The trouble with this approach is that the thermoelectric modules are expensive and don't generate much power compared to solar. Also, whilst the fact that they can theoretically generate power regardless of the time of day or the weather is nice, you're probably not going to want to run your stove all day and produce twenty times as much heat as electricity in the middle of a baking hot summer.
- Gibbon1 6y agoBought a van that has a secondary battery and a 2kw inverter. It'll run a toaster, electric kettle, or a microwave no problem. Also runs a Engel Fridge for 4 days. Over the years I've read lots of stuff about supposed better mouse trap low tech stoves for people the third world. I suspect what they'd rather is a cheaply financed high tech solar powered mini-kitchen.
