Hello Pals
There is this concept that I don't understand. Its all about
generating power (AC of course)from from a group of batteriers and
tapping some of the output to charge the batteries-- so it becomes a
cycle. Infact I have challenged this concept until I head it in the
news that someone has developed one in Ghana and he is actually using
it to power his house and a car. My simple college physics tells me
that this will not be possible since no machine or device is 100%
efficient. Can someone brief me on this or show me where I can get more
info on this topic.

In a word, BS.

That is 2 words... the right word to use would be: "kook"!
Similar to the idea of running a car engine on dihydrogen oxide.

A*s*i*m*o*v

.... Wasted power is current squared times the resistance.
