Been out of town. Did basic Google and YouTube searches for existing implementations of TEG systems, DIY-ers, and TEG knowledge. Reviewed existing material from wiki on TEG. Reviewed Marcin's log of feedback from ITS board outreach. Learned how to create wiki account and create a work log. Plan to have basic first drafts of designs up tomorrow (later today). "...TEG's fill factor is ~50%, meaning cover 50% surface area of the hot tube... And because only 1/2 of the 60C drop is applied on TEG..." Follow up on these comments from Zhixi... Sounds like we need a different design or 5x bigger system to achieve 100W?
