"Early Monothermal working prototype, production
date 17 August 1995. Test units worked uninterrupted for more than a decade, powering LCD clocks and a tabletop fan in a room-temperature environment."

This looks like an interesting technology . It would be interesting to know how it compares to say a peltier module on a cost/output basis . Probably not a do it yourself job in the form shown , as Phosphorus is involved .

Wouldn't a device that generated power from ambient thermal temperature classify as an over unity device? Is there any evidence anywhere that this functions as claimed?

Hi all ...nice find but I think it is nothing more than two dissimilar metals. Although the construction is such that it will last a very long time ,but with very limited output.Seems to be alot of this type of technology around just need to find a way to amplify the output.I've been working on this for about 5 months now voltage is no problem, amperage is coming up slowly........just got to keep trying .....shylo

hi v109
Wouldn't a device that generated power from ambient thermal temperature classify as an over unity device?
yes, in the same sense that solar & wind power generation of electricity is OU

there's a liittle evidence of the thermal relationship shown in a table in the patents
Stefan started a thread about a different thermal electricity convertor cell (but not much new detail over the patent):
http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=885.0
in an unconnected experiment, i've recently had similar success with a DIY cell using much simpler parts (basically dissimilar metal, diluted honey, cotton sheet, paper sheet & child's starch glue)
my cell has powered an LED flasher now for several weeks (since 8th Dec) and the on-load terminal voltage has gradually increased over this time from it's initial value of 1.6V to 1.9V (whilst also responding to ambient temperature)
i include constructional details, photos and voltage/temperature graph in my thread:
http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=10174.msg269055#new
so, at least three different references now to achievable & sustained thermal electricity generation from ambient heat (and it sounds like shylo is on the same path, too)
it's early days obviously, and the power generated is still low - but the technology appears to work, so i don't see any reason why we can't scale this up to useful levels of power, in the same way that we've done with the groundbreaking work done by pioneers like Volta & Galvani
all the best

I now made a short YouTube video about it.

No it is not :
Overunity device doesn't exist.
It is simply energy converter from one form to another.WHAT IS THE MONOTHERMAL?
The Monothermal is a multi-layer laminate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminate) that generates electrical current in the presence of ambient heat.

What I can't work out is why, when it seems a simple enough project, is the technology 25 years old with no apparent penetration into any market?

Agreed. T[size=78%]his is quite old, 1st saw this on revolution-green,. This is the perfect add on for solar, an array of these on the back of a solar panel/mirror for extra energy and in the case of solar panels cooling to to make them more efficient.[/size]
