Peltier Generating More Watts Than A Solar Panel

Mr Malgarini


Zeolite


some years back member Alaskastar had some thoughts on Zeolite ,  members here did some testing on other thoughts he had but came up on the wrong side [no gain]


we never got to the Zeolite Claim,as I recall it was  Zeolites ability to turn [absorb] a gas and turn it into liquid and then a small charge would empty the zeolite  [solid state compressor ??]


will look again for that information .


I do hope Chris H is doing well in Alaska [I think I owe him a cheeseburger or a few Bucs from another open source  venture...will have to look him up .


Thanks for the Drawing ...and the reboot on Zeolite and its possibilities


respectfully
Chet K

Example data sheet (these 2-4% thermal efficiency devices were produced a decade or more ago)
http://www.analogtechnologies.com/document/TEG.pdf
As shown at the top of the chart, these were optimized to run on 100-degree temp difference.
The data in the chart changes when using a different temperature difference.
Or the same temperature difference, but with different absolute temperatures
An expanded data sheet can be requested from the supplier.
However, it is reccomended to choose a device optimized for your actual temperatures.


Solar ovens and other similar thermal collection devices operate between 190-325 degrees F
that's 88 - 162 C which is in the range of many available TEGs


The biggest concern will be controlling the temperature of the cold side.
Heat sinks or fans, liquid coolin, etc.
