A Peltier cell uses thermal gradients to produce small amounts of energy.
A box has been developed so that a peltier cell can be adapted to a water line.
There will be two types of tests, the first we will use a heater that is already inside the box to heat the material that is inside the box. Next we see how much energy it produces.
The second and the most realistic test is to put the box exposed to the sun, and use the sun to heat the material inside the box. Next we see how much energy it produces.
Inside the box will be thermally insulated (cork) to avoid heat loss from the liquid.
The most important test is when we leave the box exposed to the sun, lid of the box will be magnifying glasses so that the sun hitting the magnifying glasses will heat the box and the material inside (liquid that absorbs heat well).
Underneath it will be a pipeline with cold water passing.
The peltier cell is fitted between the box and the water pipeline, and this temperature difference that occurs in the two phases of the peltier cell (top hot, bottom cold) is thus possible to produce small amounts of energy.
