O.K. I will strain my tiny brain and try to remember something from electronics 101 that I took twenty years ago. You can move (electric) energy around but you can't passively gain any. By using a transformer you can increase the voltage but you will proportionally decrease the amperage and vice a versa. In fact through thermal loses of the transformer you will loose a little energy.
Someone with a physics degree could tell you a lot more about it.

Anyhoo, unless that thing magically sucks energy from the universe I doubt it can do much other that lighten your wallet.

That's all for now, I'm off to meditate in my pyramid with my crystals and consult the spirits on planet Zultron.
