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: www.eleki-jack.com where two peltier elements are used. This video has no sound.

efficiency is only %10 – %10
(
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
That’s awesome, I’ve never even seen a generator that works like that until now.
Thanks for the video.
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.
Sir it looks really interesting!!! What type of thermoelectric did you use? how much wattage? Can I get easily from ebay?
How work this system? How genrate electricity from the temperature?
Try connecting the power directly to the motor instead of the cpu. You should have better results. lol
In the beginning it looks like a gravity drive. Place some weight on the peltier and the motor is powered FOREVER!
how much voltage of Peltier module your are using?
Thermoelectric Cooler
No, Efficiency is not quite 10%… But if you look into it’s potential, it could make great competition with solar panels.
Come see my channel, a TEG has much more Potential than a TEC… I have some videos to show the difference
*Temperature difference …
same principel as the stirling motor…:)
nice concept tho…:D
Peace!

wheres the fucking audio
Fascinating! Someone should scale this up.
Do we really need audio to tell what’s happening here?
Some powerful people wouldn’t like it
Sweet. So the cooler object causes the motor to rotate counter-clockwise and the warmer objects (riceball and hand) causes clockwise rotation (reversed polarity). Sweet as. This stuff is used on deepspace probes I think. They put all this around a plutonium reactor or somthing. They should put these all over the exhaust system of hybrid vehicles to help charge up the batteries.
crap I wish i could know japanese…
nice video dude
Thank you for sharing this!
What if the fan flow was ducted to the heat dissipator only, the temp diferential would be higher… nice work!
@FireBirdsGo The problem is the amount of energy available is proportional to the size of the generator and the amount of temperature difference between the hot and cold ends.
To power a laptop computer you would need a unit the size of a mattress and far more temp difference than your hand and the ambient air temp. It would be very expensive.
@BiDaDiKuNuKu Actually no. Stirling engines use the changing volume of a gas when you heat and cool it, and devices like this use the flow of electrons between dissimilar metals when heated or cooled.

what if u put the heatsink inside of a white isolated plastic or metal bowl facing down and make a hole in the top where only the surface of the thermoelectric thing gets through so that you can mount a black piece of metal on it, put it outside and that way make some alternative solar energy?
