[edit] Ambient energy exchange

This is at least one of (a) neologism, (b) misleading, (c). And lacks reliable, third party sources.

According to the definition of the article Automatic watches or solar powered Parking meters would be an example of Ambient energy exchange -- but neither is the term used nor is any nanotechnology involved.

• Delete. I've heard the term, but not in the context of a PRODUCT. Absence of reliable secondary sources. -Amarkov ^babble 14:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The article is describing a concept/idea/device which will become increasingly important as climate change starts to bite scope_creep 19:52, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Scope creep. His Keep vote qualifies as a Delete rationale per WP:NOT. Danny Lilithborne 22:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete What is described is neither theory nor a practical device. If it were an actual device then clearly it should be kept. If it were a name of a theoretical type of device then I would expect to many reference to articles showing it was in common use. It is also highly likely that such a device is technically unworkable because interfering with the transfer of heat to create energy is a useful function in cooling the devices and maintaining low energy use.

• Delete Buh? I think it may be describing either some method of converting brownian motion into useful energy, or its talking about the use of temerature differences to make power (a heat engine) OR it's talking about nano-film photoreceptors which collect solar energy and cound transfer that energy as infrared or its talking about a heat pump OR its talking about the devices in automatic watches and sea bouys. I don't know what it's really on about but it's not sourced and not clear. Robovski 01:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Ambient energy is valid scientific term (see Google scholar), it is used to be source of energy form MEMS, prototypes were built but the current article is beyond repair. Pavel Vozenilek 23:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
