I had once an old car like this. I had to add water for the radiator every day or two.

Yeah... well:

Q: I thought you need a running stream or a pond or river to create this amount of energy? ?
A: Yes you are correct however with the setup of many coils and magnets make up for the amount of energy required for each application.


Of course, magnets!

They don't take credit cards, 50% deposit with order.

Can't decide if it is a scam or just the relatively well presented work of another free energy nut job.

"Now if you take a look, there is no wires" Yeah, just two batteries and two 2000W inverters. He has no shame left at all.

I think you're confused. This statement from their website will make everything completely clear:

We have developed a portable water powered generator that creates a large amount of energy to run our portable generators that generate power simply by adding water.

And the first thing they mention in the video is the tyres...
"there's no wires no extension cords, nothing powering this unit"
... except these 2 honking great BATTERIES!  :palm:

Is anyone really dumb enough to fall for this.... sad thing is probably yes.

so the more water you add the more water you get ? i see no laws of physics were abused , bent or otherwise harmed ...

Wow, look at that. What are all those random unconnected parts? If that thing to the left of the batteries is a real generator you could put an actual engine in it use the batteries as a UPS. Although it might be just a motor to make noise.

A real water generator would have to use a small turbine and connect to a hose or something.

Find out what happens when you actually put water in it. >:D :-BROKE

There's nothing in the pictures to let you judge the size of these things. Maybe they are a couple of kilometres on each side. The water bill might be a bit steep, though.

Actually, you can burn water to produce excess energy.
However, HF is a nasty, nasty poisonous stuff, so their "no fumes" claim is so false...

I don't get it.  He would only need to rip off a single person before being charged with fraud.  Is he planning on taking a bulk of pre-orders then flying non-stop to Switzerland?

The most touching detail: the water hose connection.

BTW, wondering what that idiot does in daily life.  :clap:  :clap:

Bah, try chlorine trifluoride, or FOOF.

This one amuses me the most. 15kW @ 110V is 136A. 15kW @ 230V is 65A you would need a massive socket on that, along with much bigger coils etc inside there. utter rubbish.
