"What is this Peltier Effect thing that some fridges use for cooling?", is a question that Richard asked. The Peltier Effect is just the Thermocouple Effect working backwards. Suppose you get a wire ...

How do you keep a few sodas in your classroom cool? Well, if you are teacher [Ethan Hunt], you have your students design and build a solid-state mini refrigerator that can beat his prototype fridge.

Batteries are usually studied via electrical properties like voltage and current, but new research suggests that observing how heat flows in conjunction with electricity can give important insights ...

You need the Real Audio player to hear this which you can download for free. If it still doesn't work try this link. "What is this Peltier Effect thing that some ...

The researchers studied how electric current created heat flows in a lithium-ion battery cell. The heat flowed opposite to electric current, resulting in a higher temperature on the side where current ...

WITH further reference to the suggestions of Mr. Campbell Swinton and Sir Oliver Lodge contained in NATURE of March 10 and 17 that the Peltier effect may disappear at a very low temperature, this ...

Applying a temperature gradient and a charge current to an electrical conductor leads to the release and absorbtion of heat. This is called the Thomson effect. In a first, NIMS and AIST have directly ...
