Thermoelectric Cooler - Device That Makes Ice and Electricity

Thermoelectric Cooler also is known as Peltier device, Peltier heat pump, solid state refrigerator, or thermoelectric cooler (TEC).
Such device can make ice, also it can work in reverse and produce electricity. To power this device I use 12V DC power supply.
In the video I use TEC1-12706 (model).

Doctor.." so how did you burn and freeze your fingers at the same time?

You are not just teaching on how to make an air conditioner, but you teach us more to make electricity. thumb up!

To me this is product is like the conical bullet in 19 century or faster than light travel in the 23rd. To be able to cool anything with electricity at a such a small scale with power and no pressure/gasses needed is a miracle that should be further developed. I’ve bought this as an aquarium water cooler and was able to power it with a solar generator and a liquid cooling pad for my sleeping bag during the day and heated water during the cold nights. For someone that lives in a humid climate, I find this tech revolutionary. Would love to invest in making commercially available water cooling/heating systems for all applications.

Now I can make an emergency cooler using just a drinking glass, that thing, and my dad's solar panel.

One use is for CPU cooling but that would end up radiating to the rest of the computer. I'm glad you said about heat transfer creating electronic flow.

Thanks for the video. Enjoyed.
These disks seem to have become plentiful recently, mostly manufactured in China. Not sure what the manufacturer has planned.
Despite their relative inefficiency, there seems little reason why they cannot be used in a number of applications. These are considerably more practical than a compressor.

You don't know how much of a help this is to me!!! Thanks a lot!

[PacoOtis]

Dude! We owe you a beer! Thanks for the video!

[matchlesmage]

These devices work great as a fireplace heat distributor

[Yonatan-jvmv]

It's almost like magic, seeing how fast it worked

[Drxxx]

i tested also peltier.. great component!!!

[techinfotahir]

very nice and deferential vedio.i ilike to much that is amazing anad interesting ....💡✔

THANKS!!! Thanks for the Question: if I mount one of these....Peltier Device to the back of solar panels, to harness the waste heat (and try to cool down panel), does that mean I have more energy from the system?

How large can a Peltier Device be?

We used to be the guys in the mid 90’s that places like HardOCP and Tom’s Hardware wrote articles about. We build some of the world’s fastest machines outside a special lab. Using these Peltier coolers with custom water blocks, transfer places and custom water cooling setups. We were able to get our cpu temps down to near Zero and take the 233MMX pentium to 299.8 MHZ using back then the Abit TX5 jumperless (worlds first) back then. We did so many custom projects since then. This is nothing new.

Overclockers were using these over 20 years ago.

Increíble un generador termodinamico y que puede ser calentado también por la luz del Sol y al mismo tiempo puede reemplazar a un Freezer de una nevera

[Xeno_Bardock]

Couple it with fresnel lens and make a solar panel out of it and generate some electricity with high heat from focused sunlight. Use the cold part to cool food and house.

Several years ago my junk-friend gave me a dorm fridge the had 2 fan-heatsink units. I hooked them up and was amazed that the cold side in 5 minutes was frosted and my digital thermometer got down to -8 degrees after 15 minutes it was frosted solid.

Great explanation of what this can, and can't do. I was hoping to use this to chill the water in an evaporative cooler, but it generates as much heat as it cools, which a fridge does as well. ;0) Did you measure how much heat it produces? Also can you regulate the heat/cold by regulating the voltage? Or is it only on or off?
