    We already can convert a heat differential into electricity.

    Converting “just heat” into electricity is impossible though, that would break the laws of thermodynamics and create a perpetual motion machine. There is heat literally everywhere, even the coldest things we have made are not exactly 0K. So you could create electricity for free anywhere.
