What is a liquid, gas, gel, (substance) etc. that cools when it meets electric current? Thank you all for the help.
Thank you very much for your reply...Borek said:I don't think it is possible. At least not the way you describe it. Passing current in general heats things up, not cools them down. Theoretically speaking passing current could trigger some highly endothermic reaction, but the effect will be most likely irreversible - that is, you will be able to do it just once. It could be possible to "recharge" the system (something similar in principle to thiosulfate hand warmers), but I can't think of any substance that will behave the way you need even irreversibly, not to mention the latter case..
I had never ever hear of a Peltier element... I'm reading up on it right now and this might be what I'm looking for! Thank you and I'll keep you posted.DrDu said:Did you consider to use a Peltier element?
Thanks Borek... Reading up on Peltier element is making me re-envision what I'm trying to accomplish and gave me an idea of how to implement it... Thank you all!Borek said:Just remember Peltier element is cold on one side, but hot on the other. Your initial description suggested you want something that gets cold as a whole.
When working with chemicals, it is important to always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Make sure to read and follow all instructions and warning labels on the chemicals. Work in a well-ventilated area and never mix chemicals unless specifically instructed to do so. In case of accidental contact with chemicals, always have an emergency eyewash and shower nearby.
Proper disposal of chemical waste is crucial for the safety of the environment and those around you. First, check the label or safety data sheet for specific instructions on disposal. If there are no instructions, follow your local regulations for chemical waste disposal. In general, chemical waste should be placed in a sealed container and taken to a designated hazardous waste facility.
It is not recommended to substitute one chemical for another without proper knowledge and understanding of their properties. Chemicals can have different reactions and effects, so it is important to follow the specific instructions and use the recommended chemicals for a DIY project.
Chemicals should be stored in a designated storage area that is secure, well-ventilated, and away from any heat sources or direct sunlight. Make sure to keep chemicals in their original containers with the labels intact. It is also important to keep incompatible chemicals separate from each other to prevent potential reactions.
If you accidentally ingest a chemical, immediately rinse your mouth with water and seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a medical professional. It is important to always read and follow all safety precautions when working with chemicals to prevent accidental ingestion.
