Charles is a gentleman. Paul is an extraordinarily arrogant thug. If it is
possible to effectively cohere Nyquist "noise", I hope Charles can do it.
Similarly, I hope Paul never succeeds. Neither is ever likely to get useful
power from ambient temperature.
By the way, the ridiculous debate about the radiation from "both sides"
has mutated slightly - Paul originally said it radiates X watts PER SQUARE
METRE from both sides. He is now leaving out the capitalised part (because
he secretly realises his mistake and is hoping that we won't notice...). As
"both sides" of the object have twice the surface area of one side plus a
small bit extra from the edges (but this is getting silly...) it logically
follows that the amount of radiation should be twice the figure Paul used
(as Horace immediately pointed out). Paul was guilty of "fuzzy logic" Q.E.D.
Michel pointed out that Paul's phraseology was ambiguous and he is French!!
Why should we need an English major to verify something that is obvious
(except to an arrogant troll). Crawl away back under your rock Paul, re-read
John Winterflood's comprehensive demolition of your idea, and stop bothering
us.
Emotionally, but correctly, yours
