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

From what we can gather from several sources who have had first-hand interaction with them, Thrapp, et al. are a talented group, and have been able to successfully replicate some legendary and exotic energy technologies, but their lack of business acumen while insisting that no such lack exists has been their primary pitfall; including their fabrication of stories about the extent of their success and of their suppression.  While some of it may be true, they provide no adequate evidence to support the full scope of their claims.  The huge up-front fees they require routinely sabotage any financing opportunities that come their way.  Their expectation of financial faith before adequate evidence has been supplied keeps them from making even one substantial sell of any of their numerous technologies they claim to have.

I never watched this video untill today, and here's my comments.

1)  It looks interesting and if taken at face value, quite fantastic.  They claim a self running system working with the loop closed, so the "generator" feeds the motor that runs it.

2) The discussion about the capacitors is quite interesting and revealing.  He said in the video that they charge and discharge at 100 Hz or close to it.   The capacitors are for RESONANCE.  Isn't that interesting, resonance once again. He mentioned the need to TUNE, so the secret is not just the "generator", which by the way I have a feeling is nothing more than what we've seen already for some time (perendev, reluctance motors, adams motors, Bedini, etc...) just magnets on a rotor moving past coils.   The trick is resonance, anybody do that before?

3)  It's too bad inventions like these are tied to "Ministries" as they can put people off.

4)  He mentioned the fact that it took lots of years of experimentation (50 people or so) to perfect the device, which finds inspiration in the work of a number of scientists (Tesla, Moray, Stubblefield, Kelly, etc..)

I have a hunch this could be real guys, but beware, DON'T SEND MONEY to these guys.  It's so ridiculous , $100 /hour to talk?  How about making a better video first so all questions about hidden cables can be addressed.  And a public demonstration, etc..

Remember,  my comments are all based on the ASSUMPTION that what they say in the video is truthfull.  I'm giving them the benefit of doubt.   Innocent until proven guilty.

Is anybody friendly with any Amish in Ohio {not easy to do for us 'english']  but could be worth the trip. I know an Amish fellow in P.A. but they don't use phones I will be traveling their in two weeks I.ll look him up Chet

Note,  it's not easy to resonate at such low frequency, and you need a lot of capacitors for that, which is exactly what Tim has.

Here's a diagram to illustrate what I'm thinking so far.   We know that motor windings have inductance and can resonate separately to the generator (or motor) function they may provide.  Fluxes due to resonance and flux cutting are separate and each does it's thing.

So, imagine a motor that is tuned to resonate electromagnetically, as in LC resonance  where f = 1 / [sqrt(LC)*2*pi]  where the frequency also happens to be the rotational frequency as well.   With proper phasing,  we can drive current at the peak voltage, and hence "create" more power by the judicious use of the cycle.

I've always wondered if that was possible, this gives me hope that it might be possible.

Here's some frame grabs:

1)  Motor seems to have 4 poles

2)  Lots of capacitors, and we see what may be the inverter (small yellow/aluminum box)
