I have come across 3 diversely different things over the past month,  diverse in where they come from, not how they function. Allow me to  explain...

I first read about the Tesla's faimed, real or not, test runs with  his cosmic powered electric car in the 30s as was very intrigued as I  am sure anyone who read it was. Anyway, having no other information  concerning the subject no one could really do or say much about it in  terms of how it functioned or how it was made.

Fast forward to last week...

I came across this post to KeelyNet from 2002: 
http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m12300.html
here are some excerpts:
"Rod-Generator has invented in Japan! It's detailed principle (but collector of electromagnetic wave) and detailed material (but it is  made of ceramic) is not open yet." "The appearance is two rods in parallel. One rod is 1cm diameter
and 10cm long (very small). This "Solar Battery" generates 300W (output). They claimed as it is same as Solar Battery. It collect electromagnetic wave (light) from infrared to ultraviolet.Perhaps it collect energy until X-ray level  frequency."
etc..etc..

Now, I followed the article to the poster's webpage and came across a  picture, although faint, of the "rod-generator":

this appears to be very similar to the description of the supposed  Tesla cosmic powered device used in the electric car.

Fast forward to yesterday...

I came across a small real video showing a "Neutrino Demo":
http://www.ucsofa.com/videos/nutrino.ram
Watch the video!

In this demo they show a device which looks EXACTLY the same as the  device in the Japanese pic except it's just the bare rods on a wood  board. In the video they state/show, among other things: how he rods  power two different loads, christmas lights, and a 25watt bulb. They  state the device runs on neutrinos and other cosmic rays that  constantly bombard the earth. They mention how one rod is composed of  73 elements whereas the other rod is made of 74 elements, the  difference of elements causes one rod to be (+) and one to be (-).  The small model in this video puts out 18W and is cold to the touch.
 

Now, they reason I am posting is because I believe the devices built  by all 3 peoples to be highly similar in design and operation. They  all involve 2 rods, one negative, one positive, they both output  steady power with heat buildup, etc...

I felt this to be the best forum to post this on. I feel we can  figure out exactly what is involved in these devices and that we can  bring them out of the underground. 

ANY help or information concerning this matter is greatly appreciated!

If you know anything or anyway we can reverse engineer these devices  based on the knowledge presented let us know. As I write this I am  continuing my search to learn more about the potential elements  involved in the rods, how neutrinos and such function, etc.

Thanks,
Jason
