The article examines one of the most important problems of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and synergetics using a practical example. The aim of the work is to study the possibility of obtaining a constant electric voltage from Gaussian stationary white electric noise using a nonlinear circuit. A schematic diagram of a converter based on the use of Schottky diodes with low built-in resistance and pulse width modulation is proposed, implemented and experimentally investigated. The stable performance of the converter has been demonstrated. The general conclusion is made that no real chaotic dynamic system can be brought into an ideal ordered state. The results obtained can form the basis for the creation of an alternative and renewable source of electric energy.
