what are the three different layer [which material?] and which one is heated on the burner?

the square and u-shaped 'yellow' material is both standard copper ... the third material is simple cd-case plastic ... joined together with a water-tight adhesive, spacing the two cupper plates about half a centimetre apart.
now there is a watertight compartment between cd-case and square copper plate, with a tap or opening topside, where you can put a salt-solution, for example natriumchloride (kitchensalt) or silver-chloride dissolved in water.

@jambajoose
it produced nearly nothing of current, so you can't really use it for anything. but it does show some difference in voltage when you shine a light on it.
it took about 30min on a 'bunsen burner' (what you use in chemistry classrooms), but in the original blueprints we found for it online, they said you can also use the kitchen stove. (can't find that article anymore, sorry)
