When electricity is applied to it, one end of it gets hot and the other gets cool.<br /><br />Not well known is that the opposite happens as well: if you apply heat to one end and cold to the other, it will generate an electric current. Not much, but probably as much as a bimetalic generator.Bytesmithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018952541985844547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575603731696062553.post-6037721322780995982013-03-16T12:04:51.518-05:002013-03-16T12:04:51.518-05:00Find a trashed thermo-electric cooler.
