Subject: Heat energy from passing elec. current thru balls coated in nickel

A few years back an anouncement was made that scientists had 
created energy by passing an electrical current thru a solution 
surounding plastic balls coated in nickel and some other metal.  
The claim was that the heat energy generated was greater than 
amount of energy input into the system.  We were wondering if 
this was authenticated by subseqent experimentation or if was 
proved to be an invalid claim.
