You also fail to understand what anyone with elementary knowledge will know: any device which produces heat can be used to produce electricity with thermoelectric devices. Arata ran a small motor with one heated by a self-sustaining gas-loaded cell. All Seebeck calorimeters produce electricity, so any self-sustaining device inside of one is acting as electric generator, roughly on the scale of the plutonium-powered pacemakers of the 1970s. (Before you lash out with snide comments about how plutonium-powered pacemakers never existed, I suggest you look them up.) - Jed
