You do not require a working model or proof that something actually works to
patent it.

No electrical background is needed to tell you this doesn't work, just
basics physics.

This web site was created (it says) in October 2000.  If they had just let
one of these things run, not connected to anything else, starting then and
running until March 2002, all skeptics would bow down before them.  Of
course, with all perpetual motions _scams_, they never do this.  There are
always excuses about how it is going to work soon, how you just need 100
watts in to create 105 watts out, we just need this battery to get it going
and it runs for a day, but once we perfect it, it will run forever.....

Don't sell your Exxon stock yet.

There is a long history of this kind of fraud.
