Diode Array Superior New Energy Source

This sounds interesting, if the capacitors could be build could a lay person make this work with the help of an engineer?

The capacitors for a voltage doubler / tripler circuit are quite easy to make they are standard off the shelf components. It's very difficult to integrate capacitors onto a silicon chip.
 
I understand diode conductivity in simple terms as caused by an equilibrium between the drift away of mobile carriers predominately of one polarity per diode region and the charge of the dopant ion which released the mobile carrier. This produces a stratified depletion region of little conductivity between the junction and a normal part of the region. Johnson noise produces an average voltage proportional to the square root of the resistance. The voltage is associated with the depletion region. When the voltage is of forward polarity, the depletion region will shrink and conductivity will increase; when the voltage is of reverse polarity, the depletion region will expand and conductivity will decrease. This leads to a preferential flow of current in the forward direction which can be aggregated over the number of diodes.

No no no no. Simple terms are the same as wrong here, because it's not simple.

You've never had any education in this subject area have you, another case of a little knowledge being a bad thing i'm afraid.

How big do the capacitors need to be, could you use silver atoms (strategical placed on the surface of a silcon chip) and force a covalent bond between it and the chip. I don't know whether such a thing can be done or whether a few silver atoms could act as a good capacitor.
 
RE 63: One complexity which clarifies where the Johnson noise applies is that forward current crosses the narrow depletion region by tunneling. Johnson noise affects the flow of the tunneling electrons.

The diode resistance instead of the current can be plotted over the operating voltage range. The resistance changes radically near 0 V.

I saw a case where an assumption requiring that the Second Law be true was part of a mathematical proof that the Second Law was true. The Second Law is a tightly held paradigm.

A paper, Realization of Maxwell's Hypothesis An Experiment Against The Second Law of Thermodynamics Xin Yong Fu et all, Shanghai Jaio Tong University described an experiment where a static magnet rectified the flow of electrons between two similar low work function plates in a vacuum producing electrical power. The output stops when the magnet is removed and reverses when the magnetic polarity is reversed.

Fascinating. Bob thanks for the water annalogy. that helped a bit. I've never seen the words thermo coupler mentioned so many times.

Why don't you address the points concerning your proposal. It took 75 years to prove the maxwell's demon couldn't work. I challenge you to find the nanotechnology (links) that would allow you to circumvent the 2nd law. I do beleive it can be achieved, but not through conventional means.
 
Muser,
Do you believe that a machine can be built that will convert the heat held in a reservoir at one temperature into another form of energy cooling the reservoir while releasing this other form of energy?

It's not a case of what material to use it's a matter of the plate area that is required to produce capacitors of any size. If making capacitors on silicon chips was easy then de-coupling capacitors would be built in instead of having to place them externally as close to the chip as possible.
 
I believe that the nano paddle wheel shown with elastic flaps that bend circumferentially and rest in the position shown would rotate counter clockwise under the impact of gas molecules of uniform average temperature. The system would cool as mechanical energy was exported. A wheel with rigid slope and face teeth is not expected to rotate under thermal impact because the efficiency of momentum transfer to circumferential rotation and the area of the exposed surface compensate for each other such as there is no net torque. Flexing breaks the standoff as it increases the efficiency of a counterclockwise impact and decreases the efficiency of a clockwise impact.

Sorry...

But last night a daemon called Maxwell broke in and wove this hammock out of cosmic string...

The door part of Maxwell's demon and Smoluchowski's trapdoor works. There is little beyond doors in a Smoluchowski's trapdoor array so it should work.

The door on this room "works". Mostly, it's just sat there, not doing any work.



See?








I thought not.
 
KI, why not do a little research on the diode array superior and come back and tell us if it is possible. In fact you could ask the question on alt.engineering. If you stay much longer (without a credible solution) crispy and techno will try and have you for lunch.
 
Let's look for ways to escape the dire extremes of the Second Law. Finding some could greatly benefit civilization.

I believe that an array of nanometer scale nozzles will rectify the movement of gas molecules; the large openings of the conical pores will preferentially expel randomly moving gas molecules if the gas pressure is high enough to have a lot of molecular collisions within the pore.

For a pressure (difference) to occur you need to apply energy to the system.
 
Hydrogen gas molecues at 300K have the kinetic energy of ~3,800 miles per hour. The nanonozzle array is imprinted with a structual bias that will bias the molecular motion to recoil out of the wide end.

On a cubic nanometer scale gas molecules will make pressure pulses where they hit a surface even if the temperature is uniform on a cubic millimeter scale.
