Electromagnetic
> Magna
Coaster Motor Co - Alleged over-unity motor and generator is
said to produce electric power without using fuel. A home unit is planned for
production in fall of 2008. Several demonstration videos have
been posted. (PESWiki; June 28)

Tesla
/ Wireless
Transmission > Tesla's
Magnifying Transmitter - This alternate version of a Tesla Coil is a high power harmonic oscillator that Nikola Tesla proposed for the wireless transmission of electrical energy. He originally termed it self-regenerative resonant
transformer. (PESWiki; June 6)

GEET
/ Fuel
Efficiency > Retrofits
> Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter
Coming Soon - Better World Technologies presents a catalytic converter replacement that
legally pre-treats the fuel for complete combustion, rather than burning what is left over after incomplete combustion.
Pre-heating the fuel along a rod turns the fuel into plasma, to burn a
wide varieties of fuel efficiently and cleanly. (PESWiki; June 22)

Magnet
Motors > Kedron
Discovers Inexpensive New Energy Source - Kedron Corporation
presents extensive data in support of a new, extremely inexpensive, pollution-free source of electricity. Two permanent magnets of a particular shape can be pulled apart along a prescribed path using less work than the amount produced when the magnets come together along a different path.

Electromagnetic > Millenial
Motors - The Magnetronic Motor is said to use a small amount
of magnetic force to control a large amount of magnetic force. Motor
concept is tested and the final prototype is being developed, with
debut for distributors scheduled for July 2007. Company is planning to
retrofit cars to produce pollution free vehicles.

Biofuels
> Ethanol
> Ethanol
Woes - There are factors that must be considered when weighing
the overall plausibility of Ethanol as a fuel source. It competes with the food supply, driving up food prices. As a fuel it is hard on engines. The crops growth contributes to top soil depletion.

Engines
/ Thermal
Electric > Low
Level Heat Powers Low-Cost Hydraulic Engine - Deluge has
developed a
thermal hydraulic engine that is now ready for commercialization. The
Natural Energy Engine, requires no combustion, operates virtually
silently, and generates no emissions. Utilizing low level heat energy,
180ฐF (82ฐC), it is suitable for solar, geothermal, or waste heat
applications.

Tidal
/ River
> Verdant
Leads River/Tide Energy Pursuit - Verdant Power is a world leader
in commercializing low-impact kinetic hydropower solutions, harnessing the
energy from river, tide, and man-made channels. Prototype array is presently producing power for customers.

Electromagnetic
> Chas
Campbell Free Energy Generator - Austrialian inventor demonstrates a prototype generator with input of 800 W, able to self-run off the 3500 W output, with energy left over to run a drill, a saw, and other appliances. Claims he can scale it up to 1 megawatt output.

Thermal
Electric > A Sound Way to Turn Heat into Electricity
- University of Utah physicists developed small devices that turn heat into sound and then into electricity via piezoelectric conversion. The technology holds promise for changing waste heat into electricity, harnessing solar energy and cooling computers and radars.

Wind
> Vertical
Axis > Neo-AeroDynamic
Wind/Water Turbine - The patent-pending turbine for wind and
water, invented by Phi Tran, employs lift on the leeward edge, harnessing
the turbulence that usually impedes efficiency. The price point is
expected to be better than fossil-fuel-generated electricity, even in low
wind areas, making it ideal for city/urban roof top and back yard
settings. (PESWiki; May 31)

Thermal
Electric > Acoustic
Stove, Fridge, Generator Could Aid Third World - The "Stove
for Cooking, Refrigeration and Electricity," or SCORE, could help
improve the health and quality of life for the two billion or so people in
the world who cook over open fires. The SCORE thermoacoustics technology
promoted by a multi-institutional project converts heated gas into sound
waves which can be used to cook, cool, and/or generate electricity. (PESWiki;

Waste
to Energy / Electrolysis
> Welcome
back, Xogen Technologies Inc. - Canadian company is developing a
Brown's-gas-like
technology for the treatment of wastewater, producing energy in the
process. Approach would vastly reduce treatment plant footprint
and eliminate production of biosolids. Patented electrolysis
process allegedly splits water into H/O gas with less electrical current than is predicted by standard laws.

Electromagnetic
> Self-running Bedini motor -
Long-time participant in various Bedini motor replication projects, Rick Friedrich posts videos, photos, diagrams, and explanation of his set-up, which he says measures a net gain in energy "from nature". (PESWiki; May 15)

Conservation > Grey Water > Sink-to-Toilet
Combo - A simple way to optimize water usage without setting
up a costly gray water system. The sink uses the inflow of water
headed to refill the toilet bowl. You can therefore use the
water twice by washing your hands in it before it fills the bowl.
One-size-fits-all retrofit available. (PESWiki; May 8)

Wind
> VAWT
> StatoEolien
Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine - The
power curve of this French design is surprisingly different than power curves for
conventional turbines because the output increases until the velocity
of the wind is above the lower hurricane levels. (PESWiki; May

Magnet
Motors > Lacroix
Magnet Motor Prototype Video - Jeffery Lacroix came up with an
idea for a magnet motor in 2004, then in 2006 he saw that Mike Brady's Perendev
motor integrates the essential design, minus some particulars which
Jeffery has recently implemented in a working prototype. (PESWiki /

Hot
Water > Edwards
Hot Water Heat Pump - is like a solar water heater without
collector panels. It operates like a refrigerator only in reverse;
transferring the heat in the surrounding air to the stored water. It is
extremely energy efficient - using approximately one third the energy of a
conventional electric water heater. (PESWiki; Apr. 24)

Electromagnetic
> Electric Motor Secrets DVD by Peter Lindemann
- In his DVD presentation, drawing on 30 years of his own research and
development, Lindemann explains in simple terms what back EMF is, and how
one can build motors and generators that do not involve back-EMF. He
asserts that such designs can improve upon the most effective motors of
today by many-fold, not just a few percent. (PESWiki; Apr. 21)

Wind
> Plastic
Micro Wind Turbines for Sale - Two of the biggest hurdles for using wind power have been cost and the need for strong winds. A Hong Kong businessman/inventor has found a way to overcome those problems with
plastic, bringing the generation cost down to around 1 cent per
kilowatt-hour. (PESWiki; Apr. 17)

(OT) Tesla
> Teslascope -- Extraterrestrial Radio Transmitter
- Radio transmitter designed by Nikola Tesla was intended to communicate with extraterrestrial life on other planets.
Speak into one end, and the signal goes out the other end as a cosmic ray
emitter, and vice versa. (PESWiki; Apr. 17)

Water
/ Recycling >
Grey
water recycling by Brac Systems - Collects water from shower
drains, bathtubs and laundry, then filters and pumps it through a
dedicated supply line to the toilet tanks for flushing, reducing average
household water consumption by a third. It is designed into the
plumbing of new construction and existing residential homes. (PESWiki;
