Post by thread:[EE] Thermo-electric power generation done differe

<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1203647021/the-powerpot?ref=category> A cooking pot with a 5W, 10W, or 15W TEG power module on the bottom. The heat source is the hot side, the contents of the pot are the cold side. Must be used with a "watery" material inside the pot (water, soup, whatever). Looks like they use thermocouple connectors to connect the pot to the control module. The smallest unit puts out 5V @ 1A but they plan to offer 9V and 12V versions in the future. The stated use is for charging cell-phones and such. This actually looks like it might even work <grin>. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid <spam_OUTdwaynerTakeThisOuTplanet.eon.net> Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax http://www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing
