A Solid-State Maxwell Demon

Conrad, have you watched Dr.Daniel Sheehan's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBp_SPJAOJc ?
To me that is 'good enough'.

For me it is not enough. If I had done his presentations, I would have put a thingy on the table which at least makes a LED shine for 45 minutes (the duration of his presentation) with his new power source (heat from the environment).

Without that we get just hot air from his body cavities. I can do hot air by myself without Mr. Sheehan.

Mr. Sheehan is a very smooth talker, but even the smoothest talk will not overcome the second law of thermodynamics.

Science is not about believe, it is about conclusive experiments. If you like believe, fine, go to the church, you will be rewarded endlessly. But there will be no power generation, just power consumption.

Every scientific theory will be changed or abandoned the moment a physical experiment (not a thought experiment) disproves it. But without experiment, no change. Every good scientist considers theories to be temporary figments of thought till new ones have to be written based on experiments.

Greetings, Conrad

His device (it was actually built) was to prove the concept; NOT a practical device.
LoT2 is statistical law, not an absolute law. A statistical law does not apply to individual particles.

Fine, for you it is enough proof, for me not. And it does not matter what I believe. May be it also does not matter what you believe? I can not build such a device therefore I have no more interest in it. I will resume thinking about it after a device is available which produces at least 10 mA permanently. Everybody can measure 10 mA without resorting to statistics.

The promised critique that explains what the errors are in Dr. D'Abramo's paper "A Note on Solid-State Maxwell Demon" has been published. You can download the pdf from my website for free at:

"Critique of the Paper 'A Note on Solid-State Maxwell Demon' by Germano D'Abramo"
by Zoltan Losonc

If something is unclear, or you find errors in it, then please let me know

Zoltan thank you for the explanations in your paper.
My confusion that Germano has created is gone now. I have a hard time to believe that a famous physicist with a PhD in physics could get all that so much wrong. I mean, I don't believe that he wrote all that in ignorance and he didn't know what you have explained. It is just not possible. It must have been a deliberate intent to deceive. Looking at the list of refuted debunkers on this thread (mainly from Quora) with PhDs in competent subjects, it is clear that there is a conspiracy to suppress this invention.
