Actually, a very small steam turbine would have a better power to weight ratio than any of the other heat harvesting methods, as long as you waste the steam exhaust and keep the water tank small. Any attempt to capture and condense the refuge would make it impractically heavy.
Sad thing is afaik nobody produces very small steam turbines commercially.
