I am always interested to read about claims of energy from nothing. Especially limitless and clean and cheap. That's the best kind! Haven't found it yet. Interestingly, the claims have always been mistakes and/or scams. I don't always know why exactly it won't work but fortunately others do.
"Limitless" energy from graphene at ambient temperature has been discussed on the Moletrap Forum including lots of engineers and at least one full professor of physics from a large university. Here are some of the comments about Thibado's work including also this paper https://thibado.uark.edu/wp-co…hysRevLett.117.126801.pdf .
===========================
So build one and test it---then leak to the press, or write a paper. None of this is beyond lab testing.
I've heard that the green cheese in the moon could provide hundreds of megawatts of clean energy...

It's total bollox. You start by extracting work which cools down the sample and suddenly there's no more work to be had. It's like all those guys who submitted Magic Machines to EarthTech (Hal Puthoff and Eric Davies) to extract zero point energy from the vacuum. After many years still none of them had been found to work.
...
Physics professor: What's all the fuss? It's interesting but it only provides another way of extracting energy that you put into the membrane. It's not a spontaneous refrigerator.

Same professor: 2LoT
ETA I think 1 LoT as well.

Deceived his good wife

The claims in the above article (radically improved storage batteries with graphene) seem to have gotten nowhere in 3 years and the local opinion (from someone who lives there) is that it is probably a scam intended to fool the Chinese.
...
Finally, it was mentioned on Moletrap that graphene devices might be used to store energy from sources such as sun, radioactivity and geothermal, etc. But that de novo energy from graphene only and a stable ambient temperature was impossible.
The physics professor wrote, "It is a classic Maxwell demon. Nothing stops it from being right except statistical mechanics. The same statistical mechanics that gives us 2LoT."
I am not a physicist or play one on TV. If you want to argue more about this, you may want to do it at Moletrap: http://www.moletrap.co.uk/forum/ which, for virtually all types of opinions and statements, is uncensored.
Or let me know when you have a self-running graphene battery with no input power and say, maybe 20W output for a few weeks. I'd say do the same with LENR but I take it back-- I don't want to agitate Jed again!
