Think that is funny? (Me too...)
This is my opinion on this,
and I feel I have this right.
I feel that having to purchase
the whole ten coils set complete
is a big mistake on their part.
Assuming you look at the video
I linked to below and see both
the coils and the boards in it.
The 4K is not such a gouge at all.
Just machining costs and wire poundage considered,
then there is the silicon farm of power parts...
But it should be offered as a starter kit.
Everything mechanical only,
and the sense & lightshow section,
and with ONLY ONE COIL + BOARD.
Then a separate kit with one coil
and the parts to populate the board.
You could buy the prime mover complete,
and finish it in nine additional steps.
That would have been far more approachable
by people in these trying financial times we live in.
I have called and written Rick and John about this,
and even posted at the Yahoo group about this
(the posts were deleted...).
Amazingly juvenile activity if you ask me...
Seems they think it is a secret of some kind or something. LOL
Well the "Official" infomercial shows Rick's kit at the end:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA2KtZ45nXAYou can save an MP4 of it for stills and rewinds here:

http://rpmgt.org/order.htmlAnyway, it is NOT a copy of John's unit at all.
Not even close at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, a person that has received (Some of) that kit
has responded to my email request for additional info.
It has (Single) Neo's about 1" long and 3/8"x3/8".
Not even close to what John used in his.
There are NOT pairs of magnets
pressed north-to-north in this kit !
Here are a few snaps of the infomercial's vid.
I included the aluminum wheel too,
this kit powers some lights for show.
I suspect these are for that,
and possibly the timing coil too.
UPDATE:
I have just received confirmation email pics
than confirm a (Single) NEO plastic magnet holder.
NO SHARP NORTH.
