Good question. Currently unproven.

I think Fridger is the best person who can answer this question, no ?

I don't think it requires Fridger's expertise to be able to see this for what it is. 8O

All I can say is that professionally, I have never heard of this, although the release of energy (particles) from the vacuum is in principle possible. However that would require a comparably huge setup, i.e. it certainly will not be possible with a little table-top experiment as shown on the "inventor's" Website. "Suspicious" is also the fact that instead of solid physics information, one is confronted with people filming the "genius" (who as I read somewhere is deceased meanwhile). The former team members seem presently busy selling a CD with various video sequences showing the "energy production from the vacuum" at work...

Extensive discussion of this theory can be found on the Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Web forum.

Which doesn't mean that it is worth anything...It's way more "safe", if I have never heard of this ;-) . You can bet that we would have invited the guy for a big seminar at DESY, if there was anything serious...

We normally do not educate ourselves by clicking WEB forums, like e.g.
your above quote,
