Peltier Driven Woodburner Fan

I made one of these using two peltiers, it wasnt as good as this, this my propellor was to heavy and i used the wrong engine. Can you tell me what engine your is and is your prop metal of plastic ?

Does it stop or slow down significantly as the peltier module heats up? In a mini-fridge, you need power to exhaust the heat away. And the module looses efficiency as the two sides equalize in temperature.

Whats the name of the song?

@intheshitter Sorry I don't know. It was copyright free music downloaded from somewhere or other.

Looks like the type of motor commonly found in portable cassette tape players and CD players.

I have a few of those motors as well as a few peltier modules. Might try this! I had no idea you could generate enough power for something like this using a peltier.

just got my woodburner fired up and was thinking of one of these fans...where did youy get the peltier module from?

[mowerofdoom]

It's from a cheap electric fridge/food heater. You can also find the elements for around 20-30 pounds. The motor is a low drain solar motor.

Cheers for the quick reply, can you tell me what the prop is made of, i'd have thought a plastic one would eventually melt ?
