I just read an article about a new type of LED that produces more watts than it consumes!

Could we see these in future Ultra Sabers products? I sure hope so!

How is this possible? It's basically free energy.

A pW is on trillionth of a Watt...  These things are not bright.  The way it seems to work is that the heat emitted from the entropy of the battery is reverted into energy.  Making them "230%" efficient.  It doesn't practically reproduce energy.  What they're saying is that if they can contain the heat energy in it's entirety and convert it into elector-magnetic energy, then in theory it could power itself forever.  That being said, at the "wattages" used to do this, it's not bright enough to do anything practical with.
