Thermoelectric Generator Demo
Convert a temperature difference directly into electricity. Immerse 1 aluminum leg into a hot water bath and the other leg into a cold water bath. At least 10° temperature difference between the baths produces sufficient electricity to turn a turbine. Introduce students to thermodynamics, thermoelectric devices, and the Peltier-Seebeck effect. Unit is equipped with banana plugs and jacks. Includes instructions.
