As for the TEG - there is no thermoelectric generator available as a
commercial item which will guaranteed 5% efficiency today. Wiki says the
best is 3%. Even at 3% you get no guarantee, and they fail easily.
Here is a commercial TEG that is 5.4% efficient:

This group, Zorbas et al., have published some other papers about TEG
that look interesting.
Rossi knows not waste his time with thermoelectrics, which BTW was his most
recent and glaring "failure to deliver". His vaunted TEGs - built at US
taxpayer expense, were a gigantic disappointment - since Rossi claimed to
get 20+ %, but in actual testing averaged 1%. That should be a warning of
what to expect from the E-Cat, as well.
That is a biased sample. You should look at the totality of Rossi's
work, which has been mainly successful. You should also look at the
totality of Ni-H and Pd-D cold fusion studies. That should be a warning
that you are excessively pessimistic and strangely biased against Rossi.
