I was just thinking the same thing. Large numbers of thin rods of different
metals extending through the core from dark side to light side, and you have a
thermocouple.
On the other hand, if you want to get really wild, make it a photonic computer
and use the light of the sun directly.
It would be immune to gamma rays and Electromagnetic interference, and if you
used volumetric data storage, you would probably never run out of space.
