It would be yet another FE claim where the claimant, rather than spending time to "close the loop" and build a self-acting demo unit, instead stirred up lots of publicity over some measurements. Imagine if P&F had kept the palladium cell a secret, and tried to license it's use. WHAT use? (( ( ( ( ((O)) ) ) ) ))) William J.

Re: [Vo]:Capacitors for Steorn
Yes, good point William, that's the way to make a capacitor both large and fast. However, if their claim is that they produce more heat than they consume electrical power as Harry said (some form of heat pump maybe?), then the capacitor voltage could drop even if their claim was valid couldn't it?

Actually, the Well, that's true of supercapacitors. They take seconds to discharge during a direct short, not microseconds.
