(1) That's really cool (2) No such thing as one-way mirrors. Just semi transparent mirrors seperating a significantly brighter lit and a significantly less bright lit space. That's also why it needs all those LEDs.

So 1 -> 2 and 2 -> 1? I don't see how this is a mirror at all, one-way or otherwise. If anything it is a window. Light coming in one side is simply existing the other side.

But you can build an optical insulator just fine.

Yes, you can dump one stream in a black body, getting only black body radiation back. But you can't actually build a "diode" for black body radiation and cheat thermodynamics. (Which is fine for most applications for optical isolators of course.)

To anyone reading along: Thermodynamics is both the easiest and also the most definitive test, if some idea is viable, or just balooney. I blame the hot weather on my misstep ;)
