Is there a way to turn heart into electricity?

Say you had a metal rod, and somehow it was hot. Would there be any possible way to use something to take the heat from that rod, turn it into electricity and store it?

Yes. There are extreme and costly measures which satisfy



all the stated conditions to a limited extent.



For an usable answer provide:



Temperature of the rod and total heat in ( Joules) available,



the desired voltage and power, and the budgetary constraints.

Sure.

You could use a peltier junction to charge a battery. Not very efficient, but you could do that.

You can turn it to electricity by hitting something hard, but i dont think its able to be stored.

Below are two examples:
