..with out wind?.. errrrr ok.
not only it isn't open source it is most likely fake.
"Since then, for security purposes, he's dismantled the fuelless motor technology; but the patented "wind turbine" is still powering his home."
its too bad that everytime something looks really promising, for some reason its always dismantled and there is always something missing in the patents to get it to work :/

ALWAYS 99.9% of the time...
Yea, looking at that guys video for Mayor about says it all.
I was thinking that it may be possible to make a generator based on the Gary Westly principal in the picture that would not cause any drag when setup as a generator like in a wind turbine.
If a coil was setup at the neutral line above a stationary magnet, then another magnet on a rotor passing the stationary magnet on the opposite side of the coil, then the rotor magnet could push the field of the stationary magnet more into the steel or pull more away causing the steel to change polarity with the rotor magnets seeing only the other magnet.
I think I will need to test this.
If Jim Boswell's scam turbine does not need any wind, why is he mounting it on a post and why is he calling it a wind turbine?
Food for thought or reason for doubt?
You be the judge.

because.......
"we used to brainstorm how we could introduce these technologies to the market in a less threatening way. One of the things we discussed was adding solar panels or wind turbines to the module to make the thing appear like a conventional renewable energy source, while in reality, the module was not at all dependent on wind but was harnessing free environmental energy of another variety altogether. Neighbors and utilities would see the solar panels or wind turbine and think nothing of the home running on renewable power."
"Because it is a "wind turbine", you can take advantage of the incentives available, depending on what state or country you're in, speeding up the payback period. Also, you're not going to be inundated with questions from neighbors or the utilities. You don't have to wait for the government to validate and come up with some new classification of energy device to include in their incentives. It's not like this is deceptive or fraudulent. It's still very much in keeping with the spirit of the incentives to encourage renewable energy installation."
I agree the disguise is good. But I doubt it was invented by someone running for Mayor. Is just seems the two mind sets just don't go together.
But it is always the single loose screw that always seems to find the only knot hole in the floor!
I hope it's real :-\
@All;
Most likely he is using atmospheric electricity as an energy source. If you look at the
pointy blades of his turbine and the "dirty" tower pictured. I think his idea is a good one.
My feeling is that one could integrate the collection wire of atmospheric electricity with
solar collector pannels and have two separate circuits, one for each type of current.
Even wind powered friction based atmospheric electricity could be brought in the mix,
eventually. Each system then would become a small powerhouse. Note; there is nothing
of "perpetual motion" in his scheme, this is probably why the MIB's didn't attack that
system.
---
Why do things this way? Because legislative bodies only accept a limited set of free
energy technologies. In other words you get the tax advantage for the solar generator
while generating continous energy in a more optimum way. Heck, the district is funding
the whole price of the technology as a grant, if you happen to live in Washington D.C.

Some people will believe anything
Hans von Lieven
Hans,
If you believe that I believe in anything, then I believe you are wrong!
I actually believe in NOTHING. Not HOPE, not GOD, not SCIENCE, not MAN. I only believe in myself and I am starting to doubt that.
I would like to believe in something, but the facts always change my mind.
So if you are looking for someone to believe is a believer, I believe you have found the wrong one!
Science until proven scam!
$15000.? Why so much?
Might as well pay the electric company... that way you wont have to worry about your unit breaking (normal or un-normal wear and tear) during the 5 years and being out of power while waiting on a technician.
Plus the power company is going to charge you to keep your house hooked up to their grid anyway.
Fishy...
Actually,
I'm more interested in his other development
"As if the above technology isn't enough, that one could totally change the landscape of energy and economics, with enough power to run a 400 HP pick-up truck, requiring no fuel, while costing less than $500 in parts, and being relatively simple to build."
Apparently this Jim Boswell inventor was running for Mayor of Fresno California in 2008.

And we all know how much we trust our politicians.. ;)
Boswell has been selling plans for free energy machines for a long time. Everything from magnet motors to gravity wheels. None of his so called devices work. Many people have complained but nothing seems to happen to the guy.

EDIT Here are some of Boswell's expensive plans that a disgruntled buyer published on the net. Judge for yourself.

Hans von Lieven; Thanks for posting these, for what they are.
The idea with any marketing plan is a hook - and this wind turbine has absolutely nothing to do with the hook.
Skepticism has better uptime than most Microsoft Windows Information Servers.
PESN has updated their info:
"March 12 update:
I spoke with Jim again this evening. While he appreciates the attention this is getting because of our coverage, we have caught him at a busy time, compounded by some illnesses in the family. He said he has some prior obligations he needs to take care of through the next month before he can focus in on moving this ahead at a more rapid pace. He plans to forward on to me the validation material as it become available."
Yes, kinda sounds like a politician, always something else to do before restructuring the entire worlds energy supply and getting the trillion dollar a year business going.
Ok, I got time.
Here is a sketch on how to build you own over-unity generator.
I reviewed all of the pdf files...none of them are from Boswell. I'm flying out to CA for a meeting next month, so a first-hand account of his demos/techs will be posted...kind of sad to have to log back into this site just to defend inventors from idiots like you.

So many errors... First of all, this is not a true RMS meter. Secondly, you are meassuring Peak value ! This means, it can be a single high voltage impulse and that's it (and probably it is as this value is not changing)! What is more, I don't really understand what power you are measurring, before you connect your load (the lamp is not flashing at the beggining, so you have no load !). 24kW - you know what you're talking about ? <lol> Funny video indeed !
This should be placed as a comment on youtube, but for some reason I can not post any comment on this video ;]
Perhaps Todd can fly to LA again and offer further protection from all of us

@Airstriker I saw your comments, so you got them up then. Very funny indeed. He counters with the classic 'NASA says it's ok so there'.
The BIG give-away for this being nonsense is his use of the words 'Intellectual property' near the end.
