lol as an electrical engineer i def have to agree he has duped alot of people.

If you go ad crush some rocks up and put them in an aluminum cup and insert a copper wire all you need is a little tap water and that's a battery electric cell. (Its not the rocks though its the impurities that dissolve off of the surface and the salts added to tap water like NaF, they form an electrolytic cell) 0.4 volts is useless to power anything other than small lcd clock. And you dneed 3 of those cells in series... The current will be on the order of micro amps...

Electron Volt (eV) is energy and A volt is a unit of potential difference. You can not directly measure eV on any DMM.

His dumbbell sized unit that lights a single LED.... Some sand mixed with any salt or a weak crystallized acid like vitamin c.
Put that in a pipe with some copper and aluminum plates... will produce a voltage when moisture from the air gets into the sand/acid mix.

Non engineers are easily fooled by this kind of thing. All EEs know this is garbage and its a hoax.


Oh did anyone else notice that stage light spray painted gray on his balcony. Really people dont believe it just B/C its on TV
