Good Thermal Electic Devices Coming Soon

A Norwegian research team claims to have broken the barrier to cheap thermo electric power.

As Natcore is already in the planning stages of tandem solar cells, I wonder how far off triple, or quadruple layered cells are? It seems this technology could be also be applied to the cells so they catch the photo energy, and thermo energy, all in one thin film.

A Australian company already makes a cell that uses water to capture the thermo energy, boasting of 4 times the efficiency of normal solar cells, but how much hot water can you use?
