That's not a true statement. Permanent magnets are magnetic materials with relatively high coercivity. When one studies MCE (Magnetocaloric effect) they learn about such effects such as micro and nano magnetic avalanches, etc. It is possible to rob ambient energy from magnetic materials as I have my proof in way of highly sensitive temperature measurements with certain magnetic materials. > It's type-1 perpetual motion: violation of the first law, which is > conservation of energy.

An LED connected to a resistor generates photons. All LED's dissipate energy below the forward voltage, as there's no lower limit. Furthermore, there's no upper crest voltage limit to *real* noise. The photon energy emitted from the LED comes from the resistors ambient energy. If you focus the photons on a solar cell, and connect the solar cell to a battery then you are essentially converting the kinetic energy in ambient temperature to potential energy in the battery, which does *indeed* drop the overall temperature with in the closed system. :-) Regards, Paul Lowrance [snip] ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!
