this is a long article I'll read it later (when I get my tin foil hat ready)
sounds like another "cold fusion" story to me. i.e. baloney.
bump for read later
"It could power his whole house, but if he turns it on, the government may confiscate it."
Looks like it's time for him to disconnect from the utility, turn it on and get some concrete output figures, before the government rushes to "confiscate" it.
Henry Ford didn't have a license for his first car, but he drove it in public anyway!

Then how did the author of the article find out about it?
The complete lack of evidence is the surest proof the conspiracy is working.
{yawn}, I've been keeping up with and reading about this stuff for 15 years on http://www.keelynet.com . Even before the web, they had an old school modem powered BBS I used to read on. Interesting articles, especially for those who know a little (but not enough to refute). Nothing has ever come of this stuff..
This is the stuff that will change the world when it becomes true. Government has suppressed this work for years.
Let those nasty thieving arabs eat their oil.

Faraday, and Tesla would disagree.

Imagine that.
In 5 seconds with Google I determined that "Bruce DePalma" died in 1997. This article is older than that. (Yes, it's the same Bruce De Palma, follow the links.)
Sounds like a snake-oil scam. If he cared one whit for the world at large, he'd just publish his findings publically so anyone could build one. The FedGov can't intimidate everyone with an internet connection, can they? The first company that builds one and turns it on (if it works) would likely hire him as a consultant anyhow. If it worked, the commercialization would be elementary. Easy conclusion? It doesn't work.
any time somebody come up and says that they have a magic bullet bu the governmetn will crack down on them if they brought it out, I get suspicious. This story has "crack pot" written all over it.
but don't feel down, a lot of people were taken in by Pins and Fleischmann's cold fusion malarkey too.
Interesting read!
The N-Machine is more of a modern version of Faraday's Rotating-Magnet Electrical Generator (homopolar).
Hey, I got an idea for a FREE power device too. But you gotta be careful and wear rubber gloves and don't stand in a puddle of water when you're installing it on your electric meter. I'm keeping the details secret until I get a patent. Should be here any day now...
