Line is previewing a Peltier cooler at CES. It chills the air at the laptop intakes on the bottom. It has automatic thermostat-like control to avoid overcooling, too. It's not exactly portable; it's intended for a stationary setup. Expected pricing around $200-300 and shipping planned in October.
Is JWST taking advantage of the massive temperature differential on its hot(54° C)/cold (-200°C) sides with a thermoelectric (Seebeck) generator?
If not, was it considered?
(If this isn’t the right place to ask, please let me know.) TIA!

So I purchased a Tooca Thermoelectric Humidor with a capacity of 300 a little while ago.
I threw two 84% 320 gram Boveda packs in there and I have the temperature set to 65F. My Digital Hygrometer (Which is calibrated) showed that it would fluctuate between 84.3 and 84.8 RH which I believe to have been fine.
I let the two packs stay in there for exactly 14 days. I removed them and threw in two 65% 320 gram Boveda packs. I have not added a single stick in there yet and today is day 12 of the 14 days and my Hygrometer reports it staying in between 81 to 82ish RH.
I thought I had done everything right (obviously not). Any advice, tips would be greatly appreciated cause of as this moment I have no idea what my course of action should be 😞.
So I just got one of those Xbox mini fridges for Christmas and it uses thermoelectric cooling. I became curious about how it worked so I did some searching. What I found did not really explain it well.
Experimental study of thermoelectric assisted indirect evaporative cooling system Evaporative cooling is being used widely to improve the indoor conditions due to its energ.
I am running into trouble generating enough heat to utilize the Thermoelectric Boiler to its max capacity. The Fusion reactor is running at an injection rate of 98 mb/t and I have a thermodynamic conductor feeding the heat from the reactor to the boiler. I know the boiler can reach much higher temps, I just can't find anything online explaining this exact setup.
Here are some images of the setup as well
Anyone seen any good deals on one recently? Looking in the $80-150 range.
Solar panels can get really hot but the majority of them don’t have a way of capturing the heat and turning into electricity.
Would it even be worth it for a company to mount a series of TEGs to the base of solar panels to convert the heat of the solar panels to more electrical energy? You could route cold water from the pipes through a pump into a recycling cooling apparatus at the base to act as the “cold side” of generator.
I feel that this theoretically would work but I don’t have the engineering knowledge to back my idea.
I have this experiment/ project I'm trying out and in order for it to work I need to convert heat into energy, and when I researched it thermoelectricity became an option.
But I'm kinda broke and I have no idea how to put it together since I'm not an engineer myself.( In the future maybe though)
So could someone maybe give me some helpful advice?
I am working on how can I cool down or normalise interior temperature of cars parked in sun for too long as they get real hot. So I thought if this could be done by thermoelectric generators. I don't know if this would work or what would be the problems that would occur but I will explain my design intention of the project.
I would stack some thermoelectric generators and the cool side will be isolated in styrofoam at normal temperature and the hot side will get hot through the sunrays entering the car through window on dashboard. The voltage I would generate I expect is 12 volts, 6 volts of which will go in a single thermoelectric cooler whose hot side will be isolated in styrofoam and as the cool side gets cooler a 6 volts DC fan will start and circulate cool air inside the car from the cool side. I don't know if this would work or not.
