No offense intended to anyone, but something must be said about the obvious.
Did it ever occur to you people that such a device if made small enough and
react fast enough could draw significant continuous energy *anywhere* on Earth
day and night? On a micro scale there's a vast sea of significant temperature
gradients everywhere. On a nano scale even more so. Just a few days ago I posted
info on such an obvious fact of science.
I'm just baffled how everyone misses the obvious! It is intentional? I don't get
it, LOL. What's going on ... did/do universities play subliminal messages all
day programming poor students at a young age to never consider such thoughts, LOL???

Far from a new idea indeed, what is new is that it is moving closer to being
a viable technology. A thermo acoustic refer has been developed and tested
in HOT undeveloped parts of the world and found to work. The device is
placed in the sun during the day and it produces ice, then it is moved
indoors at night and keeps foods cold until the next day. What one must see
is that there are NO moving parts. The device can be built from material
that is not super expensive.
Something (I'm not aware of anyone doing it yet) is to use this device to
reclaim potable water from the air. Granted the load is greater than doing
the ice, but it can be done, and is an interesting idea as all one does is
get to the dew point and dump the resulting latent heat which with proper
design can be used by the prime mover.
Not new indeed, but better than some of the other hair brained schemes being
proposed by many...

University of Utah physicist Orest Symko holds a match to a small heat
engine that produces a high-pitched tone by converting heat into sound.
Symko's research team is combining such heat engines with existing
technology that turns sound into electricity, resulting in devices that
can
harness solar energy in a new way, cool computers and other electronics.

University of Utah physicists developed small devices that turn heat into
sound and then into electricity. The technology holds promise for changing
waste heat into electricity, harnessing solar energy and cooling computers
and radars.
