The term quantum magic is silly.


It is what it is, a ratchet. It deals with individual causal events, the sum of which is a macro violation of 2LOT, clearly the individual event is not as it involves a very hot electron going to a colder region.


It is a ratchet that works, not just a theoretical one.

@MarkE, I am the first to tell people that simple diodes (vacuum or semiconductor) cannot harvest noise.

@MarkE, I think I have given before detail of the asymmetry of the Sebithenco that leads to its ratchet nature. I see no point in listening to you tell me what cannot work when I already have lots that do. In any case there will be an announcement on the subject of commercial devices on 20th August 2014.

Seriously?  You're going to balk over a term this early in the relationship?  So your worship...in your police-state-of-words can I say "quantum mechanism"?  Sheeesh.

It is what it is, a ratchet.

It seems pretty obvious to me that a ratchet isn't a macroscopic device which accurately describes your sorting mechanism.  If it was, a real ratchet would be able to sort things for free as well.   Which would put it head and shoulders above a quenco since it can also help me remove the water pump from a 1957 Mustang.

Calling something a "ratchet that works" is really no different than calling it "A ratchet that overcomes the problems which stop it from giving us something for nothing".  It's begging the question.

So with that in mind can we call it a "Quantum Mechanism" oh great and powerful Oz?

@Sarkeizen, I chose to discuss with you on the basis that you would have some manners. Since you chose to be rude and sarcastic I will end the conversation now.
