This is a Peltier cell. It consists of 2 ceramic wafers and many N and P type semiconductors between the wafers. When we apply an electric current to the cell, one side gets hot and the other side gets cold. This phenomenon is called the Peltier effect. If we change the direction of the current, what was the hot side becomes cold and the cold side becomes hot. The effect is generally used for cooling electronic parts.

Another interesting fact about the Peltier cell is, if we apply heat to one side of the cell, an electric current will flow as long as there’s a heat difference between the sides. This phenomenon is called the Seebeck effect.

Stove fans work without a battery or any other electric source because of the Seebeck effect. When we put a stove fan on a stove, one side of the Peltier cell gets hot and there’s a heat difference between the sides, which generates enough electricity to run the fan. As a result, the heat from the stove is spread more efficiently.

we have a stove fan and my mind was blown by the simple technology thank you for this explanation

[azk]

so fascinating, never knew you could generate electricity directly by fire

[masonfelce]

I was doing a test for each solar module on a solar panel you put on the backside with this Peletier, only generated 0.7 volts under hot conditions I only used one Peltier for one module, so 0.7×24

[murderdoggg]

1:11 Wouldn't the Peltier chip rather be in the wide base at the bottom where the heat is?

[matics]

You could use a Peltier cell to make electricity, so the fan could try to power istelf, after the stove heats up. Just mention me if that works :)

[rupamdutta]

Does Mars rover uses this effect to Generate power?

[richardworden]

If I was to use 2 of the cells what the big heat sank and a super-efficient fand I put black tape on the hot side and pointed at toward the sun. Could I charge a phone

[mguerramd]

If I put it on the stove and it gets too hot, so that both sides of the cell are about the same temp, will it stop generating electricity?

[jeffneff]

How come we dont use these to power most of our electronics on hot days?

[dickiebrewer]

Yeah, but HOW does the N and P semi-conductors generate power from temperature differential? You are only showing the result of the phenomenon, not the reason. Good grief!

In someone else's house trying to get the fire going and I can't figure out how the fck it works.
