Created[edit]

This page used to redirect to Thermopylae, but since Thermopile is a subject on it's own, I've created this stub instead. Please help to expand it. =) --Pavithran 06:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When invented?[edit]

When was the thermopile invented, and by whom? --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 04:37, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Early use by Ohm[edit]

Ohm used a thermopile instead of a battery for his experiments (~1826) leading to Ohms law (1827)^[1]- because early batteries had variable voltage - Rod57 (talk) 23:36, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I find it

Possible error in article[edit]

I'm fairly sure the phenomenon of heat being moved from one side to the other when current flows is the Peltier effect; the phenomenon of current being generated by a differential temperature across the thermocouple is the Seebeck effect. I'm fairly sure the article mixes these two up. MrAureliusR_Talk! 13:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
