So you want to build a demon. That proverbial creature that can sort hot and
cold bits. New research has created a wonderful Graphene energy harvester you
might be interested in. I guess you could attempt to use minor spatial
perturbations an use that. but for any real energy, ya just can't get past mass
and acceleration without some serious joules. Did you know when Nitinol is bent
it creates molecular heat in super elastic mode, and it goes through a similar
cooling when it relaxes? food for thought my friend about energy differentials
and thermal effects on an atomic scale. Always seems to come back to
compression/relaxation phases don't it?

This challenge is inspired by the title of Gene Mallove`s book "Fire From Ice".
A major engineering goal in the past was to make ice from fire. That is given a
very hot reservoir and ambient temperature, build a machine which will cause
water to freeze.
Can a complementary machine be built which will cause water to boil given a
very cold reservoir and the ambient temperature? Has this already been done?
