Prove it. Your misinformed wild guessing doesn't count.

I still wait for a working contraption. Please

I'm.still waiting. The Drinking bird, is a great example of how heat engines require cooling and heating. Temperature difference.

LOL... Right.

Sitting there running in a completely homogenous ambient environment. Simultaneously "heated" and "cooled" by energy derived from the self same ambient air surroundings in complete thermal equilibrium.

Lunatics like you helped launch a smear campaign to destroy the livelihood and reputation of John Gorrie making the "scientific" claim that he was a fraud because his ice machine was "impossible" and violated the laws of thermodynamics.

I hope you can tell the difference between John Gorrie, (Father of refrigeration.) and Carnot (Father of thermodynamics.)

John Gorrie made many fraudulent claims of trying to cure yellow fever with ice, and draining swamps because the foul gas was causing it. One very archaic ice making machine, yes, lots of fraudulent claims. An impressive accomplishment considering he was a doctor, that seem to have a better understanding of contraptions than medicine.

Carnot described a spot on Carnot engine, leading to the spot on Carnot theorem. Give the beginnings of the analytical study of thermodynamics and heat engines. Amazing for someone that was breaking out of the caloric all heat passes through an engine, to conservation of energy, theory. Begining to show us that only some heat is rejected, the rest converted to work, modern theory. Notice that he had only one error and he was the first to point it out as an error. The later theorem also points it out. It just took many years to become widely accepted. Ignorant people today still get the history wrong.

John Gorrie's ice machine, although having aspects of modern ice machines, would be considered old and archaic in comparison. No one would build one for effective ice production. Furthermore Stirling cryo coolers are replacing the Gorrie/Linde process.

Calling him the father of refrigeration is hardly a smear.

1000 over unity scams do not prove the next over unity invention a scam. Nor does smearing 1000 good scientists, prove the next inventor's claim correct. A scam is a scam, often only identified by science.

Please, do not place me in the league of ignoramuses making religious claims about inventions. A well known pastor smeared the idea of flight by saying "if God intended for man to fly, he would have given him wings." He, later, went home to his two boys, Wilber and Orvel Wright. Religion has no foothold on science. It doesn't disprove the existence of God, but it does disprove the all knowing prophet. Men that think they know by the power of dogma, are often proven wrong by the power of science. Learn more science.

In other words, I'm still waiting for your working contraption, not your wild guessing and wild claims.
