Thermoelectric generator
The sensitive part of this item consists of a Peltier cell. It is in contact on one side with a small aluminium wing to be immersed in hot water, on the other side with a small basin to be filled with ice and cold water. Due to the Seebeck effect, the difference in temperature produces a difference in potential that is noticeable at the terminals, this difference can make a small electric motor work: applying a difference in potential to the terminals (max 12V), due to Peltier effect, a great difference in temperature is set between the two faces of the ceramic block.
