You can convert heat energy into rotational energy easily enough...
it's what you car engine does.  There is a lot of heat energy to
convert though.

I suspect that there isn't enough heat energy in ambient air
to drive it through their system and have any energy left over.
In fact, I'd guess you would have to input energy.

Imagine if it did work - a self-powered refrigerator!
