A friend of mine tested this in the lab when I was in college. The
devices don't work. They've been around for decades and they've never
worked.

He wrote a paper on it for the class he was in, but I don't think it was
ever published since it just debunked some junk science and didn't
actually represent any new and valuable research in terms of chemistry.
