The grande finale to the Peltier device.

On April 17th we presented our lab to the hot dog cooker (solar parabola) group. The group responded well and reacted as if they understood which was a great sign. We ran into some minor issues with opening the graphing program- excel, however these things are expected when operating on relics of computers. So, the computer situation slowed us down but did not effect the results. The results were true to what was expected:

On April 24th we were paired with the solar parabola group once again. This time around the group was flying solo with the presentation. We saved some paper- GREEN- by setting the group up with our lab handout via the internet. Yes, we saved some paper. And it worked quite well, although we had to set the group up with cups of water and help to build the overall peltier device, the group was once again successful. The results were on point- and the outcome was nothing of a surprise.Of course the computer situation was rather frustrating- none the less, it was a success.

Final overview: The Peliter device was simply built and simply utilized. The group was able to really construct a vision of how the device could be used as a sustainable construction. We certainly grasped the fact that-if the device were larger and “more in charge”- it could be potentially expensive. With some help from Tom Vales we were able to push our device into motion and feel comfortable with how it worked. Alas, we understand how such a little invention could make a difference with sustainability.
