Abstract.Recently a formula for the variance of the
thermal voltage between the ends of a conductor has been
proposed. We discuss this formula with regard to possibilities of
manipulating the thermal voltage. In particular, utilizing the
dependence of the variance of the voltage on the density of
the electronic gas confined to the conductor,
we point out a possibility of voltage amplification by the
exposition of the conductor to an electrostatic field. This
possibility is noteworthy insofar as it necessitates only
negligible input of electric power.
