Captret - Capacitor and Electret

And references quantum tunneling as a possible explanation (and 2nd law violation), pointing to this article:

That link is kind of funny

"The second law of thermodynamics says that a closed system's entropy can only stay the same or increase, it can never decrease (5).

First a completely closed system is impossible thus the whole theory is pointless---next

The law can also be expressed as "It is impossible to construct a heat engine that, operating in a cycle, produces no effect other than the ahsorption of thermal energy from a reservoir and the performance of an equal amount of work." (6)

Now I have to wonder who in the hell came up with this "expression", this is not a fact it is pure nonsense. Again we are dealing with impossible and pointless circumstances in the phrase----"produces no effect other than", there is no know system or device in this universe that we know of that produces singular effects without other reactions or closed systems so again the whole expression is non-sensical---next.

"it is impossible to construct a cyclical machine that produces no other effect than to transfer heat continuously from one body to another body at a higher temperature." (6)

Here again we have a pointless statement which states the obvious, there are no machines that can produce no other effects, I hope this half-wit didn't win a Nobel for this little bit of genius.
Maybe I can get into the act---

"It is impossible to construct a cyclical machine that produces no other effect than to transfer sheer bullshit continuously from one person to another person having a higher intelligence."
Now where's my damn Nobel!

I take it this "Captret" idea is not simply the concept of
connecting a capacitor to an electret via a diode to collect
the charge?

After all, that is a very old concept which has been proven long ago.
Townsend T Brown already showed that in his extensive studies back
in the 1950s, with what he called his "Petrovoltaic cell"/"Gravity detector",
which was basically a composite electret. The charge was collected
on a capacitor via a diode, and he even found that the amount of charge
collected varied over time and could be related directly to gravitational
changes, and so used to detect gravity fluctuations.
So that's the static output of his "Captret" setup that varied with gravity.

How the above setup of a chemical battery with a diode and capacitor
compares to an actual electret is not clear to me. Why use a battery if
the idea is to use an electret?

@All,

Nicad = 7,60 and still climbing.

do you have a diagram of your set up?

@ibpointless2,

Just scroll up this page. I'm using the setup to the right in my drawing.
