its all about thermocouple....
how reliable it is in converting heat energy to electrical energy... ?who has an ebook here or source of knowledge that i can make a reference? and also i want circuit/schematic diagram of one of it... tnx in advance

As with just about anything, depends on construction. The ones in Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft plutonium thermal-pile power supply have been operating for many decades.
I have to agree thermocouple is the key to achieving a positive result in converting heat energy to electricity. It consists of 2 conductors that produce a voltage at the point of their contact.
Here is a diagram that can explain the relationship between temperature and voltage output for better understanding.
