Step 1:
Begin by placing the cans face to face (notice yellow
labels). Center the thermoelectric generator on one of the
cans so that you can position and stick the hook & look
strips to the cans.
|
|
Step 2:
Apply thermal grease like pictured so that when you sandwich the
thermoelectric generator between the two cans, it will have
thermal grease on both sides.

Step 3:
Connect the propeller to the motor shaft.
|
|
Step 4:
Cut a small piece of the hook strip to place on the side
(opposite side of thermoelectric generator) of the "COLD" can.
Cut another small piece of the loop strip to place behind the
motor. |
|
Step 5:
Remove the motor with propeller so that you can put the tie
strap around the two cans to secure them with less difficulty.
|
|
Step 6:
Connect black motor wire with black thermoelectric generator
wire. Connect red motor wire with red thermoelectric generator
wire.
|
|
Step 7:
Pour in your cold water to fill up 75% of the "Cold" can and
then pour hot water to fill up 75% of the "Hot" can.
|
|
Obtain Data:
Since the thermoelectric generator works from temperature
differentials, measure
the temperature of both hot and cold liquids and see at which
temperatures the propeller will start and then stop spinning .
It may take a few minutes so record the time as well.
