In today's video I'm going to show you how to build an effective dehumidifier to decrease the humidity in the air. Here's all the parts needed:
-Computer fan (www.ebay.com/it...)
-Large heat sink (www.ebay.com/it...)
-Small heat sink (www.ebay.com/it...)
-Peltier chip (thermoelectric cooler) (www.ebay.com/it...)
-Heat sink compound (www.ebay.com/it...)
-Scrap material, such as foam.
-12V battery (www.ebay.com/it...)
All these parts can be found on Ebay for under 30$! You will also need some tools:
-Hot glue
-Solder station
-Knife
-Pliers
-Screwdriver + screws
Becuase of the limited number of parts it goes together quite easily. Begin with attaching the fan to the larger heat sink using screws. A computer fan will have a red, black and yellow wire, cut of the yellow using a plier.
Your next step is to place the peltier chip between the large and small heat sink. Use the heat sink compound on both sides of the peltier chip and sandwich the device between the two. In order to keep the peltier under constant pressure (this is to ensure it keeps good contact witht he two surfaces) use screws to connect the two heat sinks. This will also reassure that the peltier stays in the same place.
Take your scrap piece of foam and cut long enough legs for it to lift from the ground. You may want to use wood instead of foam to increase durability.
At this point you will have two wires from the fan, and two wires from the peltier chip. It's now time to test if our dehumidifier works. Check the rotation of the fan, the air should be pushed downwards.
