Fortunately for me the endeavor, while costly, wasn't going to be so
outrageously expensive that I couldn't at least get a good idea as to whether I
was on the right track or not. In the end I think I spent somewhere around two
thousand dollars of personal savings in R&D, building my own POC, Proof of
Concept prototype.

rather interesting phenomenon too, an interactive condition that is easy to
misinterpret. However, because I had made a simple misinterpretation in my
application of physics my "flawless" math took me down a road of roses filled
with the best of intentions.

Fortunately I am every EE has seen a capacitor charged by thermal noise. :-)
This is not theory. Far too many times I have seen and worked with thermal
noise. It is a fact: At any given moment a capacitor connected to a resistor
will contain a certain charge caused by electrical thermal noise. :-)
BTW, those who reply to Steven Vincent Johnson's email please note the reply
address in his email does not go to vortex-l@eskimo.com So basically you'll
think the email went to everyone when in reality it would not. If you reply then
you'll need to change the "To:" address to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, could we please leave the subject to "Re: [Vo]: Proof of capturing ambient
