Yeah, I have no 'showy' thermal thing to control.  But that's not so
important from my perspective.  I’d be more interested in the control
details, different control loops, different source detector distances
(materials) So that thermal diffusion effects could be seen.
It would be really nice to have different cooling sources.
(TEC and air fins and then a heater and some sort of cryogen.  But the
cryogen part looks more expensive.. (CFC’s are out), or dangerous,
(boiling water)

Do you mind if I ask whom you think you might sell this to?
Add on labs for your book?  Engineering schools?
Does the $50 include all the electronics?
(you can always reply in private... gherold@teachspin (dot) com)
