This book is a collection of two papers that had been published and another that even Arxiv dare not publish. The message is that the interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics by textbooks had been faulty because of the wrong assumption that our environment is mostly lossy. This is not true because outer space is much more vast and filled with vacuum at zero Kelvin temperature that does not induce any energy loss.
Loss is mostly due to friction, air drag and electrical resistance. These are called irreversibles by thermodynamics textbooks referring to the interpretation that we cannot convert energy from one form to another completely, which is 100%. We may not be able to convert to 100% but we can convert close to 100% such as 99.99% so practically it is 100% and this practically is widely used in calculus and numerical methods.
What is required is investment in resources. Friction can be removed by magnetic levitation. Air drag does not exist in a vacuum. Electrical resistance is zero at zero Kelvin temperature because of the superconductivity effect. Outer space does not have gravity and air. Temperature in outer space also can become zero Kelvin easily. Therefore lossless environment is much more common than lossy environments on earth.
Current interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is correct but trivial. It demands infinite precision which is impossible to achieve for any measurement or theory. It had caused so much misinterpretations that it should be rephrased to be in line with other scientific laws and practical mathematical considerations. Otherwise, potential inventions such as the Zero Energy Transportation systems will meet stiff resistance.
This is vital in the era of global warming and diminishing energy resources. It is not that we cannot achieve zero or very close to zero, losses, but it is just too expensive and not practical. Even when we only achieve 99% conversion efficiencies, the energy savings will be tremendous.

Biographie de Othman Ahmad

Othman bin Ahmad is a professional engineer registered with the Malaysian Board of Engineers. He graduated with BSc First Class Honours in Electronic Engineering at City University, London in 1981 taking various modules which included Computer Engineering. Later in 1986, he completed his MSc in Information Technology where he finished various assignments which included two integrated circuit designs and a compiler.
He worked as a Telecommunication Engineer at Telekom Malaysia Berhad, from 1981 to 2009 with breaks to complete his MSc and study leave at Nanyang Technological University from 1990 to 1993 where he also worked as a lecturer teaching Assembler and Loader. His main research as well as registered PhD topic was Computer Architecture. From 2009 he worked as a Senior Lecturer at University Malaysia Sabah for the Computer Engineering Department teaching Computer Architecture.
Retiring from UMS in 2021 as an Associate Professor in the renamed Electronic Engineering(Computer) program. His was awarded the ASDK by the State Government of Sabah for contribution to Sabah. He had completed many Telecommunication projects which include solar powered rural communication, and transfered to all the various engineering departments. He had published conference papers and journals which include indexed publishers.
He has self published only in eBooks at both Smashwords and Apple Books using research materials that include his own papers either published by other publishers or not. He has filed 6 patents at UKIPO, USPTO and MYIPO, with a few of them granted with titles such as Zero Energy Transportation System, Zero Aerodynamic Drag Vehicles, An Optimum Hybrid Vehicle, Optimum Collision Damage Reduction System, Imperfect Perpetual Motion Heat Engine and Simplest Word-size Scalable Processor.
Despite their controversial topics Zero Aerodynamic Drag Vehicles and Imperfect Perpetual Motion Heat Engine were granted by UKIPO. None had been granted b USPTO but the reasons for rejection are just absurd so need to proceed to the Supreme Court of the USA to get approval. He is active in self publishing in eBooks such as Smashwords and Blogs. eBooks allow more structured and thorough reading but Blogs and discussion groups allow instant backup of articles and views on certain topics which had come handy for inclusion in the eBooks.
The author may seem to cover a very wide topics but they were actually part of his expertise and hob...
