It seems all heat exchangers, just exchange one temperature for another. Which seem a little unimaginative.
I was wondering if heat exchanges could be devised that exchange heat for Pokemon collector cards, or gold, or Bay City Rollers vinyl, something - anything that's not quite so OCD.

This Idea will face the problem that in order for
something to be exchanged, it first has to be
"collected/retained". Heat exchangers typically don't
include any collecting/retention method. |

You will be happy to find out that advances in meta materials and nano-structures are currently doing this. Not with pokemon cards, granted, but amazing nonetheless. There was an idea on here ages ago about a photon bomb, using similar materials that had not at that stage been discovered. wonder if I can find it? |

According to Google, they tend only to figure in Transformers...although which is more fantasy-driven HB or Transformers, I couldn't say. |

You would need the amount of energy produced by a
thermonucler explosion to produce more than a few
milligrams of matter, according to the E=MC(2)
equation. |

To be honest, I did realise later on that most engines do effectively exchange heat for kinetic energy. |

I just wish their was a more efficient exchanger that didn't demand so much for their services. Maybe if we force them all on the Euro... |
