no. turn it off when the motor turns off. obviously. thats what solar cells are for!!! also could be used for a getto air con!!! lol. no compressor needed!!! also, it isnt good to touch a peltier, since you get stuck to it and burns like hell. when its on ofcourse.

kain

but seriously. there arent any flaws regaurding the peltier and the while setup. now with the electrical is what is the problem. thoses things need allot of watts. all togeather probobly like 1k watts. just two 550 watt computer power supplies, and another battary, and a couple ac/dc 300 watt converters. probobly 3 would work best. lol.

kain

hm... the hot side of the peltiers is a problem. hm... thats where water cooling comes in i guess.

yesd0g

from what ive read, those things suck a lot of current, and youll need a few of them to do any good.

Dr.Boost

So the power supply is the downfall? That sucks. Don't they make those with 12vDC feeds so you wouldn't need an inverter? Also, if you are worried about the water in the intake, you could use this to just cool the water in an air/water intercooler. You could keep the water ice cold at all times and never have to worry about water in your intake. Sounds cool. Hopefully someone will try this out soon?

it would freeze the water and pop goes the intercooler.

Dr.Boost

No ----? It gets that cold? Hmmmm...maybe if you put it in an icebox type setup an ran some charge pipes through it? I'm just thinking of a way to not introduce water into the cylinders even though it is minimal.

thats the whole point. yes it gets that cold. thats my whole point. did you read my top post?? its basically an ice box, with a bunch of heat sinks. they will freeze, and all the surfaces of the heatsink with have frost. now air will pass trhrough this, and collect the forst, or the cold air, and go into your intake. blamo, -50 degree air into your motor.

Dr.Boost

Uh, yeah why? You said nothing about it being too cold to put it in water. You also said that you knew how to rig a thermostatic switch to turn it on and off at certain temperatures. I figured you could have it turn off before the water reaches it's freezing point. You could use anti-freeze so it doesn't freeze as fast also.

no, depending on how hot something is. thats what i ment. so the hotter something is, the more voltage, and visa versa. but it wouldnt completely shut it off. also, actually putting it in would be weird, since one side would boil, and one side would freeze.

i wouldnt put it in the water. i would use some alchahol in the water just so as not to make it freeze. just think. frosty beer while street racing. lol. wait. bad idea.
