I have constructed a ground radiator.

I made a radiator out of scrap steel. This radiator will conduct heat into the ground to create a temperature differential for the thermoelectric device. The radiator is about 14 inches long and is make from two lengths of "angle iron".  A cross section of the radiator is 2 inches long.  At the top of the radiator is a flat square piece that the TEG will sit on.
