peltier panels mounted to a weapon could use barrel heat(there is a lot of it) to recharge such things as sighting systems, laser sights, or night vision equipment. a piezo-buttstock could also help with this...-- bobenhotep, Jul 03 2004 Well, why not. We've got generators on everything else in the HB.-- 5th Earth, Jul 03 2004 This would sit between the heat source and cooling system.
Darn, the entire sighting system just shut off. Quick, fire off another round.-- Laughs Last, Jul 04 2004 random, halfbakery
