I'm considering building a Seebeck effect power plant using a platinum-ignited hydrogen flame in order to power a robot. How hot does a hydrogen flame burn?

3000-3600K depending on the ratio of gases. excess of either one will reduce flame temperature.
oxyhydrogen flames are used in welding torches industrially.

Hi. The thermocouple would generate power based on the temperature difference, I think. Using hydrogen to cool one element might gain some efficiency. I assume you intend to use oxygen rather the some more exotic gas (fluorine for example). I would go with your first answers.
