    More like “never has to stop working to charge”. It is novel that its charging mechanism operates as a function of doing its primary job.

      Not novel. I think there was a train somewhere in Africa, that transported some ore from mountain to port. On the way down with ore it charged and uphill it used charge.

        That’s genius. Who cares if thermodynamics wins, it weighs less on the way up so works out just fine.

        Just like the example in TFA.
