Salty, I put this post up at another board where an oil scientist posts about the Stanford Researchers Design Efficient Off-Grid System For Producing Power At Night

I asked him if it was la land. His response shows you his knowledge.>>>
Not la la. just not practical for the described purpose. looks like it's based on Seebeck effect. If you put a bunch of thermocouples in series, then a temperature difference between the thermocouple junctions sets up a current in the wire. I've used the same principle/configuration in calorimeters to measure heat effects associated with chemical reactions/processes.
it wouldnt be practical because it would require a crapload of thermocouple junctions (probably millions/panel) to generate sufficient power for household use. Making all of those junctions would be expensive and any set of serially connected junctions would be like old fashioned string of Christmas lights - failure anywhere along the string kills it.
I suggested a similar scheme to some professors at Princeton many years ago for powering satellites and they poo-poo'd it.
This guy's knowledge is pronominal
