insulation would work with it, but energy must be able to flow (wursti said, didn't he?).
so that means some special kind of semi-permeable membrane is needed, isn't it?
Yeah, as I said you need a proton exchange membrane. You can't build such one with solid material and drill holes in there, not even with a laser, these holes need to be much smaller than that. I don't even know whether you could use a membrane with holes, you need a membrane with the characteristics of a lipid bilayer, but it must be impermeable to electrons and let protons pass through. You can only achieve that using bipolar polymers which assemble as a layer.
IDK, wursti, it's very difficult to build such a membrane, and they are trying to build one in laboratories around the world. I'd say you're wasting your time. :*)
