Camping Wood Stove with Off Grid Thermoelectric Generator - M-Stove Project Part-7

I installed two thermoelectric elements that can be used stably even at a surface temperature of up to 250 degrees Celsius on the aluminum plate and connected them in series. And I installed computer CPU radiator and cooling fan for cooling. The higher the temperature difference between the elements, the higher the power can be produced.

I tried to generate power by installing thegeneration module vertically on the stove pipe. The voltage was lower than expected. I confirmed that the surface temperature of the stove pipe, which installed the first power module with a contact thermometer, was less than 100 degrees Celsius. So, the power generation module was installed at a lower level. The intensity of wood fires in the stove was increased and a cooling fan was operated to try to make a difference in temperature. Although it was possible to secure a voltage of up to 3.5 volts, it was far less than the target voltage of 6.5 volts for operating the system.

It should be devised to maintain a large temperature difference between the thermoelectric elements.

Thank you for watching.
Always be safe and have a fun camping.
Stay safe.

Disclaimer: Using a stove in a confined space can be very dangerous. When using a stove, be sure to ventilate properly and be prepared for fire or other safety accidents. I am not responsible for any loss or injury caused by carelessness.
