Week 13 : Testing and Troubleshooting

Objective:
Testing of functional "Thermoelectric Devices Charger" and troubleshooting when problem occur.

Analysis/Discussion:

As the prototype have been completely constructed, there is need to testing and verify that the system is surely able to supply low powered devices through "Thermoelectric Devices Charger" .For testing purpose, the smartphone and power bank was used. it is successfully work for charging purpose as shown in figure below.
