<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure how you qualify that. It was not the first stove to have a TEG but it has been internationally successful. The mechanism it uses to limit the heat transferred to a level that does not damage the TEG.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are TEGs available for installation into stoves as a kit from a company called TEG-tech which can generate up to 300 Watts from a space heating stove. The winner of the Clean Stove competition held on the Mall in DC a few years ago
generated 50 Watts continuously. It was using power to run two cooling fans and still generated 50 Watts.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes it is – many people were surprised to hear this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lucida Console"">>it would be better to make a stove with a TEG themselves or pay a handyman to make one. It could be a good business.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That sounds really easy. Try it. You will discover why these things were not mounted in all stoves already. Fortunately recent developments are making them more reliable and they have increasingly large temperature ranges.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Lucida Console";color:#26282A">In contrast to what the comments suggest, the article does not advocate the expansion of biomass as an energy source. Instead, it argues that already burning biomass fires – used by roughly 40% of
today’s global population – could also produce electricity as a by-product, if they are outfitted with thermoelectric modules. Nevertheless, several commenters maintained their criticism after they read the article more carefully. One of them wrote: “We should
aim to eliminate the burning of biomass globally, not make it more attractive.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:"Lucida Console";color:#26282A">Apparently, high-tech thinking has permeated the minds of (urban) environmentalists to such an extent that they view biomass as an inherently troublesome energy source – similar
to fossil fuels. To be clear, critics are right to call out unsustainable practices in biomass production. However, these are the consequences of a relatively recent, “industrial” approach to forestry. When we look at historical forest management practices,
it becomes clear that biomass is potentially one of the most sustainable energy sources on this planet.</span></i></b><span style="font-family:"Lucida Console";color:#26282A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
