FTC Energy's Self-Running Linear Generator

[Xaverius]

He claims they can make an OU device, but it seems to be only about 150% device.   So you would be doing a lot of cranking to get the wattage/ wear & tear he claims.  You can get easier & faster drawdown on the electric bill by using the NG engine?  Still sounds fishy.  But 1-2 cents per kwh vs 15-18 from the power co.  hmmm.

What is the NG engine?

NG = Natural Gas powered internal combustion engine.  That's a primary config he wants to sell, also with a wind turbine.
Asked about production, when could I get one, "that depends",  gonna have to have one running in front of me, with flowmeters, wattmeters, may have to an all electric OU model running, or side by side comparison of a conventional generator.  Said he plans to have units positioned for sale soon in Maryland, or up the east coast.  guess I have to wait.  Don't think he was open to me coming down to Fla to see the unit.  but on the website, has posted third party verification of OU as of 7/19

If true, I think I could get emergency backup and zeroize my energy bill for with even a 5KW model, running about 8hrs a day if I got my math right.  I'd be plugged into the newest source of clean homegrown energy, Marsalas shale gas, cheap to start with, and make electricity much cheaper than the power company, in a weekend install time, for about $7500.  It takes a %30-$50K solar power installation on the roof and it still couldn't provide that kind of power.  Where can you get a few hundred dollar return per month on an investment these days?

When he wouldn't even begin to give an estimate of when he could deliver a unit, the best thing I could think is he is still trying to get his production line set up?  Oh well, still hoping...

sampojo,  Your contact and replies says even more IMO that it's just a scam.   If he had real OU he could easily show it.  Maybe he is hoping for that also.  I wouldn't touch anything he's got now unless he's giving it away free.  If he is claiming OU there is no reason to 'draw your own conclusion' as Avalon mentioned he says.   I also agree with Avalon that it's just an overpriced generator with a gimicky sales pitch.  Still it will be good to keep an eye on his website but I would not advise anyone to buy anything unless they can prove thoroughly the efficiency or OU.  One also needs to ask about longevity of the unit as some generators can be very easy to destroy if they go over a rated speed.

They do post  a company study of an event that says that they verified overunity power production, July 19th.  I asked about coming down to see it, he didn't say no.  If true, I would think you would have the electric motor to generator hookup running in the showroom.  He said they were going to position some units up the east coast, not as far from me.  I want to see if I can get my brother to go there to check things out in Florida.  But kind of warming to the idea of putting a wind turbine on my roof.

new video posted on youtube realracecom channel on the FTC Generator.  they are claiming a 92% efficiency.  Seems like a discrepancy compared to things said and implied on the web site.  Might have to call Joe Shepard up and ask if it is the same generator.
