Looking for a UPS? Get this instead!!

Well recently with all of the storms ravaging the mid west, you may have found yourself without power. My command center has gone without power 3 times this year alone. Well in looking for a UPS I came across this video from some friends from a gaming group I belong to.

Check it out.

I so want one... for $5000.00

That looks pretty badass, can't wait to see it become a popular device. Hope it doesn't get bought out and buried.

Nice, where do I order? Smile

Is this guy actually claiming perpetual power?

I think not, check the laws of power conservation. Nothing is free.

It's like the hydrogen from water machine one guy invented, it takes WAY more electricity to create hydrogen than the power you get out of that hydrogen.

If it becomes available I'll let you know how it works.

well if it works it would be sweet... gov't or some oil company would proably buy it though and keep it under wraps for 20 more years for "development"

Its does work. An initial mechanical spinning then the use of permanent magnets to keep it spinning with alternating poles.

The law of conservation of energy was written in a time when most things were energy driven via heat, electric, steam - but the use of alternating poles with low drag/friction bearings has challenged that theory.

And like I said, its not quite perpetual power(motion), since the magnet(s) alternates a pole relative to the stator thus creating input to the motion of the stator. The initial input to spin the stator does require energy, but the alternating poles keep it spinning past the point of the loss of energy through friction on bearings or dynamic drag. Thus in the closed loop of the magnets and stator, more energy has been "made" than used to get the stator moving initially - which is what those inventions are based upon.

I agree with the theory, but what happens when you start to pull a load big enough to be meaningful?
