So, good news for the vaxxed then?

[Magnum44]

Will it generate 1.21 GigaWatts?

this stuff?

Here we go again.. ..

We can charge our own smartphones with our tongues.

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....

Hi.
It’s called a flux capacitor.

I got an old one in the Delorean.

Might last a few more years back to the future.

If I don’t post anymore, you will know that the flux capacitor failed.

No extended warranty calls on the Delorean.

"Will it generate 1.21 GigaWatts?"

No...

[rktman]

Not “currently” available in our house. We remain graphene deprived and “NON GMO”.

Wow, clean, limitless power generated from graphene.

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

I've been wondering where all this extra energy is coming from.

I think I dated her in college.

Is it effectively hygroscopic?

They can be their own power supply.

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.
