Thermocouple Tutorial

[smithmarcust]

Hi mr welander I'm an ac tec in tx and my hobby is renewable energy I have a question about your video if I add more heat and extened the surface of the thermocouple would it be practical to recharge a battery bank with and how big do u think the heat and thermocouple would be I look forward to hearing from u plz email at smith.marcus.t@gmail.com thanks for the video

my physics professor had a nifty gizmo he showed in class, it used the same effect ; heating dissimilar metals to generate voltage. it was a copper bar wrapped around a 3/4" thick 2" diameter steel disk. both ends had large (1.5^2")plates, (didn't get a close view) but since the copper wrapped about 350 degrees around the steel disk, when he hit the plate with a torch, he produced an electromagnet that held up 8kg and i've been searching the web to find it. when it cooled the weights fell.

This video was very well done. Excellent refresher too. Thanks very much for taking the time to explain the salient concepts.

[PhilippoChannel]

you make this stuff fun... keep it up

[kyunhwoarang]

this is really easy to understand because it has visual aid, straight forward and simple.. usually in a classroom, you only see letters and mathematical formula.. i think it lacks attraction..hence, students become bored and the understanding of the idea is lacking..or maybe they just care about exam and not practicality.. haha "better known as my basement" a good one..

[yanalroot1]

very simple step by step, thank you.

[steelfine]

how can we use transistors instead of copper-steel wires...? thanks in advance..

[akkbuilders]

So well explained! Thank You!

[dbntrailsrider]

thank you, somebody that actually makes sense

[mring001]

Very informative and entertaining!

[funfrmekik]

thnx thnx thnx superb grt,,maavalous!!

[MrEmiliocan]

Hey, maan! Nice video, nice channel!

I'm a Control & Automation Engineering student from Brazil, and your channel is very usefull!

Sorry 'bout the bad english!

[ZombiedustXXX]

Very nice tutorial...subbed!

I have that same DMM. I bought it in 1989!

i have an idea on how to use it as a constant power source but i need your opinion on it if it might work?

[1932chevrolet]

Copper-Constantan <-- what is/ where do you find constantan wire?  MMCar?

[dhanoaboyzh]

thanks for teaching us... can we generate 2 to 4 volts from temp not more than 60 degree's and if yes then which typ of thermocoulpe will be used ?

[BuilderRoss]

Really great basic info for beginners. Could you do a video on how to calibrate an air bubbler and level transmitter.

[charismaticpirate]

Thank you great Engineer,You are really helpful..

Keep moving in this-Good Luck

[dan020350]

can you teach us how wireless energy work

[rayram55]

Good video. Very informitive. I never understood the concept before watching this you have a good method of teaching and communicating.

Thank You

[HelioPyres]

Thank you! Very Informative. Very well explained.

[80amnesia]

more vdos like this one please, thanks

[80amnesia]

thanks your vdos are great, post more on control engineering

[delballer]

this video was helpful thank u

[ShimmerArc]

Brilliant video! 5/5

[onthecuttingedge2005]

if you wanted to make it more efficient you would make layers of alternating copper and copper/nickel about 10 microns or less each so you end up with thousands of thermocouple layers.

[anhydroux]

WOW! What a great video! Peter, please do more vids. PLEASEEEE.

The usual way of converting voltage to temperature is with a table. These are available online and in reference books for all common thermocouple types. The ice simply provides a known temperature reference. Most thermocouple charts assume that one end of the wire is at 32° F, so the temperature difference is in reference to that.

[lorenzom21]

Love it. how do you calculate the temperature from the voltage reading? How is the ref. junction (ice water) used as far as mathematics is concerned?

[macrumpton]

Nice presentation. It might be even clearer if you had the elements on a white piece of paper or a solid color surface to make the easier to see.

[joerob00]

Thanks for your time and this great video. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge...

[TearDrop1961]

Thanks for that easy to understand video. Helps me understand thermocouples a bit better.

Greetings from the UK

[PeterProcessEditor]

A thermocouple can only measure temperature differential between the hot and cold end of the wire. Using icewater establishes the cold end at 32° F so you can calculate the correct value for the hot end.

[xoomas]

Nice quality :)

[Majorbud]

how dose the ice water work as a control, wouldent it act like a resistor being cold? If so is the tempreture of the ice water the known vareable?

[flyinseal]

This video really helped me a lot in understanding thermocouples. I was having difficulty understanding thermocouple in wikipedia. This video is really useful. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[TheBlackSky000]

Very useful video.

Thanks
