I lived in this house for 5-6 years before buying central AC. Mid-summer was toughest, fans didn't help that much. Typically, a 10-20 degree temperature would be fine most of the years. I'm guessing both of these methods aren't suitable for cooling a house. Solar power is much too expensive for me, unless I could figure some way to get George Bush to help out on it...

The basics were teo dissimilar metals bonded together, by cooling one side, and heating the other, you get an electrical current. By applying a DC current one side gets hot, other cold. The voltage and current need/generated didn't stick in my head, but that was many years ago. I'm sure if it was feasiable for power generation, someone would be doing it. The junction isn't too complicated to form.
