My first statement is only correct if the putative cooler is an active cooling system. By that I mean it is behaving like the diode equivalent of a heat pump. A heat pump requires an external input of energy that is equal to or greater than the heat transferred out of the system. In this system the

The paper says that it is working at a temperature of 135 C, which is relatively elevated. I agree that this does violate the second law, in that it is doing work but there is not a heat source and sink. However, as my son, who knows more about physics than I do says, the second law is not so

If it is a cooler, it appears to violate the first law. If it is an energy converter, it appears to violate the second law. I guess the question is: what is it? Harry On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 12:58 PM, Daniel Rocha wrote: > The diode is working as a cooler. > > 2012/2/28 Harry Veeder >> >> Ac

On the CoE "balance sheet" - we have light emission, which can be converted into watts equivalent. If the electrical input were to be 60% of that value, and the rest is assumed (correctly) to come from ambient heat, then there is no CoE violation. This would be ultra high efficiency in the sam

According to the second law you can only get a system to do "work" if parts of the system are at different temperatures. In this situation the system is a diode and it does work by converting heat into light. It is hard to tell from the description, but I am guessing the entire diode is at an ele
