Is there a limit on the efficiency of a device when being used to convert a temperature difference to electrical power (seebeck effect)? I can only find information on the voltage generated, not current available.
How much power (V*I) can you get out of a temperature difference of x degrees, which is maintained by a system capable of moving heat from the cold side to the hot side at a rate of y watts? (Obviously if your peltier conducts heat faster than the sytem generates the difference, you're going to hit a limit pretty quickly, so we'll assume that you don't do that.)
