Waste Heat to Power

This one is kinda interesting;
From NPR:

A Lot Of Heat Is Wasted, So Why Not Convert It Into Power?


"One factor working in Scullin's favor: There's plenty of waste heat out there to be harvested. "We waste heat because of the laws of thermodynamics," he says.
i

Those laws state that it's impossible to use the energy in fuel to power a car or generate electricity without some of that energy going to waste.
"Thermoelectrics haven't attracted much attention in the alternative-energy world, but Scullin seems to be drawn to areas others have overlooked."

Are These People For Real?


From the BBC...http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32716749

"North Korea's Defence Minister Hyon Yong-chol has been executed for showing disloyalty to leader Kim Jong-un, South Korea's spy agency has told parliament.
MPs were told Mr Hyon was killed on 30 April by anti-aircraft fire in front of an audience of hundreds, the Yonhap news agency reports.
It said Mr Hyon had fallen asleep during an event attended by Kim Jong-un and had not carried out instructions.
South Korea said a senior military officer was also killed.
The news comes weeks after the reported execution of 15 senior officials."

I mean,
"anti-aircraft fire"?
