That's what I thought of immediately. A nice big fat bank of
capacitors should be able to take the place of any battery, and one
could monitor the voltage as a direct measure of energy consumed --
or stored. If this think really runs over unity, enough to be usable
for power (I doubt it does it at all, but just allowing Steorn the
same independence from practical demands as is necessary for cold
fusion at this time, i.e., excess heat is shown, but not enough and
reliably enough and for long enough to be practical for a net gain in power.
I wouldn't insist on a cup of tea, but I might insist on a clear
demonstration of excess energy. Let it increase the voltage on a
capacitor, steadily and repeatably, without slowing down or transfer
of energy from some other process, and I'd be impressed. Of course,
if the battery voltage increases, if you could use the thing as a
battery charger, that would be a great demonstration, eh?
My question, really is: what are they smuggling? If I haven't told
the story of Nasrudin and the donkeys and the border guard he meets
years later, perhaps I will.
