May we begin with a completely symmetric version without the 6eV mesh?  Would you agree that such a version will not perform any work on its own?  Is it not obvious to you that you must then add any work to that system that you take out?

That is of course what I have always said. The point was before in trying to explain complex surface and interfacial physics the audience did not seem to appreciate the other issues, so when a few days ago someone asked me to explain it again I came up with the dual vacuum diagram, it has the simple advantage that absent the 6eV mesh it is by mere logic determined to be in balance, this takes away the complications.


The significant thing therefore is what happens when you self bias a 6eV platinum mesh off the 5eV collector, think about it, it is obvious.

Since eV are a measure of energy, inserting a 6eV source inserts a tiny bit of energy.  It seems obvious to me that virtually nothing happens.
