"Maxwell's Demon needs to avoid all contact with the gas on either side; hi-temp/velocity molecule impacts on the hot side, and energy-stealing contact with cold/slow molecules on the other will equalize temps/maximize entropy over time. "

"If you believe in the "fat/sticky fingers" problem brought up by Richard Smalley, this would never work. "
