You guys aren't still buying into this are you? You did read the part where he claims that his box basically collects and amplifies static electricity...right? You do realize that it isn't possible to power a car this way...right?
This is sort of like saying that you are going to power a hydroelectric dam by collecting and amplifying humidity...except the humidity thing has a chance of actually working. For those of you who slept through physics, collecting static electricity requires friction. You are basically forcibly stripping electrons from their molecules. It doesn't matter if the molecules are air or whatever, it takes more energy to strip them off than they produce (what do you know, the laws of thermodynamics are still in effect). Secondly electricity (including static) requires a positive and a negative in order to flow, collecting the electrons static) gives us the negative but where is the positive? Full marks if you realize it is the earth which means some way of grounding a moving vehicle (more friction). Thirdly amplification REQUIRES energy. It CONSUMES energy. It does not INCREASE energy. I won't even get into the fact that static electricity is a surface charge that normally collects on the outsides of non-conductors.
