I am just telling you the truth as I see it and I have 30  years worth of experience in electronics to draw on to help me form my impressions and opinions.  As a general comment, you would be wise to factor in the advice and suggestions from people that have more experience in something that you don't have experience in.

Finally, no takers to explain why the $10 TV tube experiment overturns the 2nd LoT?  I personally don't see that happening at all.

Someone with your electronics experience could easily do the $10 experiment and produce current from an isothermal environment. (which does overturn PART of the second law)
 
Or you could do the experiment that was posted by "TheCell" a few posts back. Again, current from an isothermal environment.
Or, being a good skeptic, you could just believe you are right and keep crying about how impossible it is. (this is by far the easiest and is recommended for general life failure skeptics)
 

 

I see that quentron.com site changed layout once again. Preparing for the launch?

SUCCESSFULL REPLICATION of Philip Hardcastle Pentode test.

Confirmed VIOLATION OF THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS. Yes we can, extract work from a heat reservoir, with no temperature difference.

The second law of thermodynamics express "This means it is impossible to extract energy by heat from a high-temperature energy source and then convert all of the energy into work. At least some of the energy must be passed on to heat a low-temperature energy sink"

We use a pentode,  model EL34, grid  G3 (Pin 1) connected to the anode (Pin 3) and measuring the current to the cathode (Pin 8 )

We used a home electric oven and electric grill resistor further inside, the tube was placed inside a glass dome with the resistance burner to reach a higher temperature than the oven.

We get currents up to 0,3 micro ampere, when I get to a temperature of about 350°C, but could not raise the temperature as the control card of the oven was damaged by the temperature.

The current was up from the 0,0 micro amps at room temperature to 0,3 micro ampere, the positive lead of the tester was connected to the anode and grid, the tester negative lead was connected to the cathode. By exchanging the polarity of the tips in the current tester polarity change by the same amount in the display of the tester.

We hope to put a video tomorrow better done and reaching higher temperatures and thus higher currents.

The test was conducted by myself plus two friends as witnesses, Smith Rivero and Yeruel  Bustamante.

Hi Elisha, nice work.
Thanks for posting the results.

"...To see that this is not science fiction but the biggest breakthrough ever you need to see proof, and that proof must be provided by an independent scientific body, you simply will not believe me just because I told you so.

So I offered $10,000 if someone would do the proof of concept experiment and NOT get an electrical power output, a sort of "prove me wrong" challenge, but there were no takers, so the challenge has been increased to.............
$25,000..."
 
 

 
   

@Elisha

Very nice, well done.

I could get access to the time/equipment at a Russell Group university lab via a research scientist friend.  I have no doubt that the experiment would be replicated.  From there though, would the university be willing to endorse it?

Now if there was a challenge to replicate something using various pure metal foils (for example) producing useable power with multiple layers in an oven for example with a prize for first/best validation then I am sure there would be uptake.

If you managed to successfully replicate a Quenco chip, a very hard start of the art thing to do at the moment, you wouldn't need an oven, room temperature would do nicely.

As a reputable University like Stanford are attempting to fabricate the chip at the moment if they are successful to make the layers flat enough so it won't short circuit than we will all know soon enough whether Lord Kelvin was a big as twerp about thermodynamics as he was about heavier than air flight.

Maybe I am being a bit hard on Lord Kelvin as the weirdness of quantum mechanics were not discovered when he was around.
