Tapping trees for electricity?

Posted by Matthew Thu, 12 Jan 2006 15:35:00 GMT

MagCap Engineering seems to think electricity grows on trees. Much like the UMASS Amherst professor quoted in the article, I am extremely skeptical. Will this technology further deplete the world’s forests? Does this output more energy than it requires?

However, I find it hard to believe any investor would consider a relationship unless MagCap answered these questions beforehand. Maybe they talked the investors into believing 12V was six times the energy and therefore more efficient. Hopefully they can increase the electric potential without decreasing the available current. That would result in six times the energy.
