So, good news for the vaxxed then?

[Magnum44]

Will it generate 1.21 GigaWatts?

The word “limitless” is in the headline and in the text because it is undefined. Some will think that there is an infinite amount of power available.

But it isn’t.

This seems to yield small amounts of power, and looks like it can be useful.

Thibado = Thibadeaux. If one of his co-authors was named Boudro, I would worry....

Wow, clean, limitless power generated from graphene.

I guess Scotty was wrong - you CAN break the laws of physics, Cap'n!

Thermacore came very close to the big time when they were granted a patent for a solid state thermal diode. Hagelstein was one of the inventors. Yet another mystery in this field. https://patents.google.com/patent/US6396191 Thermal diode for energy conversion Abstract Solid state thermionic energy converter semiconductor diode implementation and method for conversion of thermal energy to electric energy, and electric energy to refrigeration. In embodiments of this invention a highly doped n* region can serve as an emitter region, from which carriers can be injected into a gap region. The gap region can be p-type, intrinsic, or moderately doped n-type. A hot ohmic contact is connected to the n*-type region. A cold ohmic contact serves as a collector and is connected to the other side of the gap region. The cold ohmic contact has a recombination region formed between the cold ohmic contact and the gap region and a blocking compensation layer that reduces the thermoelectric back flow component. The heated emitter relative to the collector generates an EMF which drives current through a series load. The inventive principle works for hole conductivity, as well as for electrons.

Him: “Here...stick this in your yoo-hah.”

Her: “WHAT?”

Him: “It’s a dropcord, dummy. The car battery is getting low and we need to recharge it.”

Interesting, but don’t hold your breath waiting for this to scale up to run your house.

"Physicists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene"

... along with snake oil that can cure cancer and bad breath.

Violates second law of thermodynamics to extract work from thermal energy without dissipating heat to a lower temperature heat sink as well.

Look up “Maxwell’s demon” for an example of how subtle nature can be counterattacking these free work machine schemes. It will invoke quantum mechanics if it has to :) . In this case I think it will involve back EMF.

(Not criticising ShadowAce, criticizing the premise.)

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Thermal to electrical. That is conversion, not creation and therefore not limitless.

[JimRed]

...clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors,”

How low? Cell phone low? Clock radio low? Time and temperature display low? What devices would find it a suitable power source?

[Track9]

Tesla would be very excited.

[Parmy]

So, that’s why the vaccine, so-called, main ingredient is graphene oxide.

[Born to Conserve]

The energy has to be coming from something other than the random thermal motions. This probably amounts to a microscopic version of those old watches that you wind by shaking them.

This strikes me as a step away from your favorite subject.
