How about milliwatts and microwatts. Isn't
Eveready/Duracell/Rayovac/Panasonic
a billion-dollar industry?
Yeah. In the first post I listed 100 watts thermal or 10 watts
thermoelectric as the minimum practical level, but I guess even a fraction
of a watt thermoelectric would be useful. And one-watt thermal would make a
dandy pocket warmer / gonad eraser. (Imagine the late night TV ads for that!)
It is hard to imagine what use anyone might have for 100 or 200 mW of
intermittent thermal power. That's how much most present-day CF devices
produce. Not practical.
