I submitted this question previously and was told there was a similar answer 
on your site.  

I appreciate the need to avoid duplicate questions on your site. However, 
the
answers revealed by a search are the same as the answers elsewhere on the 
web:
"Apply a current and one side gets cold and one side gets hot." This is not
really an answer. Just a statement of observed behavior. I can understand if
the answer is too advanced for your available experts. Please reconsider
submitting my question.

Regards, Brian
