Repeated for emphasis, in response to others' recent postings. The work
cycle envisioned by this researcher is 100% reversible.
To do work, some gas must expand to lower pressure, some temperature must go
from higher to lower. If not, their cycle must violate the laws of
thermodynamics.
In general this increase of entropy is inevitable, though counter to the
Extropian ideal.
I have always admired highly localized low entropy regions.
