Okay, so, say you have a machine which puts out 500 Watts with 50 Watts input and the model cost $5,000. Would anyone buy one?
I would, in a heartbeat. Especially if you can arrange to eliminate the 50 W input after she revs up, and self-sustain.
I am not sure exactly what I would do with it, but heck, I bought a TRS-80 computer and a bunch of other useless but interesting machines back in the day, and I have never regretted it. It was money well spent.
Actually, seriously, I know exactly what I would do with it. I would show it to people, to convince them that the technology is real. I have some credibility with people who have money. Enough credibility to get them to look at a machine and take me seriously for the few hours it takes to demonstrate the gadget. Most people who invent such machines could not get their attention for even two minutes, because they lack all credibility.
It would be helpful if the gadget was reasonably portable, not too fragile, and could be set up by an amateur (me) in a few hours at most. You can't bring such things on airplanes any more but I trust it fits in the back of a Prius.
