That's also impossible. Anything that does work generates heat, it's a fundamental law of thermodynamics.

There is no such thing as a thermally neutral mechanism, because all energy is eventually thermal. You can reflect heat, as in you can prevent heat from being added into a system via thermally neutral mechanisms but you can't remove it without exerting energy.
