Very low percentages can be recovered from the waste heat under lab conditions so there is little hope it would working for mining rigs. It would not pay for itself see what Marto74 tried to do at BTCJam people were too smart to invest in that losers of a scam idea.

There are some numbers of people looking at any angle to screw people over. Be very careful of anyone associated with Marto74 like projects.

This thread was completely theoretical. I just wanted some opinion on the feasibility of this since I don't quite understand electronics and electrical engineering. Hopefully some day TEGs will be efficient enough that this could be feasible. Or miners can be made more efficiently to draw less power and produce less heat.
