Do you know of any other applications for the Seebeck Effect? Let me know in the comments! This is such a versatile technology - and I can't imagine the number of ways this can be used!
See this was 8th months ago do you see how much of an effect you can have in people's love believe me when I say to you have been given words and an audience....believe me when I say to you everything has been written and nothing that has been done hasn't been written...listen to how theses words are spoken to you and realize who is speaking to you ......say nothing. You are blessed
i really wanna try this, pretty cool! with the phone off, did u tryed to see how longs takes to get +1% for the battery? if u put 2 peltier in parallel, will it be better for a fast charge? or will damage the battery?
hi, I came across your video while searching inspiration for a similar project. I really enjoyed watching it, but I think you should know that your device WILL break after some use. Here's why: A phone needs at least 5 Watt to charge, Watt is the amount of energy that comes in per second. The formula is as following: Watt = Volts * Amps. As you said in the video, the phone needs a specific voltage of 5Volts, so if we plug that in the equation, we get that the phone needs 5 Volts and 1 Amp. The module you are using transforms the 1.3V to 5V, but this comes with a cost. It drastically takes down the Amps, which leads me to believe that you are not delivering the required 1 Amp, and underpowering you phone. After some use, this will destroy the electronics that you made, and maybe even your phone. Also the charging will be very slow, if even happening at all. Since a candle produces about 30 Watt, I recommend using more than one peltier module to harvest more of the heat energy. (and also always measure voltage AND amperage). I hope I didn’t offend you, because I really mean well! I loved the project and hope to see an improved version in the future!
I live in a part of the country that gets really cold winters. I've often thought about how much energy I could generate by having the hot side of an array of peltier modules on the inside of a window, and the cool side facing the outside during the winter. That'd have to work to a decent enough degree, right? At least for charging/powering small devices?
It could! Different Peltier devices have different watts emitted per delta (difference between the hot and the cold side). So I'd imagine there would be like a 40-50 degree F difference between hot and cold side for that. If you looked some up I bet you could get an estimate!
So, is it true that the amount of output current depends on how large is the difference in temperature between the cool side and the hot side. So, how does one get one side very cold and the other side almost boiling water temperature? So, how if I put the module (the side with the writings down toward the cold) then place a hot cup of tea on top of the module, separated by a couple of sheets of aluminum,
You got it! The larger the temp difference the higher the voltage. I find it's usually easier to use fire for the hot side and chilled water for the cool side
So long as you conver the whole cold side with a heat sink the rising heat should be negligible, at least I think it would be. Though tk be fair I've never tested it haha. The problem with using hot liquid on top is that eventually it cools down while fire lasts much longer. Though I suppose you could fashion like a metal crucible for the fire and put the peltier under that but then you can't put chilled water so you're relying on the air for the cold side
Question: In the desert, they have a bunch of mirrors aimed at a source of water to create steam, and generate electricity. If you lined the container with these instead, and then filled the container with a water container (to create the heat difference), what would the outcome efficiency of that be, vs the steam? Edit: And would that work on a smaller scale, like a solar oven? How would that compare to solar panels?
Well I haven't crunched the numbers on any of this, but my intuition says that it would probably just be more efficient to use the mirrors to boil the water directly or charge up solar panels. I believe the efficiency of solar panels outscale Peltier chips for large scale applications like powering an electrical grid. But this is all speculation haha

@@andrewyang7763 thats a cool idea! I've tried to make hyper cooled thermoelectroc generators before, but for some reason I can't get them very cold.
Very informative, thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it can help!

Very cool! I like it!
Super cool and impressive!!
Great video.
I adore her
I would be curious to know how many amps this is producing. That could theoretically give us an idea of how long it would take to charge a phone
i really wanna try this, pretty cool! with the phone off, did u tryed to see how longs takes to get +1% for the battery?
if u put 2 peltier in parallel, will it be better for a fast charge? or will damage the battery?
that was cool

im doing this for an engineering project for my 7th grade fair , i was wondering if it could be any glue or a specific glue??
Can you drop a link for the voltage amplifier please?
Could it harm the phone battery using such a set up if it’s not consistent?

Since heat rises, shouldn’t the cold be on the bottom and heat on top?

mines not working , im doing the for a school project and its not working . do you have any tips on why it isnt working? :(
I'm sorry I don't know without seeing it in more detail 😭
Hey could we link up ?
You doing it wrong you have to hold the fire
Gahhh of course! I need to learn firebending first tho
