[Max Weisel] recently created a Peltier-based cooling/heating system that fits into a backpack. The system uses two Peltier units, each running at 91.2 watts, with computer heat sinks mounted on ...

The build video (embedded below,) shows the basic construction and performance of a Peltier effect cooler setup. The system is used to create a layer of supersaturated (and cold) alcohol vapor in ...

With Peltier modules that draw heat away, a heatsink, and a Lego-powered fan, we’re building a gadget that cools drinks fast.

Neil Savage looks at thermoelectric coolers based on the Peltier effect that are designed for this task. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known as Peltier coolers, are semiconductor devices ...

“Thermoelectric devices are solid-state devices that operate on the principle of the Seebeck effect for power generation and on the Peltier effect for cooling operation,” explained the ...
