First post!! Anyway,
I recently got a TEG (Thermoelectric Generator) and wanted to use some excess heat from my fireplace or another heat source to charge an iPod, just a cool do it yourself.
I figure I will be using a jewel thief circuit to bump the voltage up (I was getting around 1.1V max from the fireplace) - and then charge a nickel metal hydride battery...which in turn would charge the ipod.
Any reccomendations or warnings from some experienced hobbyists/EEs?
I'm new to this and appreciate any assistance! Thanks guys.
