Testing our set-up before we arrive at the LDC in September! Thanks to @coolLEDltd for loaning us kit for trial runs at @imperialcollege

#DidYouKnow peltiers are used to stabilise the temperature of systems ranging from satellites and spacecrafts to beer coolers! #funfact
We've started to assemble the #Peltier system for our experiment! This transfers heat from one area to another using an electric current.

Funny talks about science (including our project) for non-scientists. You know you want to... xitter.cf/ewoodic/status/8314855…
Everyone loves learning a cheeky bit of #Arduino. Can't wait to #automate our experiment! #spinyourthesis17
