Peltier Cooling

kidflame · 30-October-03, 10:38 PM

Does anyone know where I can find out how to make my own peltier system? Like not having to buy a peltier to make the peltier cooling system? [ I just want to get some ideas offa it, cause no way in hell am I trusting something I make that goes near electronics ]

And does anyone have any feedback on what kinda performance pros and cons there are to putting a peltier to a hard drive to cool it down?

Thanks

You want to know how to make the rest of the system minus the pelt? I'm confused on what you're asking. And also, do you plan on cooling it via air or water?

For HDD cooling:
Pros: none
Cons: too many to waste your time even thinking about it.

just the opposite. just the peltier itself. and thanks for fdbk on the hdd cooling!

You want to make your own peltier?
To the best of my knowledge no one has made a DIY peltier yet simply because it takes resouces not available to the common man....and because they are relatively cheap so it wouldn't even be worth the time and effort doing so.

EDIT---Sorry wrong link.

Nope. thats the peltier system... im looking for the plain ol peltier heat xfer thing.

Here is everything you ever wanted to know about peltiers:

As you can see, it would be very hard to make one of these yourself, not to mention finding someone who sells the other, smaller components that go into a pelt, finding the machinery to produce one, and the physics involved. It simply isn't a feasible idea.

Oh. Hrm. Thanks anyways then.
