I suggest "heat recovery systems". There are large very expensive industrial options (e.g., HRSG and steam tail on the back end of a combustion gas turbine) but almost no small-scale options and even fewer *cheap* ones. Come up with something that works and is cheap and can be made from commonly available parts and you will be famous. Don't expect an easy solution and don't just tag along with everyone else. Don't expect to use platinum or rubidium or gold or palladium or materials that can only be found on Mars.
