Interesting theory.. they note that the ancient "Baghdad Battery" (an electrical battery built into a clay pot) shows that the technology did exist in ancient times.

Also includes cool blueprint.

"Mythbusters" did it.

Edit..

Actually, the one the show did was a chemical battery. Hadn't seen this friction based one before. I hope they revisit it with this though.

That one was hilarious when they hooked up the 10k transformer to it and Adam touched it. ....Carrie saying something like " do you feel God" had me :lol

I realy love the blueprints that you made up for it, it realy has a cool look. Also another fan of myth busters.
