In response to Paul and Michel and Steven I will only repeat what I wrote.
Obviously you did not understand what I said. Read it again without your
knee-jerk prejudices. Besides, in order do work by extracting energy from
ambient heat with no heat sink, Paul's diodes would need to rectify a
current. There won't be one there.
<<you are taking this to mean that the noise voltage is generated solely
by the temperature of the resistor whether or not there is a current
flow and this is what the equation seems to suggest; however, this is a
sound engineer's equation, not a physicist's. I think it means that if
the resistor is ACTUALLY resisting current, then the noise voltage is
dependent upon temperature and the "shot noise" depends upon the
current. I put it to you that when there is no current though the
resistor, there is no electrical noise at all. Still no free lunch.
<<There is free lunch for *intelligent* thinking beings. :-)>>
No, there isn't. Therefore you are not intelligent, despite your self
aggrandising, egotistical blustering. The free energy field is littered with
the metaphorical corpses of thousands of people like you who thought they
had some brilliant idea. They all came to nothing. Their ghosts are
sustained by gullible or crooked people. Their ideas are those of the
deluded or fraudulent.
