Questions about creating electricity from a Peltier Tile
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2022 5:37 pm
Hi,
We are a team apart of a Robotics Competition and we are called STEM Cells Y.
Our target was to come up with a problem and solution regarding energy.
Our problem is in relation to creating electricity that was not connected any power lines or solar - typically seen in camping or power outage situations. Free and purposeful.
Can we use Peltier Tile modules to create electricity?
Our design: We cool one side of the Peltier tile with some heavy duty heat sinks attached together with thermal paste. We heat the other side by placing (a removeable) aluminum cake tin that holds boiling water. We are not sure how much voltage this alone will generate but we are also planning to attach a Voltage Booster to increase the output voltage. We want to be able to power a emergency phone, a light bulb or fan.
Do you have any advise in terms of materials, design, purpose or even other experts you can share with us?
Kind Regards,
Students from STEM Cells Y.
