One thing that comes to mind, other than bring it on, is i hope that more research and honesty be applied to the effects of electromagnetic fields on our own field. Our EM field changes depending on our health and mood and all those little nuances and having too much 'pollution' could in the end shoot us in our own foot, much like too much plastics, chemical detergents and all the already present waves and frequencies blasting through us at any given moment.

(3 Comments)you have to apply a huge magnetic field to a magnetic material to eek a few spin polarized electrons out of it within seconds.
this could never be useful as a "battery" as we know it.
totally misleading headline.
a capacitor is a better charge storing device.
