TEC1-12704 12VDC 2.5A 30 Watt Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler Plate
Also known as the Magic Plate, this cooler uses Peltier effect that can generate electricity! Essentially when you apply power to one side, it will heat up and the other side will cool down. If you create a differential system you could essentially generate electricity but not enough to charge your phone…
Typically the side with the Product number is the cold plate and the other side is the warm plate. You can test this by applying 1.5v from a AA battery on the leads for 5-10 seconds and feel the plate.
We recommend placing a heatsink on the hot side to optimal performance.
