Walter Owens has come up with a device which he claims extracts free and ubiquitous static energy for practical use. "My machine draws the static electricity from the air, as well as producing more. That charge then goes into a coil system that magnifies the charge and converts it into DC power." -- Owens (Nov. 2006) [1] (http://www.andalusiastarnews.com/articles/2006/11/18/news/372news.txt) He expects that his next prototype will produce enough electricity to power two homes. He thinks that this technology could also power cars, airplanes, trains, enabling them to go nonstop for 20 years. "It creates the voltage so you can drive anything you want to drive." -- Owens (Oct. 15, 2007) While his dreams of immediate, low-cost applications galore are magnaminous; in reality, it appears that there will be many more months of deep research and development before this technology will be ready to begin preparing for commercialization.
