WTF ? 35000 $ without counting indiegogo 18000 $.

Bad news.  HopeGirl is using the alleged "over unity" clip that is actually under unity to solicit funds.  It's simply unethical behaviour.

Let's call a cat a cat: it's a scam. 
I'm more worried that kind of things will do a lot af damage in the OU community where I believe that are honest researcher out there...
In fact when I see some new-age hippy things like "HopeGirl", "One People Community", "Our mother Gaia", "Love people",
->put every new age terminology here<- , where demonstration are performed in a village in the middle of nowhere it tend to raise in my head some big red flag. 
Hell, doing science is not the same things as preaching in some new age group...

Here's what a real resistive load looks like. Note that for under a hundred pounds Sterling one may purchase a genuine 2000 Watt resistive load of 50 ohms resistance.

He just needs to push a bit under six and a half amps through that load to dissipate 2 kW. And it will only take a little over 300 volts to do it.

"But our output voltage is in the multi kV range!" Sure... and what happens when you connect an unregulated voltage source to a low impedance load?

Hi;

What they need in reality is called a dump-load controller. This has four control levels
that will gate in the next section of dump-load resistance when the voltage goes
above the present dump-load high level preset or exit that level when the voltage goes
below the present low preset level. It acts against the OU devices own internal impedence.
A high voltage DC to AC inverter (90%->98% eff.) has a large DC input range and the dump-load controller
keeps the DC voltage within that range, wasting energy not being used in the load.
This is designed for wind/power operations where excess energy can not be utilized.
Don't have DC level power?: use a power bridge rectifier to make it. Photoflash cap. Filter Keep attaching
incandescent load lamps to the AC output side of the inverter. Please: only count
fully lit 100Watt bulbs as OU output power. Don't measure circulating power in the
OU device to count as overunity...Overunity power is in output dummy load only. Don't use
LED bulbs or CFL's without taking real wattage into account. As load bulbs come on line
the load-dump controller resistances automatically will drop away. Future designs of the
overunity device can self limit power. Working OK?...remove dummy load, reprogram the inverter
and hook it to the grid line and pump energy back toward utility generator.

Under some static operating conditions a static load should be identifiable that results in maximum output.  Wind turbines face highly variable source conditions so having a variable load is important.  Solar inverters all have MPP controllers for the same reason. 

These guys have to contend with he very dangerous 2KV.  I personally would put the output through a step down transformer and then couple to a load through a variac.  That way the load can just be dialed in.  If the phase is fixed then a voltmeter and ammeter combination is enough to indicate relative power so that the operator can dial the variac to the maximum power point.  Step wise resistors are just a poor man's approximation for the variac.  If they aren't going to use a step-down transformer, then the resistor stack is a more practical and safe way to deal with that 2KV than trying to locate and then operate a 2KV variac.  Such a thing is likely to be quite expensive.  I don't think that even stage lighting equipment goes that high.

(PCB)Does anybody present at these gatherings even raise their hand and mention rms or power factor.  I for one have not heard these terms in any of their videos or seen them mentioned in blog posts of others reporting back to the masses.

The reason that you do not see any of these things is because they are more of a gathering of "like minded" supporters of Hope Moore. These groups are very supportive of each other and and Hope Girl is using this to rally support in the pretence that they are working to help those who are in need of electricity around the world. Unfortunately she is grabbing every little piece of information that comes her way and sensationalizing it in order to ramp up her following. I am sure that James is not even aware of what she is putting out there until after the fact. There is an increasingly larger number of people all over the world that will be drawn to this. Not because of its technical merits or its breaking new age technology. That is why I think that the majority of the funding is coming in from people who are spiritually snared by the Hope Girl campaign.

So what your saying is that this is really a cult? Facts. engineering truths and alike do not really matter here. I'm wondering if Jamie part of the cult or just a tool?

The problem with a transformer or variac is it acts like a CVT which will pass unused power back to a previous stage, but if that stage
can't regulate, then passing the power back to it serves no purpose. The first stage where power comes from drive motor can regulate
but I think we can bet it won't do so with full stability. If the machine comes up non segmented (no-adjustments except for final load)
then it will come up cleanly for step resistance too. As far as converter impedence mismatch, that is the problem, the unit needs to
be able suport the low impedence of the load with stability so that it can claim to have powered that load.

Fortunately for photovoltaics they tend to behave with stability whether one uses their energy or not. I believe the MPP alogrithm used
might introduce instability into a sensitive source.

One additional thing. It may be desirable to have an RFI "hash" filter between QEG (dc) output and an inverter
to delete spikes from static and out of band noise like from 400Hz ripple. You may want to look up the following
TE.CORCOM component under the the title of;; It's not necessarily designed to be used on the DC side but
after checking that is where I would put it. These are generally inexpensive insurance. I didn't check price on
this one. Again this low impedence to "noise" might mess with QEG operation.
