A quick look at the linked paper, which contains a diagram of the B-M, shows that it's apparently a magneto which is being used to pulse-charge a lead-acid battery. (Of course, I mean the kind of "magneto" which provides the zap to the spark plug in old outboard motors, not the "Magneto" that gave Professor X such interminable problems over the years.) So, you start with a run down lead-acid battery and you pulse-charge it and the result is that you get more out of it than you expected. This violates engineering rules of thumb right and left, since the "rules" describing lead acid battery behavior were determined using uniform low-rate charging, not pulse charging. But rules of thumb are not physical laws, and the machine can't be run closed-loop, of course, because the whole effect here is (presumably) the consequence of pulse charging. Lead acid batteries are wonderfully complex gadgets and the weird consequences of pulse charging are well known, if not exactly well understood. You can buy gadgets that will do this, off the shelf, and supposedly they'll make your batteries last longer and perform better. IIRC they cost only a little more than ordinary battery chargers. But, they're not OU, and it seems pretty seriously unlikely that the B-M is OU, either.
