People are downvoting because billpg essentially wants a perpetuum mobile, something that creates useable energy just from the presence of a high temperature reservoir. This violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Heat does not equal usable energy, what you need to extract something useful is a temperature difference.


I don't care if the energy is useful, I just want it gone.
