Interesting. Of course no where in the article or in the Youtube video does it state exactly how much energy is produced by the device. A rather important piece of information to leave out.

EWICON feasibility study (click 'A_Winters_EWICON.pdf (17.7 MB)' to download)

Section 6 (pgs 53-60 in the pdf) is the complete EWICON system study.

Based on current tests, it nets around 1w/sq metre (page 60).

Fascinating... and indicative of just how creative energy research is. One of these days a small development like this might lead to a major breakthrough.

There's no shortage of energy out there.
