combination as recited in claim 1 in which each electrode unit is a thermocouple junction.

3. The combination as recited in claim 1 in which the rectifier unit is a full wave rectifier so as to convert transient electric currents between the two electrode units into a direct current output.
