Product Description
Thermoelectric Demonstrator Block
This thermoelectric demonstrator is an educational instrument to show that:
-
Heat energy can be converted to electrical energy
-
Electrical energy (electricity) can be used for heating or cooling.
The instrument consists of a Peltier module mounted on an Aluminum heatsink (for dispersing heat) as well as a switch, a DC motor with propeller, and two sockets (Red = Positive and Black = Negative).
Heat-to-Electricity Conversion: When the switch is set to the Seebeck effect, the device efficiently converts heat energy into electrical energy. Place the demonstrator on a flat surface and position a beaker of hot water on the thermoelectric module. As heat is applied, electricity is generated, driving a DC motor with a propeller that spins.
Heating and Cooling: Switching to the Peltier effect mode transforms the thermoelectric generator into a heat pump. One side becomes hot, while the other becomes cold. The direction of the heat pump can be altered by changing the direction of electricity flow. You can use a DC generator or a battery pack with a maximum of 8 volts to power this part of the experiment. This versatile device allows you to either heat up the water in a beaker or cool it down, similar to a refrigerator.
