Selfrunning Waterpump-generator device runs 60 Watts lamp...

Xaero,

Maybe I should have explained myself a little more but I asked him many questions along with three other people who were asking many questions as well. Two of them were there for documentation. He did say the motors he used were all air cooled, but I'm not an electrical engineer and he repeated that the motors would overheat from the force of a generator under a load. Looking around his garage, I saw all the electric motors, water wheels, and all the disabled generators. There were also many different parts around the garage. It did not seem like this was just something that was thrown together. I wanted to see this thing running with my own eyes because I could not believe what he has come up with. To me, there is a lot more going on here than you and I could imagine. He answered every question that he was asked and I couldn't see any faults. I think he has just worked hard on this project to get to where he is today. To quickly explain the light bulb shutting off after he pulled the plug from the waterpump - if I remember correctly what he said was that the generator had a relay switch on it to prevent low voltage backfeed. But I could be wrong about that. If you have any questions, try emailing Hardy yourself. Good luck.

Larger motor with some fail-safe electronics/voltage regulators and perhaps a mechanical governor for the generator can protect it. A water jacket with a small volume of circulating through a radiator can be used to cool the motor as well. Regardless, it appears to me that the water wheel and pump aren't necessary if the overheating issues can be controlled, which they can be in a much more efficient manner than they are now.

If you believe your eye-witness account then there is obviously much more involved here because nothing less than perhaps a 1000% efficient generator could sustain itself with all the mechanical losses involved with the water system.

Unless Mr. Hardy reveals exactly how is generator works and successful replications follow, he has no more credibility than other alleged inventors that have failed to deliver.

Here is one of the biggest hurdles Mr. Hardy has to overcome.
COUNT THE COST AND COMPARE THIS TO A SOLAR PANEL.
The solar panel will win every time. AND THEY ARE GETTING BETTER AND CHEAPER. They work everytime and I used mine for 15 years with no diminishing return or need of repair. Because of this I doubt that the Hardy device will ever go anywhere.

   Except on cloudy, stormy days and when the sun goes down. No sun, no power. Same with wind, no wind no power. Both are unpredictable. On the other hand, 60 watts cant cut it either, try about 10,000 average for a house.

If this device is in fact real, there is no question that its in fact the generator responsible for the "magic". The water paddle and pump don't really do anything except serve as a very inefficient load. All we need is to replicate the generator but of course thats not possible as we don't have a diagram of the circuit. Water is not necessary and not worth the danger when near electricity.

There's no point wasting time on this until the inventor shares how his generator works.
