Holy… ****ing… ****.

edit: Torching the thing probably… uh, no, definitely... isn’t the best thing for those peltier units, I’m p sure they’d melt or malfunction at that high a heat! Also, I would’ve just recycled an old CPU heatsink instead of fashioning some… *jajajaja* wire.. *gahaha* heatsink… you know, clean off a nice flat spot, apply a little heatsink compound, then solder (or weld… although solder would probably be more realistic) the heatsink to the base plate. But still goddamn friggin awesome.

I didn’t have any heatsinks that’d look nice. also it’d get too hot on both sides if it were all copper/aluminum.

It’s probably bad for it to get flashed with heat, but it’s got that steel between the fire and the peltier… I dunno. They take a beating pretty well, though.

Johnny, it uses some weird chemical property in the white thing sandwiched between the plates that makes electricity when there’s a temperature difference between the two sides. So ya, it’s powered by heat.
