"Self Running 900 Watt Fuelless Electrical Generator" Is this new?

Is this Mr. Thrapp a confirmed Amish inventor or has that been implied by his dress and religious references? If he is indeed Amish, why is he and his group of 50 volunteers dedicated to developing something that is prohibited by religious belief? The Amish community in The US is really not that large. An Amish inventor solving the worlds energy problems with an OU machine (setting aside the 500M USD fee) seems rather unlikely.  Much like an Innuit (eskimo to some people) inventing an amazing device that makes....ice.  This is my first post.  The forum looks interesting.

WELL we learn something every day today its your turn there are at least two groups of Amish one you refer to   the other like Mr Thrapp a little more liberal

Ok Thanks. Didn't know that. Another question: If Mr Thrapp is a multimillionaire as stated on this site, http://peswiki.com/index.php/PowerPedia:Timothy_Thrapp , why was he looking for a $100k donation to finish the development of a useful gravity motor in 2005? I would guess that someone of extraordinary intelligence and ability would find making money a trivial bother. He was brokering successful real-estate deals before he was 18. If I knew a multimillionaire, I could write a pretty snazzy business proposal and borrow the $100k. Hey lets face it $100k is short money these days isn't it? Even better, If I had been a genius multimillionaire who didn't bother with the diploma, I'd loan myself the $100k and build it.

Don't get me wrong, OU machines may in fact exist but you'd have to be pretty persistent to ignore the many many red flags that are associated with this one.

That's a good question jbartlett.  I don't know the answer.

I think there are enough theoretical things in Thrapp's device that make sense that I personally think its real.  However, there are probably exaggerations mixed in.  The rumor is that the device is real but Thrapp does not have business sense or people skills.

heya. thrapp WAS a multimillionaire. if you were to read and look into what happened to all of this, destruction of labs, etc, you'd see that much money can burn  in processes that result in having to re-create things. now this is of course  from the point of view that any of you put any kind of, well, weight, on the claims. they are on the  WITS directory page on peswiki, the 2005 interview by one jeane manning, and the water-fuel-museum interview.
money can run out too?
anyway, im starting to have my own red flags, since im not allowed to help them  due to too much email traffic  and they dont want to post more videos because of the email traffic. i wish everyone emailingthem etc owuld just stop  and for them to realize that they have to take up my offer of  me digitizing their enregy dvds for them and allow me to help them. but it does seem they are inundated with emails constantly, i dunno how much of that are useful emails with useful propositions, and how much is just "gimme more data". if im in this kind of a mental/emotional state regards this  it just doesnt  make any sense for me to ring him up. a shame.
