π§±π§± The Units: the video shows the 4 different designs I experimented with. several types of peltier module chips were tested and used including the 12706, the 27145 and the 12715. the final design I settled on produces power similar to the output power of "dry cell" batteries (i.e. AA, AAA, C and D cell batteries). the unit produces up to 6 volts (in 1.5v increments) and is capable of running all types of items including radios, lights, clocks, fans and most 5 volt "usb powered" items. it can also be used to charge the 3.7v batteries that are common in many of the electronic devices that we use today.
π₯ π₯ The Fuels: many different types of fuels can be used to power this unit including vegetable oil, olive oil, crisco shortening, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol fuel, glass candles, votive candles or tealights etc. also included is footage of how to make the tuna can "oil burners". (plus, how to use those for cooking if needed.) ...also, get a look at what's inside a peltier chip!
details: bricks are 2"x4"x8" flat stone bricks. copper is 24 gauge 99.9% pure and highly polished. heat sinks are 200mm x 69mm x 36mm. best peltiers to use for this project are the 12706 followed by the 27145.

I use Dollar Store all cotton mop heads for wicks.

That's cool. Robert Murray-Smith did a video that he used some sort of mineral in a pellet for or something shaped like BB's that get hot when you pour water on them and the coolest thing is they are not consumed so they will last forever I guess and you won't have to keep buying oil or tea light candles.

I like seeing the process even if it doesnβt work as planned at first. Thank you :)

So, you perhaps could charge a usb battery bank? That would be great!

Every time you cook, I start craving breakfast. Have you ever had framed eggs? Some people call them snake eyes or something like that. You butter both sides of the bread, cut a circle in the bread, and cook your egg in the hole you made. The cut out parts are so good dipped in the yolk

Would love to see this done outside, and couple your cold side to the ground. Not as dangerous, burning things you wouldn't burn indoors is an option, and some places you don't want the heat from the flames... just the electricity. Also, I am curious about what kind of heat it takes to heat up the ground... I've done some reading, talked it out with A.I., but didn't conclude anything. It would have to be settled with experiment I guess. Just rebar in the ground and see what kind of btu's you can dump before temps rise beyond TEC safe levels. As it is, good job comparing different tec modules... something that hasn't been covered well on youtube. I have seen some comparisons in white papers iirc.

use beeswax, they last very long, but smaller flame size look into crystal battery, they're pretty much the wild wild west of peltier device, meaning they operate like the peltier device but since no scientist or science has gone much into experimenting with it only tinkerers or other home experimenters delve into it and there is a lot of evidence showing they can output much higher voltage and amp when heated but still requires a lot of experimentation this is the key for the future of non-moving electric heat generators. keep it up brother.

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Shalom Aleichem Brother this was good sharing QUESTION have you ever tried charging a 12-volt battery with this method ???
-
Can you make those work with the Sun?
-
Try a water cooled heat sink, water is better than air cooling.
