The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa via a thermocouple.

A common use of this is in your water heater. The pilot light heats up a thermocouple and if the pilot light goes out it shuts off the gas supply to the water heater

$I had an inkling :)

Am pretty sure the “thermoelectric effect” is used to power an electromagnet from your pilot light such that when the light goes out the 🧲 ceases to keep the valve open thereby preventing the build up of natural gas or propane that’d otherwise leak out.
