The Generation of Electrical Energy from an Overheated Phone Using Peltier Tiles

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

We are trying to find out alternative ways of producing electricity and we found out that heat coming from our own body can be used or heat coming from any source can be harnessed and converted into electricity using Peltier tiles.

METHODS

The following materials were obtained from an online shop to do our prototype. First, we planned on how to make our prototype with our consultant. Second, we tried the Peltier tiles on how much it can handle the heat so we left it outside the house where it can be heated and we also heated it in a fire stove. Then, after a few hours passed we tried to measure the electricity converted to know on how much was converted if it can be used on a phone. Third, we constructed the prototype with the help of our consultant with the given data we have gathered after our experimentation. Lastly, we have tried to used it on an overheating phone to know if the heat coming from the phone can be converted to electricity and also to find out if it will have a defect on the phone being charge. Then with the given results we have come up with the conclusion to make our study prove that it can be used on a phone.

RESULTS

The Results revealed that the heat coming from the phone can convert heat into electricity and boost the charging status of the phone. The Peltier tile which used to convert the heat into electricity did not show any problems when it was used on a phone. It will also help the phone cool down because of the cooling system inside the Peltier tile.

DISCUSSIONS

Many of the cellphone users agreed that our invention helped them when they were playing. It helped them charge their phone because it converts the heat of the phone into electrical energy and there were no side effects while charging the phones using the converted energy and the charging status was much faster than before. The only problem is that this invention is only recommended for those who play games or whose phone overheat much faster like Asus.
