Look Ma, No Batteries!

"But new devices eliminate the need for batteries by harvesting "free" energy from the environment"

That link set off the alarm bells. Steorn and Orbo have made great claims regarding their much vaunted technology but still no demo nor public disclosure.

The inclusion of Steorn and Orbo with the possible legitimate progress by "Vibes" and Perpetuum Limited tends to make one suspicious of their research and product(s). To their credit their claim to fame is that the do extract some electromagnetic energy "from the atmosphere or vacuum" but not really the energy the 'free energy freaks tout."

Don't expect the new "Batteries" to replace chemical dry cell next week or next year!
