Admittedly, I forgot all about this thread. A few years back, but after this thread, I saw a video where someone described that exact device and demonstrated a replication of it. The original video was taken down, but here's a followup:

I probably thought it had just formed a battery when I first hear about it, but as the guy doing the experiment explains that it works like a solar cell with semiconductors that react to heat instead of light.
The invention really is a great way of making the public accept the idea of free energy without being too "out-there" for the mainstream to accept, because it simply produces energy from heat, but this time without needing both a hot side & a cold side unlike the Peltier effect. If a device were designed to function at very low temperatures & work in conjunction with a heat pump or something similar, it may be the first step to scientifically proving that zero-point energy can be used to produce power.
