$10 TEC; OVER 3 VOLTS DC BREIFLY AND 2.8VDC CONSTANT! (12PM)1.8Amps Peak Vs Solar Panels!

blog.recklessphilosophers.com One of the Top Sources on Google Claims this to be an (ave.) 1.5volt module… I have proved them otherwise. I have doubled it! Around 5 Watts, for Around 10$!!! I do not believe the Peak of the TEC can go much higher than this (Single Module) Without Causing Premature Damage to it. The Hot side was estimated between 160-200C and the cold side estimated about 20-30c. The sun was not at it’s peak (@12pm) and the hot side will not reach the top temperatures I have recorded earlier since the Freezing Pot helps cool the hot side also. (slightly) A 12v (5w) solar panel, goes for 35$USD on Amazon @ 1.98$/w. If I connect 2 or more of these in series, my watts (W) will go up. At 12v 1.8amps my wattage will be around 21.6w. That is at most 10 Tecs (at up to 3v each without suspected internal resistance, and/or other factors) totalling around 100$. A 20w 12v photovoltaic goes for between 100-150$USD. So pretty comparable. This video deals with the Peltier, Thomson and Seebeck effects, all science =)
