Re: I smell a scam. . . . (RL, whats this called?)
Isn't it referred to as a Entropy Demon? There is some famous thought experiment that posits a 'demon' (or some black-box device) that acts as an entropy pump. By supposing such a device exists, you end up with a contradiction to some set of fundamental laws and therefore prove that no such 'entropy pump' exists...
RL, do you remember this? I think we discussed it once...
