The other aspect of all these “demos” I find amusing is how scaling everything up, with more hoses, more wires, and bigger claims seems to somehow translate into more convincing, when a 1 watt clearly self-sustaining unit inside a film cannister would be far more effective.
I know. Why would a customer want to buy 100 faulty units with a huge generator hooked to them, when it would be cheaper to buy and lose money on just one?
The Vorts have a good explanation for this...

The answer is clear if you look at his most recent failure. He came up with a
device for doing thermoelectric conversion(waste heat to electricity) at a much
better efficiency thanwas available. Even though it was verified by
outsiders, it turned out to beimpossible to scale up to industrially useful
size... theefficiency sank to useless levels when he attempted to make larger
versions. So he learned the hard way that you can have a demotechnology that
can mysteriously stop working when you attempt to scale it to industrial
levels.
