Project Name : Thermo Electric Generator
Theme Name : Natural Resource & their Conservation
Objective/Aim:
To provide clean and cheap source of Energy
To use the waste heat thus reduce global warming
Scientific Principle Involved
See beck effect: When to junctions made from different material are kept at different temperatures, electricity is induced in the conductor.
Material used
Peltier Plate, A fan, A bulb
Working investigation/findings: This conductor is a peltier plate that is made up of P-N junction and is ceramic coated; we keep two junctions of plate at different temperatures and electricity at the output. The generator requires only temperature difference to operate. In our system, we have an option for keeping Ice a container and ignite a small flame below the peltier plate, due to this temperature difference, we are getting electricity at the output that could be increased by increasing the temperature difference between the hot and cold junction of Peltier Plate.
Utility and further scope of the project: This project is used to utilize waste heat generated from various household item, automobiles and even atmospheric temperature difference into electricity using latest technology of thermoelectric generation. The concept here is presented for rural areas to produced electricity from common household applications like candle operated table lamp.
Name of the School: Delhi Public School, Sector-40-C, Chandigarh.
