    The Peltier module actually doesn't work on heat alone but rather a thermal gradient. As long as one side is warmer or colder than the other, it'll generate electricity (goes without saying that a greater difference equals greater output) but basically what I did back when I was in middle school was just attach a bunch of heatsinks to the cold side and it created enough of a gradient to output 5V, however, the cost-to-benefit ratio would take a long time but hey, it works

    I've used Peltier plates a bit in school for an ISS related project to control water temps for growing food in space. We're definitely at the point of the components putting out enough heat that we can recover some energy back into the system. Haven't looked to see if you've already done this. I think the PSU part might be the most tricky piece of it. The much more efficient way would also be with a water cooling loop and water blocks instead, not with air and fans. You'd have to build a closed loop water cooling system which you know is a common thing in our computer enthusiast community. I just found your channel and man I really enjoy your videos!!!

    what you should be doing here is taking the first radiator out of the system. if you added a waterlocked to the heating side of the Peltier units and plumbed that into where your first radiator is, you'd get more efficient heat transfer and thus the opportunity to take more power from your setup. as it is right now, you are loosing a lot of your energy to the ambient air. you could even add a couple more of these modules onto that line to cool the pc better and collect more energy. in theory, you should be able to collect much more electricity since most of the energy the CPU is rated to consume is released as heat.

    yes that is possible, i actually tried a concept like this but with a cheap 20 dollar set of usb solar panels, i used solar panels to charge a set of 18650 lithium ion batteries in a usb charger which i then took and connected them to an energy inverter to turn the batteries DC Voltage into AC voltage and used this to power my pc, it ran for about 15 minutes before the battery died which was more than i was hoping for but less than i had planned out due to efficiency losses. When the energy was transferred from source to source it was loosing quite a bit of power along the way because of these losses, from the batteries to the inverter it is only about 75% efficient, then from the converter to the pc it was about 80% or so efficiency as my pc's power supply is 80+ rated, then from the pc power supply to the components there must be some other losses as well that i'm not sure about. Overall it was definitely a fun experiment as it was amazing that it was running on essentially nothing but sunlight but ultimately quite pointless when wall power exists and the batteries take 4 hours to charge.

    @@noisynixx this is barely additive- you get like 0.5W power at most but all you're doing is heating up the pc more by pushing in the hot air into PC again and also using that pump and all for the air will cost you more. It is just basic thermodynamics Also you can use a decently powerful GPU+CPU combo even when offgrid. I mean a lot of offgrid systems are easily capable of running 1kW+ of heaters so a gaming PC that can run 1080p/1440p very well can be arranged at under 300-400W so you will definitely not want to run the highest end stuff- but anything in between should work fine

    What if you watercool everything but not using water but some liquid with a low boiling temperature, so the coolant boils and turns a turbine? Maybe if boiling liquid is bad inside cooling blocks. You can use watercooling, and heat transfer to a low boiling point fluid, like a relay type thing. Pretty much 100% of electricy computers use turn to heat, and steam turbines are apparently up to 90% efficient, so in theory you could reduce electronics power usage to 10% of original?

Peltier elements are better at pumping heat from one side to the other side. They are mainly used for camping freezers or other coolers, but even there they are inefficient, because of the very low efficiency 🧅

    This is dangerous. It reminds me of the time I tried to make a water-powered personal computer. I didn't even have to plug it into the wall and it generated more than enough power to stay on as long as I had water. It was flawless. I decided to show my friends and they built similar rigs. They started to boast about it online which gained the attention of certain groups. My one friend with the largest following spread his build everywhere. One day, it all stopped. He disappeared. A week after his disappearance, he was found dead. Suicide. He had shot himself three times in the back of his head then drove out in the middle of the desert. Once he reached his destination, he lit himself on fire and stuffed himself inside his trunk. "What could possibly lead someone to do this to themself?" I thought. Then it all became clear to me. I figured that once he saw his power bill after using a computer that runs on water, he went utterly insane due to how low the cost was. I mean when I saw my bill for the first I went absolutely mad. After that, I had vowed to never touch a water-powered PC ever again. Homeless, I just want you to be careful. Maybe an expensive power bill is worth it.
