German Man Builds Device to Suck Electricity From Power Lines, Other People
Dennis Siegel claims his curious contraption feeds itself like a leech on ambient electromagnetic fields.
Say your Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock axe dies in mid-shred. You could interrupt your blazing rendition of KISS' "Love Gun" and go to the store to buy batteries. But that requires movement, and batteries are expensive.
