So, we have four alternatives.chrismb wrote:The difference between a good and a bad idea is usually down to whether the proposers are prepared to do a lot of work, for months or more.Aurobindo wrote:The difference between a good and a bad patent is a lot of work (a few months or more).chrismb wrote:Well, do it!
They think that they have a very good idea (if they are right then it is a great discovery) but they don't want to apply for a patent because a ''marketable'' world is stifling and oppressive.

A Maxwell's Demon ?
You are right: they think that they have discovered a Maxwell's demon.rcain wrote: as to the idea itself, a quick scan leaves me with the impression they are attempting to flout some major law of thermodynamics. but i haven't worked through in any detail, so that might be an unfair hunch.
certainly looks simple enough to build and test though. they should just do that before anything else, surely.
1- Do you think that a Th+ (a higher temperature than the hot source) and a Tc- (a lower temperature than the cold sink) can "appear" ?
(without spending mechanical energy !!!!!!!!.....)
2- Is this really a new heat pump process or principle ?
(if it is... then it's very interesting to study, no ?)
3- What do you think about the efficiency of this heat pump ?
Even if this is not a Maxwell's demon (because in-cre-di-ble) do we have a new heat pump process?
Someone to answer these questions?

thank you

The International Conference on Renewable Energy Utilization (ICREU 2012) have seen the publication of this paper:
http://www.monotherme.com/pdf/research_ ... t_pump.pdf
This is now a peer reviewed and published "Maxwell's demon" !
Clausius theorem will have to be amended.
