This post is weirder than the last

Not sure why. But I've been rolling over this thermodynamics thing in my head.  From a little quick research I found out about Maxwell's Demon.  It is an imaginary situation invented by James Clerk Maxwell to break the second law of thermodynamics (entropy).  So far no situation has been discovered in which the situation can be true.  I was thinking about the photoelectric effect and how new solar cells can capture infra red photons and turn them into electricity.  Could this the photoelectric effect make Maxwell's Demon succeed in breaking thermodynamics.  Photoelectric effect only is feasable at high frequency radiation (certain colors of visible light).  What if it could apply to all frequencies of radiation feasably. Is Maxwell's Demon the photoelectric effect?  Did he unwittingly hypothesize something that wouldn't be discovered for another 50 years.  Maybe the photoelectric effect isn't complete yet. I probably have no idea what I am talking about but it is interesting to think  a little.  Not too much though.  I need to hit the library and do more research.  High school physics just ain't going to cut it here.
