However I am still missing an actual device, (or schematic), or even a description of a device capable of converting this purported heat flow into electrical power. I am also missing an answer to all three questions. The answer you provided sidesteps the important issues. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
