Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims to have built a prototype power source that generates up to 1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel... The problem is that according to the rules of quantum mechanics, the physics that governs the behaviour of atoms, the idea is theoretically impossible.

Update: Glenn Reynolds links to "Mr. Snitch": There really is one born every minute! Why does this story sound so familiar to me?

Blacklight Power has been around for quite a while claiming to be on the verge of a power breakthrough. The name didn't click at first, but I remember hearing about them back in college.
