Energy Stick
Completely safe to touch and handle, simply complete the circuit by touching both electrodes at the end of the stick simultaneously.

Thermoelectric generators are solid state devices that converts heat flux (temperature differences) directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect (a form of thermoelectric effect). 

This smart little demo is designed to be immersed in approximately 60mm of water, with each aluminum leg being immersed in one of the included plastic cups.  When the legs are immersed water of equal temperature, nothing happens. Immerse the generator in cups of water with a substantial difference in temperature, and the fan will begin to spin..

Includes 4mm DC input/output terminals and switch to redirect electricity to/from these terminals. The output from these terminals can be hooked up to a meter for measurement, allowing the user to monitor temperature gradient and output data. 

A DC power supply (up to 6V) can be routed through the 4mm terminals, demonstrating heating on one side and cooling on the other side of the thermocouple.
