Jacquesl Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I want to build a Thermopile to generate usable electricity with a heat source, like a small fire or something, I can build something like this but, I only get 1 mA and an ant of a volt. And it subjected to 1700C blow torch, it sucks. So does anyone have some info about that, would be nice, to light a candle and then your able to watch a DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 look up RTG's. Yeah, they use a nuclear substance as a fuel but the way they convert the heat to electricity is what you want. just be sure to swap the heat source from radioactive stuff to a small fire or something, just to keep the feds off your back.
