Is the Second Law of Thermodynamics Safe?

"Not even a demon can violate the laws of nature. New research verifies that the second law of thermodynamics is safe, even from cleverly crafted thought experiments." https://www.mnn.com/green-tech/resea...te-laws-nature

My comment in MNN:

The second law of thermodynamics is obviously false but a century and a half of brainwashing has blinded scientists to the obvious. Systems violating the second law are commonplace. Just an example - see the video below. Water placed in a strong electric field demonstrates perpetual motion able to produce unlimited amount of work at the expense of heat absorbed from the surroundings (no other source of energy is conceivable):

Davide Castelvecchi, 29 March 2017: "But thermo-dynamics is paradoxical. The second law, which also puts limits on how efficiently heat can be converted into work - as happens in a steam engine - is particularly controversial.. The law says that the production of disorder is irreversible. But some physicists argue that..." http://www.nature.com/news/battle-be...ats-up-1.21720

I thought that was the beginning of a revolution is science, an attempt to free science from the strangling hold of an obviously false law, and enthusiastically wrote quite a lot of comments. The second law of thermodynamics has long been under attack but a red herring deviating the attention to small, microscopic, quantum etc. systems has been very powerful so far:

Nature 2002: "Second law broken. Researchers have shown for the first time that, on the level of thousands of atoms and molecules, fleeting energy increases violate the second law of thermodynamics." http://www.nature.com/news/2002/0207...s020722-2.html

The truth is that MACROSCOPIC systems violating the second law of thermodynamics are COMMONPLACE ( see my comments he
