Visit http://www.tegpower.com/ We would like to introduce you to our newest product, the TEG Power Brick.
We developed this thermoelectric generator for use on rocket stoves or other bio-fuel stoves in third world countries to provide long term power and reliable battery charging. We specifically designed it first to be inexpensive and also so it can be molded in to a rocket stove when constructed or easily attached to existing ones. However, the TEG Power Brick is very versatile and easily adapted for other uses as you will see in this video.

  • How many amps does it make though? we need t know volts plus amps

  • Thank you for showing the amperes, to many people do not show the other half of the wattage equation.

  • its a peltier module with a julie thief circuit.?

  • Very impressive!Just wondering if it is possible to build your own MODULES as opposed to purchasing them? With the joepipe technology I'm able to generate substantial heat using a standard 1.5 x 16 inch iron pipe inserted with multiple 1/8th x 8 "copper thermo-coupler leads using the cold side of the pipe as the ref. junction for the iron.Kind of a crude module of sorts? Hope to build it in the couple of weeks. Temp. difference on either side of the swirl device is ambient vs. 2, 000F.Curious?

  • @willholl69

    not possible to seperate. They use the junction to get hot or cold across and that is what makes the power. for best performance, sheilding the cold side as much as possible from the heat is best. make the cold contact just the size of the contact area and put reflective material around the cold block so no radiant energy gets to it and do the same with cooling lines and just have the cycling water in the contact zone with the tank and pump in an insulared container furthur away.

  • dude just get like 3 of these and you gat free energy dude its always been free

  • is there any way to get it up to 24v

  • I see them working well in the exhaust flues of gas or oil boilers, furnaces and water heaters. They maybe could provide enough electricity to runs the fans and controls.

  • great job ;)

    Can you reveal the size of the Peltier used?

    I have some 62x62 mm, but i can't get more than 1,5 to 2 amps / 1,5- 2 volts out from them.

    I have 'killed' 8 pcs because of to much head from my stove :(

    thanks

  • You had mentioned the fact that the system works off of a far amount of heat is it possible to build a unit to run a car? Useing trash as a possible fuel? How big would it have to be? An educated guess is more than enough. Would it be possible to build a unit big enough to run an electric based car, no internal cumbustion?

  • Can you physically separate the cold sink from the heat plate?

    This question is similar to hippyraverocker, who seem to have a similar thought.
