Not quite sure what you mean?

TEG = Thermo electric generator = A Peltier module :slight_smile: These modules are usually used to cool stuff since they can go sub-zero but use a lot of power to do so. And cooling the hot side as much as possible of course :smiley: However they can be used in reverse, heating one side and cooling the other one to get power out :slight_smile: Not very efficient but it works :slight_smile: That’s how stove fans work for instance :slight_smile:
