Did you know that the discovery of the Peltier Effect led to the invention of the refrigerator? Add a current to semiconductive material and one junction is heated while the other is cooled. A Peltier device transfers heat from one side to the other, making it useful for thermoelectric cooling in electronic equipment and computers. Use the inexpensive device to demonstrate the Peltier effect as well as the Seebeck and Thomson effects.
