2. Introduction:
A Thermodynamic Charger Is A
Heat By-project of all energy
conversion projects,
Whether if it is converting fuel into
energy Or energy Into Work.
3. Chapter I:
Loss of energy of Waste Heat from the
Thermodynamic Charger Has Been Costing
Billions Of Dollars To Lots Of Industries
Every Year (ENER-G-ROTORS,2016).
Increasing Global Populations,Climate
Change,Dwindling Supplies Of Fossil Fuels
and increased reliance on electrical power
are factors driving the increased need to
implement renewable and clean energy.
4. Chapter II:
Many Household Appliances/Systems Produce
Waste Heat which can be Reclaimed and used
for Practical Purposes. A Thermodynamic
generator (TEG) Can be used as a portable
power generator which harnesses Waste Heat
(From Appliances Such As Wood/Pellet Stoves)
And produce electrical energy Which Can Be
Stored In A Lithium Battery. This System Could
Be Used As A Portable Power Source For
charging a mobile phone or a similar lithium
battery powered device.
5. Chapter III:
Parts And Tools Of The Thermodynamic Charger.
Parts:
1:Heatsinks x 2 (Copper)
2:TEG Module
3:Electric Fan
4:Dc-Dc Converter
5:Lithium Charger/Protector
6:Lithium Battery
7:Battery Holder
7. Chapter IIII:
ASSEMBLY
TEG
Check Where The Cold/Hot Sides Are Using A
Heat Gun And Measure The Voltage Coming
From The TEG.
Now Mount The TEG Between The Heat sinks.
(Don’t Forget To a Little bit of Heat paste
Between, And Tighten Up the TEG.)
Now Test It With The Heat gun To See If Its Still
Operational.
8. Lithium Charger:
Connect All The Parts For
The Battery Charger.
Connect The Battery To
The Correct Connections
On The Battery Charger
Board.
(DON’T PLUG THE
BATTERY YET WHILE
SOLDERING EVERYTHING!)
9. The Next Step Is To Connect The Dc-Dc Converter
To The TEG.
But To Do That We Need To Set The Voltage on The
Dc-Dc Converter To a stable power Supply Between
2-5v and Adjust The Pot While At The Same Time
Measuring The Voltage At The Output With Your
Multimeter. If The Voltage is Set You Can Solder It
To The TEG And The fan. To Test It Out Just heat Up
The Hot Side Of Your Build. The Fan Should Spin
After <2 minutes.
Now Solder The Battery Charger To The 5v output of
the Dc-Dc Converter. After A While A Red Led
Should Light Up Meaning The Battery Is Charging.
10. Chapter IIIII:
Practical Applications Of Thermoelectric
Generators are limited by then inefficiency of
the modules and cost of the materials used. The
power (Watts) Produced By The TEG is
dependent on The Amount Of heat Flux which
can move through the module,the temperature
difference between the hot and cold sides.
(TecTeg,2016) High Efficiency Thermoelectric
(TE) Materials need to be Good Electrical
Conductors and Poor Thermal Conductors in
order to maintain a high heat Differential And
eliminate The backflow of heat.
11. Because Of Conflicting
Material Characteristics
Researchers Have Been
unable to produce A
Thermoelectric material
with high enough
efficiencies for many
practical applications.
