Device converts
thermal energy to
electrical energy and vice versa, via the Seebeck effect.
Immerse the metal plates in two different temperature baths. Unit
will
generate 10mV/degree temperature difference. Show this with a
multimeter
or use it to run a small fan.
To show the reverse
effect, connect jacks
to
a low voltage power supply and plates will become different
temperatures.
NOTES
Provide a beaker full of boiling water and a beaker of ice water.
