Re: New invention.
Sure is a crappy article. There was something on /. recently. Some guy in Asia (Taiwan? Japan? I can't recall now) developed a much more efficient motor, using specially aligned permanant magnets.
Sometimes the news articles report it's 80% more efficient (is that so unbeliveable, I dunno), sometimes they say 0.2 more power or torque (pick one guys, they are not interchangeable), sometimes they say you get more power out than in, they really bury that Last comment.
Do they write crappy articles to hide flaws in journalistic research or cause the world has become progressively dumber? Meh. Waiting for /., someone will rip them apart. Even if true.
