CAN I REVERSE IT???can i mount it on my WOOD STOVE and when it gets HOT (VERY HOT) will it generate ELECTRICITY???thank you

you can reverse the power but there only good for heating or cooling. if you want something for power generation Google thermoelectric generator unfortunately these modules are not sufficient for that

it will not generate any significant amount of power and the heat of a wood stove would destroy it

Yes, it will produce electricity, but if you don't do your research on heat sinks and efficiency you will have a dead piece of electronics or very little electricity. You really need a TEG rather than a peltier.

If you do not exceed limits (each module has a heat/cool limit): Yes (Seebeck effect). The larger the temp difference per side the higher the voltage/current up to the maximum watts. For a wood stove, get the highest wattage possible, but remember the maximum heat limits and use heat sinks. If you cannot limit the maximum temp, think Stirling Engine.

I think you should be able to. I did mine on the stove and it worked great.

it was for me I want to run it in reverse at a low speed in the winter to circulate the heat from my fireplace and furnace,works great every room gets warm now,great product,hope this helps.

I expect this would not be used without a pot on it. I am puzzled why you ask. Will this be on a camp stove? I understand the purpose is only for pots not without magnetic affect. I did find it had a hot spot in center. Might consider that for a thin pot.

Do not reverse the connections. If you do, you will most likely burn up the solar cell unit.

I'm not a professional, however this fan generates off heat, there's no electric parts. My stove can get up to 4-500 degrees and this little fan sits on top and will run as long as the heat is on. Hope this helps!

NO!!! Not a good thing, it would damage your machine. You need either a converter or and electrician, neither are cheap. Suggest you return it if you have the option and purchase a 120volt unit, or sell it and do the same.

I dont think so. Its carberated. You would have to convert it. Mine runs great off gas. Quiet and powers everything. I hook it to the house. Can run any and everthing i want no restriction.

I think he is asking if this is a grid tie inverter... its not... find a GRID TIE inverter for backfeeding power company's. this is for when you dont have power and you need to run a fridge or something with motors... or new electronic chargers.... not for lighting... not for heating... you can do those things with mod wave and save a buck.... if u need heat get propane... wood... or an ass load of batterys and a far better inverter...

I think it would cause the wire grid at the bottom of the stove to overheat and bend. Even using wood as fuel causes some distortion of the grid.

I believe you can use electricity. I use mine on a small gas burner on my island for a hot pot. I absolutely love it!

Not flippable - the knobs and switches are hard-wired to the board, and the board inserts into the housing via slots which are at the bottom only - also the heat sinks are screwed into the housing through the bottom. You could mount it upside down...? I would.

I have no idea if it would work on your stove, but I do know I would never advise any one to buy it. It was so complicated I had to hire an electricion at $98/hr. to hook it up and then we found out it was defective.

It was a gift for my son. He says to fill it remove the top. It does get hot but not too hot on his stove. He has a gas stove. It would probably get pretty hot on a wood stove. Just use a pot holder. He loves his and has used it several years now.

It is not meant for a wood stove. It is meant to be used as a heat sink via a cold liquid medium. However, it is made of stainless steel and steel does not melt until well over 1000° F.

Is it possible to reverse the fan? - I'm not an electronics expert but it might be possible. The only reason I can see that you would want to do this is to pull air "into" the existing exhaust and out the current "intake" making it pull hot air in from within a smaller area. There might be better products to do this. Slowing it down shouldn't take much more than putting in a resistor or two. But, again, I'm not an electronics expert, so that would take some research on how to accomplish this.

I guess you could but I would be careful if it is electric. If you fill it too high it will boil and some water can come down on the stove. With my woodstove it evaporates....it may cause problems w/an electric stove. I personally wouldn't.
