Thermoelectric power generator

Temperature difference between air and objects can generate enough electric power to rotate a motor.
Objects:cold reusable refrigerant pack, hot onigiri(rice ball), and warm hands.
I have disclosed the design which is published on Jan. 25, 2008 from Eleki-Jack magazine in Japan:

where two peltier elements are used.

@cxaxnxexs looks like an old Scythe design. Scythe Ninja to be exact.

also, i am very curious, who manufactured your heat sink?

[cxaxnxexs]

very space efficient design. I am in the process of developing something similar. I am having trouble navigating the website since it is in Japanese & google translator is not very good... It would be a huge help to me, could you please provide some specs on your design (power output, temperature difference, TEG model, etc.)? An interesting experiment would be to see if a fan would "pay for itself" (in terms of power & overall power density) by using it to cool the TEGs.

Is possible but the peltier will not last long.

@heartlessvietboy I did not just type @, that is what youtube auto puts in when you hit the reply button, which is what I did. It does look like people see it.

What if you use two peltier. Connecting two hot side with a heat sink in between. Powered by a series of rechargeable battery with switching mode. You use batteries one at a time for your lights and the petlier to charge other batteries. You have infinite source of energy

one could use the electicity created by tec and sunpanel to charge ups >that powers house lights with 12v led`s

@heartlessvietboy Termoelectric silicon junctions that produce current when one side of the peltier is heated and the other side cooled. Ice and warm hands works.
