Hi,
What they have constructed is essentially a magnetic "diode" between the plates,
which allows current flow in one direction only. We have discussed the use of
diodes on this forum before.

Dave, Of course, we have known about "dark current" and photocathodes
for almost 100 years, and also thermionic emissions are not new - but
here is the novelty. Fu set up magnets so that the field lines were
arranged to steer electrons in a way like MHD ... so that resulting
polarity
Looks like this experiment demonstrates a process which converts heat energy
into electrical energy. This has already been observed when thermal radiation
is emitted by a warm body. Also, electrical energy can be captured from a
resistor surrounded by a heat sink.
I am not sure why the
