Sure. Getting net energy from that is the hard part. :)

Reminds me of a story by Stanislaw Lem where Prof. Tarantoga is visited 
by one of those crackpots who's invented a perpetuum mobile, claiming 
that it's a real device. He keeps on turning the handle on that thing, 
"See, it's working! I don't have to turn the handle, just ignore that, 
it would work anyway!" Hilarious. Anyone else know that story?

So what's next? Quadrature of the circle? P=NP? Proof of the Riemann 
hypothesis?
