This bit is interesting
The Q2 Motor Generator kit is two Quanta Chargers working together with one acting as a sine wave peak generator. Experiments include extended run time by connecting output to input to further power itself. A source of external input is required, such as solar.
Umm...... why would a motor generator require an external power source to run it? I thought the whole idea was to generate power rather than consume solar power to run the thing :?

Errr...
Is this some sort of 'perpetual motion' machine! :?
Sounds like it will eventually disappear up its own basic aperture! :lol:

It looks like a fidget spinner that all the little kids have at the moment. I think they must be the replacement for yo-yo's

I think it is being portrayed as a perpetual motion device with a PTO to generate power as a bonus. In reality if it needs solar power to run it, it appears to be an exercise in extracting hard earned $$ for the instructions on how to build a complex device to consumes solar power :lol:

It's an interesting concept, looks good, nice video and web site. :roll:

Not as good as the one I read of many decades ago. It was 3 flywheels of different sizes driving a car generator and powered by a little 6v motor, they guaranteed it would produce at least twice as much energy as it consumed and would solve the worlds energy problems. :lol:

magnets will do it, just got to work out how to intermittantly block them ;)

:o You mean like an electric motor????? Ummmm...... I think it's already been done :lol:

no, like shading the sun with a bit of cardboard.
The method cannot use (much) power to shade it nor be affected by the magnetism.
Like lead sheet for example, so dense not much passes through it -but magnetism does.
Magnets need both poles to operate, thus a pretty big call.
