I upgraded now and in the case of magnetic dipole I use both rotational degrees of freedom. Yet the effect is very small.

That's what I assumed for electric quadrupole and it also holds for magnetic dipole. I will abandon this idea now and try to see if some electron gas is forming as a result of the net charges. Electron gas has very high thermal conductivity and could maybe explain the cooling effect. David -- David Jonsson Sweden phone callto:+46703000370
