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 separate

In the disclosed Maxwell's demon type of experiment from 2012, heat from ambient air was converted completely into electric energy, using a static magnetic field without producing any other effect. The phenomenon proves clearly that the second law of thermodynamics is not universally valid, ev
