Joule Thief (Heat Pump) 008

lol this dumbfuck is asking for money, what a loser. Get a real job

@rawimpact this channel isn't meant for children...

[mrskullcrush55]

is ther anything i can take apart that has a peltier unit in it? if not where can i get one

[josephdupont]

what is the wattage rating of your unit? do you have a cirucut.

I've tried many times but with no success.

[josephdupont]

what is the wattage rating of your unit?

[trailkeeper]

I guess insulating both the hot and cold storage containers would make the energy last longer since the hot and cold sources would be more stable or unaffected by the air losses, I'm sure you know that, but some might not.

[maurotamm]

So you can create a alternative power source for space stations:

make one side face the sun all the time (with lens system to concentrate light on it - for loads of heat) and 2nd side with a radiator in open space - and space is cold.

You would have infinite incoming heat source, you don't have to pay for and perfect cooling.

With added durability (instead of wide open, fragile solar panels).

[chalky92203]

I've been looking into this, a few of these on a car exhaust with a big heatsink attached in the air flow of the car or have the radiator system of the car cooling it, providing power for the car. Me and some mates did a mini test run using a 100W peltiers using a candle and ice making 1.38V @ 0.21A (which I've uploaded) and another test used 4 with a Bunsen burner and dry ice to make about 15V @ 0.8A, which lit a 6V filament with ease but didn't blow it. I just need to make a joule theif now :p

[siulp478w]

man can you give me the tutorial how make these joules thief i make the tradicional joules thief but i dont like plis o give me your mail grax man

[morpher44]

I wonder if cold fusion could produce the heat needed for these devices? Very little power is needed to get cold fusion going.

[originxxx]

why not stick a load of these tec devices on the penumbra of the moon? Im off to build my car out of these now!

[chop98]

Use the TEC to charge batteries with a regulator, run the heater off the batteries. Would be a small heater, but it would work none the less. I'm building my own ecofan here shortly using this TEC and a heatsink. Saving about 175 bucks.

[kubikop]

Think of where you do not need heat and then, thats where to put them Like in the oven after a meal, or on you car exhaust or on your radiator. You could have free air conditioning in your car whilst cooling the engine at the same time. That would give more miles per gallon too!

[CosmicGnarler]

Yeah I just thought of that. Hot exaust pipe and snowy cold outside. Thats gotta be a charge!

[RupertsCrystals]

Well that's pretty cool. It never occurred to me that a Peltier cell would work in reverse. I only knew it as a cooling device.

[killzpwnz0red]

@RupertsCrystals: Any led will also work in reverse if you hold it up to a light or in the sun and put a volt meter on each leg of the led you will see Voltage!;-)

[RupertsCrystals]

That's cool. I never even thought of that.

I just tried it but it was hard to tell with my old analog voltmeter; will try again later.

[kubikop]

Think of this then, If you put one on the engine of your car, which you want to stay cool then you could charge batteries whilst cooling your engine...!

And Killzpwnz0red is right you can use LEDs as solar cells its well interesting, dont you think?

We waste so much energy why are street lamps not just made of LEDs (joule thief's but collectors also) or Traffic Lights? If they were our Taxes would come down..... well maybe not but the wallpaper in the government buildings would be nice... ;-)

[RupertsCrystals]

BMW are already trialling a thermoelectric generator fitted to the exhaust pipe. YouTube won't let me put hyperlinks in comments, so just Google "bmw thermoelectric generator" and you should find it.

Here in Melbourne (Australia), most of our traffic signals are now LEDs, as are the train signals. Also, if you visit Cree's website, you'll see that there are a couple of councils in the US are now using LED streetlighting.

[RupertsCrystals]

I couldn't get that to work. I guess it must depend on what type of LED you use. I used a conventional red one, and a conventional green one.

I'll have to play around with some others and see if I get anywhere.

[stevesrd]

nice,,I used to wonder if a house walls were made of Peltier Modules and during winter that would keep the one side/outside cold,,and naturally it being warmer inside/being the other side of the Peltier Modules how much power could u make having it wired to inside heaters, would seem the colder it was outside and the hotter it became inside,,the more power you would have to run your heaters and have power left over,hmm

[Demoman42]

Cool..

Just think: if you need some light you just piss (sry for word "piss") into glass and there we go ;)

[kubikop]

lol, I was thinking of using wasted boiled water after a cup of tea or putting it on the hob once you have finished cooking..

Charge a few free batteries up..

[bears7777777]

@kubikop yes, but you can also "recycle" the tea you drank. lol

[Nicro327]

@Demoman42 Turning pee into energy. Oh technology just gets better and better :P

[Lidmotor]

Another great idea!! I have a Peltier Module just like the one in your video. Bought it on Ebay. I got it to make a minature AC unit using a Bedini Fan. It didn't work. Draws too much juice. Using it this way makes alot more sense. I have also seen a video of someone using this on the exhaust manifold of a car it gather energy.

[kubikop]

Same here dude, It just did not have the voltage! If you try this PM me with the video.

Paul

[medi40]

Nice experiment. Why not try to do with thermoelectric power generator? It gives more voltage.

[kubikop]

Ill look into in it, Thanks.

[Plasmana2000]

Where can I get a Peltier Module? I have been looking for one of those for ages...

[kubikop]

I got mine from ebay, they are about £5 + p&p

[RupertsCrystals]

Here in Australia they are quite common. In camping stores they sell car fridges and powered coolers etc. A lot of these use Peltier cells.

[JavaLessons]

Temperature difference is an important principle : Stirling, Fluidyne f.e.

What happens without the JT circuit, does the LED light at all and if it does, for how long ?

[kubikop]

Just tried it, the LED will not light at all if directly connected!

Thats very interesting I think as the low voltage must have a relatively High Amps!

Paul

[overunitydotcom]

Well done.

were still some ice left at the end ?

[kubikop]

Cheers, yes there was Ice left. I am thinking It should be heat at the bottom and ice at the top but I need to make an enclosure for it.

Paul.

[WorldStove]

please do. would love to see how that works

[zeropointinstitute]

Are you familiar with bio-mass-gassification?

They use it in Sweden to send heat underground to many of the public buildings downtown.

We could take all the garbage sitting in our landfills, extract the gas from it, use that gas to drive a motor/generator, then cover the whole unit with joule thieves to take extra energy from the heat created.

[kubikop]

It would be nice to recycle all the land fills into usable power generators. Its just people need to get behind these ideas....

It would work with geothermal also, I was considering using the exhaust of a car to drive a HHO Generator. Thats got to be a Win Win Situation..... It would run Cooler and Create its own fuel to an extent.....

Paul.

[marthale7]

there is a video of someone who has already done this they sell this device.
