- nine_k 3y agoExpense is usually a function of scale. Everything new and custom is expensive. Electronic chips with incredibly complex structure of some rare materials inside them are priced in cents.
- benj111 3y agoWhat I was getting at is I think I might be missing a gotcha. There's a fair amount of niche applications where peltiers are currently used even though they aren't very good. But no one's mentioning them as an alternative to peltiers.
