A 10 year old girl built this for a science fair and won every prize.

That is not what was astonishing, it ran for 5 days 120 hours on one 9v battery. The battery read +7v after 120h at 4000 rpm and turning a slot car motor to power a led. It should have used up the 9v in a couple of hours.

There is nothing new and it could be built from parts bought at Radio Shack.

Scale up to generate more energy, compensate the battery power loss with solar and you don't need fuel to generate electricity.
