The system can heat water and produce steam, but there are numerous conventional boiler technologies that can heat water and make steam that are less capital intensive and often cheaper to operate with gas our oil as compared to electricity.

this giant grey motor got 100kw or more
this is never 100% efficiency!

Even water at 0 degrees Celsius contains heat energy. To have no energy, water would have to be at absolute zero, or 0 degrees Kelvin.

That black small thing is not thy moter. the huge ass gray thing on the right is. Also remember that the water is not 0 degrees Celsius. any water that is not frozen contains energy in the form of heat.

Clearly the fundamentals of physics are wrong or it would not work. We are being feed bullshit by the so called scientists that you can't get more energy out than you put in to keep the oil cartels in business.
FUCK the oil cartels your days of polluting the world and riping people off will soon be over. Your own tuff shit really, you have taken the piss out of us and over charging us for too long. YOUR OWN FAULT!!!!!

Gay.. Sooo Gay. Look at the "small" motor at 0:48 (giant, grey one, on the right; not the small, black device shown at 1:17). Based on the size, I'm going to guess at 100-150 hp. Times 748 watts/HP (at 100% efficiency), that's about 75-112kW). Typical household water heater is about 5kw. This is a total fraud.

Going by the tag rating on a 3 phase motor I have it's 10HP rated at 7.5KW, this one looks to be about 10HP maybe bigger... gierkep is right the overhead cost of the unit itself would be high, and most houses don't have 3 phase service, a single phase motor would cost more to run. I don't see where they're getting over 100% efficiency.

I would like to know what the kilowatt hour that ''little'' electric motor is.

I agree with QuantumAnomaly's below comment. If it works, push it on the market. If it is indeed 170% efficient, household units could be key in achieving energy independent residential housing.

and lobbyism does control alot of technological innovation. Who killed the electric car is a good example. |
