What started as a test on an 8A digital buck converter, quickly changed direction and became messing about with a CPU heatsink, a peltier element and silly ice sculptures. But there's some serious science behind all this - the science of thermodynamics!

    can this thing can apply on processor (cpu) for cooling

    The peltier generator plus the hydrogen system is super mega efficient, through the burning of the hydro energy is powerfully fed a bank of batteries with the load actuators, fantastic.

    my 12706 peltier only draws 1A even if i connected to a 10A psu.

    Can one of these, possibly running of some used laptop power supply, keep a beverage can cold and at the ideal temperature ?

    Will the Peltier blow up at 75amp 12 Volt input? or would it work?

    Just a thought. Those peltier coolers can be turned into some fairly decent dehumidifiers with two heatsinks. Take that other large Dell monster you have there. That would work nicely on the condenser side. Then all you have to work out is how to sandwich the peltier between them securely and something to collect the water as it drips off. I've done it myself and those can pull over two gallons a day or up to four liters with heatsinks that size.

    One other thing the heat does, when you switch off the power, is actually producing power. The thermoelectric effect is reversible
