A recent study1 by Dr. Fabian Garmroudi and a team of international researchers opens the door for one of the most ...

QUT researchers have identified a new material which could be used as a flexible semiconductor in wearable devices by using a ...

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 ...

The running gear for this build is nothing fancy; it’s just a standard thermoelectric cooling module and a fan. The trick was getting the airflow over the module right. [Ben] uses two air inlets ...

Researchers have created a prototype that can be fitted into tailpipes of cars, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles ...

The maximum efficiency of a thermoelectric material for both power generation and cooling is determined by its figure of merit (zT): For the past 40 years, thermoelectric generators have reliably ...

Experienced astrophotographers will not outgrow this astrocam. The Altair 26C is perfect for photographing beautiful nebulas ...

Recent advancements in solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs ... voltage and current outputs across multiple heating and cooling cycles under varying solar intensities. Moreover, the CBC-TEG ...

The other side of the Peltier needs to have a heat sink to keep it cooler than the hot side, and [bongodrummer] chose an unconventional bit of salvage for the job — the cylinder of a chainsaw ...

A group of researchers from South Africa's Central University of Technology has designed a solar module integrating a cooling system relying on a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). TECs can convert heat ...
