I've seen it work, somewhat. The clearness of the fresnel really counts - I
don't think the plastic ones do a very good job (absorbing more than what
it benefits).

A perpetual energy machine is impossible by modern physical theory. The
solar cell and the inner walls of the cube would abosorb the light. You
