Abstract: A thermoelectric generator includes a thermoelectric converter and a thermal coupling structure, configured to thermally couple the thermoelectric converter to a first body at a first temperature and to a second body at a second temperature, lower than the first temperature. The thermoelectric converter includes a support body, having a structural layer and a thermal insulation layer, and a plurality of thermopiles arranged on the thermal insulation layer and thermally coupled to the thermal coupling structure. The thermal insulation layer has a thickness such as to thermally insulate the thermopiles from the structural layer and the support body is continuous and without cavities between the thermopiles and a face of the structural layer opposite to the thermopiles.
