A research collaboration in Europe has created a new alloy of silicon, germanium, and tin that can convert waste heat from computer processors back into electricity. It...
Thats a very good point and makes me think about how funny it is that we are collecting energy through various forms of convoluted systems…I wonder if we can find some way to harness energy more directly.
Thats probably more like renewable energy and nuclear though if I had to guess, which is also sorta convoluted because you putting effort into storage instead of ways of converting the energy into something useful.
You can always attach a sterling engine to the waste heat of a system, its just diminishing returns.
