I have started looking for cheap Peltier devices on the net...when I dont want them they are very cheap..that is the price I want to pay ...anyways I will buy a six pack ( if the right price, maybe more) and stick them together and see what can be achieved...for fun ... If cheap enough I would like a batch to put on the chimney to see in practice what current could be harvested..as heat will produce current but not knowing how to apply the formula I have no idea of what one could expect...once you have some numbers you could work out how many to produce useful current...and the good thing is there would be plenty of heat available..heat that is normally wasted.
But as you say bolting them together is going to see a huge power bill
