Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

Zoom 12/11/2020:

• The sponsor was very happy with our proposed cooling solution for the hot side. (The heat sink with a vapor chamber) We are in the process of acquiring the heat sink for testing.

• The sponsor talked about his power draw concerns, so we are researching what is the best power TEC to buy, and what power to run it at for a good coefficient of performance.
