I just got an e mail with a link to a company selling something called a Tesla power innovator. Their claim is it can reduce your electrical bill up 82%.
I know the old saying "If it sounds to good to be true it probably is not" The price is $49.00 with a 100% sixty day money back guarantee. When I try to do a search, it seems all of the results have a link to the company selling the product.(I went thru 11 pages of results) also their introductions are almost identical. There are a few U Tube videos showing it in operation but no real description of construction. It seems that if this were true there would more info on it. Has any one ever heard of this? |

That was my main reason for asking about it here. In my original post I thought I made it clear I believed it to be a fraud. I saw some videos of the process but they could be fake as well. I am as cynical as one could be (years in LE)
If you read about Tesla there are some questions that come up up that have not been answered. Was he a total idiot, and are all of his patents fake? |

Tesla was a brilliant man whose insight and theoretical prowess gave us many of the modern conveniences we enjoy today. However, he rather quickly ran off the rails, spending tons of money and effort on poorly conceived and analyzed projects like wireless power transmission, (crappy) mechanical power generators, UHF electrical phenomenon, etc. In his later life, he was flat-broke and in a desperate attempt to secure .gov funding, started in on the really crazy shit. This was the death-ray/cracking the earth in two/free energy type of crap he later became famous for amongst tinfoilers. The irony is that for somebody who (rightly) criticized Edison heavily for his lack of theoretical acumen, Tesla's later work is theoretically unsubstantiated, sloppy, and fails even a back-of-a-napkin analysis. At the end of the day, many of the projects Tesla did after AC power and the AC induction motor are crap. Even his later projects that "worked", like bladeless turbines/compressors, are so inefficient compared to contemporary designs (let alone modern ones) that they were never going to be commercially viable. What I'm getting at here is that Tesla was NOT an idiot, but that every project he developed that actually worked is already being used. All of his "secret" projects aren't used because they just don't work. |

A GREAT, GREAT man....and, in the end, completely and sadly....quackers. |
