How do you keep a few sodas in your classroom cool? Well, if you are teacher [Ethan Hunt], you have your students design and build a solid-state mini refrigerator that can beat his prototype fridge.

The new fridges include a Peltier module that reduces big temperature fluctuations and conserves space. The new fridges include a Peltier module that reduces big temperature fluctuations and conserves ...

The Peltier chip (TEC chip) is a thermo-element that utilizes the Peltier effect to implement a heat pump. It has two plates — one cold and the other hot. Between the plates, there are several ...

We’re not exactly worried about Armageddon here at Hackaday, but should we end up facing the end of the world as we know it, having something to pass the time would be nice. That’s why we were ...

Peltier elements are thermoelectric components capable of pumping heat from one end of the device to the other end based on the direction of current. An advanced Peltier element comprises several ...

Coping with the heat generated by electronic components is a never‑ending problem. The era of the discrete transistor, promising low‑power circuit designs, has largely been superseded by ...

In Part 1, we did an overview of the general concept of the Peltier device. In this installment, we are going to continue the discussion around controlling the device and some initial packaging. For a ...
