ORIGINAL: Real0ne Now as an added bonus due to the nature of this device, it attracts and converts lets just say stuff from the cosmos and one professor in Germany measured as much as 1000% gain at the output. RealOne, as an engineer, I can say to you that you DO NOT get more energy out of a device than is put in. The rest of your post ignores the fact that nothing is 100% efficient. Right now, we have the inefficiencies in the IC engine, the extraction of crude oil, the refining of it, the transportation of refined gasoline, etc. With an electric system, we have the inefficiencies of the combustion of petrochems/generation of electricity and the transmission of electricity. Having a cool method to transmit it doesn't change that equation. Compare the energy used to trigger anything, a shot from a gun, a nuke etc. With just a little energy you can trigger a large reaction as long as you have enough fuel to burn whatever. No matter how we want to reduce it, it still comes down to in v out. I do not think anyone knows preceisely for sure what is going on. Most theories lean toward the conversion of neutrinos to useable power. If you imagine it like a vacuum cleaner sucking in energy as it operates is the easiest way to conceptualize it. I was waiting for DS to reply - you appear to be conflating a supposed nuclear reaction with a more standard reaction in the consumption of fuel, and are misunderstanding a basic fundamental point. The nuclear reaction operates at a sub-atomic level releasing the atomic binding energy as heat within the process. More to the point however, the "more standard" reaction is merely the burning of fuel, which is all energy of a potential sort (said fuel, be it wood, coal, oil etc., is classified as an energy source), not just the initiating event (in this case the ignition that causes burning of said fuel) that causes the "reaction". Next we'll be talking about "Free energy" sources like light from a potato battery.
