Too good to be true? 70% carnot efficient Power Chips!?

This would be pretty exciting if they come up with a real product:

Any comments?  I'm a little shaky investing my money in a Gibraltar-based company, even if it IS the Rock of Gibraltar!

I've been interested in that website for awhile now. It would be good to be able to purchase them and use them for concentrators.

Did not really spend much time there.

But I wonder how the Carnot cycle, related to pressure and entropy as I recall, is related to electric generation in a do-hicky-ma-bob.  Must take some serious pressure to move electrons.

Anyone with a good explaination can jump right in now.

Please.

Peliter's are not related to pressure are they?

And they sure can't be 80% eff.

This thing is trying to sound different.

I don't get how Carnot is involved at all.
