My opinions are barely worth the paper they are written on here, but hopefully they can spark some new ideas, or at least a different train of thought

Jen Fan wrote:Okay, so it looks like the peltier modules don't produce electricity? Or at least anything worth trying to utilize. They simply heat and cool? And the actual TEG chips do produce electricity? Or if that is not correct, what is the difference? I'm having a difficult time finding info on the different models.
For lack of finding an informative site, I'm mostly relying on web reviews and specs for available products. It's a bit tedious!
And if they ARE truly different, how does one weed out a true TEG from a peltier model? Just about every product I find online looks identical with little or no info about the differences/specs, even when one is 3-5x the price.
