Micro Thermal Power Station on Peltier Elements
I want to share with you a simple product that can be useful, on a pond, on nature or just when the light turns off.
But let's start over.
You saw the video clip when the authors lit the LED from one finger battery
And if you replace the battery with Peltier 12706?
Supplies
Sorry for bad English, all from the materials below
Electricity
if, one element produces an average of 0.76 volts, multiplied by four, we get a little more than three volts. I picked up a radiator so that four elements fit on it, put a tank on them and poured hot water. LED lit up
in a box with radio junk, i found an increasing Chinese module operating that 2 volts to 28 volts. If the voltage from the elements rose to three volts and lit the LED, then my find can easily give out 12 volts, and this will allow the use of LED lamp 12 volts
Heating
Everything turned out, it remained to find a compact source of heat. After all, all efforts are in vain if the heating is carried out using a fire, sun, boiling water and even candles. In 1984, to heat my hands on winter fishing, I purchased a catalytic heater. It heats up quickly and radiates heat for up to three to four hours. Moreover, the body of the heater is heated so that without a special bag in which the heater should be located, serious burns can be received.
Assembly
I checked it out and it's time to put it together. The problem is such, the size should be such that it is relatively miniature, as well as convenient to transport.
From an aluminum three millimeter plate, two heat-aligning plates were sawn, for the dimensions of two Peltier 40x80 mm elements. They grasp, the body of the heater below the filling cover. Tightened with screws through wooden supports, thermoplastic corrects the geometry of the housing. It turned out to be quite a tough .
Parameters
I twist the hanging terminals of the thermoelements in series, connect the step-up converter and the LED light bulb. I inject a portion of gasoline with a syringe and start the heater with a lighter. The light emitting diodes begin at 1.76-177 volts and at 1.93 volts they fully enter the operating mode. Heating temperature of the heater is about 66.6 degrees
Night
I tried to use the lamp in the dark, I liked it
Let's Finish
Having finished with the tests, I decided to give the project a more, less decent look. The wires and the booster converter were embedded in the case, wrapped with plastic and installed the lamp on the side. I thought to twist the handle from the other side, but changed my mind, it will increase the size. The insulation was sewn from the material and got rid of the dispersion of the generated heat into the atmosphere. When the open metal of the heater completely insulated, the temperature reached 89 degrees.
That's all I wanted to tell .
Can Be Tried
Yes, for those who want to twist the idea, I offer a video that is not included in the video.
In this experiment, we wanted to use air forced cooling of the radiator to increase power. But alas, the increased power due to the fan was absorbed by him, and even with great subsidence. The lamp-free cooler works. And my project required lighting,
