"These devices open the possibility to continuously scavenge otherwise wasted energy from the environment," says Andreopoulos.

I am glad these guys do not design airplanes.

The best way to conserve energy in a vehicle is to make it as aerodynamic as possible. These chips will cause more drag and net energy loss as they can not be 100% efficient.

I think these boys skipped their classes in Thermodynamics and they damn sure know nothing about boundary layer effect as related to drag and energy loss.
