The stirling thing is where it spins, heats and cools and turns a DC motor or something. Thats not really what I'm going for. But every single thermocouple thing I'm looking at is for sensing temperatures, but I dont see anything about producing electricity.
I was thinking it was something along the lines of a heat sink, heat pump, or something that if one side of it was hotter than the other it would produce power. What in the world was I looking at?
