Perhaps one of the most controversial device is the Kapanadze generator. It appears in both static (no moving parts) generator : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DGoq76CQapyI or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DTwGMZukdZxI and motor-generator version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D3thvqFhFIfY It puzzling me because it starts in both versions from a 9V battery. I have to admit, I have tested the idea (unsuccessfully) and tried to understand how it works. One of the patents is here: http://www.google.com/patents/WO2008103130A1?cl=3Den and perhaps the original schematic is this one: http://open-source-energy.org/rwg42985/russ/Kapanadze/Kapanadze.jpg Of course "free energy" does not exist. But the ability of extract the power from a resonance, without disturbing the resonant process is a great idea...
