Matt, it is not for sale yet. Boy you are dumb at times.

I didn't suggest buying one *now*, but will you when they become
available - if they do?


Say it saves 2/3 of the electricity as resistance heating. That brings it
in line with current gas prices. What cost it is to buy is then
important. If it is a reasonable price to buy then it has advantages of
no servicing and small. It goes well with a thermal store as the company
web site shows. It will also kill heat pumps stone dead, except where
the heat pump is reversible for heat and cool. Even then if using an
absorption cooling system, it may be viable. When gas supplies start to
dwindle then this comes into its own.

It is an over-unity device, if it does what they say, in that it produces
more in energy output that input. Using this surplus and go through an
energy state change may produce turning motion. Then vehicle applications
are then in the frame.


There is not, and never will be, an "over-unity" device that produces more
energy out than is consumed. The search for, and belief in, such things
are the desperate scrabblings of the feeble minded, poorly educated or
just plain gullible for an easy fix for our energy needs.


Have you told York University all this?

Increasing efficiency of energy usage (either through technology or
renewables) or reducing demand are the only things that make a difference.


They can indeed.
