Oh yeah, I can add some info, I pulled this off a few rounds ago. He's what I did differently from a normal hellburn, it's pretty quantifiable actually.
One, I went to the bottom-most solar array SMES, in cog1, and turned up it's charging and output.
Two, I let my combustion chamber heat for a full 26 minutes before starting the hot loop. I go to 20 minutes as a rule but I'm experimenting.
Three, I put a portable air pump on the aux port (hot loop) below the TEG, bottom left of that room. Had it at max KpA, set to in, and turned on.
Two final notes- APCs were losing power but not, IME, as fast as they SHOULD have. And, while for the vast majority of the round the ONLY way to see the TEG output was the indicator on the engine itself (power computers showed 0kw output and no pressure/temp information, same for Power Checker on PDA) towards the end of the round Power Checker was able to display info finally. This was, I believe, not until shuttle had arrived,
