Peltiers are especially nice, as they follow a constant delta from the ambient temperature - ie if the air drops a few degrees suddenly then the cold side will follow.

Bird, I am glad that you have become more active on IIS with Saturn and the storm data. Your work has inspired me to get better. Also the sharing of your experience via your website has been most helpful. I look forward to more collaboration with you in the future.

Obviously my Peltier cooling system will further evolve over time as I get more familiar with it.
