The Mountain King Returns

Atmospheric Tempurature Generator (Stone King)

I would like to hereby share construction instructions for the "Stone King" Atmospheric Temperature Generator. Images will augment the documentation.

To begin with, I used a thermally insulated container, approximately 4x4 inches in dimensions.

To this I added quick-setting concrete.

After the concrete had dried, I demarcated with a pen the approximate dimensions of the additions to be placed upon it.

Next, I added a thermal pad, which I adhered to the top of the concrete with thermal glue.

On top of that I added 4 low-temperature-differential Thermoelectric Peltier Cells.

I then added one more thermal pad of the requisite dimensions.

And to finish the device's layers, I added 4 heat sinks, of the same dimensions as the Peltier Cells.

Around the entire device I added thermal tape.

Finally, I added DC ports to the tips of the wires, and used Y-Adapters to connect all of them to one singular DC output plug.

And that completes the entire device. When taken from one temperature environment to another, I measured a slight voltage differential across the electrodes.

So is this enough electricity generation to justify the prototype's cost? Probably not. Nor is this the optimal way to construct one of these devices. But it is somewhere to start from. And I would invite anyone reading this who has their own ideas of how to further optimize the Atmospheric Temperature Generator to feel more than free to improve upon its design.
