New Invention Generates Electricity “Out of Thin Air” – Offers Clean Energy 24/7
We live in amazing times.
If this can be scaled up, it would be incredible. Quote:

I can power a clock with a potato. The question is scale.

Notice that the article suspiciously leaves out the size of the device in question and the amount of power it produces. Both are extremely important factors in determining the feasibility of said device.

I physics you don’t get something for nothing. Solar directly captures energy from the sun. Wind energy is energy captured indirectly from the sun. Getting energy from matter is not reusable energy.

I know of a guy who invented a carburator that will give any car 100mpg but the oil companies killed him before he could sell it.

Why so hostile to basic research?

Most people have been conditioned to react like this when new energy sources are brought up. Google Bloom box.

What is the "fuel" that is being converted to produce electricity by this device? |

I imagine is an electron transfer between the water and the matrix when contact is made. Not enough info to draw anymore than that. Scalability, by products, longevity. Who knows

200 years ago, photovoltaic science didn’t exist, and there were no theories, even, that would account for it.
Tell someone that you could put this thing out on a clear day, and electricity would come out of it? They would think you are crazy. |

Not to mention their entire concept of electricity was about lightning and static!!

Every nuclear power plant provides clean energy out of thin air.

The electricity in a lightning bolt comes out of thin air too.

Because the crappy reporting gave no information about what kind of power this "invention" creates. Electricity has voltage and current. Voltage is potential energy, current is kinetic energy. They both matter for the feasibility of a power source. This is the reason why you can power your entire home from a generator the size of a footstool but if you covered your entire roof with photovoltaics you'd be lucky to run the refrigerator and the vacuum cleaner at the same time.

Wrong. Lightning is a result of atmospheric disturbances, driven by the sun. The entire atmosphere is a giant heat engine. The power source in the case of lightning is the sun.
