Gerotor
Electricity from Waste Heat
From this site:
Quote:
Ener-G-Rotors' technology is based on the Rankine cycle, in which heated fluid flowing through a tube heats a pressurized fluid in a second tube via a heat exchanger. The second tube is a closed loop; the so-called working fluid flowing through it (a refrigerant with a low boiling point, in the case of Ener-G-Rotors) vaporizes and travels into a larger space called an expander. There, as the name would imply, it expands, exerting a mechanical force that can be converted into electricity.
Instead of turning a turbine, the expanding vapor in Ener-G-Rotors' system turns the gerotor ...[which turns an alternator.]

Gerotor = Gerotor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Looks tough to make?
How about this:
US $12.50 OBO + $17.18 Shipping.
It's possible.
