Hello all,
The peltier cells finally got here today!! Anyways, I hooked one up to a cord that has a plug at one end and raw wire at the other. I did the same thing I did with my CPU fan, where I twisted the wires together (on their respectable sides, of course) and electrical taped. *Note: I have no solderin gun*
Anyways, I plugged it in for a test run, nothing happened for a sec, and wait for it>>>
POP!!! A little spark and puff of smoke came off of it, and both ends got HOT!!
Scared the Pee wah diddy out of me! So, I was wondering if it was overpowered, or something else? Also, has anyone used the screw into normal fixture compact flourescents on a timer? The box warned against it, I don't know why... THANKS!!
