thermoelectric voltage and amperage test now visable

here is a copy and paste from the seller of the item. they are on ebay. quote:

Yah, on my first attempt I had the stove so hot that it melted the solder on the TE almost immediatly. I opted to use a heat gun for convenience. I'm not an engineer, but I stopped it at 3.6 volts...I think it was topped out but my very bad set up was slipping so it seemed like a good time. The motor had 3.5 ohms resistance, so, I think that is 1 amp right? Here's a You tube of my experiment



end quote from seller.
the seller made this video for me.

I am not sure about the resistance he mentions which he says show 1 amp. are his calculations correct?

linky: 100 pcs for $3 each.http://www.ebay.com/itm/?cmd=ViewIte...%3D%26_fvi%3D1

if anyone can verify that his calculations are indeed correct and this cell is producing 1 amp and 3.5 volts like he says then he has got a great product and quite affordable too. but is this correct and genuine?
