We've already heard about hoses that get wrapped around existing hot water pipes, using heat radiated from the pipe to heat water inside the hose. A new wrap-around device, however, uses that same pipe-heat to generate electricity.
Unleash the power of heat! Discover how to build your own DIY Thermoelectric Generator for portable power. Turn waste heat into electricity!
Thermoelectric Power Generation (TEG): These videos document my first attempts at generating electricity from a thermoelectric peltier device in 2012. The TEG that I used is a high powered unit able to withstand high temperatures and specially made for electricity generation. In terms of…
Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) is a semiconductor-based electronic component working on Peltier Effect, that works as a small refrigerator or heat pump depending upon application. When DC&nb…
Published on Nov 29, 2012 What is a Thermoelectric Module? Living off the grid. In 1821, T. J. Seebeck discovered that different metals, known as a thermocouple, will develop a micro-…
If fire wasn't the first thing invented, it was probably the second. The human race has had a long relationship with fire, and now you can use it to charge your smartphone, GPS, or anything else that you can connect to this thermoelectric generator using a USB cable.
Nyle Steiner of SparkBangBuzz never fails to impress with his old-fashioned hand-on approach to electronics. Whether he's improvising memristors from bits of junk he picked up off the ground, building audio oscillators using blobs of zinc instead of transistors or tubes, or whipping up an atmospheric-nitrogen laser using a few scraps of aluminum and a power supply, Nyle's projects always serve to remind me that electronics is about much, much more than just soldering together components that came out of a factory somewhere.
The novel design is flexible, lightweight, and completely biodegradable, suggesting its potential for developing scalable, renewable energy…
How to Build a Bicycle Generator: Using a few easily accessible parts, you can make a bicycle generator that can power various electronic appliances, such as laptops and batteries! Materials needed: Bicycle Stand Bicycle frame 24V DC scooter motor DC-DC battery charger A car …
