  1. 021708 Peaceful revolution driven by clean abundeace

    The second law of thermodynamics may be false conventional wisdom. Let's face the wonder of full heat use.

    The second law of thermodynamics was developed during victorian england's scientific and religious fascination with steam engines.
    Many people act as if this paridgm is inescapable.

    The second law is behind modern refrigerators needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. The interior coldness draws in exterior heat through the cabinet insulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The net thermal output equals the electrical input with energy not being gained or lost in this refrigeration system including its forced waste. Unencumbered refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it.

    It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity.

    Full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light  automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and horizontal transports.

    In a flourishing civillization, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminous signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people as individuals or larger social groups see fit.

    Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks.

    If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or
    teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones.

    Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in.
    This would improve performance and lower cost,

    Refugee communities would buildable quickly. 

    A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage, a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson (observation) Nyquest (theory) thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive direct current electricity when the electrica6bzDVgBhrhYl load electrical resistance  is equal to the array internal electrical resistance.

    Maximum calculated electrical power output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array.

    There are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter.

    Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab:

    Host crystal is silicon
      P type boron doped
    —–‐——‐—-___— Out
    🔻🔻🔻🔻
    ■■■■■■___ + Out
      N type phosphorous doped

    All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins;  the N type semiconductor cathodes or common cathode abuts the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights.

    Focusing on the composition of one simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type conductivity) on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type conductivity) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact.

    A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so t⁶he forward moving  electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap.

    Inside the diode, heat is absorbe; outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. 

    Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity.

    A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode.

    There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people, mostly as independent teams, will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of experiemental efforts.

    These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous..

  2. To my understanding the efficiency is prohibitively low and the cost prohibitively high. Another click bite title from this channel as this sort of new technology has been around in one form.or another for some te now, and the commercialisation is always the same – none!…. while inevitably one day it will happen it's not the day yet – don't get excited yet please!😊

  3. This is not new technology. I have fridge at my house which use the same semiconductor technology to cool staffs. it is reversable temperature difference can produce energy bur If You apply energy then it can be used as cooler or heater.

  4. #moon_solar at last! Seriously tho $qs quantum scape no annode solid state battery is worth following there is one other doing this that i just found out but no one has an actual validated product that i am aware of let alone one ready to be put to work by Volkswagen so this is going to be seen by actual customers "as real/realized" and that's where the data starts rolling in, #backtesting looking at expectations versus reality proverbia "rubber hits the road" as opposed to the infamous #vaporware great content but really is a lot "for real" going on big time now if that makes sense ahem "real innovation" ahem but yes always a lot tried that doesn't work in the World of basic science always a good point😊😊

  5. It´s yet another fascinating technology but not more than a curiosity: 1/100000th of the low density energy a conventional panel produces? I can even do better:) My watch is automatic, mechanical. It is powered by the movement of my wrist, it doesn´t use electricity at all. About 95% of the energy my wrist produces just by moving, it´s wasted because the watch just needs 5% to work. How about installing a battery that can store these 95% of wasted energy and than use it to charge the i-phone? And now imagine improving this concept and adapting it to shoes!!! If everybody had such a power-shoe …………….

  6. Climate change is “wreaking havoc” on the Earth’s water cycle, according to the Global Water Monitor’s 2024 report, covered by the Indian Express. Last year, water-related disasters killed at least 9,700 people, displaced 40 million and resulted in economic losses exceeding $650bn globally, the newspaper said. At the same time, there were 48% more record-dry months, compared to the period 1995-2005. In 2025, droughts could intensify in northern South America, southern Africa and parts of Asia, it added.

  7. You really need to consider how much energy there is available to collect without sunlight. Even if 100% efficiency is possible, is it worth it? Forget collecting energy from body heat: how about plastering ICE engines and exhausts with it instead? Exponentially more energy available to collect.

  8. Any electricity produced will be ridiculously tiny in quantity compared to our needs. The device shown is a discrete transistor style device. No doubt it can respond to long wave Infra Red, but the cost and energy put into the device means it will only ever be useful in places electricity is required at very low power and when high cost isn’t a problem. On a satellite or deep space probe in space, maybe. On your house – no.
