While working on the cloud chamber, I wanted to see what would happen if I left the TEC running for an extended period of time. It seems as though the size and shape of the ice structure are affected by the ambient temperature and humidity.

For the next version, I want to reduce the surface area of the cold side to limit the amount of heat pumped from the atmosphere, which will hopefully increase the rate of ice growth. Other steps would be to create voltage potential on the plate to see how it influences the growth of the ice crystals.
