They don't, but depending on one's understanding an perspective they can be described as violating. The point is that just because something can possibly be described as a violation does not mean that there are perhaps other perspectives that may understand them without such violation.
The paper claims to generate energy "without a temperature gradient." If there's a hidden temperature gradient somewhere, then the paper is still incorrect.
Given the extremely small power levels, I expect that if it's not a hidden temperature gradient (eg between local air temperature and local radiant temperature, similar to PV) then they're actually seeing some sort of static electricity or air movement effect.
