Making Cooler/Generator with Thermoelectric Device

[@FordFlatSix]

On an atomic level, temperature is created by the atomic structure vibrating. This vibration is caused by all particles in the material vibrating with electromagnetic and nuclear forces. This phenomenon is most visible when atoms slow down their "spin", or internal energy, the closer they reach absolute zero. Since there are two materials with different thermodynamic properties but similar electromagnetic properties, the electrons can be shared easily between the two materials while still maintaining two different specific heat capacities. Once an voltage is applied to the two materials the electrons can flow to the material that they are attracted to. This will cause the vibrating electrons to leave one material the void of the electrons while the other material gains the vibrating electrons. This lack of vibrating electrons is what causes the electron deficient material to drop in temperature while the electron rich material has many vibrating electrons on it increasing its temperature. This is why changing the voltage will cause the electrons to travel to the opposite material but having the same phenomenon. The difference in voltage between the two materials creates a difference between the electron density between the two materials which then causes a difference in the thermal reservoirs between the two materials. This temperature drop is what allows heat to travel across the materials and electrons do not carry any of the heat themselves.

[@spacejunky4380]

Wow this cool dude. I liked when you mentioned electron voids create the "cool side." I've heard people say temperature is a measure of entropy which is an average of movement- am I right? Also, how is that converted into C or F? Why don't we just call it average speed?

[@chunguskhan5327]

Please forgive me if I sound dumb but I wanted to ask a question, since the electrons are vibrating and gaining heat, will they eventually change states?

[@FordFlatSix]

​@@spacejunky4380 Entropy could be the defined as the flow of heat between two thermal reservoirs, but this thermometric effect is what causes the difference in thermal reservoirs in the first place so there are several systems working in this example. You would need to define your system in order to define where the heat was flowing to define your average heat flow or flux. Degrees of temperature is a measurement of the material and not a amount of energy, it is a scalar value. Since heat is an amount of energy that travels in a system and not a measurement of a material property it can not be converted into a temperature. The reason it isn't a speed is because speed is also a measurement of a specific value like temperature. Heat flux has a rate and direction associated with it.

[@bwannnn]

@@chunguskhan5327 I'm not sure about that but I know for sure if it does change states it'll need a super high temperature in order for that to happen.

[@greedygoblin9441]

@Ryan Green Mass of an electron is negligibly small compared to atoms in crystal lattice... Normally heat is generated in a conductor when flowing electrons collide with atoms. Successive collision results in large momentum transfer thus atoms will more likely to vibrate with larger amplitude. Vibrating atoms which has more mass than vibrating electron is responsible for heat generation in a conductor. Secondly, If electron void is created then it'll get occupied by another electron bcoz of closed circuit connection... And if electron voids are d reason for cooling on one side, then a conductor having positive static charges also has electron voids.. why wouldn't that cool?

[@uzairshah4028]

A Peltier module consists of two unique semiconductors, one n-type and one p-type, which are used because they need to have different electron densities. The alternating p and n-type semiconductor pillars are placed thermally in parallel to each other and electrically in series and then joined with a thermally conducting plate on each side, usually ceramic removing the need for a separate insulator (Jamakandi et al., 2020), when a voltage is applied to the free ends of the two semiconductors there is a flow of DC current across the junction of the semiconductors causing a temperature difference. As the electrons travels from P type material to N type material, the electrons hop to the higher energy state hence absorbing thermal energy (cold side). Then as the electrons travel from N type material to P type material, the electrons drop to the lower energy state and hence, dissipating thermal energy (hot side)to the surrounding environment. The higher is the rate of dissipation of heat, the cooler it gets inside the chamber (cold side of Peltier module) and increasing the efficiency of the cooling module proportionally (Badgujar et al., 2015).

The way I understand it is that the current through the different conductors causes electrons associated with atoms to accumulate at junctions where current passes from conductor A to conductor B, while free electrons and atoms with spaces for electrons (holes) accumulate at junctions where current passes from conductor B to conductor A. Where associated electrons accumulate, equilibrium causes the rate of dissociation of electrons from atoms to be higher than the rate of association of electrons to atoms. Since electrons absorb energy when they dissociate, there is a net absorption of energy at that junction and it becomes colder. Likewise, at junctions where free electrons and atoms that can accept electrons (holes) accumulate, electrons will associate with atoms faster than they dissociate. This releases energy, causing the junction to heat up. As electrons flow one way through the circuit, the holes "flow" the opposite way, resulting in an accumulation of both at certain junctions and a deficit of both at other junctions. I believe this is only possible when one conductor has more holes than the other and vice versa for free electrons in the other conductor (ie: conductor A is rich in holes and conductor B is rich in free electrons). This is a confusing topic, and one I don't fully understand myself. There are some great explanations on a forum by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign titled "Q & A: How can the Peltier effect work?" I hope this helps if you were curious!

