The problem that I see is that unless that magic semiconductor is 100% efficient, turning all the heat energy into electrical energy, then there's gonna be some left over, and things are gonna get too hot too fast too furious. So you'll need to cool the thing, or part of it, maybe similar to a TEG using the Seebeck or Peltier effect?
I have a few of these kicking around somewhere. They work, just not super efficient, at all, with current technology.
My point is I feel like no matter what you're gonna need extra parts to cool the thing. Water pumps etc etc. Why not just use steam? 🤷♂️
Edit: nice diagram though!
