| dc.description.abstract | Availability of electricity in remote areas such as forests and mountains is always doubtful
because of various inconveniences caused by both the location and the atmosphere. The use of
unconventional methods such as solar panels and generators when electricity is not reachable
through transmission lines always clashes with nature in areas like dense forest areas, and noise
or air pollution due to the generators in these areas, so a suitable solution is needed. A device
running on solid state devices like a Peltier module can be handy as there is no need for solar
rays, and it can provide noiseless energy as per the need with very little use of sources and with
less or zero effect on nature. These elements work on the Seebeck effect, in which the difference
between two dissimilar electrical conductors or semiconductors produces a voltage difference
between the two substances. Peltier modules can run on the latent heat generated by the
candles or campfires, and on the other side heat sink or chilled water/ice can be used for heat
dissipation. By providing heating on one side and cooling on the other side, a temperature
difference is created, which plays an important role in voltage generation. Generated voltages
can be high or low depending on the needs of the user and the number of connected Peltier
modules, but they can be controlled and stabilized with the help of DC choppers. | en_US |