The reason your fan assembly didn’t result in a higher output is because you are pumping air INTO the system instead of continuing to draw the heat down away from the system. If the fan blades had been pushing hot air down, rather than cold air up into the fins, the low pressure air gaps between the fins would induct more cold air from the surrounding environment into the area where the heat is being dissipated from.

[@michaelsohocki1573]

Medhi, I live in south Texas where temperatures regularly clear 110F, and our greatest threat here is not cold, but actually dying from heat. Hence we spend breathtaking amounts of money and resources down here fighting back against the tremendous heat load. Other complicating factors are that as a society we do not build our cities with any consideration for passive or natural cooling, relying purely on the electrical grid. Also, I am told by HVAC engineers, that our universal building code is only written to handle 90F to pass C of O, resulting in new buildings failing our performance requirements by 15-25F. Add to that, the compressor-run AC which is our standard weapon is incredibly inefficient, as it must take electricity to turn all its various parts and move things around that don't even produce cooling. Then there is the compounding effect, as the more compressor driven ACs we have in use in hot places, the more we concentrate the heat yet further for the entire region (and the world of course). The Peltier device is one of our great hopes in this fight, because the transformation from raw heat (which we are dying in) to electricity that can then power secondary cooling devices is so much more direct, with no moving pieces.It also has the profound advantage of taking heat (which we need less of) and producing cool (which we need more of) without a waste stream of heat being blown out of 1.5 million windows. The problem (as Robert Murray Smith pointed out), is that they are cumulatively far too expensive to be viable in any great application as they now exist. What we need is an entire second roof of Peltier, which takes the blazing heat differential (absorbing the first volley of heat of direct sun), and converting this into voltage which can then run electrical cooling devices. (more direct and with higher yield--we hope--than taking the usable light through a solar cell and processing it into electricity then used for cooling...again, with heat exhaust.) We need a FAR more cost effective solution--10'x10' Peltiers, Peltiers the size of train stations and Wal-Mart roofs and Coca Cola plants--in order to stop the cycle of heating-for-cooling we currently practice.

the explanation of (how moving electrons through a thermocouple pumps heat) is: in order to have thermocouple u should have two different material wires and they should have different numbers of electrons orbiting the nucleus at different orbits (say 3rd for wire 1 and 6th for wire 2)..and the wires are jointed at their ends when u apply heat to the junction u r actually releases different amount of electrons from both wires and due to that difference u get the voltage difference and that is what we r using to measure temperature.. But.... when u apply voltage u r forcing the electrons to flow through the thermocouple and that is causing electrons from lower energy levels orbit to oscillate at higher energy orbits and vice versa. then an electron with its own energy is now orbiting at (Say) 3rd orbit and u put him to orbit at 6th orbit with its same amount of energy, it will oscillate much slower and the opposite will happen if an electron came from 6th orbit to 3rd... now we knew that due to applying voltage we ill make some electrons oscillate faster and the other oscillate slower and that movement is what we are sensing or detecting as heat ( higher oscillation means high temp. and vice versa).. i hope that could clarify something

[@JKBEAST]

3:18 , I dont exactly know with a lot of details , just thought of sharing it. Actually whenever we talk about heat energy , it is basically a modified form of kinetic energy. For example imagine an adiabetic process with a moveable piston on the top of a cylinder containing a gas (or just normal air). If the piston is pushed inside, the temperature of the temperature of the air rises amd it becomes hotter. At the same time it is observed due to less volume available , the frequency of atoms colliding with walls of cylinder increases which increases the pressure resulting in increased speed therefore higher kinetic energy. The complete opposite happens in vice versa, piston is moved a little outwards, it cools the gas and it has less kinetic energy. Consider another example is heating any solid, atoms of solids are quite close to each other, so if we heat the solid, its atom vibrates and the oscillations contain kinetic energy. So basically heat energy is a result of kinetic energy and vice versa. In other words these both forms of energy are almost the same. So saying that electrons carry heat as they move is just another way of saying they have kinetic energy. I might be a little wrong though but as far as I remember what I studied , I just thought it might be helpful to someone. If you find anything wrong, please correct me.

[@meltossmedia]

This one's for me. So the Seeback and Peltier effect works in the same way as a solar panel is like an LED. Heat is typically radiated using photons, which are emitted by any object of a certain temperature (blackbody radiation). As heat is just an amount of kinetic energy, the photons give energy to electrons, causing them to drift. The electrons, now higher energy, have a velocity. The voltage potential then counteracts this velocity, resulting in the momentum of the electron being transferred to the other conductors atoms, and the energy is absorbed by the other conductor, causing one to cool down and the other to heat up.

