Milehigh is on the money here. If you think about it what have they said?

"We have a fan that uses less power than other fans."

There is no context. compared to what other fans? what was the power requirement for the other fan, what was the power output of the fan, how was it measured?

"Look we can plug in some LED's and the power doesn't change"

Wow! Well perhaps that's because the fan base has batteries in it. perhaps the wiring is rigged perhaps the LED's are powered from a different source all together. Who cares anyway, LED's don't use much power its pretty negligable and yes it could be driven off the back emf of an inefficient motor. Even one that's more efficient than the cheap mass produced rubbish they say they are comparing it to.

Why even use a fan as the comparison? Why not use the motor to do a simple task like lift a 1 kilogram weight 1 metre in x seconds. Then you can get a real sense of what power its putting out and it is as simple as connecting the motor to a bicycle wheel with a weight and a piece of string. I have done that before to do very quick tests of theories.

Introducing the fan into the equation can be nothing more than misdirection. In fact its so stupid it must be deliberate misdirection.

Currently electric motor efficiency can be around 97% with careful design.  So to improve that by 4 fold means overunity. Do you think any reputable organisation is going to take longer than say 5 seconds to dismiss it as being worth looking at, and based on what? a spinning fan.

Lastly I am sure they are great honest people. That doesn't mean they are not clueless. some of the nicest people I have met are particularly clueless. And if you are in it for the money it pays to appear nice and honest.

"We have a fan that uses less power than other fans."

There are no short cuts.

They should power the unit from a battery and measure over a period of time the reduction in its content whilst measuring the power output to a prony brake or alternator.

Any 5th form Physics pupil could tell them this and/or do it for them.

My guess is that they have, and have found that it has a respectable efficiency but no OU.

An update on keppe.
Here is there description of the differences between the keppe motor,newman,and berdini/cole motors.
