Thermocouples for an alternate power source ?:

Hi all , 

I was just wondering about using themocouples for an alternate power 
supply ? AFAIK they are used on missiles and bomb { as in H , as in 
serious big bangs } fuses . 

What I am floating is a smallish battery, charged by some 
thermocouples on the exsaust manifold  , enough to  power radios , basic 
eletrically driven instruments etc.

Of course the idea may well be more use for microlioghts , or  3 axis 
aircraft without an altenator ?


Happly building & flying ....
