so all in all it looks like a scam so far.. hype.. and mechanical failure.. after so much un documented promo.. to bad really. it would have been great if it really worked.
To break the axle would take quite a load of energizers or a deliberate little drying out of the oil.
yepo im a skeptical .. but do really want one of these inventions to work

Hmmm, that's just about where the batteries would be expected to be almost depleted. And when you give any "dead" battery a rest of about a half hour, you will get a little bit more out of it, just as what was demonstrated. There is no magic device to recharge the batteries for free.
