Re: "Can the Second Law of Thermodynamics Be Circumvented?"
Every machine such as a power plant, car engine, rocket engine, air
conditioner that converts heat to work or turns work into the removal of
heat is proof of the second law. I am an engineer and many, many machines
would LOVE to violate the second law, but we haven't built on yet.
