Peltiers can be ruined with too much heat. I should have said something about non-destructive operating temperatures.

I've read few articles on generating applications. Mostly propane-based, out in the real remote locations.

Also for wood stoves, but the overheating issue is a biggie. Too easy to cook your investment w/o much of a return.

Anyway, you're stuck in traffic, and there's not much [cool] air moving across the the cooling fins, and you end up
like the guys with baked peltiers on wood stoves.

I'd rather have an RTG, myself... :)

A GTO with an RTG. What a combo!
