Follow Up - 204 Millivolts - Only 4 Degrees Potential

3 years ago

I received some messages from people that have had issues with building thermoelectric generators and reaching optimal voltages.

I can produce 200 millivolts using a total temperature potential of 32 degrees C on one side and 28 degrees C on the other... only 4 degrees C.

Cooling is more important than heating. These chips will operate down to -5C, leaving you to input only 45C from a heat source to achieve 12 volts.

The heat introduced must be equal to the heat removed, the temperature difference must be 50 - 60 C from one side to another and with these 12706 modules must be kept under 80 C in total to avoid damage.
