Abstract :
One of the previously reported linear models of open quantum systems (interacting with a single thermal bath but otherwise not aided from outside) endowed with the faculty of spontaneous self-organization challenging standard thermodynamics is reconstructed here. It is then able to produce, in a cyclic manner, a useful (this time mechanical) work at the cost of just thermal energy in the bath whose quanta get properly in-phased. This means perpetuum mobile of the second kind explicitly violating the second law in its Thomson formulation. No approximations can be made responsible for the effect as a special scaling procedure is used that makes the chosen kinetic theory exact. The effect is purely quantum and disappears in the classical limit
