Hi Rick,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have seen many videos with thermoelectric elements being able to produce electricity, so i was wondering if enough elements could be used to charge 10kw of batteries, like thermoelectric power plant…
Many thanks

Greetings,
The device functions as a heat pump; it doesn’t produce energy so much as move it from one place to another.
This post discusses the specifications for this type of device in some detail.

I would like to ask if I understand this correctly.
When it comes to thermoelectric modules of this sort, if one’s asking the question the answer is almost always “no.” It’s a tricky subject to pick up on if one hasn’t taken a thermodynamics course or two.
Beyond that, the devices are so horribly, awfully, wretchedly inefficient that a people who don’t take time to run the numbers are almost always disappointed with the results of a “try it and see” design approach.
