Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) is used to generate electricity, there is temperature different between the hot and cold side from thermoelectric module. This principle is called the seebeck effect which is the opposite phenomena of the peltier effect. This research used two types of thermoelectric module, TEC 12706 and TEG SP 1848 type. With the variation of input voltage was 60 V to heat the heater electric attached at hot side module. Cold side of thermoelectric module used ice water at temperature 10 ºC with speed of water circulation is 16.6 liter/minute. According to the test, the power generated by thermoelectric modul TEG SP 1848 is bigger than thermoelectric modul of TEC 12706. Power maximum generated by thermoelectric TEC 12706 type at the first until foorth testing were 0.001 W, 0.0018 W, 0.0061 W and 0.105 W. Whereas using module of TEG SP 1848 the maximum energy at the same testing were 0.125 W, 0.141 W, 0.274 W and 0.357 W. The difference of maximum energy used between TEC 12706 and TEG SP 1848 module was around 0.2 W.
