Exploring Practical Applications of the Seebeck Effect

CSEF · 2007 Electronics & Electromagnetics

Michael K. Benner · Colton High School, Colton, San Bernardino County

Overview

Objectives/Goals My goal was to create enough energy to charge a car battery utilizing the Seebeck effect. Methods/Materials I used copper and steel wire, ice water and a stove to produce electricity with this effect. Results The initial test produced an average of 1.45mV and the car frame model produced an average of 0.4mV. Conclusions/Discussion The concept did produce electricity but not in quantities to be practical in my applications.

Summary statement

This project examines electrical production using the Seebeck Effect.
