In this review, we discuss stylized models of classical dynamics, including non-interacting complex molecules in an ergodic billiard, A disordered hard-point gas and an abstract thermoelectric machine. The main focus will be on the physical mechanisms, unveiled by these dynamical models, which lead to high thermoelectric efficiency approaching the Carnot limit.
