  • it would be better if the technology could be reproduced with everyday items.Diy peltier device.How can this made cheaply?

  • Peltiers are interesting, but as one side get's hotter, the other side needs to get colder, this is not efficient enough.

  • why did u put a heat sink on the side youre trying to get hot? seems this is why it doesent work well even when you blowtorch it... cool insight though

  • Congratulations, you just converted 100W into 1W. I don't know about heat from the sun, wouldn't it be easier and more efficient to just use a solar panel?

  • Make one of these thing HUGE: 1 side in the middle of the earth, and the other side in space. Heat diffirence: 5000 Dregree :)

  • Funny thing is though the candles produced alot more light than the bulb did :')

  • thx and god bless. ^_^

  • Basically this is not free device your converting one form of energy to another form.

  • I have a green mode which makes my body consume just 1W in stand-by.

  • what do the radiators do?

    doesnt it just slow down the heat loss on the cool side and increase the distance from the heatsource which makes it worse??

  • where did u buy a peltier?

  • Outstanding music......

  • Average human produces about 100 watts of excess heat in standby, which is used for keeping us warm. We are quite unefficient machines :)

  • This is very valuable experiment and very nicely presented.

    Peltier's module has unfortunatly very low efficiency. If thinking about having clothes with some kind of Peltier's modules it doesn't make sense just because the module needs temperature difference as high as possible, so it achieves thermal current thru it. It has low thermal resistance and it would be cooling our bodies off. If we would have the elements on top of the clothes, then the temperature difference would be too small.

  • Excuse me sir, but when you boiled the kettle, you probably actually used 1000 times more energy than the peltier is producing (maybe more). So it's far from free.

    Do what daniliver said and you should be grand.

  • Making a drink chiller with a peltier.

  • This is not free energy. Please stop calling it that.

    it's ->CONVERTED<- energy. you already pay for the energy that you put into it, either via the cost of that candle, or your own muscle power if you used wood to fuel it.

    Rules of Thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.

  • You might get a small improvement using nylon bolts to join the 2 halves together, this would reduce conduction from hot to cold via the bolts you use. It also seems a good way of getting energy out of a solar oven. With the hotside in a solar oven painted black. But how do they compare to solar panels of 12 to 15% efficientcy?

  • it is NOT free - heat is some kind of energy

    peltier module it is not efficient

  • this effekt is known since 1834 or something like that. the problem with this is that the efficiency is very low. theoreticly u can get something about 70% if i remember correctly. but at the moment the efficiency is about 10%. so u can use this converting effect only where u have to make it wireless and where heat is constantly produced.

    more often this modules are used to cool something down with electricity. because this effect is reversible.

  • Unfortunately this is not "free" energy. It is just conversion of heat into electricity.. Sorry but the universal rule still stands. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, just coverted or dissipated to another form.

  • @Physicalworld free is not about creating energy. free is about using it with almost no additional cost. in this case its possible in very view examples like wireless sensor in some heatgenerating device.

  • @ILoveSoImAlive But that's just it.. this was an extremely inefficient display of that concept.. There was a large quantity of energy needed, from the energy it took to pour the water to physics mechanics transferring the heat into the Peltier module. Not to mention the BTU's lost into the air.. the cost of energy spent was hundreds of times the amount of energy it takes to light that bulb. Cost is about efficiency.. which here, there was none.

  • @Physicalworld yea. in this case its either lack of knowledge or the next advertising gimmick to find some buyer for peltier-modules. like all the magnet "almost perpetum mobile" advertisings here on utube.

    imo its advertising this time too.

  • @ILoveSoImAlive Indeed

  • @Physicalworld A peltier would be best used to take advantage of heat from something you are already using. There is a peltier powered fan that sits on top of a wood stove. The fan then blows the hot air across the room.

    You could also use the heat from the hood of your car on a nice hot day. I was also thinking you could stick some in a solar oven. That way you can charge your cell phone while you are cooking.

  • and then we had dinamos

  • so ... what would happen if you put 2 peltier devices together

    lets say you stick both 'hot' sides together and just put power on one of them, the hot side will heat the other one...and the 'room' temperature would cool the cold sides....

    wouldnt this cause the unpowered peltier device to start creating/converting the excess heat back to energy ?

    and could it be enough to (partially power 'itself' ???? just a thought...

    maybe u guys could test this ?

