Ok....whatever you say. No tech, your no value to me.

If you talk of concepts or ideas or theory, we talk to high class people.
If you talk of money and finances and investments, we talk to middle class.
People who talk about other people, are trying to pull themselves up or drag others down. (bottom feeders either way)

He has been asking questions throughout, it was only (really) you who decided to start an argument!
I gave up asking questions when it was clear that nobody could really answer them - sarkaizen has some good questions, why not 'save face' and respond with answers?!

I guess even if the major questions cannot be answered (and they haven't been) then at least you are keeping this thread at the top of the list!!

Dude, I've made two points.  One Philip agrees with - that he sucks at management - which of course should imply something about his next deadline and the other he's been unwilling or unable to formulate an answer to - which was that he's violating information theory (and probably computational complexity theory)Why not just talk about all of the shortcomings of Philip and his hypothetical device?   Unless you have an agenda for keeping free thought down!  Philip doesn't even have a single Quenco - it's hard to call this a technology in that sense.

Ok, a simple one which I can't get my head around too well (although the answer could be quite simple)!:
How does I2R apply to quenco as a lossy system?
For example, with the 1cm^3, how does the quenco not go into thermal runaway if its powered by heat?
And if its powered by heat but it cools as it runs - where is the break even point where it fails to operate?!

It's looking more like a messed-up peltier to me with no practical method of maintaining a differential across it (cheaply and space efficiently).

As I implied, maybe I am missing something, if you can let me know the answers that would be awesome.

I thought the same thing, with low voltage output and high current, there is going to be a lot of heat that in turn would produce more current.

Additional layers to increase the voltage would help solve much of the local heating but when viewed correctly, there is no real problem.

Suppose you have a low voltage quenco between two heat sinks and only a heavy copper wire shorting the circuit.
The ambient heat will provide electron flow which in turn produces heat in the wire and in the heat sink. This heat originally was consumed from the environment inside the box and serves to help cool the wire and heat sink which reduces the output. However nothing actually changed since the heat produced is indeed the same heat that was consumed.

The process in this case may trap some of the initial heat from the environment inside the box in a loop within the heat sinks and wire, but when disconnected the heat would again balance out to starting conditions.

If you had two boxes, one with the quenco and heatsink and the other with the shorting wire, then the heat form the quenco would accumulate in the other box and the quenco box would become colder until infinity, except the process would become slower and slower as it cools.

The reason is that eventually in the colder environment the random encounters between electrons will less often occur that will energize any single electron with enough energy to tunnel the barrier. This is where a thinner barrier will allow the device to operate to a lower temperature, but will also lower the working voltage of each layer.

Of course, Theory is the word at this time.

Trying to talk to Sarkeizen is like spitting in the wind.  It is best to ignore.  He is overly impressed with himself and will not listen.

I have stopped reading his posts.  Let's all just move the conversation without him, and if he responds, ignore said response. 

Yes, you are correct! It always takes two to argue.

With that I must say : Sarkeizen my friend, all we do is argue anymore, So I'm leaving you.
 

OK, Rewind:
Do you see any real questions in there?

I think that is the most stupid pointless question you have asked so far, and you do set an amazingly high standard in that respect.
