Maybe they will be mixing in happy pixies along with the angry pixies, so this will be like binary. :P |

It's a stupid idea! Square wave power! :-DD OH HELL NO!!! Just imagine anything with a speaker turning into... |

After looking at their patents, it doesn't look like a square wave (despite the marketing wank showing just that). There seems to be some sort of sawtooth where the power component is switch off for some small number of microseconds. I haven't seen the equipment at this client in person, just in photos. It LOOKS like decent gear, not something thrown together on a lark, the main unit is neatly rack integrated, the remotes by design are just plain boxes which look decently ruggedized like most industrial gear. I doubt the idea and a proof of concept cost them anywhere near $10 million. |
| Cyberdragon:
Sawtooth is just as bad. When you have a sharp transition, you get unwanted radio waves, just like with a triac chopping a sine wave. So unless they have extensive shielding and filtering (expensive!) it will be aweful at long runs! |
