I know this is not really an electronic question, but it will have electrons flowing...
I know heating copper and iron at the junction of them twisted together will generate electric energy at the ends of the wires.
I have never tried this, but is there better material (common material) that will generate a fair ammount of power from the heat?
I bought a fresnel lens for the my kid (and me) to play with. After cooking pennies and aluminum cans we were over the lens. Then I thought let's make a steam engine or something, or use bi-metals for power.
