(Unfortunately lost in a move) It was bulky and smoky, but it worked. ( Our governement buyed them by the thousands, but only a few were distributed!!) I think China or Russia are the possible sources of affordable TEGs (Thermoelectric Generators) We contacted a Chinese company TAHUIAXING ( http://www.sitechina.com/thermoelectric/Pspec.html ) and are waiting for prices. I hope there will be more cheaper than Hi-z. Keep you informed.
