Excellent test! I'm new to 2 the field of thermo-couplers. My expertise is being able to generate 50, 000 Btu heat inside of a 1.5 x 16 inch iron pipe. The back side of the pipe is ambient temp. and hoping to use this as COMMON ref. pt. with inserted #8 gauge x 8 inch copper leads as the voltage ref. pt. with a pot. temp. dif. between 1,800 - 400 F or 1, 400 F.The pipe itself forms the junction between the copper and iron. Would this work? I like to think outside of the box. Ps. reply?
Your experiment sounds very interesting. I'm not sure if you're going to get a voltage between the two junction pots. Please let me know how your results come out!
If it does not work, you can use 10 to 20 peltier modules in series an you'll get a large current and voltage with that heat difference you using.
Now all we need is to awaken the masses that they dont have to go to war and kill each other so that some rich oil company's get richer and destroy the world!!?...There are alot of free energi devices out there, and people they dont know about them!!?
I need help. I'm trying to do the same here but I have more than one module operating. So how can I have all of them producing a voltage along two terminals. What circuit should I arrange them in?
That is correct! A Stirling Engine is more efficient than thermo modules. But my experiments show that the Thermo Module Lamp produces a lot more light than the Stirling Engine Generator Lamp. The reason I think is because of one step process vs. a two step process. The Stirling Engine produces mechanical energy which then has to be converted into electricity. The Thermo Module is a one step process, heat directly into
Yes, I agree totally, although the generator setup on your stirling is not so good.
BTW: the thermo modules have a maximum temperature because of the soldered element inside. Be sure not to go above 130* C. There are high temp modules available, but they cost more.
I'm trying to show the similarity between both stirling engine and thermo-electric modules.Both use temperature differences to produce electric power! but stirling engines use two steps,thermo energy converted into mechanical energy and then mechanical energy into electrical energy via generator.Thermo-modules use one step,thermo energy directly into electrical energy.
@unlimitedtechnology they may produce the same type of energy in the end, but your analogy is like comparing a diesel electric engine in a locomotive to a gasoline powered engine in a car.
you simply can't discount the other steps to conclude that two devices are similar. Besides, stirling generators use four steps. Thermal energy; kinetic energy; mechanical energy; electrical energy
Annoyingly, this is probably more efficient than any homemade Stirling electric generator on youtube.
It sure is bright.
You gotta love the simplicity of solid state electric generators. I hear the intense heat degrades their performance over time though, an unfortunate disadvantage if one is chasing performance.

@Ebdan88 Please understand the difference between free energy and converted energy. Free energy does not exist, only converted does.

Hi, What's the DC/DC converter you used?
Thanx

The efficiency of these thermo - modules is around 2 to 4 %.
Its simple and easy though, I have one myself :)
A well designed and tuned stirling engine will go over 10% efficiency.
The simple ones are maybe 1 % efficient.
The NASA stirlings for space use are around 30%, as are the solar sterlings.
