That is the source of energy for OU electromagnetic devices.

Which devices would that be then? Please be specific.

I mean, I have a Crystal Radio sitting on my bench right now. I don't have to provide it with a power supply, but it provides energy on the output that it is clearly greater than what _I_ am putting into it. It drives a piezo speaker element just fine, and plays religious music and talk all day and all night long, and even can light up an LED. Does that make it an OU electromagnetic device?

An OverUnity device is an open system that exhibits more electrical power on the output than it is required to make it operational.

An electromechanical relay and a battery would seem to fit that definition.  Are you certain that is what you want to call OU?

A crystal set is not overunity. You do input power to transmit specific frequency radio waves to make it operational, a lot of power!
You just do not pay for it. Without that source of energy emitted by an antenna it will not work.

Please elaborate as I do not see it that way.

It takes little power to operate a relay.  The relay connects the electrical power from the battery to the load.  Since you specify the system as open, we can put the battery outside the box.
