On-Chip Maxwell's Demon as an Information-Powered Refrigerator

If I have a bucket of bouncing balls, and you send me a stream of bits that tells me the configuration of those balls, suddenly my ability to do work has risen because I can now efficiently extract energy from those balls. In that sense, energy can be transmitted as information.
I don't think there's a more direct way of doing what your question suggests because sending energy (whether it is informative or not) always means that energy is sent. Because energy is conserved, if my energy goes up, then somewhere else in space something else's energy has gone down, and that change is, by definition, sending energy.
Basically unless we are operating at absolute zero (zero kelvin), all particles are moving around to a greater or lesser degree (aka heat).
Entropy, iirc, comes about in physics from having regions of greater or lesser "heat". With the understanding that over time, particles in hotter regions will travel to colder regions until there is a uniform distribution (heat death of the universe ultimately).
The demon was about filtering this movement to reverse the process, by blocking movement from hot to cold, but not from cold to hot.
But as the demon/filter can't operate without producing waste heat itself, and that heat will not be subject to the filter, it basically can't do its job.
That is at least the undestanding this layman has reached about the subject.
