TEG expert here, nicely done GreatScott. Here’s a few bits of info on the subject. 1. The effect your seeing is called the Seebeck Effect. 2. The most efficient TEG system made is around 0.4%. 3. TEG’s are best suited for space exploration. This is because of a: vacuum of space slows the oxidation of the substrates b: infinite cooling due to the vacuum of space c: infinite heat from celestial bodies i.e. the sun. If no passive heat source can be used, radioactive isotopes are used, these are called RTG’s (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators). 4. The common substrates used to make thermoelectric modules are made of Bismuth Telluride or Lead Telluride that is doped with different compounds to make them Negative Or Positive Charged. Surprisingly, there is only a few manufactures who specialize in this field of alternative energy. So far China is in the lead in making these modules at such a low cost. High Efficient modules can run into the $1000’s. Makes it difficult for US manufactures to compete.

Thank for this video, it was really intersting. The thermo-electric generator efficiency depends on the heat flux that goes trough the pelletier module, but in both designs (yours and the fake one), most of the head flux just pass trough the surrounding air. Therefore I presume that the design can be improved by adding some insulation, that prevents as much airflow as possible without switching off the candle. As a first try, I'd just replaced the metal grid cylinder with something much more closed like a soda can with a small opening, or a cardboard box attached to a heat sink.

I know the theory of using those rods to join aluminum. I also know it takes practice. Thick aluminum is a very good thermal conductor. You pretty much have to heat entire parts. Otherwise, the heat you apply at the joint will get carried away to the cold parts of the metal and too much crud will build up before the joint is up to melting temperature. Then there is surface prep and how to get the bead started. Surface preparation
@stevey5005 жыл бұрын
Move your heat source closer to the TEG units, add a heatsink to the bottom side to increase heat-gathering surface area. The heat source is poor- much of your heat is wasted pouring away from the unit. Putting a large heatsink with much more surface area for the heat to be captured from the tea candles as well as moving them much closer (less height) would have made a substantial difference. Using only one of these low current TEG modules, I installed a small heatsink on the bottom and applied a backpacking stove at low output mode/small flame, the flame was directly applied to the small heatsink feeling for the least amount of wasted heat escaping the unit. I installed a large CPU heatsink with heatpipes on the other side of the TEG. I did not push the unit to its limits at all and I was able to get consistent 350mah at 5V self powering its own 120mm fan to cool the large heatsink. This 350mah was only when the fan was forcefully stopped/braked, when the fan was free spinning at high speed, the current draw was only 70mah at 6.7v (less resistance) but proving there was plenty of spare current using a small flame and only one TEG module at low and safe temperatures avoiding burning of unshielded wires.

(T)hermo(E)lectric (G)enerator as opposed to (C)ooler. TEGs are designed with a peak efficiency at high temperatures. The temperature differential (hot side, cold side) is what generates the electricity. Amazon has a TEG that claims 10 watts, but that is at a 120 C differential which is pretty difficult to reach because the conversion efficiency is closer to 5% so keeping the cold side also includes pumping away the wasted heat.
@tomkelly88274 жыл бұрын
with your rebuild of his project, I would suggest that you could increase your efficiency a whole lot by getting the candle closer to the flame, surrounding the pencil holder with aluminum foil and operating it in winter time with colder air passing by the top fins. Also for the one you made, spread out the modules so there is more heat sink per module and use a bigger heat sink

Someone already mentioned adding salt to the ice water to make it colder. 2) Add an insulative skirt to the bottom as well, the candles will fill it from the top down with the coolest air spilling out at the bottom and the hottest air will be trapped at the top.

With motors, AFAIK you get quite well the same efficiency both ways, provided you handle the many-factor-dependent voltage and current properly. With peltiers, I don't know but I think the major caveat on using as generator is the practical inability to get all the heat gradient "focused" through the peltier material interface. Ie. big proportion of externally administered heat flux will "bypass" the interface through ambient heat and structures, whereas when when the peltier is powered by electricity, all its generated heat gradient is produced at the material interface, as it is its natural origin point and thus any of it cannot "miss" it as in generator-usage case.

For a flexible fuel TEG, what if you used 2 containers with modules sandwiched between them? Fill cold side with cold alcohol or antifreeze. Fill hot side with heated thermal oil. Cold-side liquid could be left outside during winter months. Hot-side oil could be heated with either fire or solar via Fresnel lens or parabolic reflector. Seems like that would give better control of temps on hot side (to keep the heat under the module’s recommended max operating temp) and allow flexibility for heat sources. As well, with a thermos, hot oil could be stored until it’s time to use the TEG or refill the hot side. Just an idea.

Thank you Scott. I keep thinking to build electricity generator using peltier, which hot side os being heated by focused sun ray (fresnel lens). Store the energy to lead acid battery. After watching your voltage-amperage numbers on multimeter it is obvious that I will drop my plan and stick to Solar Panel instead.

Thermoelectric generators are also available, the chip is little bit thinner and the sellers says that they are specifically designed for generating power not for cooling.

I think you also need a special flux to solder Aluminium, because it forms Aluminium-oxide as soon as it gets in contact with oxygen. That is probably why you where not very successfull ^^
@IrishSkruffles5 жыл бұрын
You are almost right, an oxide layer is always present on aluminium but you cannot solder it at all. You can weld aluminium but soldering is not an option
@allangibson84945 жыл бұрын
@@IrishSkruffles You can solder it but it needs special solder and a wire brush to remove the oxide layer just before soldering. That said - epoxy is easier unless you need electrical conductivity.
@schnozistanczar94334 жыл бұрын
To solder aluminum you must remove it’s thin layer of oxidation, it’s different to ferrous rust that keeps exposing the layer of metal to the air. Aluminum oxide acts like a shield, it must be sanded off and quickly fluxed or deprived of oxygen with a heavy gas, aluminum is quite the hassle to weld and solder, if not properly done it doesn’t adhere at all

Nice job with your analysis and build, especially with being transparent about everything. However, one could argue that using ice on one side of your Peltier array is equally unfair as using a blowtorch on the other side. So neither project really demonstrates charging a cell phone with tea lights (in the spirit that tea lights are the energy source). But the video is valuable for teaching about thermoelectric devices. Thanks.

1) I love the debunking part 2) How is using ice feasible for most survival situations? 3) Please revisit! DIY or BUY with a camping fire charger?
@SianaGearz3 жыл бұрын
It doesn't strictly have to be ice, because at the interface, the heatsink is something like 0-4°C, cold water rather than solid ice. You might as well use cold water from a mountain stream that you replace a few times a minute. Basically, just camp near glaciers, problem solved - i don't think "most survival situations" was ever a claim, but that there are nonzero survival situations where it would work. That being said, there might be a more effective way than having a big Peltier assembly stashed on you.
