Re: There goes the neighborhood
Thanks for the info. It seems that the guys is using peltier elements, could the have made a form of feedback from the
hot side of the engine system to get more out of the peltier element.
I cant figure out how they have done this, if they only use 4
small peltier elements for a car.
Best regards

Re: There goes the neighborhood
It does look nice but every Monday and Thursday, we here of new inventions in many fields, It doesn't say anywhere in what conditions was it made.
I doubt very much that it will work in Utah, in the hot summer, outside.
I will believe it when I see it.
