At this rate he's gonna somehow find a car powered off a heat pump
Or a heat pump dishwasher? If he finds a way to turn a heat pump into lighting he's got it made.
There are heat pump dryers. They plug into 120v and can often work without a drain if your willing to empty them manually afterwards.
Honestly, a heat pump dishwasher is probally fully possible but not necessary, as they only use like 5 gallons of hot water.
If you want to dry clothes with a heat pump would a dehumidifier be even more efficient?
Stirling engines have powered generators. No reason you couldn't run a light on one. However it would be impractical for any real world house use for a long list of reasons in not about to type up.
that would probably be more up hyperspace pirate's ally because it would almost certainly require a few thousand degrees on the hot side
