Hi Overunity dot com sharp people,

Or:
http://www.linux-host.org/energy/akelv1.html (http://www.linux-host.org/energy/akelv1.html) (for nice pictures).
Or also to a lot of web sites that can be reached by just 'Googling' something like:
Lord Kelvin Thunderstorm
Or:

Prof. Walter Lewin Makes a Battery out of Cans and Water.
I read somewhere that prof Lewin was slightly mistaken and that this device can work with water drops and that it does not need a water thin stream.
Is it Fee Energy (COP>1)?
Could any scientist do some maths?
Input: some water drops falling from some height.
Output: Huge voltage. Amperage unknown but obviously very weak.
I'm (also :)) weak enough to think that is device shows actually OU (COP>1).
Nikola Tesla was able to transform huge voltage/almost-no-amperage (=/= pure potential) into 'something' (low-voltage/significant-amperage) that was able to power everyday life devices. Was it not?

Hello, it's been nearly a decade since this question was posted, NerzhDishual have you found any further insights?
And here I thought the inline version wouldn't work. https://youtu.be/HSXPgdm2Ots

it is ou in the sense that the energy is free but it may not be enough.

its proven working at least in scientific literature.
thanks for this post.
at least this is another example of ou.
@blueplanet, yeah it's very well documented. Took me some time to find it, but I found Lord Kelvin's article describing it. http://zapatopi.net/kelvin/papers/on_a_self-acting_apparatus.html The reason I didn't believe the inline would work was because of the metal strainers used. If the strainer is located at the base of the water collector, the water would leave the strainer with a charge, killing the operation.
He states that the strainer, or funnel, must be inside the container. Strangely, he also shows that copper filings poured from a funnel with an "inductor" of zinc will produce a charge on the container they fall into.
Overall it's a very simple idea for a DIYer.
