That's about enough to keep our batteries healthy in low sun and wind conditions during the middle of winter. But we do have to use a gas generator once in a while to give them a better boost. But every bit adds up. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-82748812473568871182014-04-16T20:44:03.759-07:002014-04-16T20:44:03.759-07:00I was wandering, how much electricity do you produ...I was wandering, how much electricity do you produce with the wood stove thermoelectric generator?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471524216861560913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-49566239070260630842012-02-22T16:59:19.299-08:002012-02-22T16:59:19.299-08:00Thanks for all the comments.
Stephanie - The air...Thanks for all the comments. <br /><br />Stephanie - The air where we live is more on the moist side, but not humid. In winter, we leave water on the wood stove to put moisture in the air. Sometimes when the temperature is really cold outside, condensation will form on the underside of the roof. We just have to be careful to moderate the wood stove temperature to keep the moisture inside to a minimum.<br /><br />Richard - Unfortunately this model is no longer being made, even though it is perfect for our needs. Ron at TEG Power does sell the components if you are handy with electrical projects. His new version using liquids vs. direct heat can be found on his website www.tegpower.com.<br /><br />MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-80590129868264002522012-02-21T15:04:35.150-08:002012-02-21T15:04:35.150-08:00Wow never come across that before.

Does it ever feel damp in your floating home? By the way, some blogs I follow are trying to remove the robot codes thingy when we comment. I tried doing it on mine and am not sure it is still shows there. Sometimes it is not a problem using those code things.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723791871126292717noreply@blogger.com
