Three of them work! It was four of them, but I pushed one a little too hard. Now it's down to three

Pull out the peltiers, test them to see if they work and if they work, do something weird with them.

My Jeep Wrangler 4xe phev did this too.

Regarding the fan shrouds: have you ever thought of getting into vacuum forming? You have the skills and equipment to make the formwork, and then you could make things like custom fan shrouds.

This was really cool to watch! There’s one of these for sale on eBay. If I didn’t value my marriage I’d jump on it just for the unique factor. I wonder if there’s anyway to improve the performance of these?

Great video as always, I think the reason the engine tried to turn on right after turning the truck on for the first time is because the hood was open, for states that require inspections, you have to be able to run the engine on its own to pass inspection, Chevy volts also do this so would make sense.

That's pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. Neat!
