It is a sandwich formed by two ceramic plates with an array of small Bismuth Telluride cubes ("couples") in between. When a DC current is applied heat is moved from one side of the device to the other

If you has an alloy intercooler and mounted the peltier to the end tanks perhaps this would work however the warm side of the peltier would obviously increase under bonnet termpratures..

Just mentioning theory, not for a moment suggesting that this would work or that Im going to try it
it would take some energy
