There's no single interpretation of the 2nd law. You will find most physicists claim out right you *cannot* remove energy from ambient temperature in a closed and temperature controlled environment. What you describe as "nano scale thermal gradients" is properly termed heat. You can use the best temperature stabilizing equipment in the world and you'll still have thermal voltage noise in according to the equation V = sqrt(4 K T R df). Your description of "nano scale thermal gradients" is like calling vibrating air molecules "sound." Yes, if one wanted they could refer such heat as "sound," but it's not the proper name.
Again, those interested in the concept of an appreciably small device extracting kilowatts of usable continuous energy even in complete darkness please consider. There is no reason to sit on this type of research for years. A highly motivated individual should be able to get ***something*** going. Please, this line of research desperately needs as many people as possible. Hopefully someone can help or work with Charles Brown or you could work by yourself. Global "free energy" is vitally important.
