G+_Ben Reese Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I wonder if this could use a thermoelectric generator to power the electronics. Future Cook How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Marsh Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ben Reese I don't see why it couldn't be done. There's a lot of heat that is going to escape; might as well harness it. We had forced air tent heaters that used thermo-electric generators to power the electronics AND the fan. They have a battery to get started, but once the unit is running it's self-powered. We used a string of four during the ice storm of '08 or '09 to heat a reinforced concrete barracks that held about 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
