The Hungry Daemon: Does an Energy-Harvesting Active Particle Have to Obey the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

Thought experiments like Maxwell’s Demon or the Smoluchowski–Feynman Ratchet can help in pursuing the microscopic origin of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Here we present a more sophisticated mechanical system than a ratchet, consisting of a Hamiltonian (non-Brownian) active particle which can ha...
