Temperature disproportion in between air as well as objects can beget sufficient electric energy to stagger a motor. Objects:cold reusable refrigerant pack, prohibited onigiri(rice ball), as well as comfortable hands. we have disclosed a pattern that is published upon Jan. 25, 2008 from Eleki-Jack repository in Japan: www.eleki-jack.com where dual peltier elements have been used.

Come see my channel, a TEG has much more Potential than a TEC… I have some videos to show the difference
#2 by luc59457 on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
No, Efficiency is not quite 10%… But if you look into it’s potential, it could make great competition with solar panels.

how much voltage of Peltier module your are using?
#5 by Anothercoilgun on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
In the beginning it looks like a gravity drive. Place some weight on the peltier and the motor is powered FOREVER!

Try connecting the power directly to the motor instead of the cpu. You should have better results. lol

How work this system? How genrate electricity from the temperature?
#8 by ryansleis on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
Sir it looks really interesting!!! What type of thermoelectric did you use? how much wattage? Can I get easily from ebay?

thermocouples as been known about for quite some time, The old Voyager space probes use Radio-isotope Thermo-electric generators (RTG’s), they have a heat sink outside and a super critical radioactive element inside and they have powerd the space craft for decades. The problem is that thermocouples are usually very inefficient, Although I do think wider use of them to recover energy from otherwise totaly wasted head would be very useful.

That’s awesome, I’ve never even seen a generator that works like that until now.
Thanks for the video.

well i am not good with things like this but frist thing i think when i seen this is wheres the fan at thats making it move blow air over it wouold make the motter move
#12 by Alexvideoclip on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
efficiency is only %10 – %10

That’s the whole concept of a thermoelectric power generator, to generate electricity directly from a temperature difference. Just like a photovoltaic cell that creates electricity directly from sunlight, a thermoelectric power generator creates electricity from plain heat.

I think a sterling peltier device could provide usable current, even if it just supported a local lighting circuit. On a large scale, I envision two units, together with a chemical circuit for a heat sink, to support a microutility.

Looks like a Scythe NINJA.

thermionic converters and thermophotovoltaics convert heat directly into electricity.
A temperature differential is always going to be needed for a couple reasons.
First, if you are converting some heat into electricity then the side gaining the electricity will have lost heat, It has to be asymetric, or there won’t be any useful voltage.
second, the temperatures at which thermionics and thermal emission occur are very high, and temperature has to be reduced for materials and you and i.
#17 by crazyhugs on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
what heat sink is that?
#18 by NamelessFTW on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
requires a temperature differential… would be nice if someone could figure out how to just turn plain heat into electricity.
#19 by blackXSpr on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
Thats not what im talking about at all, thanks for your time though
#20 by qwertypenis on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
If your talking using the water as an energy storage system like for use on a solar system at night. This would work to a limited extent but you won’t be able to make much power because your temperature differential will have to be less than 100 degrees. This is what’s known as ‘low grade heat’ and billions of kilowatts of it go to waste every year because its not deemed economical to extract the energy.
#21 by blackXSpr on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
But other heat sources require constant heating. I am not talking about a lone stirling engine, but perhaps a series of them, in which case the peltier modules from each could drive a water pump for all of them and the problem with stirling engines now is the heat transfer to the engine cant be constant, but with water it could be. The water would be drawn from a huge container, which could be so much as flame or solar heated, nothing too complicated.
#22 by qwertypenis on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
Well you neglected to mention your energy source which is really most important part. If possible it would be better to apply your heat source directly to the Stirling engine. Using water as a transfer medium will only introduce extra inefficiencies.
#23 by blackXSpr on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
I just designed (roughly) a stirling engine that uses water piping and a peltier module.
The problem with stirling engines is keeping the temperature difference existent, as normally heat would conduct to the cold part the same object. What I did is created a piping, channeling hot water to the hot cylinder and cold water to the cold cylinder, they meet seperate from the stirling engine at a peltier module, which powers the water pump.
Is this not a relatively self-sufficent design?

wow it’s free energy hahahaha
#25 by librapig on August 27, 2009 - 1:30 am
nice work, Im very interested, could you display the design, or maybe send to my e-mail?
