Sterling,

They mentioned the Minto Wheel -- a type of heat engine (obeying all
the laws of thermodynamics) that runs off of small temperature
differences. Since it runs off small temperature differences, its
Carnot efficiency is quite low. But then again, these small
temperature differentials are very common in nature, 24 hours a day.
No one has investigated it enough to know for sure if it might still
find practical niche applications. Anyone interested in this
technology (and the related "Drinking Bird" toy) should take a look
at the Minto Wheel yahoo group:
