THERMOELECTRIC PHENOMENON

08/19/2007 4:13 AM

Where in the Net I could find data about thermoelectric phenomenon? I explain : About the voltage of electric current produced when we apply different temperatures on two dimetallic joints (connections) that are in the same circuit. Voltage related in temperature (in different dimetallic joints)

I live in CANADA

we have had these units for over 30 years.

we put propane in and get 13.6 volts out.

They run many radio and micowave remote tower sites.

This was before SOLAR power.

Good amp outputs.

Good LUCK

Also known as the Thompson effect. Basicly, if an electrical source is applied to a thermocouple junction the junction will either heat up or cool down, depending on the polarity of the source. Igloo Corp. makes such a thermocouple cooler/heater. It plugs into a 12v receptacle in your car and will drop the temperature in the cooler to about 40 deg F. I usually drop a bag of ice in it and it will last for days. As I recall it pulls about 6A and the only moving part is a little fan. Because a single junction does not get very cold, multiple junctions are used to create a "pile".

I'ts really cool (pun intended).
