PG-1 Thermoelectric Power Generator

This self-contained device is ideal for demonstrating the Seebeck effect of thermoelectric power generation for the scientist, educator, inventor, or hobbyist. The PG-1 comes fully assembled with everything you need to begin your own thermoelectric power plant. Apply heat using a canned fuel or some other heat source to begin generating electricity.Thermoelectric power generation is made possible by creating a temperature difference across the thermoelectric module inside the unit. Heat flows from the higher temperature surface to the lower temperature surface creating an electrical potential. When the electrical circuit is completed, electrons flow and electrical power is produced. Tellurex has designed the PG-1 to power its fan and maintain the temperature difference with power to spare. The net output of approximately 0.75 Watt is adjustable from 3 to 14 VDC by means of a built-in voltage converter, making application of this device extremely flexible. Charge batteries, power your handheld game or phone, power LEDs or music devices, or run fans. Any small DC device in your imagination can be powered off the grid!
