Low Voltage from Heat?


Neily

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Ive been advised that the Peltier probably wouldnt be effective due to its low voltage output, so have been told to look into using a battery with some kind of thermal sensor connected to a 555 timer???

 

I have no idea where to look!!

 

Help!!

It would depend on the peltier's size the type used in 12v coolers puts out enough to run a small 12v motor (such as the one that is in the cooler to cool the hot side of the peltier). I bought a small cheapy cooler a few years back for $12 new...couldn't resist the temptation to see how ti worked....tore it apart and I've been playing with the guts ever since......lots o fun!
