This caught my interest, did you intend to start a discussion? The comments on the topic, in the link you posted as a reference, suggests that this is not considered mainstream science.

I think the only one that is not mainstream (and is, in fact, complete fantasy) is the "gravity diode". The others are real things.

No idea what the point of the thread is, though.

Thanks! I was not sure about Magnetic diode, and I had no intention clicking the link.

Agree, I was wondering why the list mixes mainstream science and fantasy devices. It is not a very helpful list, but I'm open for discussion if the OP returns to the topic.

It is a fairly mainstream technology magazine (I think I may have met the author, years ago).

Thanks again, I've learned more than I initially hoped for when I commented in this topic!

 

Side note: Maybe the topic was intended for the puzzles section, as an "Spot the Odd One Out" quiz? You would have responded quicker than me... :)
