Three "tin" cans of steel with adhesive and "tin" burned off in an
oven.

Three jaw 6 inch chuck.

1/4 inch collet die grinder in lathe toolpost.

1/4 inch two flute HSS wood routing bit

*Drill 12 holes around bottom of inner can.

* Drill 12 holes around top of second can.

* Drill 12 holes at base of outer can.

Seal with silicone o-rings.

--This much has already been done. Today I am doing:

Cast wax into outer bottom of inner can, inner bottom of second can,
and outer bottom of second can.
Invest wax.
Cast pewter today, aluminum one day.
Mill square "pillar" between inner and second can, with clearance
for...

Peltier Device! (No ****, I think this will work)

Heat sink putty device to cans with fiberglass barrier.

Mill heat sink fins in casting fitting outer bottom of second can.

Nest with o-rings.
Route wires to a tiny fan.
Fire it up and see it ... it runs forever, no batteries needed.

Should be a *blast*.

I have a Sierra Stove that uses only 1 AA cell in 18 hours.
A small Pelter device *just might do it*.

We'll see.

Miss ya guys! Been totally screwed up for nearly a year. Better now.
