An electric power generation system employs a thermoelectric generator placed between an aircraft inner skin and an aircraft outer skin. The thermoelectric generator is configured to utilize a thermal differential between the inner and outer skin to generate an electric current. An electrical interface is provided for access to the electric current generated by said thermoelectric generator.
