G+_Nick Vinckier Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Not sure if Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ and Bryan Burnett have ever dipped into thermoelectric power, but it would be awesome if they could come up with a DIY version of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Seen these a few times. You can not create nor destroy energy. That being said, you can recoup lost heat. (any need to boil your coffee; burning carbon based fuel; water for an hour+ just to charge a cellphone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Vinckier Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Eddie Foy Agreed, not efficient. Just interested in the science behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I did this in Episode 62 (or somewhere near there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Vinckier Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Awesome! I'll have to dip into the archives. Had a feeling this would have been covered already. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Marsh Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I thought the point of getting outdoors was to unplug from the digital world and plug in to nature? If I'm going camping, my cell will be charged but powered off, in the center console of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Vinckier Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Jason Marsh I totally agree, but isn't it awesome to know any possible way to power something that could help save you...if it came to that? I just dig the science behind it. Knowledge never hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
