New stretchable alloy boosts heat pump efficiency 20 times over metals (interestingengineering.com)

Seems like a worthy breakthrough, but the reported effect only produces temperature differences of 4-5K. They conjecture they can go to 22K deltas in the future.

Can an effect that small be practically scaled to grid-level usefulness, efficiency notwithstanding?


How much is that in F?
