Tom Schum , Paul Lowrance, a few others, and I expect to
have a self runner in the form of the diode array soon.
This is a device which adheres to the law of the
conservation of energy by absorbing ambient heat heat
while producing DC electrical power. The diode array
should scale to any power level greater than a microwatt
in proportion to the number of diodes used. Some of our
difficulty is that a law known as the second law of
thermodynamics ( 2LoT ) has been derived from general
observation since 1845. I believe that 2LoT does not
forbid the rectification of random thermal electronic
power in small diodes and that a great number of
consistantly aligned diodes can be aggregated in parallel
and series to scale up the net rectified power.
We are already a small group beyond the control of a
single person before we have a convincing open
demonstration. I expect the technology to become more
diverse as more people join the craft of developing diode
arrays and their applications.
I am already trying to anticipate some of the consequences
of the invention.
I obtained U.S. patent 3890161 to release the idea to the
world.
