Ahhhhhh, not really sure where you can get the chip but peltier effect doesnt seem to work that well here in warm Singapore.

Tried it... no point you'll be wasting time and money..

Firstly the chip is not cheap esp when bought alone, secondly you need a power supply which can power a few amps... which is hard to find... next you need to interface the water and chip thermally, which IMO is the toughest part..

Also, you must thermally insulate the whole thing well, + prevent condenstation otherwise the chip would spoil...

A lot of problems lah... so unless u are SURE of what to do, don't try it...