  • @FreedomRebel I was thinking the same thing. Once I get some heatsinks, I may give it a try. I suspect it wont work. But it could be fun to try it anyway.

  • i feel like those candles are brighter then the mentols ! hahaha...anyway good work

  • GREAT WORK MAN!

    THANK YOU :)

  • How much temp can these peltiers take before they go bad?

  • ~ 190'C

  • change the source by a lens pointed to the sun , and you get really free energy

  • @dan, I have done that.

  • so?

  • does the other part cools like the peltier's effect?

  • @111188y No. The "cold side" stays at about room temperature. Actually, it would be slightly warmer because the peltier device conducts heat from the hot side to the cooler side.

  • Thermocouples have been in use much longer than these units and are cheaper to make...

  • otistic boy

    the water is heating by energy

  • hot water is just an example, replace it by a concentrate sun beam

  • why you call this free energy?

    It has nothing to do with that!

  • olha......gerar 1 volt com toda essa parafernalia????meu Deus....é melhor pegar um limão que gera 1,5v.

  • Comment removed

  • how much voltage would the human skin produce? Peltiers clothes? :)

  • Circa 100-130 W :)) x several thousand people in the stadium = several hundred hot coffees :))

    Maybe peltier condoms would be a better idea?? :D

  • dibbs for the hot side

  • there is a law of nature called concitency of energy ..

    meaning you can't create energy from nothing

    and you can't lose energy in nothing

    it's NOT free energy as the energy you get here is coming from the het (hot water/candle fat)

    (sorry for lack of english)

  • Oh realy? Thanks for the tip.

    You should read comments below first.

    Called it 'free' I meant 'cheap'. We know there is no 'free energy'. Everything on this globe is driven by the Sun: rivers, winds, storms. In this case the Sun could be a source of heat. How much do you pay for the sunlight in your country?

  • I'm not trying to insult you, but there is one energy source that isn't driven by the sun. The tides are caused by the moon. But anways, really cool video. I just ordered a Peltier module, and I'm going to try to make a mini makeshift airconditioner. I'll let you know how it ends up working out ;)

  • thats so cool, good work! i like the musik, what is it??

  • The music is annoying :) I made it by myself :)

  • i like i!

    just ordered myself a few peltier modules, cant wait to try them!

  • Good luck and enjoy! Show us your module on the YT.

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards.

  • Това е остарел метод,защото КПД е твърде нисък!Няма смисъл-рандемана е лош!ИМА НАЧИН ДА СЕ ДИГНЕ КПД НА ПЕЛТИЕР ЕЛЕМЕНТА ДО 80%!!!

  • Аз знам. Тя възстановява, както и толкова много енергия, като например слънчевата ... :)))

  • thats expensive transformat the energy:(

    OK but trought all good job , peace!

  • I agree! It's expensive, but how expensive was cellular phone 10 years ago? How expensive were cars, solar panels, TV's?

    Thanks for watching and comment :)) Peace!

  • there is no free energy involved with this experement

  • Yes, you're right. Solar warmth is very expensive... sorry for that...

  • Hey, do you know how to construct the hardware itself? What material is it? Thx

  • en.wikipedia(.)org/wiki/Thermo­electric_cooling

  • You are such an idiot that you didn't understand that hot water was in the substitution of the sun. Compassion of stupidity from us all...

    You have IQ of the calculator...

  • The sun heats black, matt color up to 196'C... Have you got another question?

  • Go to your first comment to my movie and think.

    In first comment you called us 'idiots' and now you need to know more about this stupid video...

    Split personality?

  • Can't you answer my question?!

  • Where did you get this device and how much and which one.

    Thanks

    Scott

  • Device is from computer shop. Take a look on ebay. Power of my device is 267 Watt. Cost is ~ 18$

  • very nice and clean intuitive about the ideia..

    thanks

  • Thanks man :o)

  • nice!

  • Thanks man :o)

  • whats the rated wattage on the module???

  • Thanks! I'm currently expirementing with peltier modules and picked up some ideias from your video. We need more people like you.

  • Thanks man :o)

  • Very nice video man. I'm happy to find other video about this theme. Congratulations.

  • Thanks!

    We published it almost at the same time :)

    Thanks for watching :)
