Raw LLM Responses

Let's reframe Earth's low diversity abundant ambient heat as a thermal energy waypoint between heat and other forms of energy. I am on a 60 year quest to overcome the second law of thermodynamics . that began as a teenager inspired by reading View from a height,  Doubleday 1963, a science anthology by Isaac Asimov. He first wrote very convincingly about the  principle that energy is conserved when changing form then wrote much less convincingly about the concept of entropy. The concept of entropy is stronngly accepted to this day after being promoted by a prominent astrophysicist, science popularizer, and Quaker, Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, who considered the second law of thermodynamics to be the most fundamental and universally certain law in all of science. He believed that entropy never decreased so the universe faces an ultimate death by heat stagnation so somehow the universe had to start with low entropy. Eddington had a deep metaphisical side so he also believed that God was beyond the relm of science. Theologians used the second law as proof of God. This is unsound proof because God could alternatively be supreme over an eternal non doomed universe. Energy changes form without gain or loss. Uniformity or diversity is not, in itself, a form of energy.  Therefore entropy is an extraordinary claim burdening the law that energy is conserved even if it is changed in form. Thermal energy's almost universialy observed present practice of a partial  transformation range with an unusable residue is an inelegance. Because the second law is intensely accepted it is hard to find people that want to prototype devices that may falsify the second law. Therefore I am posting this essay as a comment on YouTube to attract teams or exceptional individuals with access to suites of complex equipment to first, build exploratory prototypes that could prove the concept, then make any easily seen possible improvements to improve robustness and consistency in any process that makes successful small batch replicated proof of concept prototypes.  A lot of small sample working device trinkets can then be made to be introduced and handed out widely to people at media conferences. A low power proof of concept prototype would power a LED in an eyecup with Inspectable parts and assembly and socketable dummy chips as controls. Subsequent conferences would be called to report news of more powerful prototypes powering more powerful samples that can be offered for examination. Go ahead and start to build something inspired by this introduction without my involvement. We can meet after there is solid crowd verification. After small scale prototypes of various types are made with widely developed processes many enterprises will be able to think of fitting scale production. There is no need to have one manufacturer emerge. All competent manufacturers should develop their processes without exclusivity or forced dominance. I don't think I have outstanding abilities at this phase so I'll help but mainly get out of the way. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be almost free. Chips could have  energy recycling sophisticated srructures combining microscale heat pipes and light and electricity paths built in. Full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with reduced ElectroMagnetic Pulse pickup which eases further protection, self sufficient LED lit automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, amphibious factory submarines, nonstandard dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and free range transports.Some electrical equipment groups could be consolidated into local networks when suitable. Liquid nitrogen cooled superconducting networks would become practical. Fire safes would maintain contents at a desired temperature in extreme heat or cold for years. In a flourishing civillization, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles, lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robots and robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminous signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people as individuals or larger social groups see fit. Human enobeling communities could be built quickly. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of greenhouse gasses out of our environment, hypothetically networked instalations, either a few big ones or many small ones using clean  electricity, heat, or refrigeration and producing desired side products would be built. A simple rectifier crystal can, just short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage, a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson (observation) Nyquest (theory) thermal electrical noise. Max Plank anticipated that ambient thermal noise would become usable with advances in technology.  In 1973 I filed for US patent 3890161A DIODE ARRAY for an array of metal1/ insulator/metal2 diodes that refrigerate while concurrently producing electric power. The patent was granted in 1975. It was opened to the public domain in 1992. Development is in the public domain while granting me writing attribution. The plausible net electrical filtrate from diodes can be aggregated in a first grouping of separate diodes in  consistent alignment parallel. After a primary level of grouping that preferably is in parallel where current is additive, compound parallel and series where both current and voltage are additive, networks can be built to provide desired DC current and voltage. Within limlts, parts of the  network can be shorted out or open circuted without electrical or chemical harm. Widely scalable electrical power always paired with equal refrigeration is thus possible. The efficiency of each diode is low because the nanowatt random  power within each diode doesn't rectify well. This inefficiency affects the performance but not the equality of the thermal absorbtion and the electrical yield. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive direct current electricity when the load electrical resistance  is equal to the array internal electrical resistance. Maximum calculated electrical power output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. There are a billion measurment cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter. Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab: Host crystal in this example is silicon or germanium   __________   -out 🔻🔻🔻🔻P type boron doped ■■■■■■N type Phosphorous doped                       +out All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins;  the N type semiconductor cathodes or common cathode abuts the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights. Hopefully a lot of people, mostly as independent teams, will join in developing the DIODE ARRAY. Please share the successes or setbacks of experiemental efforts. The topic deserves crowd financing, discussion and prototyping attempt action. Crowd development would be resistant to confiscation or burial. At best there could be science quality colaboration. These rectifiers could be various types, such as: • ​Field emission diodes: An array of needles the needles made of carbon nanotubes or another electrical conductor tipped with an emmisive material probably LaB6 abutting straight in and also separated by a thin insulator or vacuum gap from a metal plane substrate surface. • ​Schottky diodes: A metal needle-to-semiconductor junction diode, the semiconductor may be Gallium Arsenide or Indium Antimonide. • ​Silicon or Germanium crystal diodes: A well-established technology. These diodes may have poor performance in this application These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous.
