Saw a few points of confusion in there, for instance:
* Apparent confusion of weight with mass at a few points.
* Leaving out a few stages of the cycle (check the Figure 6 image:
shows the transducer expanding and contracting, but doesn't show what
happens to the whole system when the mass, or that which causes the
mass, shifts from one end to the other).
Which isn't to say the entire subject is bunk, just that this particular
explanation of it seems to go nowhere.
