Heins also founded Potential Difference Inc, the website of which contains a series of videos of the inventor demonstrating the machine. [3] US patent #9,230,730 [ 4 ] issued in 2016 pertaining to another of Thane's inventions, a bi-toroidal topology transformer.
Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In a static electric field , it corresponds to the work needed per unit of charge to move a positive test charge from the first point to the second point.
A current–voltage characteristic or I–V curve (current–voltage curve) is a relationship, typically represented as a chart or graph, between the electric current through a circuit, device, or material, and the corresponding voltage, or potential difference, across it.
Galvani potential , Volta potential and surface potential in one phase. The corresponding potential differences computed between two phases. In electrochemistry, the Galvani potential (also called Galvani potential difference, or inner potential difference, Δφ, delta phi) is the electric potential difference between two points in the bulk of two phases.

The Volta potential (also called Volta effect, [1] Volta potential difference, contact potential difference, outer potential difference, Δψ, or "delta psi") in electrochemistry, is the electrostatic potential difference between two metals (or one metal and one electrolyte) that are in contact and are in thermodynamic equilibrium.
The magnitude of this potential difference is often expressed as a difference in Fermi levels in the two solids when they are at charge neutrality, where the Fermi level (a name for the chemical potential of an electron system [44] [45]) describes the energy necessary to remove an electron from the body to some common point (such as ground).

Since the current I is defined as the amount of charge per time, and potential difference V is energy per charge, the product VI equals energy per time, which is known as power. In a capacitor, the potential difference between the two plates is proportional to the charge on the plates; the proportionality constant is the capacitor's capacitance.
