    Step 2: To start you Will take the cans and cut the lips off the top, so they can fit on top of each other. Then I cut three slits equally spaced apart. I also you Will need to pokesome holes in the sides to allow air flow.

    Step 3: I tested mine out and found that I needed more holes so hooked some in the top. Before you continue be sure light the candle to see if it goes out. If it does then you willneed to poke more holes. This step is all about trial and error.

    Step 4: In this step we will build the circuit. Just follow the scamatic and you should be fine. Other wise, I added the pictures of me building the circuit. Use them for referencewhen building it.

    Step 5: next I took my heat resistant epoxy and glued the cooler to the top can. I recommend placing something on top to prevent it from falling off as it sets over night.

    Step 6: this step is pretty simple, I trimmed down the circuit board.

    Step 7: To finish is simple, light the candle, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. If it didn't start charging right away then give it a moment becuase it takes time to heat up.Thanks for viewing, and don't forget to vote.

    rkrishnan7 says: Mar 17, 2015. 6:44 AM REPLYGret 'ible! I like the neat fabrication. I have just one question - Thermoelectrics are well known for outrageous inefficiency and I came curious if you evermeasured how many candles and how long it would take to charge a typical phone battery?

    If you can make a compact, light folding version that can be carried in a backpack it may be a handy on a camping trip if only to inject sufficient charge topush out an emergency call. But then, a hand cranked generator (or even better a spare battery) might be more compact and lighter.

    The thermodynamic laws of nature put up a fight, don't they! :)

    That said, it would still be very useful to experiment with the design just to see how far you can push up the efficiency.

    Johenix says: Mar 14, 2015. 5:20 PM REPLYEpoxy a third cat food can on top of the Peltier Siebek Device to be filled with water to cool the junction and make the device more efficient.

    JohnC20 says: Mar 14, 2015. 8:28 PM REPLYA standard CPU heatsink will do the trick too.

    Liam.great98 says: Mar 17, 2015. 6:19 AM REPLYHow would one go about adding more peltier plates with more candles? Ccould you simply attach them in parallel?

    Olek410 says: Mar 13, 2015. 3:56 PM REPLYDo you know what would be a great idea is that if NASA used this concept. Because the heat from the rocket engines goes to waste but what if they could beused to charge the batteries used to power the craft. There is a downside to this; you would need a industrial version of this and it would initially be a bitheavy. Hey one question what is the rate of heat per second to watts per second produced. Because this could revolutionize renewable power as we know it.

    anv says: Mar 17, 2015. 5:18 AM REPLYBe sure of the NASA people knows this effect very well. It is uses in many space ships and robots. BUT, remember that the rocket engines wastes it'sfuel after a few minutes of work. And in this minutes, the energy is not a problem. The energy is a problem after months in the space, specially when theship goes far from the sun and the solar panels can't generate enough energy.

    Olek410 says: Mar 13, 2015. 4:02 PM REPLYJust saying if you will want to present this idea or use this idea you will need to give me credit for the idea.

    selimsms says: Mar 17, 2015. 4:39 AM REPLYI made a circuit like this, it will work, this can use every regulator circuit, you can use different sensonrs.

    eugen.wilhelm.102 says: Mar 17, 2015. 4:30 AM REPLYWOW! Great Idea!

    Have you measured the power? How much mA you get out of it?

    polabb says: Mar 16, 2015. 5:45 AM REPLYThis is a good concept. Make sure you update the electrical diagram to match your Thermoelectric(Peltier--Seebeck) Device and voltage regulator, then thecapacitor polarity with the USB connector or connector of your choice.

    Adding a heat sink or a third box on the cool side of the Thermoelectric(Peltier--Seebeck) Device will improve efficiency.

    Babybg says: Mar 15, 2015. 1:24 PM REPLYThat's awesome

    lowpro says: Mar 14, 2015. 3:53 PM REPLYCool! Could use a better schematic/wiring diagram.

    Skwurlito says: Mar 14, 2015. 11:55 AM REPLYThat's amazing

    p mishra says: Mar 14, 2015. 5:34 AM REPLYwow brilliant !

    WYN soldier says: Mar 13, 2015. 8:10 PM REPLYJust like kipkay

    oldbarnes says: Mar 13, 2015. 7:59 PM REPLYi figured out the piece, its the diode. Where is that connected at? I dont see it in your schematic.

    oldbarnes says: Mar 13, 2015. 7:51 PM REPLYIn Step 4: can you add a picture of the backside of your breadboard. I understand all of the pictures but the last three. the third picture from end looks to havesomething else in it that I cannot figure out.

    WYN soldier says: Mar 13, 2015. 4:26 PM REPLYYeah what voltage does the peltier generates before regulation ?

    wannabemadsci says: Feb 21, 2015. 9:13 PM REPLYNice and compact peltier electrical power generator. I like your approach.

    Does the heat resistant epoxy hold up well? I was wondering with the epoxy rated 450F and a candle flame about 2,600F it seems like you would need sometype of mechanical fastener/mount to keep the peltier in place.

    I second the comment by gravityisweak about adding a heat sink on the cool side to improve performance. I think it would help tremendously.

    gravityisweak says: Feb 13, 2015. 6:49 AM REPLYIf you have a heatsink from an old computer, you should be able to stick it to the top with some thermal paste for an increase in power. In theory it will giveyou a bigger differential between the hot/cold sides of your peltier.

    Shayon Khaled says: Feb 11, 2015. 1:04 AM REPLYSeems like the heat to power concept got popular. Everybodys are making projects with them :P