[@dziubo1]

Oh, so for dumbass like me. Volatage acts like a stimulator for electrons - it gies them bigger capacity and allows them to dicipate heat along, py passing to another particles along wire? Is it like catching heat from photons and throwing it away?

I love this -- great video! Can I suggest using a thermotransfer epoxy product like ArticSilver(tm) instead of thermal-paste. I think will provide better heat transfer and at the same time adhere the parts together. Also, possibly a closed-cell foam material as insulation -- styrofoam(tm) maybe. One last thing... not sure if you know but you can stack the peltier thermoelectric panels to improve their effect (get more temperature differences). Odd... your wife unit has the same problem with cold feet as mine... they sort of like human peltier devices. Scientific Solution: Place a small electric blanket on her side of the bed between upper sheet and blanket from her knees downward. Based on the Seebeck effect she should then generate high voltage... sparking, etc.

[@subesube040]

In material, there are two ways of conducting heat, the first is by harmonic vibration of atoms (phonon) and mostly by charge carrier (either delocalised electron or hole). the charge carrier concentration determines whether material act as insulator, semiconductor or well conductor. A conductor is bad for a thermoelectric device, why? because thermal conductivity will also be high (Wiedemann-Franz law) which makes heat source and heat sink temperature promptly homogenise. What you want is a very good electrical conductor (good charge pump) but the very bad thermal conductor. Which is a dilemma since thermal conduction also related to charge-carrier concentration and related to, well electrical conductivity. that's why at the moment, the efficiency of a thermoelectric device is quite low. And with the electrical current flow, there is irreversible Joule heating (current square*electrical resistance), that's why you observe an increase of temperature of both sides. But Seebeck coefficient of the material/device (dV/dT) makes the temperature gradient stay the same as long as the voltage maintained. Maybe, use high voltage but low current to minimise Joule heating? (of course, the refrigeration will slow down as well. The thermoelectric device performance is measured with Power Factor, but power factor could be different in different temperature, so it is compared with Figure of Merit (ZT) which takes into account Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity and the temperature where it measured. Achieving efficient thermoelectric material is difficult, it is easy to get a really bad one because it is easy to get good thermal and bad electrical conductor but not the other way around. One method is to use a Phonon Glass Electron Crystal (PGEC) concept which is by selecting a material with bad crystallinity (near amorphous, lowering phonon conduction) but a good conductor, such as clathrate materials, Zintl or material with big unit cell and many many atoms in it.

How it works on atomic / quantum level? I can imagine situation as follow. The flat surface with current connected to opposite sides of the surface causes the flow of electrons. But due to the shape of the surface, the electrons create circular current movement - as in the coil. This circular movement also causes the magnetic field to "move" as in the coli perpendicular to the axis of the circular current. But what is different, that in the coil you don't have any obstacle on the way of the magnetic field (the interior of the coil is empty). Here you have the surface which is affected by magnetic field. Here are only my imagination further: the magnetic field slows down the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation of the surface (cooling) on one side and speeds up the frequency of radiation on the other side (heating). I can imagine this as an item positioned in the wind - it will get cooler faster because the "wind" is taking the energy from the obstacle. In case of your experiment, the "wind" is the magnetic field. And the energy is given back on the opposite (heating) side of the obstacle. Probably this could be proven experimentally by placing the same shape in the middle of the coil. If it cools down and heats up then this is the case. Please let me know what you think about it :)

[@stevenpotter8228]

good explanation!! Get this to the top so people can see it

[@Alienami]

I assume it works like laser cooling does, which is how they get the record lowest temperatures. Basically... By adding and removing energy at the right time, you force it to shed heat and get colder. So, I imagine this device is like a microwave for atoms in the circuit... Forcing one side to get cold and the other to get hot by making them gain and shed energy. There is a similar effect in Thermo Acoustics, where you can turn a flame over one end of a tube into vibrations in the tube from air moving from sound waves in tube then the tube makes different hot and cold sections until you have the output reach the other end of the tube... Either hot or cold depending on tuning of the glass tube and amout of heat and all that. May help to have an analog computer to tune and play with.

[@przemyslawkroliszewski2322]

@@Alienami Cooling by the laser is working in similar way to slowing down the pendulum. If you put the right force in right time it will slow down. The lower the vibration the lower the temperature. So, yes, it generaly slows down the vibration of particles in the one side of Peltier device and speeds up (to keep the balance) on the other. The sum of temperatures should be zero. Isn't it?

[@paulcollins8672]

I live in a cold climate and I have often thought of using these in an ice shanty to power lights and devices. If one were to put the heat sinks through the wall to the outside where the temperature was below freezing and have the other side on the inside where it's heated. Perhaps even directly behind the shanty stove. It should generate a fairly decent amount of electricity without costing extra energy. What do you think?

