Peltier Generating More Watts Than A Solar Panel

[blueplanet]

My main purpose here is not to argue about the Chinese peltier products. I have experience of using 50W peltier elements.

In EU, there are many funded research projects on solar thermal power. The world has already spent enough money on optoelectronic research. Perhaps, we should take a look on the thermal energy from the Sun. Gd is most likely an element of research interest.

Yes

Glad you were paying attention .....[or were you??

Of course.

Can you link to the products you have tested

BTW
I could not agree more , investigations of Thermal energy resources .....and Phase change being a big interest here [for me personally...very low temp phase change discoveries

a few years back I happened upon a DOW chemical test of a very low temp Phase change fluid [80F]

this type of fluid material could change everything ,but it was not open source .

EDIT
I see the links below will look tonight or later [busy in the shop ATM]

Thank you sooo much !!

The 50w Peiter elements I used to use in my former research project were purchased from Russia.
I will post back if I find it.

PS. 1) One thing you need to be very careful when experimenting Peiter elements.  When a Peiter element has worked for too long, the ohmic effects of whole element will heat up. You need a good cooling mechanism to achieve a real power generation.

2) The Russian seller was not very cooperative. I paid the money and they delivered to goods to me after half a year.

I agree. We need to keep an eye on the latest technologies. That's where the solution lies.
