Discuss The Seebeck Effect.... in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Yes Increasing the temperature increases the thermoelectric junction voltage, however it is in the mV range. (0.2-1mV/K)What I can't seem to get any information on is, 'does increasing the heat cause more electricity, if so what are the temperature ratings of the chromel & Alumel' wires?
Thanks Julie,Yes Increasing the temperature increases the thermoelectric junction voltage, however it is in the mV range. (0.2-1mV/K)
It is basically how thermocouples work, they are very reliable, and accurate for temperature measurement.
Not very efficient in generating voltage, and small current though.
May be better off capturing the gas and using that....Thanks Julie,
It was whilst I was studying thermocouples that has guided me down this path.
I have this hairbrained idea about using heat produced by compost, but I've got to research the ingredients for the compost which produces a constant heat all year around without having to turn it to often.
All without causing some kind of explosion!
Easy, just reverse the power flow and one get hot, the other coolBuy a cheap peltier device and experiment with that (this has many PN junctions) , the trouble is keeping one side hot and the other cool .