The Peltier works because the electrons which pass through the semiconducting material are jumping either down the band gap to a lower energy state (releases heat) or they jump up to the higher energy state which cools down the material ;) This works because the two semiconductors have band gaps with different energy levels (n-type and p-type doping).

3:18 - Spin caloritronics is a relatively new field of research and focuses specifically on the interaction of spins with heat currents, motivated by the continuing discovery of new thermoelectric effects. Two of the most fundamental thermoelectric phenomena are the Seebeck and Peltier effects. These effects couple heat, charge and spin in magnetic materials. The Seebeck effect describes the direct conversion of a thermal gradient to an electric voltage. Conversely, the Peltier effect is a temperature difference developed across a material in response to an applied voltage. At the atomic scale, this corresponds to an applied temperature gradient causing charge carriers to move from the hot to the cold side of the material, inducing a measurable voltage.

I've been working with solid state Peltier devices for over 15 years. They are used for sample gas coolers to remove condensation from a gas sample stream for emission analyzers. They are very reliable and can be used in place of a compressor cooling system. The best way to control them is to use PWM . They must be mounted to a heat sink. The life will be shorten significantly otherwise. We've used an AD595 IC with a thermocouple as a feedback loop in the past. A thermistor with a digital control loop is the newer control scheme, but still PWM. You can also stack the Peltiers to increase the heat or cooling capability.

@@thefalseshepherd3689 they are stacked cold/hot, cold/ hot. The cold side faces the hot side of the previous Peltier. The wattage of the secondary is higher than the primary, but I doubt that matters too much. I hope my description makes sense to you.

[@iridium9512]

My understanding is that heat is composed of 2 parts: atomic vibrations and vibrations of electrons that conduct electricity. One side of device is semiconductor with big electron potential energy and the other has low one. But they both have the same kinetic energy because they're at the same temperature. So when they two come in contact, potential energy is different, So electrons move from high potential energy state into a lower energy state from one semiconductor side to the other. So one side now has less electrons, aka less heat, while the other one gets hot electrons which because they came from higher potential energy state, release their energy as more heat. In essence, hot electrons physically move from one side of device to the other. When you put electricity through it, you are using voltage to move more electrons from cold side to the hot side. Electrons move from higher potential energy to lower one. Effectively, removing hot electrons from cold side and depositing them on the hot side. When you do it the other way around, you are pushing electrons from low potential energy to high potential energy. And you move hot electrons to high potential energy state. Hot electrons loose their kinetic energy, or their hotness which gets converted to potential energy. Now thermoelectric device has many of these junctions. Here's a little map to understand it better: HS - high potential energy semiconductor LS - low potential energy semiconductor ^ - wire up _ - wire down HS^LS_HS^LS_HS^LS_ so as you see, if electrons move from left to right, high potential energy hot electrons will deposit heat on the up side of low potential energy semiconductor. Then low potential electrons will move from down side to high potential energy state and will get cooler by loosing kinetic energy and transforming it to potential energy. So in this configuration, thermoelectric device will get cold on it's down side and get hot on it's up side. And when you put electricity in reverse, same thing happens in reverse. Low potential electrons ho to high potential through up wire and reduce heat on up side, and high potential electrons move into a low potential state through wire downwards, creating heat downwards. This is my understanding from places like Wikipedia and other sources. Important to note that this is not the same potential that comes from things like conduction band and valence band. It is some sort of affinity towards electrons that changes with different temperatures. I hope my explanation made sense.

I have a feeling that, based on the demonstration in the video, if you did what you’re suggesting then the hot side would get too hot and the device would just burn up. The colder one side gets, the hotter the other side is, I’m pretty sure. That means that if you’re exponentially cooling in series then you’re also doing the inverse and mr electro boom himself almost burned one device just from powering it up fully without a heat sink.

Back in high school Thermoelectric device was my favorite in iran like 15 years ago. when i bought one i dreamed i could make a new world and many stuff. but i never did :D . i just freezed the ambient moisture and also made a useless soda can cooler. the hot side needs to be cooled down very efficiently to stop heat to flow from hot to cold side. because hot and cold sides are too close and due to the low resistance and flow of current it acts like a heat element and there will be more heat generated than the heat soaked . you peltiers can reach under zero pretty fast. they are good brand i think. another ideas with TED : bound peltiers in an array in which the hot side of the first is sticked to cold side of the next. so you can multiply the temperature difference. it's called series arrangement. this way you can reach really low temperatures. using a candle or glass magnifier as heat source and you can make a small power generator. the generated power can be increased if supply it to a fan to cool down the cold side and get more power. p.s : why not to use 3d printer ??? p.s : you are my hero in many ways.
