Im not an electrical engineer yet so I do not have enough experience with electronics to figure out what is wrong with this picture. So I figured one of the masters of electricity in this forum can tell me what the device will do. The short answer is that no device is a hundred percent efficient.

So i guess you saw that episode :slight_smile: I just wish they launched the chair into space, but back to the post.

I just did a google search, and although I am not a “master of electricity”, in that example makes sense. It doesn’t last forever so its not 100% efficient because some energy is lost to lighting the LED but I guess I can see how its more efficient because it charges the battery with the extra energy it has so its more efficient then normal. I don’t know. I was actually thinking of trying to build one of these =P.

I’ll bet they all wear tin foil hats too… I looked it over and it looks like just so much mumbo to me…

Great. Why do people believe such oddball things? Why does the government allow patents for oddball devices that don’t work? I could come up with more weird patents if you guys want me too.
