Cool Chips™ is the future of all cooling, refrigeration, and thermal
management. Cool Chips use a revolutionary new thermotunnel technology
to deliver up to a projected 70-80% of the maximum (Carnot) theoretical
efficiency for heat pumps. Conventional refrigerators operate at up to
50% efficiency and current thermoelectric systems (Peltier Effect)
operate at 5-8% efficiency.

These can allegedly be used in reverse to produce power from heat....
