Thermoelectric Turbine Demonstration

This demonstration is about the ability to create electricity from a difference in heat.

Instructions:

1. Boil water in a kettle on a hot plate.
2. Carefully pour hot water in a glass container.
3. Fill another glass container with ice, and add water.
4. Place the containers side by side (not touching), and place the thermoelectric turbine so that one fin is in the hot water and one fin is in the ice water.
5. Feel the wind from the turbine.

Safety Information: Do not touch the hot plate when it is hot. Use caution when pouring the hot water, wear safety goggles and use a glove to hold the glass. Do not let the two glass jars touch: the temperature difference may break the glass.

Location: Glass containers: Shelf U. Hot plate and kettle: Shelf M. Ice: Chemistry, see Jeanie. Thermoelectric turbine: Shelf M
