The dehumidifier has been working as designed and advertised, pulling about a cup of water out of the air of the inside of my car while sitting over night.
I also have a 48v to 9v converter on order so that I can run it off of the main traction pack instead of off of the battery that runs the lights.
I also have some more heat sinks and fans on order and about to order some more peltier junctions so I can build my own, granted it only pulls half a liter of water per kwh out of the air, where an energy star rated dehumidifier is 1.2 to 1.6 L per KWH, but this is tiny! smaller then a toaster on end and the only moving part is the fan, weighs only a few pounds and runs off low voltage DC.
The other peltier junctions I'm getting I'm going to set up to work both for heating and cooling, because for heating 100 watts of energy input and I can get 150 to 200 watts of heat output because they are a heat pump and are reversible just by changing the polarity/flip of a switch.
