[Vo]:Series parallel diode array

[Charles M. Brown]

Vorts,

Diode arrays plausibly rectify and aggregate Johnson noise 
to absorb heat directly from surrounding air or water 
(that can not be made more uniform in temperature by 
further stirring) while releasing equivalent electrical 
power.

The concept requires nanometer scale diodes fabricated in 
parallel series to be practical.

I have been overly committed to the parallel series 
arrangement. The series parallel arrangement may be more 
practical for the feasibility investigating prototypes 
that we need first that use near microscopic surface mount 
discrete diodes. It is easier to build high voltage high 
impedance prototypes suitable for common high impedance 
voltmeters this way. The series form is additive for 
voltage and impedance but it also makes the diodes operate 
so the lower current /higher voltage / reverse polarity 
mode predominates. Johnson noise is low power so overly 
large discrete diodes are not driven far from their 
interpolated zero bias impedance and the predominance is 
slight.  

700 SMS7621 diodes configured as 7 strings in parallel, 
100 diodes in series per string, may have an impedance 
near 10 meg ohms.
