Nice idea; but if it is a petrol engine; where does the exhaust go? it's not practical for consumer electronics if it's polluting the internal airspace where you live!

I would of thought that the emissions are minimal if it uses a squirt of lighter fluid in 18 months or so

Yeah, a Zippo lighter used on a typical interval probably burns more fluid in a year than that engine.
I wish the article had more information. It's just a tease.

Shame the article isn't welldone, the info given in it is meaningless and misleading.

I have done a bit of google-ing and there does not seem to be much info around on it. one forum seems to think that it would use 1.5L every 6 months of fuel if it was running on idle. It would also produce about .5W of energy. However that was someone taking a guess.

At ~30% efficiency it would be something like that.
