There are a couple of statements there that seem conflicting and raise big red flags for me. First, the basic idea seems to be that you have to somehow raise the temperature of the device to 600C to produce some undefined amount of "üseful current".
No mention is made of any comparison between the energy it takes to raise and maintain this 600C condition and the energy the output provides. The second suspicious statement is that the process is 100% efficient. That would imply to me that the output power of the device would be sufficient to produce a 600C rise in a similar heater. I doubt that it would put out even one watt.
I suspect that heating one side of a standard Peltier plate to a far lower temperature (60C) would produce far more electrical power and that heating dissimilar metal thermopiles would beat that. They used to make thermoelectric generators using thermopiles that allowed one to power a tube radio using the heat from a kerosene lamp chimney.
This free open source technology is worth exactly what he is charging for it. JMHO.
