The dead giveaway is the site's links to UFO abductions and other (for now) silly things.

I'm the furthest thing from a high energy particle or plasma physicist and I don't pretend to understand the good professor's allusions to infinite free energy - however it seems a sound technical review by peers supported by repeatable in lab demonstrations, data, etc would be efficacious as opposed to a sensationalist announcement - again with UFO links, a nice looking website, and nothing particularly solid or technical.

I'm surprised he hasn't added ley lines to his list...(not proven, not disproven).

So Tigertiger, are you going to invest?

@tigertiger, really enjoy reading your posts, you take so much time explaining things in great detail to anyone who asks for help. I quit reading the article when it claimed we could travel anywhere in world in a matter of minutes at a very low cost. I guess as i have become a little older i have become more cynical.

@HFCAMPO

I have looked into selling solar water heaters in the US market. As you have noted, buildings codes do get in the way, but they aren't a conspiracy. The chinese style steel tanks are extremely heavy. Not every roof can support those. I will agree some of the codes and more likely homeowners association agreements are overly restrictive for no reason on the safety or beauty side of things, but they aren't out to foil just 'free energy.' They discriminate against a lot of stuff. I think one vet was disallowed flying a large American flag because the flagpole wasn't allowed in the HMA.

To be clear, these are installed in homes in the USA. Just the redtape and labor is much more.

Even the solar hot water system is not real free. If you do a bit of research, you will find it produces toxic waste during manufacturing. In china, that industry (solar panels included) is thought to save the world, actually makes a lot of rural people sick, from mining to get the raw key ingredients to final packaging. So the USs imposing a high duty on the imports from china might have good, tho not intentional, effect for some Chinese people. :-)

1) Solar hot water system is pretty innocent. Some steel, copper, and glass. Much less than used to make a mianbaoche.

2) Solar panels are less innocent, but no worse than all the circuit boards and mobile phones being made in Guangdong. Not that I want to live anywhere near a river in a factory town.

The newer, more efficient, solar water heaters do use a chemical liquid that can heat to about 120*C in the heat exchangers. It may be this that is harmful. It is much more than just metal and glass these days.

The solar-electric (photovoltaic) cells that generate electricity are a different case. I don't know much about the newer versions of this tech.

Every technology has its price, sadly.

@ Chingis
Every morning I invest a chunk of my non-renewable time to take a hot shower.
That is enough investment for me.

@tigertiger

Yes the USA likes to use more closed loop heat exchange systems (which is another reason costs more). The heat exchange liquid is usually a antifreeze glycol mix of some sort. Most are non-toxic supposedly. Whether that's the case or not, it's probably not important. Only 1/1,000,000 of that heat exchange fluid is likely to leak or spill into the environment, compared to the antifreeze we use in autos.

While we're on this topic of materials, which is a bit off topic actually.

Why is it that anyone who wears or have bought a gold (or diamond) ring or necklace thinks of the amount of environmental destruction that requires? The amount of disaster caused by one ounce of gold or a gemstone makes many other things pale in comparison. Also, the end product isn't something particularly useful, unless you need to get married.

Just sayin, that things like wind turbines, solar panels, and solar water heaters get much more scrutiny than jewelry and autos.
