No mention in the article of the wires used in the Russian unit,
but says Seebeck himself used bismuth and copper

Wonder if there's a market for this type of voltage generation
with campers/trampers who use fuel lamps. Probably already
been done or is too expensive. Does the Seebeck effect work
with just metals or could it work with ceramics ?
