Door has to be strong enough to prevent energetic particles from pushing it open.
Door has to use energy to open and close.
Door has to be able to discriminate based on individual energy level of atoms.
Door has to be able to predict exact trajectories of energetic particles to only allow a certain energy level through.
Walls must be perfect insulators.
Door must be perfect insulators.

Not understanding the value of thought experiments, just because we are unable to construct them using available materials and techniques. Sad!

Definitely overlooked by this Maxwell character

Oh in that case, I have a model where farts from bean burritos actively reverse entropy. Don't ask me how or why it would work in real life, it's just a thought experiment bro :^)

fyi, none of these are the reason it was unsolved before.
its already been solved btw.

Keep baiting dumbshit

>>8525764
it has only been successfully solved recently, now that we understand the thermodynamical implications of detection. A non-powered demon would not be able to detect the particles
>>
>>8528662
are you stating that fundamentally detection requires work to be done? why?

What if instead of a demon there is just a static hole in the wall that by a probabilistic miracle all the fast molecules happen to pass through?
It is still the same thought experiment sans demons?
