A much wider set of principles can be found in patent applications by George Samual Levy. In particular his published provisional filing 61567455 which can be obtained at http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair is intreaging,
My personal interest goes to the solid state versions of his claimed energy generators. By appying graded doped semiconductor slabs he claims to be able to withdraw electrical power by temporary periods of violated 2nd law of thermodynamics. The part that is key and needs some more prove by experts in my view is following part of his provisional filing where Levy claims that by themally shortcutting a graded doped semiconductor slab a current is flowing through such semiconducor. Quote: *"An analog of Loschmidt's adiabatic gas column thought experiment can therefore* *be implemented in a semiconductor with graded doping. Carriers in such a semiconductor* *develop an adiabatic temperature profile. If the heavily doped end and lightly doped end* *of the semiconductor slab are thermally short circuited, the temperature of the* *semiconductor at each end deviates from the adiabatic profile. The relative temperature is* *colder at the heavily doped end and hotter at the lightly doped end. The hot probe effect* *results in a current flowing through the semiconductor, which can be tapped by* *electrodes. This particular implementation combines in a single semiconductor slab two* *aspects of the Loschmidt's thought experiment: the adiabatic gradient in the gas and the* *heat engine (Seebeck device)."* We can further discuss if found interesting enough.
