General Electric is going to buy out that company and you'll never hear about it again.

Just like General Motors bought out the Fish carburetor (a "myst"ifying device) and it's never been heard about since.

why bother with power saving
just install a gererator, i did, it's brilliant

i have so much power , this one time i got pissed off about my neigbour yapping about how energy prices are so high... that i installed an electric heater in my front garden, and i run it at full blast all day, all year round... confuses the hell out of him, he never yaps bout energy prices ever again...it's brilliant

you don't need 10 of them
1 will do
just add more flywheels, it's a modular design

In fact through thermal loses of the transformer you will loose a little energy.
Someone with a physics degree could tell you a lot more about it.
Seemed to do a fine job for me.

No physics degree here, but it's my understanding that energy can't be created.

don't worry about it, many folks with a physics degree don't even have the understanding of the gererator...despite it being dead simple...

So Stijn, how many flywheels would I need to power about 10, 1000w lights, along with a few assorted pumps & fans? And would I need to be connected to the power grid. There may be a serious market for this. I'm just saying.

So far i've never been able to draw enough juice to make my one flywheel setup run out
And i'm running my whole house on it, 2x 4000 watt heaters 2x2000 watt, 2000 watt boiler, my kitchen oven & ceramic cookerplate... Microwave, lights and assorted little tidbits

i really should get me some measuring equipment to figure this out, i could probably power my close neigbours houses, but one of them is a taxman, and i don't want to give away this potential source of free untaxed money


oh, and btw, they work exponentially
let's say this one wheel setup does can deliver 20 000 peak watt
adding an extra wheel delivers 400 000 watt

the biggest problem is harnassing all the power, you need heavy equipment, and that might be a bit difficult as it would take up most of my garage space... and the Porsche would have to sleep outside... which is no can do at the mo' , as i'm busy building a rally car out of it...

ppfffTTT You are such a simpleton. "Flywheel" It's a panendermic semi-boloid stator. .. running on pre-amulated swerver bearings. --sheesh.

The swerver bearings must be the key!

Dude, you're confusing the gererator with the muffler bearings

The gererator's core component is a flywheel, i should know, i built mine exactly to the specs given by Weino757

Does anyone want a free gererator?

i should get some kind of medal for resurfacing a glorious thread as the one i just posted
seriously... or at the very least a 200 dollar coupon to shop @ PP...

Hell, I've been Googling for an hour and can't even find out what a gererator is!

Oh, I see.

Czech will be in the mail to you tomorrow (he'll fight like hell, but I'm a lot bigger than he is).

Much obliged.
