I read an article in Science Daily 'Physicists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene'. Can someone explain how to take this from the physics science experiment to the engineering prototype and implementation stage? Is this technology going to revolutionize the mobile energy field or will the physical limits of atomic thermodynamic energy not produce enough power for simple electronics?
Now if these batteries were hypothetically created and released into the wild, I see a entropy issue here. The claim in the article is that this is limitless energy. The laws of thermodynamics have to be preserved, so the energy is being absorbed from the environment.
If enough energy is absorbed from the environment over a long period of time, will this lead to a heatless world and potential ice age? On the other side of this, will it be potentially beneficial for society to absorb excess energy out of the environment and store it to reduce climate change effects? Are the current amounts discussed in this new technology too small to make any impact on a large scale?
