Actually, Don Lancaster discussed how "over unity" for the electrical 
power input was possible.  However, there was power from external 
temperature -- the unit actually got colder as it ran.  There was no 
"free lunch", but some of the energy didn't come from the 
electricity.  Unfortunately, an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is 
so inefficient, it gobbled up all the "free" energy available.
