Okay......... our first recruit!

your mission is as follows...........

Seriously though, there was a post alittle while back on the LPG energy cell, use search on these words and it should come up.

In a nutshell, it's a Seebeck principle, which is the opposite of those little 12 volt coolers you can buy. Instead of plugging into 12 volts, and having a heat transfer taking place ( the name of the process escapes me........ too much to drink tonight.......) you simply apply heat, and get electricity.

Very old technology, heaps of info on the net about it.

A lot of semi - conductors and the like will work in reverse. You all know about green LED's....... well, they are also used to detect light levels in solar tracking devices. Simple reverse technology.

Anyway, have alook at the archived post, that should bring you up to speed.

Fair call, but for say ten bucks each, Tracy & I can spend a whole afternoon together, look at stuff that would cost us more in time and money to travel around, even here in Adelaide.

And............. when you take your partner to these things, it just seems so much easier to justify buying things........ you KNOW what I mean............

Ian,
The latest recruit to SWMBO's menagerie of animals came with the justification, "well, it was no more than your roof racks!"
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
