I love Low Tech magazine. Half their articles are horribly impractical or not very well thought out but I genuinely still love it.

Same. People talk about good design but I've not seen design as beautiful as lowtech.

So, thermocouples are commonly used in industry to make temperature probes, typically in the form of a coil of wire containing two conductors of different metals. I wonder if it'd be possible to get ahold of some thermocouple wire and put together a solar cell at home?
