However, I think it calls for a good calorimeter. One of Ed's Seebeck calorimeters would be ideal, or the Thermonetics Seebeck. 0.25 to 1 W is too small to measure by any other means with confidence. As I said, Arata tried to do it by crude methods and the thermoelectric chip driving the camera focus motor. I think it was on the 1 W scale. It was not convincing. He should have used a Seebeck. With a good calorimeter and a professional presentation, you could convince a lot of people with that, and probably get proper funding. > Higher power densities can be reached by stimulation but at the expense of > COP. > Then stay away from that. Better to have zero power input, and simple calorimetry, in my opinion. - Jed
