Whose tagline says "That's not how windmills work!"?

When I was in elementary school we had some assembly where a man had a girl hold a tile made from sand. He said it was like what what the space shuttle used. He put a torch to the tile and asked the girl to tell us if she felt the heat.

Could you put insulation between a heat source and the ambient air and then use that differential?
