Hey all;
What happens to the electricity a thermoelectric generator produces when it isn't being used? I'm talking about this kind of thing: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/TEC1-12703-...LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aff17c41d&_uhb=1.
I understand that current is drawn, not pushed, but if you had something like this connected to an LED through a switch, and you switched the LED off, would there somehow be a buildup of electricity on one side of the generator that would need to be siphoned off, since electricity would continue to be produced?
Thanks
