The second law of thermo is the only law of physics that hasn't changed
since the time of Newton. Somehow, I doubt that this guy has found a
glitsch in what Sir Isaac wrote! If he has--more power to him, he will
surely be way wealthier than Bill Gate$!! If not, his investors will be
somewhat poorer, and angrier.

I'm not gonna hold by breath to see the thing work as claimed!
