The Thermo-Electric Generator is a simple engine. This engine uses hot and cold gas, (''hot and cold sides of the circulators'') to generate energy. To make more power, you will need to scale the hot and cold gasses and maintain the temperature difference between them. The limiting factor being how the engine is set up and having too great of a difference in gas temperature. A great difference in temperature can overpower the other circulator, preventing power generation. However, an unmodified engine will usually lead you into the biggest, most common problem: clogs. | The Thermo-Electric Generator is a simple engine.
