BB Motor Corp's Fuelless J.I.M.S Engine - BB Motor Corp claims to be launching a revolutionary new engine in 2012 that is claimed to produce huge amounts of power while consuming zero fuel and producing zero pollution. They are accepting inquiries regarding employment, marketing, dealerships, etc. Is this engine for real, or is it too good to be true? (PESN and BeforeItsNews; January 4, 2012)

Part I: Overunity Heat Pump Turbine -- Context - Inventor, Kim Zorzi provides some background information about his Recirculating Air Turbine (RAT) system that apparently is able to harvest energy latent in air to provide 235 kilowatts of power in his present prototype that is now in production, with many improvements envisioned for next versions. (PES; August 19, 2011)

Part II: Recirculating Air Turbine Generator -- Air Engine of the Future - Texas inventor, Kim Zorzi explains how his Recirculating Air Turbine system works to harness energy latent in air by combining several expired patent technologies including supercharger compression, expanded diameter generator, water injection, axial flux generator, etc. (PES; August 19, 2011)

James Leslie's Ambient Kinetic Energy Generator - James Leslie, CCP, of Project Jericho claims a prototype that converts kinetic energy in the atmosphere using specific elements of the gas laws and Faraday's Law.

Crystal Ion Air Turbine Engine - Engine resurrected from the '60s by Ron Rockwell is said to run totally on ambient air, and can be scaled large enough to power an airplane or small enough to power a lawn mower.

Cowlishaw Endothermic Steam Engine - The most famous, but still suppressed realization of this concept was demonstrated in California in 1929, and was then called "The Water Powered Car". My maternal Uncle Hugh Wilson was present when it drove from Los Angeles California over several days in the hot California afternoons. (PESWiki; April 22, 2009)

Rauen Environmental Heat Engine - The Superclassical heat engine of Ken Rauen is designed to be able to tap the heat of the environment for energy generation. It is based upon the experimental evidence of the Proell effect, a macroscopic Maxwell’s Demon.

Power Trip: A look at inventor Chris Hunter - Local coverage reviews the several amazing pursuits under way by this eccentric Alaskan inventor, including ways to extend the life of batteries, creating better motors for his electric vehicle conversion project, and ways to draw heat and power from ambient air. (Frintiersman; June 19, 2010)

Generator from Ambient Air by Kim Zorzi - Inventor from Ultralight America proposes a multicylinder air type engine, which is different from previous systems in that it has a regenerative tank. Zorzi alleges that this will enable the system to repressurize itself, drawing its energy from ambient air heat.

Solar power by using air as energy storage - Theoretical proposal based on the heat pump principle. Siva presents a compact and efficient design to utilize the energy latent in air. (Issuu; February 4, 2012)

Johnson Electro Mechanical Systems - The Johnson Ambient Heat Engine (JAHE) generates power from the daily ambient temperature fluctuations and uses a thermal mass as a stabilizing heat sink/source. The Johnson Ambient Environment Engine (JAEE) operates in a manner similar to a fuel cell, generating power from daily temperature, barometric pressure and humidity changes.

OS:Ambient Energy Collection Device - Byron New Energy participant posts a method for harnessing radio frequency energy. The eventual objective would be to discriminate ambient space energy versus man-made radio waves, and to adequately amplify the energy to useful levels.
