I don't know how many your "hand-full of watts" are but here is a source 

of thermoelectric generators in the 2.5 to 19 watt range.  Certainly 

wouldn't run an all electric airplane, but might keep your radios 

running.  They also offer a DC-DC converter to provide a regulated 12V 

output.

   I'm not aware of any thermoelectric products that go beyond

   a hand-full of watts capability. That technology goes back a

   very long way. Here's a small step back in time to when thermoelectric

   power generation became commercially practical technology:

   Yeah, compared to the 1.5KW peak power demand on the

   cable TV power supply, these are a hand-full of watts.

   These are still a lot better than Seebeck effect devices

   but one is still challenged to maximize temperature

   differentials between hot and cold surfaces. The kerosene

   lantern devices worked better if one sat next to it

   and fanned the outside surface to provide forced air

   cooling!
