Thanks,
regarding Patent Numbers ,I did not ask .
I actually felt bad for Mr.Potter ,some Jerk posted his device on 3 different "energy" forums
this weekend and then people started Buying it on Paypal....
After seeing Groundloops close up pics and comments at OUR as well as Luc's , Brad's and other comments here,The MO is self evident,i felt no need to pry any further [He knocked me onto my heels with the three forum comment ]
However I did feel the need to ask some duty cycle questions ,run times and design load questions [perhaps redundant but....?]
Ok
Mr.Potter sounds like a very genuine and sincere fellow that perhaps has gotten in a bit over his head with
just what his market will be,he received 1500 Emails on Sunday and spent the entire day hosting phone calls...
I'll be brief
No it does not run on the garden hose
the 5000 watt unit actually makes 7435 watts, the excess runs the water pump and ancillary systems
yes it does run at design load 100% duty cycle for periods of 12 hrs nonstop
then must be cooled down for a few hours and run again up to another 12 hour cycle ,He stated components can
be upgraded to extend this cycle time, however that would most likely raise the price
and is probably going to happen down the road.
He has a factory on a building schedule with delivery dates on or about Dec 15 2014
As mentioned he is excepting NO money upfront.
there were persons over the weekend that jumped on his Paypal 'Buy it know link"
he is remedying that with those folks.
He stated that the machine is 100% money back guaranteed as advertised .
you can pick one up when he gets them in stock [no present inventory for sale]
I did mention his International patent issues [meeting with "that" lawyer this week]
presently only Canadian patents,as I said I did not ask for the specific patent info.
In summary we have no request for money up front, a 100% guarantee on "performs as advertised"
a running working prototype which performs "as advertised" ...
and no issues whatsoever with testing or demonstrating once product arrives from factory.
also noted by others here alibaba seems to be running with this outside of The US ??
This is not an open source project ,this is a business man looking to sell units
I will probably not be calling Mr.Potter again, we don't do business here nor will
we be needed for "proof" claims [so it seems at this point]
However I do know some fellows that will be exploring the open source work previously associated with very similar claims in years past
respectfully
Chet
PS
I will not be participating in any crystal ball anonymous scam claim nonsense .

Deliver as promised.
