Dear Experts,
I like to check with you, is there a minimum temperature for a peltier thermal couple to start generating electricity?
I tried putting a peltier on a stove which i was using to cook some food. There is no fire on the stove but its very hot.
I place the hot side of the couple on top of the stove heating element. the other side facing up has nothing on it.
I measured the current and there is none and the cold side of the couple also began to become very hot.
So, even though the hot side is hot, the cold side also becomes as hot.
So, there is no electricity flow.
But i see on the net some videos where bunsen flame is targeted on the hot side and the cold side is left alone and there is electricity flow.
So, i just like to check if the cold side is at room temperature, and the hot side is heated to several hundred degrees, will electricity flow?
Thank you for reading.
regards
