So a flexible peltier? I think peltiers are really interesting, they certainly aren't very efficient, but I'm excited that innovation is happening in that space. Heat pumps without moving parts will always be interesting to me.
- baybal2 7y agoEver checked out electrochemical heat pumps?
- deckar01 7y agoHeat pumps are more efficient than a compressor and are more effective than a radiator. You could power it with a solar panel to get power when you need cooling the most.
- iancmceachern 7y agoA compressor is a heat pump. Peltiers are much much less efficient than compressor driven heat pumps. Its why we don't really use them for much, but use compressor a/c and refrigeration for everything.
- londons_explore 7y agoPeltier units are used where compressors are too large or expensive. For example, those $20 in-car cool boxes.
