15. A method of isolating a temperature gradient in a gas, comprising:
imposing a primary temperature gradient on an adjacent gas with a second thermoelectric material;
configuring a first thermoelectric material that is complementary to the second thermoelectric material and in direct contact with the second thermoelectric material and in direct contact with a heat sink and a first electrical conductor to provide a first current and create a temperature gradient from the heat sink to the second thermoelectric material; and
configuring a third thermoelectric material that is complementary to the second thermoelectric material and in direct contact with the second thermoelectric material and in direct contact with the heat sink and a second electrical conductor to provide a second current and create a temperature gradient from the heat sink to the second thermoelectric material.
