Heat engine powered by gravity induced heat differential

[tom_phuser]

I'm quite often talking with people at parties about ways we might be able to solve the energy crisis. A couple of months ago I met a talented engineer at such a party, who had some rather revolutionary ideas, which he explains are "watertight" and would absolutely leave physicist dumbfounded, if they actually read his work.

Yesterday he sent me a couple of links of his work, that he now wants to make public.

The first one below explains why a heat differential will form in static body of gas, he then goes on to prove it mathematically:

The second one explains that this heat differential defies the second law of thermodynamics and that this supposed "law" is just based on ignorance of contrary evidence:

The third one explains that you can make a perpetual motion machine out of any type of gas subject to gravity, even if it doesn't cool with altitude:

He explains to me that most of the devices depicted are not very effective at producing energy, but it is very easy to prove that they work. He says that this will finally expose the ignorance of the scientific community and that all the great ideas out there will finally start being taken seriously.

Greatly appreciate your thoughts
