I went to an NREL conference in San Francisco where an ex director of Sun Microsystems invited us to see the amazing new technology he was investing in.
It was a plastic vitamin jar with alooooooominum tape stuck to the inside on a spool and a copper rail connected to the positive output of a ridiculous heath robinsion capacitor step up transformer. When he turned it on the air crackled, you could smell the ozone and the jar rotated slowly. He got the inventor on the blower who said because it had no return path for the voltage it must be pulling in zero point energy and setting up a rotating gravitational wave.
What he had actually invented was a DC motor. A really shit DC motor. We turned off the lights so he could see the voltage breakdown through the perspex frame it sat on. Couldn't convince him though. Free energy spazzes never listen to science.
