    Hi.

    interesting, but how much power does it consume, remember peltiers.

    regards

    John.

    When I read the title I thought it was a joke :eek:

    Would be nice if they put a lot of that inside a laptop cooler, huh? :p

    Yea, but you'd need to be plugged into some sort of generator system (solar hopefully), cause they don't run on air too... :p

    I don't think it is going to have the power consumptions of a peltier, but I could be wrong. That is a good point though. The actual website for the cooler says it has low power consumption, but it doesn't say what it is.

    I have contacted the people working on this for more information as something like this would be really beneficial to where I work. If I get any interesting details that I can share, I'll post here. :)
