Thermoelectric generator powering LEDs from the heat off a cup of hot water

[brandenwolmarans]

need spesifications from sync to joule thief and thermal electro modual for school experiment would you care to share plzz ?

@brandenwolmarans The peltier module is TEC-12706 , joule thief from an emergency phone charger.

Full details are on my site in the description box.

did you make your Joule Theif or buy it? It looks nice and compact.

[specallez]

@nixego I bought it. It's from one of those emergency phone chargers.

wHAT IS THE MAX TEMP THEY CAN TAKE???

[specallez]

@josephdupont Abou 130c I think.

where did you get the teg ? I tried to buy some a woodstove teg generator from those thieves at tegpower dot com but they only processed the credit card and took the money. in nearly a year they haven't shipped - however they have lied to me in about 3 or 4 e-mails and said they are going to ship within a week or so.

@ff29sask I got mine off ebay TEC-12706 will cost about £3 . Bear in mind these modules are relatively low temperature though! They are only rated to 130c. They'll probably melt on a wood stove.

Hope this helps,

how do you power LEDs with .6 volts?

[specallez]

@w3bguru The joule thief steps the voltage up to 3 to 5 volts :)

What could you do with an upside down pyramid that has a wave pool on top (teeter tottering wave pool like) could you use it to make energy ? It is up for grabs by I. Good luck to you.

Thumbs up with a 'Like'! Cool!

This is my kind of experiment!

It's a pleasure to see a technology used in a way not typically seen.
