We thought it would be helpful here if we answered a few of the most frequently asked questions:
Can you guarantee me that you will be successful with your program?
No. We are trying to do something that many people believe is impossible and that very powerful self interest groups will likely try to stop. There are many obstacles to overcome. We can guarantee that we are giving it our best efforts. But, if we are not successful, we believe you have risked very little in signing up as a witness in our program.
Will the generator be noisy?
No. It will not make any more noise than the typical central air condition unit that is outside many homes.
How big will the unit be?
We expect that it will fit on a 3 foot by 3 foot pad outside your home.
What happens if the generator breaks down?
You will not be without power. You will still be connected to the grid and can continue to get power from your electric company. If our equipment fails, you'll be able to call someone to come out and repair it. We will even pay your electric bill during the time our equipment was being repaired.
What powers the generator?
The Sundance generator is powered by the Hummingbird Motor which is powered by batteries and permanent magnets. The magnets in the motor/generator produces far more power than the energy coming from the batteries. Some of the extra power that is produced by the generator will be used to keep the batteries charged at all times. The unit will be completely self-contained and will require no outside power source.
When will you release the technology?
Yet to be determined. Before releasing it, we must get 1.6 million households signed up to witness local demonstrations. The plan is to have 1.6 million signed up by the end of 2008 or before.
How long will we get the 26,000 kW of electricity per year?
For as long as we can continue to sell the excess power commercially.
How does the generator produce power without any outside energy source?
The unit we plan to release will consist of a Sundance generator (the larger component) and a Hummingbird motor. In 1999, we demonstrated the Hummingbird motor to thousands of people in 45 cities. At each show, we proved that the motor was 5 to 1 efficient. Then in 2001, UCSA took the Sundance generator on a tour of all 50 states. Again thousands of people saw the demonstrations. The Sundance was shown to be at least 100% efficient. Both the Sundance and the Hummingbird achieve their efficiency due to the powerful permanent magnets that drive them. In each of these demonstrations, people were invited to test our efficiency claims using their own test instruments and in every case they found our claims to be true. A bank of batteries drives the motor which then drives the generator. A small amount of power from the generator is used to keep the batteries charged. We are not claiming to have a perpetual motion machine or to be breaking the laws of conservation of energy.
