https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8 Post your group's idea for using a TEG in a home or other location (ex. school building) en-us 2021-01-21 18:08:28 UTC 2025-10-24 16:48:32 UTC hello@padlet.com sbarber994 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111507237 I would put a TEG in my fire place to charge a load of batteries. These batteries would then provide power if the power was to go out. You can also use a TEG to power the fan in your kitchen that pulls out the cooking smells. If you place the probe where the heat rises it will become very hot and the kitchen fan will cool the other side so that there can be a flow of electricity.]]> 2021-01-21 18:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111507237 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111508199 mmmm]]> 2021-01-21 18:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111508199 zharders8772 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111508830 ~I would use it as a heat source to warm up the house.
~ I COULD use it as a source to charge electronics in my house because the TEG converts heat into electrical energy.
~ I could also use it as both. Like a fireplace & a charging port.]]> 2021-01-21 18:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111508830 bthomsen642 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111508867 I would put the TEG in the oven because of the heat the oven uses to cook food. it would be a good source of thermal energy and from that thermal energy it can be distributed to other parts of the house. it can especially be used once the oven is cooling down once it is turned off after it has just been on.]]> 2021-01-21 18:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111508867 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111510192 This method of using a TEG would only work in the summer time due to the heat from the sun, but I think an idea would be to hook the TEG up under the cement roads and allow the heat conducted to turn into electricity and be used throughout the houses.

Both of those places are a good source of heat and by positioning the other end somewhere else, it would create a temperature difference allowing electricity to be made. This electricity can be used to charge batteries or phones.]]> 2021-01-21 18:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111510425 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111510875 Maybe in an automobile since there is a lot of exhaust gas that way the heat energy will not be wasted. Also an emergency power system if I where to have a power outage. ]]> 2021-01-21 18:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111510875 ssands752 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111512735 We would put it in an oven so it could use the heat to charge things like batterys or electronics ]]> 2021-01-21 18:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111512735 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111517731 I would put it in the oven so it would charge the batteries of any electronic in my area.
It can even charge a flashlight when the power runs out. when the heat probe gets the prime source of heat, it will be able to convert the heat into electricity.]]> 2021-01-21 18:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111517731 swoods548 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111519418 Depending on what season it is, I would either place it outside or inside. If it was summer time I would place it outside to collect the heat from the sun. If it was winter I would put it next to the fire place. I would then use the energy to power kitchen appliances so I'd be able to use a fridge or oven to cook.]]> 2021-01-21 18:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111519418 rphillips529 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/c1hxckjqlxspnvr8/wish/1111519503 I would put the TEG in both of my fire place so I can charge batteries
