Vorts,The diode array is still available for development. It is said that the Second Law of Thermodynamics forbids devices that absorb heat while releasing electrical power but I don't see how this general law actually has a real ability to prevent diodes in the diode array from rectifying random thermal electrical movements and the array from aggregating the independent intermittently forward outputs from the constituent diodes. The mobile electrons in a diode sometimes have enough energy to flow forward through the diode of origin, climb to the negative terminal, and then contribute electrical power to the aggregate load.
