I already happen to have an iPhone 5, so this thermal camera was the obvious choice.
I can see myself using this on all sorts of projects. For example:
General House - looking at insulation, heat escape through windows, around doors, around can lighting fixtures, etc.
Electric inefficiencies - hot spots on power strips, wall worts, circuit breaker, etc.
Solar Thermal - I have a solar hot water panel, which is mounted and half-plumbed (I have no idea where to put the tank! I have a small house!) seeing where and how that gets hot would be interesting
Solar PV - PV runs better when it's cold. Would be fun to compare summer vs winter performance using thermal imaging.
Electric Car - Look at how much heat is at the motor controller, motor, and electric connections, troubleshooting bad cells, etc.
Garage UPS Project - see how much heat is coming out of the transformer and the switching power components.
It's going to be fun!
