Materials-And-Methods TEG MODULE POT MOUNT ELECTRICITY GENERATOR SIP
This section provides the specific procedures and techniques used to assemble
the parts and tools needed for this research. It includes the process and system made by
the researcher in achieving the desired outcome of product. The electricity is produced
Materials
The materials used in the experiment are 2 Heatsinks, System fan, TEG module,
and Battery place holder. An organized and clean workplace is needed to avoid any
hazards that increases the risk of accident. Parts are assembled using several electronic
equipment.
Procedure
Assembly of parts
Identify which is the cold and hot side of the TEG module.
Attach the first heat sink to the hot side of the TEG Module using thermal
The second heat sink, assisted by a fan, were attached to the opposite side also
with a thermal conductive paste, keeping the other side of the module ventilated
Connect the battery holder to the appropriate connections on the battery charger
In the last step, solder the battery charger to the output of the DC-DC converter.
Preparation of container
For the upper part, the material used is copper for effective direct heat conductivity.
Then wood for the lower part and insulator for heat and electricity.
The container follow the model shape and pattern for the holder of parts. The
used to know the capability of the product to charge a mobile phone. To achieve a full
state of charging a Lithium-Ion Battery of Mobile phones, 4.2V is the least standard supply
of voltage. The time span of attaining a fully-charged mobile battery from the product and
converts waste heat directly into electrical energy using the Seebeck effect. This
phenomenon was discovered by Thomas Johann Seebeck in the 1800s. The Seebeck
substances. When heat is applied to one of the two conductors or semiconductors, heated
electrons flow toward the cooler one. If the pair is connected through an electrical circuit,
direct current (DC) flows through that circuit. The voltages produced by Seebeck effect
are small, usually only a few microvolts (millionths of a volt) per kelvin of temperature
difference at the junction. If the temperature difference is large enough, some Seebeck-
effect devices can produce a few millivolts (thousandths of a volt). The Seebeck effect is
responsible for the behavior of thermocouples, which are used to approximately measure
temperature differences or to actuate electronic switches that can turn large systems on
and off. This capability is employed in thermoelectric cooling technology. Commonly used
waste heat whilst the other side is cooled creating a temperature difference. Heat
energizes the semiconductors which in their turn create a positive and negative electron
