A method of power generation is provided that uses one or more structures made of zirconium tungstate in a convection fluid that rise or fall with temperature to create a reverse convection current cycle. The method can include heating the one or more zirconium tungstate structures to cause a decrease in volume and sink in the convection fluid. The method can include cooling the one or more zirconium tungstate structures to cause an increase in volume and rise in the convection fluid. The method includes generating power from the reverse convection current cycle.
