This produced a temperature difference that powered the engine. (Image Credit: ScienceAdvances )

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;No it doesn&amp;#39;t - it demonstrates that energy can be harvested from the earth warmed by the sun - it&amp;#39;s a solar powered device - not a dark powered device.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The power output is very low and there is no indication of energy output over a full 24 hour cycle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Year-round measurements show that the engine&amp;rsquo;s plate temperatures, temperature differential, and rotation rate correlate with the weather.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next you&amp;#39;ll be telling us that bears poo in the woods !&lt;/p&gt;
