A method of heat energy transfer. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of establishing a temperature gradient along a first direction in a heat reservoir with a medium and having a first end portion and an opposite, second end portion defining a length, L, therebetween, wherein the first direction is from the first end portion to the second end portion, such that the first end portion has a first temperature, T h, and the second end portion has a second temperature, T i < T h; and applying an electromagnetic field in the heat reservoir to establish an electromagnetic field gradient along a second direction to generate a driving force to transfer heat energy from the second end portion to the first end portion.
