This is a Peltier cell. It consists of 2 ceramic wafers and many N and P type semiconductors between the wafers. When we apply an electric current to the cell, one side gets hot and the other side gets cold. This phenomenon is called the Peltier effect. If we change the direction of the current, what was the hot side becomes cold and the cold side becomes hot. The effect is generally used for cooling electronic parts.
Another interesting fact about the Peltier cell is, if we apply heat to one side of the cell, an electric current will flow as long as there’s a heat difference between the sides. This phenomenon is called the Seebeck effect.
Stove fans work without a battery or any other electric source because of the Seebeck effect. When we put a stove fan on a stove, one side of the Peltier cell gets hot and there’s a heat difference between the sides, which generates enough electricity to run the fan. As a result, the heat from the stove is spread more efficiently.

we have a stove fan and my mind was blown by the simple technology thank you for this explanation

so fascinating , never knew you could generate electricity directly by fire

Not by fire, by heat

great explanation. simple and direct.

I was doing a test for each solar module on a solar panel you put on the backside with this Peletier,only generated 0.7 volts under hot conditions I only used one Peltier for one module, so 0.7×24

You could use a Peltier cell to make electricity, so the fan could try to power istelf, after the stove heats up. Just mention me if that works :)

1:11 Wouldn't the Peltier chip rather be in the wide base at the bottom where the heat is?

If I was to use 2 of the cells what the big heat sank and a super-efficient fand I put black tape on the hot side and pointed at toward the sun. Could I charge a phone

There are 2 main problems, first, Thermoelectric Generators have max. 8% efficient in converting heat into electricity, and second, the greater the difference in temperature between the hot side and cold side, the greater the electrical power produced. For example if heat difference of hot side and cold side is around 10C, peltier will produce miliwatts. It will be too low to charge your phone. If you want to use sun as heat source, you need to set lots of peltier.

Does Mars rover uses this effect to Generate power?

@ScienceWorld1 9 ай бұрын

Nope, their source of electricity is radioactive decay of plutonium. We can use Seebeck effect to generate electricity if there is significant heat difference at the same time.

If I put it on the stove and it gets too hot, so that both sides of the cell are about the same temp, will it stop generating electricity?

@JerryMetal 8 ай бұрын

the cool side/top side of the stove device has a huge heatsink that radiates heat away from the cool side. But I bet if you would heat it up the fan would stop yeah

How come we dont use these to power most of our electronics on hot days?

@keithwelton 8 ай бұрын

There has to be a big difference in temperature between the base and the upper part for electricity to be produced. On a hot day the temperature would be fairly equal between the top and bottom of the fan, it needs a big difference in temperature to work.

Yeah, but HOW does the N and P semi-conductors generate power from temperature differential? You are only showing the result of the phenomenon, not the reason. Good grief!

@Godwin_100 7 күн бұрын

As a result of emission or movement of electrons from the N type semiconductor to the P type semiconductor
