Well, it's called the Peltier Seeback Effect.as for my imagination, might be good to heat my aquarium heater system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peltier-Seebeck_effect Using a proper semiconductor plate and voltage converter (quite easily found) you can turn waste heat into power. |

at best maybe you'd save 2 sen an hour. Power is cheap lah, so don't worry, my quad core rig with 4gb, an X2900XT, a soundcard, a 680i mobo and 4 HDDs, a few fans and a WC system only eat 250 watts on idle. On load it consumes 400. So people buying giant 1kw PSUs is definitely a waste ler.
Around 50 ringgit to run on load 24/7. Mixed load about 35 bucks 24/7. Turned off when not needed about 20. The only reason you'd wanna reclaim such power is 2 fold. 1) To cool down the system 2) To use that excess power to run extras (fans, drivebays.....ect) |
