CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA -- On September 8, 2005, co-inventors Lou Brits and John
Christie posted on their website a demonstration video which alleges that with
an input power of 4.25 Watts, their Lutec device achieves an output power of
15.4 Watts -- 362% more than the input
The video does not show a view of the entire set-up, but only close-ups of
the meters and the device running. There is no continuous-pan walk-around to
enable the viewer to see above, below, or behind the device. Nor is the
possibility of remote power transmittance addressed.
In short, the inventors expect the viewers to trust their word that the set-up
is as they present it, with no tricks. In a field oft sprinkled with shoddy
science, and less-than-honest persons separating gullible people from their
hard-earned money, this is hardly satisfactory.
If they truly do have here what they claim, and there are no hidden tricks to
sully what they are claiming, then indeed, this would be a development worthy of
note for the scientific community to then verify and improve.
On the home page of their website, Lou and John boast that "The Lutec
1000 is the first free energy machine to be developed to commercial stage
anywhere in the world." Then in the next sentence they say "The
Lutec 1000 generator will produce up to 1000 watts of DC electricity twenty four
hours a day, every day". These statements have been on their site
since May
31, 2002.
Yet in this, their first demonstration video posted on their site after all that
time of making these claims, the output shown is 15.4 Watts, not 1000 Watts.
Theirs is not the first free energy machine. Solar and Wind had them beat
centuries ago.
Nor are they developed to commercial stage. The device shown in the
demonstration is no trivial piece of equipment, and it is putting out a mere
15.4 Watts -- enough to power maybe five to ten cell phones. The device
cost per energy output is a long ways away from being in a price range with
other free energy technologies such as Solar or Wind. Even if this device
were bug-free and ready to be duplicated by a manufacturer, the
cost-to-energy-output ratio would be far too small to be practical in a
competitive market.
True, this technology has the benefit of not being reliant on transient sun or
wind. However, the weight-to-power, and cost-to-power ratios appear to be
yet impractical.
Lutec is to be congratulated on this milestone, if it is indeed what they claim.
However, based on what we can see here, it will be a long time yet before this
is refined to a point where it is feasible for the marketplace.

Why not Self-Run?
Why don't they change their setup to a self-run configuration with
no external energy input and allow for independent verification?
This would remove the possibility of trickery!

Apples to Apples
Why not have them run the output through a Full Wave bridge and measure the
DC output? This will help them to get an easier apple to apples
comparison. The AC data is meaningless without the power factor. -- J.D.
