In this video we will have a closer look at a fake thermoelectric generator and find out exactly why it can not charge up a smartphone like advertised. While doing so, you will learn quite a bit about Peltier modules. Afterwards I will then show you how to create a real thermoelectric generator that can charge up a smartphone through the power of tea lights and ice water. Let's get started!
