OK - Not sure exactly how (or if) - this paper can be related to the Rossi device, which was why I sent it alone - but there is a vague notion that what Hagelstein has labeled "weakly n-type bulk layer" could be the Rossi "supported nickel nanopowder" filled with spillover H - to make it semiconductive, and that the emitter gets much hotter than it should at the expense of ZPE.
Thus, if there is a connection to Rossi, then I was wrong about PnP, and the E-Cat may be of the NpN configuration ... assuming that these two, Peter Hagelstein and Yan Kucherov are in the same ballpark with us on the cross-connection... However, my guess is that neither of them have even considered that this paper could relate to Rossi in any possible way; but if you want to write PH and ask if there could be a connection - and how it would operate - then be my guest... I also doubt that he is in the Cavity-QED/ZPE camp, so he would probably reject the implications out of hand ....

If thermal diodes exist, wouldn't the little buggers violate the laws of thermodynamics? Seems to me it would be Kinda like finding a convenient Maxwell Demon mechanism. ... or a Rossi mechanism Wouldn't thermal diodes essentially allow us to "pump" heat into a heat box where the stored thermal energy could subsequently be extracted to heat steam, turn turbines. :) OTOH, how would this differ from your basic mill of the run solar collector? ... does not need the sun?
