Ø http://phys.org/news/2013-02-german-student-electromagnetic-harvester-recharge.html Yes – thanks for remembering this, Stewart, It appears that this effort will at least provide us with a baseline for determining how much benefit there is in capturing EM “smog” by various means. A long life AA battery has about 2.6 watt-hours (9300 joules) of useful energy, and a rechargeable AA about half of that. The German “harvester” requires 24 hour to recharge - and thus it can capture about one tenth a watt-hour per hour of recharge time. The ADGEX, if we can believe their spiel, is capturing another form of energy instead of background EM/RF smog, which allows it to put out 120 lumen or light emission for 12 hours, with a 2 hour recharge. The time of the recharge is stated in one place as 2 hours but longer in another reference, so this detail needs to be firmed up. 120 lumens is equivalent to 2 watts - in a better LED lamp array. Thus the ADGEX will go thru 24 watt-hours in a single recharge, which is then rejuvenated at a rate of 12 watt-hours per hour, Therefore, this is about 120 times more energy capture than what is available from EM/RF smog. That is very significant – if we can believe it. Since the early product is for sale – then the best way to verify the claim seems to be to buy one and test it. If the flashlight works reliably, there is no reason (in principle) with mass production that 10,000 of them could not power an automobile and recharge overnight Jones Side note: As to what the circuitry consists of – it appears the batteries contain nickel. Notably, in many types of batteries, hydrogen is the charge carrier and nickel is found in one or both of the electrodes. The dense form of hydrogen known as IRH (inverted Rydberg hydrogen) would be an ideal charge carrier, especially in the form that Mills calls “hydrino-hydride” but BLP apparently could not bring this to market. Have the Russians done it for him?
