This guy has very cool stirling engines. I wonder how much heat
energy you need to run these, though perhaps they could be
optimized for a Nanor device.
A thermoelectric chip would probably be more practical. A Seebeck
calorimeter is a gigantic thermoelectric chip. I recommend this for
small power levels.

Jed, the miserable 10% efficiency of thermoelectric devices would make
this a near worthless system, even as a table curiosity. The
heat-to-heat COP would have to be /way/ over 10:1
