How to build a thermoelectric lamp

Step 13 Cut an aluminium patch for the peltier

Now cut a square of aluminium the same size as the peltier chip. Sand the patch with fine paper to remove the paint. Apply thermal compound (the same as in step 10) and gently place it over the peltier ready for step 14.

I replaced the steel and alu plate with a thick aluminium plate to help keep the temperature steady. See the extra photo's for how I made it.
