The same process reversed pumps heat. The batteries on most of NASA's deep space probes use the same technique. It's just that they use a decaying nuclear pile as the heat source rather than a body. 30 plus years life in hard radiation isn't all that bad for durability. I was hoping they had figured out how to make it flexible so it could be made into clothing. -- | Bryan Andersen || http://www.nerdvest.com | | Buzzwords are like annoying little flies that deserve to be swatted. | | -Bryan Andersen | -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
