Theremoelectric generators are made by Teledyne Energy Systems.
110 W. Timonium Rd.
Timonium, MD. 21093
phone 301-252-8220

A typical model from Teledyne will generate 30 watts and consume
33.6 pounds of butane per week.  Output voltage is 12 volts at 2.5 A.
Typical size for such a unit is 17x25x23 inches and weighs in at
a hefty 73 pounds.

I found a little *barge* floating in the Tennesse River with one of
these units attached.  The barge also had a 19 inch radio antenna
attached to a box....about a mile upstream was the Brown's Ferry
Nuclear Plant!
