I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I am a thinker. Since I burn a wood stove 24/7 all winter long anyway. What do you folks that may be a bit more educated than me think of this? I can sure rig it up and fix it. Seems like a good idea to me?

Power a light or two, don't think it would power a TV or computer. Run the fan in a heater, mmm maybe.

I like it, what is the cost?

It MIGHT power a few LED bulbs or it might be enough to make the piezoelectric-electric igniter on a water heater fire off. 25 watts is hardly worth messing with.

LC EFA:
Matter of scale.

At the size displayed and BTU's of heat inputted it's a good school science project.

On a larger scale with a much larger heat source it might be viable.

I was thinking more along the line of keeping a bank of deep cycle batterys charged and a power inverter you augt to be able to run lights an TV at night no? I run the tv and lights at hunting cabin with one charged battery.
