Exposing a FAKE Thermoelectric Generator and building a REAL one! Tom: with your rebuild of his project, I would suggest that you could increase your efficiency a whole lot by getting the candle closer to the flame, surrounding the pencil holder with aluminum foil and operating it in winter time with colder air passing by the top fins.
Also for the one you made, spread out the modules so there is more heat sink per module and use a bigger heat sink

How much thermal energy a candle contains? 42. 0 kJ per gram?
How much thermal energy the candle releases thru the time (power?
(Final mass - Initial mass)42000 / Final time - initial time?
What is the energy conversion efficiency (thermal to eletric) of a peltier element? 10%?
Just some questions for the viewers.
Great video!

it is a simple calculation
how much energy can such a tealight give off. a commercially available tealight has a heating output of 20-30w. but that means the whole tealight over a burning time of 24 hours. well, I doubt it very much that you can charge a cell phone, operate an LED and a fan. especially not at the same time

You could have used Silicone Sealant for water proofing and joining glass and metal plates at 7: 21. I have seen glass aquariums made with silicone joint only with large capacities. Neat and clean solution.

You always get 5 volts with those cells, more or less. You had to put them in parallel. Also, since they work both ways, you also need diodes to avoid dangerous outcomes like voltage reversal.

Hello. the current is small, I agree, but in samsung for charging, you need to short-circuit data + & data- to determine the charge controller in the phone itself. hello from Ukraine

Could You possibly use running water from a river or stream and a fire from a campfire to run this? Sound like a really good way to use the system
reply

I found that if you hook three together the two out side ones feed the in side one and robs you of power 2 works best. needs diodes between them.

Fixing hot plate at 50 degrees and the heat sink, which thermoelectric module would produce more power: TEC1-12702, TEC1-12706 or TEC1-12710?

Its not good on power outage beacuse you need to have a electric fan which run on electirity beacuse no power on power outage
