I was looking for a specific piece of freeware.
A search engine suggested Tucows
In the past I have always had very good luck with Tucows.
Today I look and I see wow; major game change over there. Out with the old; In with the new.
Oh well, found a real winner on SnapFiles, so, all is well. In fact, looks like they are doing better than before. Hooray for capitalism and innovative thinking.

Tucows, wow what a switch.
Haven't been there in years!

Software aggregators (if you want to call them that) have all devolved to the point where they pretty much all include "a little extra" which may or may not trigger your anti-virus. YMMV.
I wouldn't trust any download they may carry.
If you can google for the software you're after, I'd say you're better off looking for the author's own web site and getting it from there. Which nowadays might very well lead to Github.

Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space - IEEE Spectrum[^]
Presumably I am reading that wrong.
"Energy harvesting using the cold of the universe is still under development."
Best I can tell all of the examples are using the 'cold of the earth'. It has nothing to do with the universe.
And not very efficiently either compared to other technologies. Obviously if the roof is covered with that then it is not covered with solar panels.
The company mentioned, SkyCool, also claims the same thing on their site.

"by rejecting heat into the cold universe."
Far as I can see the system is using heat radiation (versus conduction and convection) to disperse the heat. Is there something in that to insure that it actually 'reaches' space? Versus of course just being absorbed into the atmosphere?

thinking out loud without any idea of all of this works...
could we harness the power of material contraction to generate energy in space ?
There is a big temperature difference between being in the sun and in the shadow.

I can't imagine any system designed to harness what little power involved in that process would recover more than it, itself, would expend.
But, I'm no physicist.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that seemed to be missing. I kept expecting them to have cord dangling from a satellite or something. It all just seemed to be handwavium.

Technically, that's not heat - as that requires not being in a "near vacuum" that space is.
If heat is "just" the wobble of atomic particles, how do you radiate that into "nothing"?
Abusing gravity might give more energy. This would generate "heat" (wobble of atoms) that might be harnessed. Getting cold from a vacuum is something we could actually test on earth - I'm looking forward to fridges and air conditioning based on the principle that you can get rid of heat using a near-vacuum

The same way the Sun emits heat into nothing - through electromagnetic waves/particles.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

That's not particles, is it? Show me a "electromagnetic waves/particles" that cools stuff?
Radiation (which is more than magnetic kind, including x-ray, but not particles which have mass which waves don't have) is a form of energy; if it interacts with particles, it increases their "wobble", their temperature.
Find me a wave that decreases a particles wobble? What wave does that?
--edit
Silly me did not say that the sun looses heat, in forms of radiations and photon emissions. Just one small thing; it uses trillions of nuclear explosions to do so. So yes, if you can generate that amount of heat, you may loose a bit due to radiation (and actual gravity, pushing away mass).

Light is not one or the other, a wave or a particle. Light acts like both at the same time. That's why you hear about radio "waves" at the same time that you hear about photons.

Light "behaves" as both, which does not mean it is neither one. Radio is a lot slower a wave. Fun fact; the first wave that aliens see, is a speech from Hitler coming from earth.
The difference is important; not every wave is as fast as light, and light is not just a particle. It is, however, energy. You need to convert matter into light to loose "energy" and cool particles, and the particles need to be very agitated before they think even about radiating energy.

The source of the energy is irrelevant. Anything above a temperature of absolute zero (that is everything) will radiate energy and it's "temperature" will drop, ultimately to infinitesimally above absolute zero. It's why the universe is expected to eventually be uniformly cold and dark.
