Daniel, gracias por tu comentario. Hemos tenido especial cuidado en no copiar patentes personas. Nuestro progreso ha demostrado que no ha copiado alguna patente, sino que han mejorado en muchos de crear nuestra idea.

buena idea pero creo que es una copia de una idea patentisada en Republica Dominicana por un ingeniero. De todos modos es bueno que alguien la ponga a funcionar.

As others have said, there is no free lunch. The way Campbell introduced it (and with his usual serious face) gave the impression that this would solve our energy crisis. That, of course, is nonsense. This is more energy consevation (useful but not a panacaea) than energy production.

I guess the placement of this device would be key. If you just randomly installed them in a mall you would be wasting fuel from the car to power the mall. However, a lot of parking lots have speed bumps to keep people from speeding, so if those were replaced with these then there would be no additional loss of power from the car. I think this is a great concept, but scary if misused. A mall could install these all over and have their customers power the entire complex with fuel from the car.

errol: the cost of the generating system would be offset over time by using less electricity from the power grid. It would however be wrong to install these on flat level ground unless they were replacing speed bumps.

Craig has got the picture - you don't get something for nothing. At first I thought the TV3 story was an early April 1st joke but obviously the boys believe they are on to some sort of free energy. Instead of installing all those judder pipes in the car park why not collects a few cents from each customer to pay for the supermarket power usage. Don't give up chaps we need need new ideas particularly in the energy field.
