Quote Fool : Your statement was: "Tesla's "cold hole" theory has been physically tried, resulting in failures." "The statement was directed to Goofy. He asked for evidence. His viewpoint is what's in the balance." - And MY viewpoint is, that your answer is the worst bun...

I think you are spot on, Jack !

The human mind follows Lenz´s law. It will resist a change and create a force in the opposite direction . . .

Fool is a good example of this ;-)

But I am still waiting for answers from him ? ? ?

@Fool "it by itself, is not "wrong" to call ambient energy free energy" Nice ! An answer at least. So perhaps YOU have misunderstood and biased other people without reason ? " Tesla's "cold hole" theory has been physically tried, resulting in failures." I am s...

@Fool-quote : "Cold hole theory is a violation of both the first and second laws, hence a perpetual motion, over unity, fantasy scheme" Hmm, again a grunt from the hammock . . . So the thermopile analog he used to visualize his idea, was violating "booth" 1´ & 2` law ? ? ? Wa...

@Fool Ups ! It´s very hard for a high-grade over-teacher, to answer a simple question, I will try once more : (I quote my self again) "So Tesla wanted to convert the heat in the air to mechanical energy. The heat/energy comes from the sun. Is it then wrong to call that energy free ?" And :...

Fool, just to keep my self updated, can you please answer this simple question, that you just seem to ignore : (I quote my self again) "So Tesla wanted to convert the heat in the air to mechanical energy. The heat/energy comes from the sun. Is it then wrong to call that energy free ?" And ...

Quote Fool : "Tesla died just as the second law of thermodynamics was being solidified" He died in 1943, so ? ? ? "It doesn't boil down to the definition of "free energy" So what is your definition of free energy ? " Tesla's "cold hole" theory has been physica...

Fool, you clearly don´t understand what Tesla means, when he uses the term " free energy". That´s because you haven´t even read his little book about it. But here is a "free" link to it : https://teslasciencecenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/THE-PROBLEM-OF-INCREASING-HUMAN-EN...

I think this video explains the heat/energy transfer in a proper way, even if it´s some sort of a "statistical simulation" : https://youtu.be/0P0R7D2sMQI?si=gRI9KHhilN3rKXDe - And here is a gift for you, Fool : https://carnot-legacy.sciencesconf.org/?forward-action=index&forward-contro...

Maxwell`s Demon.png Like the picture, we perhaps always imagine the gas molecule's hurling around, bumping into each other or into walls or piston tops. But then what's in between the molecules' ? ;-) I imagine the container or cylinder is "packed" with molecule`s. They are touching each ...

@Fool, Quote : " we may assume that thermodynamic language has to change in the future to be more aligned with the real empirical phenomena and, even more, according to the causality of the underlying phenomena. Article “Thermodynamics: A Misconceived Theory” (Hans Fuchs 1987) Quote Children an...

Quote : "I've done a lot of experiments trying to run a Stirling engine on ice, with ice on the bottom. I was very surprised and puzzled to find that this did not work very well." I am sure, that I have read somewhere, that Sterling constructed his engine with the power-piston on the cold ...

Tom, I really admire your patience with this "Fool". But like Don Quixote, it is . . . . In my (practical) world, efficiency is the relation between what you put in, versus what you get out. Please, read again : What YOU put in ! So if the input is 1 Kelvin, where does "the rest"...

Again definition on Joule from Wiki: "A result of this similarity is that the SI unit for torque is the newton-metre, which works out algebraically to have the same dimensions as the joule, but they are not interchangeable. The General Conference on Weights and Measures has given the unit of en...

Hi Fool, Not to offend your calculations, but we have to agree on the definitions. Quote: "P1 = STP = C 101325 Pa (Pascals) (N/m^2) = 14.6959494 psi The given starting, Standard Temperature and Pressure, STP." (on 273,15 K) Regarding STP from WIKI : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_t...
