The paper describes preliminary investigations of a new effect in conductinganisotropic liquids, which leads to thermoelectric conversion of energy.Nematic liquid crystals with semiconducting dopes are used. A thermoelectricfigure of merit ZT = 0.2 is obtained in experiments. The effect can beexplained by assuming that the thermocurrent in semiconducting nematics, incontrast to the Seebeck effect, is a nonlinear function of the temperaturegradient and of the temperature itself. Though the discovered effect has to befurther investigated, the data obtained suggest that it can be effectively usedin alternative energy engineering.
