Comment: There are some important improvements in this new version. (1) The radii of the trajectories of the thermal electrons are not determined by their speed v (three dimensions), but the speed component u (two dimensions), which is perpendicular to the magnetic field. And we actually need to formulate a Maxwell’s speed distribution of two dimensions, and, not a volume distribution, but a beam distribution. (2) We added several new and fine figures of thermal electron trajectories to demonstrate that controlled by the magnetic field, the number of thermal electrons migrating from emitter A to emitter B really exceeds a little than the one from B to A, resulting in a potential difference between A and B, and enabling an output current and a power. (3) We have added some related mathematic equations and improved obviously the descriptions of many parts of the paper.
