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.

[@peterxyz3541]

THANKS!!! Thanks for the education!!!!!! 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?

[@ElectricalPro]

Hi, Good question. I also have thought about this... I am not an expert on this, but I think yes, you will get more energy. It doesn't matter how large Peltier Device can be, because you can connect them sequentially (as many as you want). But it probably will be very expensive and not worth it. I guess you will get an additional 1% or 3 % of energy... but it is just my guess.

[@dakotaxd3727]

this has been done alot over the years (first in 2007 i think). you can even get a cpu fan/heatsink combo right now, it just sadly isnt great for PC cooling (or cooling over all). imagine a tec as an old light bulb (the brighter it was the more heat it made) the more "cooling" or the colder one side is the hotter the other side gets. and it also cost alot to run it (seen it taking 400 watts in one pc. just to cool the cpu)

[@Techno-Universal]

@@dakotaxd3727 It would probably also only make sense for server CPUs that run a lot hotter than consumer CPUs.

[@machiii7394]

Your voltage and current tests were highly alternating in both time and heat actually applied.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

"Can this be used as a CPU cooler?" you ask. *yes, but* is my answer. Yes, but you then need an even beefier heat sink and fan on the hot side of the peltier effect device to remove all that extra heat which it grabs away from the CPU. Yes, but you'll possibly need to replace your computer's power supply with a larger one so that it can supply the extra current needed by the peltier effect device (close enough to 5 amps for a 55W device at 12V). Yes, but it probably won't provide any significant performance increase when compared to existing cooling systems designed for overclocking your CPU. Yes, but it might not be able to grab enough heat from your CPU fast enough when compared to a simple heat sink, leading to your CPU overheating anyway. There are good reasons why it's not already done that way.

[@ckilr01]

One side makes heat..... so no. You would heat the room it is in. You could use it as a mini AC unit if you expel heat outside.

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.

Hi Johnny. You can't really "hook up" the heat sinks, they're just to dissipate the heat. And they have muffin fan bolted to them. The part that got -8 and frosted over was the aluminum Cold sink that penetrated to the inside of the box which had 2 smaller muffin fans to move cold air. I had both Peltier and the large fan hooked to 12V, and the heat sink was really doing it's job and was very warn. @Johnny Buoy

[@repairlife4542]

What is the details of thermoelectric you are using? Ampere rating.

[@dra6o0n]

You can do this in reverse and have the hot and cold side generate electricity instead. If it gets hot and cold really fast it uses electricity a lot. Likewise on the flipside, it takes a lot of temp difference to create electricity. So you can convert heat back into minor electricity by directing heat out of a PC case to a radiator, and have one side get hot from that, and get cooled by the other, and connecting the wires in opposite polarity so it turns temp into energy.

If you use it as a cpu cooler make sure you have a proper seal between the CPU and the cold side. Don't overload the thermal paste but do make sure you've no gaps, otherwise if you live in a place that gets high humidity you could end up condensing water vapour onto your chip which will not end well, also it should be powered off the CPU fan connector on the board which will feed it voltage as needed depending on the CPU temperature rather than having it on 100% all of the time which could also bork your CPU.
