"Smoking Gun" - finally!

Btw if you're going for nanoscale with that much power. Won't the chip melt? And what's the plan on actually buying/making these chips?

No.. CPUs run at around 90 watts.

put it up bro 

ill build it 

i have bout 10 000 diodes lol   

perhaps they are the wrong kind

hey if they are ...  ill just go get the right ones ...

so if you get free output well  why not add to it    such as amp it ...

ist!

As far as inexpensive high performance off the shelf diodes I would highly recommend the SMS7630.

And the replication page,

Let me know if you're interested and I could find the exact SMS7630 part number.

You can find those *natural* temperature gradients in all mater, all the time, even at a macro scale. Johnson noise is caused by natural microscopic temperature gradients.

There are all types of different noise. The main cause of flicker noise is trapped charges.

BTW, you can find a solution on my website (not the forum) in the replication page. I'm estimating that for about $50 you can replicate my diode array. I'm not selling anything, but you can freely find all of the part numbers there.

Yes,
But the trick is to implement such net tendency in some larger scale,to get higher levels of energy. If I remember Dr.Harold Aspden was quite busy in this kind of research.There s also company who developed a power chip-kind of diode effectively turning heat gradient into electricity.This is called Thermionics.

I wander if all those outdated IC chips going to landfill sites could be utilized for something like this.
Anyone tried measuring various leads on various IC chips to see if there is any voltage output from them?
