'''Maxwell's demon''' is an imaginary being invoked in a thought experiment that illustrates the [[second law of thermodynamics]]. In the thought experiment there is a gas-filled container with two chambers and a small trap door in the partition between them. The 'demon' opens and closes the door to collect faster moving gas [[molecule]]s in one chamber and slewer ones in the other chamber, hoping to create a difference in [[temperature]] between the two chambers.
