Customized Peltier Module as Thermostat Electric Generator

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

People cannot live without electricity. Electricity has been around the time since we were born that can electrify different kinds of materials that need electricity. It has made people all around the world finish a day with a very great smile. Electricity is a convenient and controllable form of energy that we use every day to power up our appliances, providing light and cool our homes. Electricity is a secondary energy source, meaning it is generated from the conversion of primary sources of energy, such as fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), nuclear power and renewable sources (wind, hydro, solar, geothermal).

METHODS

The procedure are as follows: Prepare all the materials, such as Peltier module, plastic container, and heat sink prepared together with the other materials such as dynamo, wires, propeller, and etc., Assemble the dynamo and wires, then create a small cube using the plastic containers and paste the half of the hydropower at the cut container. Create a hole and insert the tube, Use an electrical tape for the connection of two cut wires and pour the cold water inside the cube and put the beaker with the hot water on the bottom, then wait until it works.

RESULTS

The results were used to describe the potential of Customized Peltier Module as Thermostat Electric Generator in terms of lifespan, voltage, temperature, and volume of water. Results showed that Trial 1 of TC1 (90°C of hot water and 5°C of cold water) has the longest lifespan among the three trials.

DISCUSSIONS

The study revealed that Customized Peltier Module as Thermostat Electric Generator has the potential to electrify the 6V DC Motor using 90oC and 5oC, 70oC and 10oC, 50oC and 15oC of water.
