The details of this make no sense, do they? Not even sure why I am wasting time on it (other than $4.85 gasoline in CA)... among the many incongruities:
...that the guy would hire a patent attorney, have it drafted and filed professionally (min. $15,000 possibly much more) ... first filed in 2005, so it is not new ... terrible quality video, so he is NOT trying to "wow you over" with glitz and hyperbole, like the DBK solar stuff which is the obvious kind of scam. ... if your were out to scam investors from the git-go, wouldn't you put more effort into the video, and file the patent overseas at a fraction of the US patent costs? ... video could be easily faked, as Robin says, but there is no real effort to make it a "good fake" so do you scam investors with a bad fake? ... the Pelton wheel is very crude and non-optimum design with no buckets, as Richard implies, and the nozzle may be important - yet - has a simple venturi effect ever been shown to have any kind of anomalous effect? ... the device looks cheap and leaky. The guy will be luck to avoid electrocution even with all the rubber. Assuming that over three years of his time went into it, and the patent, so the bloke must have put a major effort into this project - hmmm - do fairly unsophisticated inventors really scam that way, without a working device. I mean he has obviously made it so hard to invest anything - without making a trip in person to see it actually working - that in a funny sort of way - it is hard for me to believe that it doesn't work, given the above.
