I suppose though in the case of the CPU the metric you want to maximise is the heat dispersal not electricity produced.

Could work well on things like exhaust pipes

If it works, I think the waste heat from server farms should be the first target.

Yes that'd be good. The figure I'd like to know (maybe I missed it) is how much it reduces the heat by

It seems like the devices would insulate the server-farm. That might not be worth it, because you'd need extra cooling to offset the higher insulation.
