Fascinating thermoelectric technology can harvest power from fluctuating temperatures
We've heard of wave power, where the rise and fall of the tides is converted into energy for use in the power grid.
Well, now they've come up with a way to convert the changes in temperature into power.
The inventors expect that they'll be able to extract temperature-change energy from refrigerators and industrial motors, to name just two possibilities.

YOUR INVITATION
Got thoughts on my strategy? Please share 'em.
That looks a good idea once the kinks/problems are worked out of it, They aren't admitting any yet, but there will be a few to get it commercial.
The thought of the pollution that could be saved is staggering.
For a Skippy you are worth following.
Howdy, @len.george
I'd say the motivation to get the kinks out has got to be huge, yes?
But what is a Skippy? No, let me guess. You know I'm from Australia and that makes you think of kangaroos... and that makes you think of "Skippy the bush kangaroo", a favorite among kids of an earlier generation (yours perhaps?).
For twenty-six odd years in the RNZAF, we would do exercises with the RAAF, they were always known as skippies a. because of the TV show, b, because they kept skipping their turn to buy the beer.
Surely not. An Aussie skipping out on buying beer??!!
[just kidding]
So you're a Kiwi. Nice to meet you, Len. We lived in NZ for 7 years back in the 1970s. Loved it.
We did a pub crawl in Brisbane, the Skippies would only drink Thoughys [a miss spelt Tui], or XXXX [how the clever ones spell beer], they wouldn't mix them, so there was a bunch of Skippies standing on the pavement waiting for us to have our round before we continued.
I vaguely remember it was a good afternoon/night, I think
Where abouts in Paradise were you?
Len, sounds like that'd be Tooheys.
We live in Canberra, which - despite the opinion of some folks - is quite a nice place to live. Being inland, it avoids the humidity of coastal regions so even when it's hot in summer (with temperatures in the mid 30s C.) it doesnt feel unbearable due to the low humidity. When we get house sitting gigs near the coast, we notice the difference in the air. And are glad to get back to Canberra. But it does get a bit chilly in winter. Apparently tonight we're expecting it to get down below 10 degrees C.
Hi there Mr Gary. Thanks for the info once more. I believe that scientists have proven that there is free energy in and on this planet since early 20th century ...
And it's good to know they're finding ways to harness it.
So we can cut down on the polluting sources of power of yesteryear, yes?
Of course yes ! Hope the 7 'sisters' allow it ...
Now you've got my interest...
Who/what are the 7 sisters?
The 7 sisters of petrol ,Exxon, Shell, BP, Mobil, Texaco , Gulf και Chevron
So that's who the seven sisters are! Thanks.
I'd never heard of this label before.
Ya live and ya learn.
