Exactly!
Dear Madhatter,
Thanks for the input. I agree that the introduction of exotic materials into this situation will be very beneficial. That is why I suggested introducing NITINOL into this. To be sure, this is a very exotic material! It's "shape memory" behavior is precisely one of those functions that operate in the middle ground between the Quantum and the Macro. The mechanical energy produced by NITINOL emerges from the MOLECULAR LEVEL, and not either of the "atomic" or the "macro" levels.
From my point of view, I do not believe that the development of a "thermodynamic equilibrium" is possible in the Natural World. As long as the planet is rotating and any given location alternately faces, and then faces away from, the Sun, the development of a set of conditions where the temperature does not change is unlikely.
This natural, thermal fluctuation so impressed Nikola Tesla, that he called it "the ideal energy source" for mass exploitation, especially in the middle latitudes.
Thank you, again, for your input.
Peter
