Thermogeneration of Electricity...again

Friends: We have had an inquiry from a gentleman in Nepal who is
trying to build a thermogenerator that will power a radio. He has
been in e-mail contact with several of the more technically adept
folks who participated in the now Archived Research Inquiry, but has
requested photos of my Russian lamp's heat sink. As Internet is
awfully slow there, I thought the easiest way to help would be to
post the photos here.
As those of you that were at the Aladdin
Gathering in Paducah in 2001 know, I now own a small Russian lamp
(1/2" wick, as I remember) and thermogenerator unit that will (and
actually DID when someone was watching!) operate two 9 volt
speakerless transistor radios at once, but will BARELY light a grain
of wheat bulb. An interesting novelty, and I'm glad I have it, but
the efficiency is so low as to make it practically worthless.
Maybe the Thermogeneration discussion will reopen because of this
request, maybe not. :: Fil Graff ::
