Perhaps something to hope for and get some talk started about this !?

It is not self-sustaining and there is a topic where this is being discussed.

I believe the problem was due to being lost in translation, which often occurs.  It still appears to be pretty efficient, which is a good thing
by itself.

  After 5 months running time off of the same battery?  So, when does it become not self sustaining?

I have 5 years running off the same battery in my car.  That does not mean O.U.  Read the other topic and you will see that there are some translation problems with the news reports.  A lot of conflicting info has been flying about.  They talk about how fast they can recharge the batteries, which you would not need to do if self-sustaining.

Check it out as more info becomes available.  Oh, it also has solar cells.

   "Notice that the students said they have gone five months without discharging the battery."

    The rest is speculation.  As that also means, that they ran it for that long without ever having to do any additional charging.
    Time will tell.
    But, why do we need to assume something doesn't work as shown, until it's proven that it does?
    Can't we just take it with a grain of sand until proven one way or the other? 
    You ever wonder how long it will take before even Tesla car/house batteries are a thing of the past? And, no batteries needed, becoming the thing of the present.
