Solar Thermoelectric Air Conditioner & other Thermoelectric Architectural Applications. Tube. Duration : 2.43 Mins.

As presented in GE Ecomagination Challenge 2010... Title of Idea: Solar Thermoelectric Air Conditioner & other Thermoelectric Architectural Applications. "If every construction square meter exposed to sunlight daily could harvest heat energy transforming it directly into electricity, all future architecture would be self -- powered by Sun... This may be achieved manipulating thermoelectric Seebeck properties of some emergent materials and key breakthrough technologies"... Ernesto Ocampo Ruiz, September 2010. What this is about: This project is about impelling R&D towards the use and designing of new Thermoelectric Building Materials in all Modern architecture & Cities for energy harvesting from Sun, working with SEEBECK effect. The Solar Thermoelectric Air Conditioner is just a first phase experiment into characterizing pros and cons of this thermoelectric property in order to design in the near future practical, efficient and fully operational SEEBECK effect architectural components for buildings.. Summary of Idea: Build a solid state, fully self - powered by Sun system based on Seebeck & Peltier thermoelectric effects for cooling and ventilation within architectural spaces by harvesting sunlight and directly transforming its heat energy into cold air, pushing research & development of future thermoelectric architectural applications that the World needs.
