peltier heat pump, turns hot or cold, into electricity !

[nitinnun]

my intuition says,
to use the peltier heat pump,
to turn heat from ANOTHER device, into electricity.

such as from a friction heater.
or from a polarized air heater.

or even to stockpile temperature from some natural force.
like stockpiling water in a huge dam.



on top of that, you could harvest electricity from many small devices,
with many small peltiers.

which would likely be much more efficient,
than using one large device and one large peltier.

yes all really good ideas but try this one make your home heating baseboard heaters electric producers they will still heat your home but you can get your electric at the same time augment the cost of running that furnace .

Convert it back to heat with IR leds, or using a sterling cycle engine to produce motion.
