Hi mr welander I'm an ac tec in tx and my hobby is renewable energy I have a question about your video if I add more heat and extened the surface of the thermocouple would it be practical to recharge a battery bank with and how big do u think the heat and thermocouple would be I look forward to hearing from u plz email at smith.marcus.t@gmail.com thanks for the video

my physics professor had a nifty gizmo he showed in class, it used the same effect ; heating dissimilar metals to generate voltage. it was a copper bar wrapped around a 3/4" thick 2" diameter steel disk. both ends had large (1.5^2")plates, (didn't get a close view) but since the copper wrapped about 350 degrees around the steel disk, when he hit the plate with a torch, he produced an electromagnet that held up 8kg and i've been searching the web to find it. when it cooled the weights fell.

This video was very well done. Excellent refresher too. Thanks very much for taking the time to explain the salient concepts.

this is really easy to understand because it has visual aid, straight forward and simple.. usually in a classroom, you only see letters and mathematical formula.. i think it lacks attraction..hence, students become bored and the understanding of the idea is lacking..or maybe they just care about exam and not practicality.. haha "better known as my basement" a good one..

very simple step by step, thank you.

how can we use transistors instead of copper-steel wires...? thanks in advance..
