When you plug it to itself, does it produce infinite power?

Perpetual energy is the new thing that is going to put organizations out of business.

Yes but there is a catch. You have to be above 6000 feet with a full sun holding the Monster with both hands above your head. You also have to be grounded so you will not be shocked.The experience is both eerie and cool. I've been doing this for six months now and am rather enjoying it. Try it and let me know your experience.

Yes, but the cord laps over the other outlets preventing you from plugging into the infinite power and if you think you can try to move the cord just a little bit to the side of the outlets you will be disappointed as it disrupts the free flowing electrons and stops the infinite power.

It does not retain power so yes u have to keep it plugged to a power supply in order to power anything

No, the Pi is powerful enough to power this. I've used this successfully in two Pis so far.

Nope, it doesn't provide power. It works for my purpose but really doesn't add much value in my opinion.

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.

I believe it writes data to hard drive, so it does not need constant power. I have lost power and unplugged it a few times with no data loss.

My guess would be yes because it has needs a power supply which it gets from it's own plug in. Also, it remains lit up when the computer is off. That being said, I have not tried what you ask.

it doesn't seem to. I've had some trouble with it. however when I have it plugged in it powers the device

No, Once it's plugged in, it becomes an emergency light. If the power goes out, it will come on immediately. This is what I bought it for. If I'm asleep, and the power goes out, the light will wake me up. When in the emergency mode (plugged in) It will come on when you un-plug it. Then you can use it full power (as it will be when un-plugged) or 1/2 power, or shut it off with the switch. Un-plugged, it become a flash light with two brightness levels. VERY bright, VERY solid light, works GREAT, recomend and would deffinately buy again.

NO. I have it plugged into my computer battery back up so I can use it when the power goes out.

I always have it plugged in when I use it...sorry but I can't answer your question.

It should it doesn't care what's hooked up to it. Power comes from the cells to a controler.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

Yes it has it's own power supply that when charged with the usb cord plugged into your computer will operate on its own, depending on settings, for up to 3 hours. There is also an indicator light on it that changes colors to let you know when it is fully charged.

Yes, it does. You can use you computer to link it too also, but it always has to have power.

Nope. You can plug it up and it will look like it is. It acts like it's charging but dies at the same rate.

I have tried it both ways, but it always seemed that when I left it unplugged and needed it, there was no power. Now I leave it plugged in all the time. However, probably like other devices of this nature, it might be a good idea to let it run out occasionally and recharge.
