While the second law of thermodynamics is inviolate, the point of this was not to make _energy_. It is to make _fuel_ out of waste products, and requires a significant input of solar energy. In this case it's a solar energy endeavor, but with convenient supplies of heat and food for the bugs, presumably multiplying the efficiency somewhat. Think "breeder reactor", rather than "perpetual motion machine." Even so, I don't know how it pencils out. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
