Home-casting Thermoelectric Alloys
If you want to convert heat into electrical power, it’s hard to find a simpler method than a thermoelectric generator. The Seebeck effect means that the junction of two dissimilar conductors will produce a voltage potential when heated, but the same effect also applies to certain alloys, even without a junction. [Simplifier] has been trying to find the best maker-friendly thermoelectric alloys, and recently shared the results of some extensive experimentation.
The experiments investigated a variety of bismuth alloys, and tried to determine the effects of adding lead, antimony, tin, and zinc. [Simplifier] mixed together each alloy in an electric furnace, cast it into a cylindrical mold, machined the resulting rod to a uniform length, and used tin-bismuth solder to connect each end to a brass electrode. To test each composition, one end of the cylinder was cooled with ice while the other was held in boiling water, then resistance was measured under this known temperature gradient. According to the Wiedemann-Franz law, this was enough information to approximate the metal’s thermal conductivity.
Armed with the necessary data, [Simplifier] was able to calculate each alloy’s thermoelectric efficiency coefficient. The results showed some useful information: antimony is a useful additive at about 5% by weight, tin and lead created relatively good thermoelectric materials with opposite polarities, and zinc was useful only to improve the mechanical properties at the expense of efficiency. Even in the best case, the thermoelectric efficiency didn’t exceed 6.9%, which is nonetheless quite respectable for a homemade material.
This project is a great deal more accessible for an amateur than previous thermoelectric material research we’ve covered, and a bit more efficient than another home project we’ve seen. If you just want to get straight to power generation, check out this project.

uhhh
i have just noticed this laptop's shell is slightly curved
and it causes inconsistent backlight (very noticeable in photos, less so irl)
is this normal or should i pursue RMA
Sorry, I couldn't process this image.

The image shows a Lenovo laptop lying on a wooden table. The laptop is positioned with its side facing the camera, allowing a clear view of its ports. From left to right, the ports visible are an HDMI port, a USB-C port, and a headphone jack. The Lenovo logo is visible on the top left corner of the laptop's lid. The background is slightly blurred, showing a conference room setting with a table and some office equipment. The lighting is soft, suggesting natural light coming from a window.

The image shows a laptop screen displaying the Google homepage. The screen is open to a web browser with the URL "google.com/webhp?hl=ru" visible in the address bar. The Google logo is prominently displayed in its characteristic colors: blue, red, yellow, and green. Below the logo, there is a search bar with a microphone icon on the right, indicating voice search functionality. The text "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" are visible beneath the search bar. The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with links to "About," "Advertising," "Business," and "How Search works." The laptop is placed on a wooden surface, and the background suggests an indoor setting with tables and chairs, possibly a café or a library. The time displayed in the bottom right corner is 5:17 PM.

I like this new feature on the Mastodon web-based front-end application — where, when you look at the someone else's profile, Mastodon shows you (some of the people) who follows this account that you also follow.
Although, I wish there was way that I could see the complete list of people — rather than just 2 or 3 people.
