This is phase 4 of the project. everything is hooked up except for 2 peltiers. i still having issues of getting power, so im going to try and rig up some power supplies to see if i cannot get full power.

I have thermometers, and im taking a reading after about 4 minutes of runtime. ambient temperature is about 75 degrees in my room. the water reads about 2 degrees colder than the air comming out of the fan duct, and the peltier is about a degree colder than the water.

next video i hope to have some power and all peltiers hooked up.

  • hey bro. you got an idea but you doing it wrong you dont need water at all you gain too much energy in the process ,and you should have enough power with 20 plus amperes if you weren't using the water pumps either ,i'm building one heat pump/ A/C for my dog's house i'm more than half ways there but i don't know if i'm gonna post a video though , good idea you just making it too complicated

  • @KennyMckormickk Reason i used water, is i built several others with just heatsinks.

    The problem is, with heatsinks, they have to be VERY MASSIVE or they cant handle the heat load that the peltiers dump onto them without causing destruction of the peltier. been there, done that. I even used a huge 20 pound heatsink, arctic silver, and forced air cooling. no go.

    The water cooling method worked AWSOME on the hot side of things. just not cold side. need heatsink for cold side.

  • I totally scrapped the project. Well, i told the guy that machined the water blocks and the distribution blocks with mounting plates for me, he made the distros out of steel. i told him aluminum. Well, guess what, steel rusts. it rusted as it sat, and clogged everything up. its all done. Hey, it was worth a good go anyway.... now its all scrap metal

  • maybe if the heatsink was made out of pure copper. but the efficiancies were terrible, alot worse than this, thats what made me move to this type of setup.

  • good luck with that. hehe. im unemployed, just made this stuff with parts laying around.

see all

  • @KeithWasHere1 he said recycle not pump it in the vehicle.

  • hes telling you re introduce the exhaust gas back into the cabin??? is he planning on killing the occupants of the vehicle?

  • can any1 tell me how to do a car ac we r doing it as ur project our sir told tat we have 2 do it using vapoua absorption refrigeration system he is telling tat we shld design the generator of the ac so tat we can recycle the exhaust gases nd take the exhaust gas as an input 2 the car ac..can any1 give us an idea..?

  • We made one, search for mes 1500 mes 2500 or mes 3500. Or email me @ vts@me.com

  • @THEtechknight You should have had a 50/50 mix of water and radiator fluid. This would have avoided the rust. Any car or computer geek would tell you to never use 100% water as all metals corrode, just in different ways. Polyethylene Glycol is an excellent corrosion inhibitor.

  • @THEtechknight

    I am interested to purchase the waterblock system you have.
