Ohio Researchers Advance Heat Reclamation Technologies
Downchuck writes "Researchers at Ohio State University claim to have synthesized a new material capable of delivering electricity directly from heat, at an efficiency far better than existing thermoelectric materials. Scott at ArsTechnica has an interesting take: 'Merge this with the new MIT solar dish and you're in business!'"
Finally, we have a truly renewable source of energy - we can just harness all the hot air coming from our politicians.
Yes, on this site we obey the Laws of Thermodynamics!
Great, now I'm going to start getting spam about using thallium to enhance my testicles.
Thallium accumulates in your testicles. I remember hearing stories about labs handling thallium where only women were allowed.
Well, the article does explicitly state that "The material does all the work."
The other campaign may call it pandering, but I think the American people deserve a temporary holiday from the Laws of Thermodynamics.
Just attach a generator to the lower jaws to my husband and his mother. The energy they produce by moaning about the heat should cool the whole of Cologne for the summer.

A very good point! But let me make sure I understand it. You're saying that it would be better if it cost less? Man that's some good thinking. How do you do it?
What's hard is converting the "water" into "wine"...
So what you're saying is that Jesus can create electricity directly from heat? I'm confused...
I'm disabling ads until because I choose not to reward redesigns that are less usable than "view source".
