Electricity produced by radioactive isotopes, strontium go, polonium zro, by thermoelectric energy conversion.

The thermoelectric nuclear isotope power generation used in some spacecraft would not work because the molten-iron environment is already hotter than the decaying radioactive isotope.

They lay with their heads in sunlight and their branched tails in shadow, soaking up energy through thermoelectric currents.

She woke to the bitter tang of black Colombian perking in the pot, the scent mingling with a buttery aroma of pancakes, the sizzle of bacon in its lake of fat, all lacing in their steamy collaboration to make a perfect moist morning And then she snapped awake, really awake-on the hard rover bunk, hugging herself in her thermoelectric blanket.

Such as this new wrinkle of thermoelectric power from the temperature difference of deep ocean and surface ocean.
