In this study, the effect of still water cooling on electricity generation in a thermoelectric generator heated by solar energy heat pipe is experimentally investigated. For this purpose, a heat pipe with ethyl alcohol as the working fluid has been manufactured. A cooler is used for cooling the thermoelectric generator filled with water. In order to increase the efficiency of the cooler, the system is placed in still water. The highest open-circuit voltage value is 0.44 V for the experiments in which the cooler is used alone and 0.47 V in the experiments made in still water.required
