I am hoping to make it flat sided, to allow the attachment of thermoelectric generators to help reduce the electric load.
Great idea if you have lots of money or an inexpensive source for the TEG's. It's been a couple years since I checked into them but at the time quality generators were prohibitively expensive. What would you do to keep the cool side cool to maintain the temperature differential?
I assume you have already checked into sources but here is one that I'll toss out.
Hi-Z Technology, Inc.
I have no affiliation with this company--haven't even bought anything from them but ran across their site when I was researching TEG's a few years ago.
