       In this article we consider cross emf and vortical thermoelectric current within a inhomogeneous thermoelectric anisotropic medium using different techniques of thermal influence. Considerations of thermal boundary conditions have not been addressed in previous research articles. In addition, the influence of anisotropy of conduction upon the cross thermo emf of anisotropicthermoelement is reviewed.

PACS: 85.80.F.
Keywords: eddy thermoelectric currents, the transverse thermopower, anisotropic thermal element.
