Home powerpack, no more electric bills....want one?

OK…..Hypothetically?……5 years from now……

For £4,500? You can now buy your own…. lets call it…errr…a ‘GENERPOWERPACK4’, what is it?

It generates electricity ……But it does not use any fuel……well a tiny bit…….and is almost silent…..It’s the size of a domestic washing machine……it provides a constant 4kW of power at 230 volts (pure sine wave) 50Hz. It is hard wired into your consumer unit / fuse box.

Or for the smaller (size of a wall mounted boiler) 2.8kW ‘GENERPOWERPACK3’ just [STRIKE]plugs into a standard 13Amp socket.[/STRIKE] edited hard wired in to a ring main converted socket, spur

You do not require a connection to the grid as the unit is powered by………….sorry I can’t reveal how it works…..at the moment……!

There is no government subsidy……no FIT’s……no standing charge, just buy…..connect…. and start supplying your own electricity.

All you have to do is, only use / switch on combinations of appliances up to the 3.8kW load limiter, you cannot exceed the 4 kW max at any time, i.e. only run heavier electrical loads like the washing machine at night, do not run more than an accumulative load, for example, kettle 2.2kW, (TV’s, SKY, DVD, PC’s) 600W + 20 x 8W LED lamps 160W + fridge 160W + freezer 300W, central heating controls and circulating pump 150W, (A wireless monitor shows real time total wattage and an alarm sounds when getting close to max, (e.g. 3.8kW).

Interview with the inventor….

“We knew this would be a success story but this is incredible”…………”And from our latest records we have sold over 500,000 units since we started in 2012, and now with order books filled for the next 5 years with projected sales for next year of 2.4 million units, 3.9M units in year 3, 5.8M unit’s in year 4 and 8 Million units in year 5…we now have 6 plants with 10 units rolling off the production line every minute, 28,000 units a day, we are now exporting to six countries”

NEWS

MARCH 3rd 2018

Thousands of these powerboxes are being bought by homeowners, housing associations, small to medium businesses, shops, estate agents, schools, medical centres, dentist practices, Vets, garden centres etc…After EDF pulled out of the UK market some years ago, The last of the ‘big two’ energy suppliers, ‘BEoN power utilities’ is going into administration with fears that as more of these ‘GENERPOWERPACK’ units are being bought we just can’t compete………one power station stated that “we are seeing continued reduction in grid use, four years ago we were generating xxxxxxGW….this year we are generating just xxGW, people just got smart and this caught us out….. over the last four years we have made 240,000 people redundant and what did they do with their severance pay……went out and bought one of these power pack things……We have appealed to the Prime Minister Sir Alan Sugar,…. he told us to shut up......stop moaning…..pack up and go home.
Sir Alan has just bought another 16 of the large commercial 35kW units.

Wake up AL…..stop dreaming!

OK, remember, that was all hypothetical, but if…just if…. such a thing was available (it might be soon), how many of you would consider purchasing one?
Do you see any problems, pitfalls…..?
Would it get stopped by the government for some reason?

All details and figures above are fictional……..please don’t start getting abusive, this is just for fun.

That would be extremely dangerous.

Yep overlooked that one......OK, hard wired in to a ring main converted socket, spur

Of course. I'd also like half a kilo of flying pig bacon, along with it.

For some reason this makes me think of the mini nuclear reactors that were proposed in Japan not so long ago. The idea was they would be small enough to put in the basement of a large building in order to power it. Sounded like a crazy idea and the Fukushima disaster probably did for it if anyone was still thinking of it.

The other option would be one of the power packs powered by radioactive decay, similar to those used on satelites. I believe they were also used to power radio beacons in remote parts of the Soviet Union once. But again probably not something you'd want in the kitchen -;)

How does it work? what energy source does it convert into electricity? and any thought of removing `the big6 ` from the equation they would either buy and bury or discredit and bury the whole idea. or the government declares it a state secret - and bury it.

Jeez.....as if I haven't got enough to do.......;)

This sounds something similar to the box i've developed to fit to my car and it now runs on fresh air.
If anyone would like the plans to make one themselves please send a cheque for £25k.

A while back I played in a group, and I went to plug in something and found thet the helpful techie has wired some cables in the lighting rig with the plug live! I gave him an earful and spend an evening checking over everything.

Look up E-cat. Small nuclear fusion units for domestic use. A couple of 1MW commercial units have been sold and 5kW home heating units are anticipated before the end of 2012. Fuel is nickel powder and hydrogen gas which fuses in a nuclear reaction. There is no C02 and no radioactive waste. A fuel cell will last 6 months and will be recharged a bit like your barbeque gas cannister. Bear in mind a lot of people think this is impossible and it's a scam but NASA scientists and a lot of top nuclear scientists around the World think otherwise so (for me) the jury's out at the moment. If it is a scam I've not yet found a credible expanation as to how it works - the scam that is?

A lot of top scientists think otherwise - link to actual top scientists who think so?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Catalyzer - The very most I've heard anyone slightly respectable say is that it's interesting, but it needs external verification by a third party. Most take rather harsher views.

There has been no replication of this device by others.
At this point it's on about the same level as telekinesis.

There have been innumerable 'free energy' scams over the years, and I'm quite willing to bet a grand that in 2 years, this will either still have not been proved due to secrecy, or will have been determined to be a fraud.
