Another overlapping mechanism to add into the mix for the Manelas
effect, which is probably a "Maxwell's Demon" in its own special way is
related to the organizing mechanism mentioned by Chris... and it has a
name: Doppler cooling
Doppler cooling usually involves photons with frequency tuned slightly
below an electronic transition in the target to be cooled, but there is
no reason it could not involved phonons which are slightly "detuned" or
reddened (i.e. moved to a lower frequency as a Doppler sound effect). In
fact this is the cooling mechanism behind the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube
- for which this forum was named.
Thus the magnetic magnons/phonons will absorb vibration in one vector
and radiate slightly more energy in all other vectors, due to the
Doppler cooling effect.

If a specially shaped magnetic field can drop the temperature of
an apparatus, shouldn’t we conclude that random motion (heat) is
somehow being converted into directed, useful motion? That
Maxwell’s Demon has been found?
