    What true "free" energy requires is an exotic material (or technology) that has an extremely broad absorption spectrum and an extremely narrow emission spectrum.



    That still will not give you any extra energy and also will not be very efficient as you'll lose a bunch during the conversion.



    I just love how suckers love the cheap magic and mystery.

    This is not a man in a tinfoil hat. Or if it is, it is a man in a tinfoil hat with a lot of money he'd like to part with.

    It would allow static noise to be absorbed and an AC waveform emitted. So it's not "free," nor does it break the laws of physics, but it's energy that wouldn't otherwise be used for anything.



    In other words, this is a black hole.

    All it takes is one foolhardy investor.

    Black whole has negative entropy.

    This won't be.

    You'll be "catching thermal noise", but you'll also be dissapating it... at least in the thermal vibration of the lattice.

    Good luck.

    Uh, 'free' energy devices are possible. They're just usually totally impractical. Saw it on mythbusters once (the gas canisters and the trough) so it's truuuuuuue! Well, it's energy but it's not free.



    A free energy device would need to output more energy than it uses. At the moment any device claimed to be a free energy device is taking energy from sources that haven't been taken into account. Saying that, if petroleum was 100% efficient, we'd all be laughing, it's around 20% efficient isn't it?

    Steorn is just an anagram for Sterno.

    I think you may have cracked the case.
