I wonder why it's so hard for the various experimenters in these forums to build an enclosure that small that will do the same without damaging the generator on hot days??

I guess maybe that's the difference between solid engineering and do-it-your-selfers ... of course ~$1000 for the enclosure is a big difference, too.
