Here's some information from Lutec that may answer some questions:
Can I buy a LEA for my house/small business.
We designed a beautiful machine that uses about 2kW and outputs 10kW,
it was designed specifically for the domestic market. The problem is the meters attached to the homes that use the electricity are owned by the utilities or the distributors of electricity, and are only designed to read current and then multiply it by a "fixed" voltage.
No one outside of the meter owners is allowed to tamper with these meters(it is the same world wide). Our machines may only require say 10 volts but the meter reads 10 amps and multiples it by whatever voltage is common to the country in question. The USA for example uses 110 volt systems. The homeholder get billed 1.1kW where it should have been only 110 watts if the LEA were attached.
To correct the meters so it actually reads the correct voltage is a simple matter of attaching one wire to the meter and connecting it to the LEA machine. The meter would then read the voltage correctly and automatically multiply the amperage by the voltage.
But, can you imagine any utility being willing to earn less? So we have a problem that will require legislation to get around. In most countries that is a nightmare requiring assistance support and participation of federal state and county government instrumentalities. With all the political manouvering that entails it might be some time before sufficient support can be musterd from the general public and government to take this step.
So where CAN the LEA technology be used.
A 250kW output LEA amplifier uses only 50 kW of electricity as input when under full load. It is therefore capable of outputing around 500% more for 80% less fuel and reducing emissions by up to 80%.
An existing 100MW power station may now have a new output of 500 MW. To do this it will need to have have 2,000 LEA’s attached. These can be spread out in diverse places along the distribution grid at sub stations. There is no upper limit on the size of the power station output to be amplified. A power station with an existing output of 100 MW is used in this paper as an example for ease of calculation. In fact most power stations have many times more output than the 100MW example used.
The LEA 250kW machine stands approximately 6 meters high is 4.8 meters in diameter, is cylindrical in shape and weighs in at 5 tonnes. The eight bearings on the main shaft are the only moving parts The speed of revolution is <100 revs per minute. There is no heat generated in the machine coils so no degradation through heat expansion and contraction of components occurs. The magnets providing the moment and energised magnetic fields of the LEA will last several hundred years without being changed.
The assembly is made from Stainless Steel 316 grade which is non- magnetic and the other structural components are made from aluminium. As in all power stations a commutated type system requiring brushes is favoured over other electronic means of timing because of proven reliability. The brushes will be changed at six monthly periods. These machines are expected and projected to have an efficient working lifespan in excess of fifty years with minimal maintenance.
The carbon emission footprint of the power station using the LEA technology will be positively impacted by the up to 80% reduction of green house gas emissions when compared to other thermally fuelled power stations. Therefore causing financial benefits of carbon credit crtificates or green house credits or emission trading scheme benefits to be attributed to the power station operator using the LEA technology.
Coal gas and oil fired power stations will not need to be de-commissioned as planned and instead will become popular and a good target for investors.
The new Green power could be sold at a premium reflecting its benefit to the community and raising income to the power station or utility.
Can the LEA technology amplify electricity from Wind, Solar or any other generation method and are there any significant secondary benefits to users of the LEA technology.
When generating wind or solar power the power station usually has to carry the cost of distributing the power by building more high tension lines to carry it; sometimes for many hundreds of miles. This is not necessary with the LEA technology because the amplifiers can be installed anywhere along the exsisting grid where there is a substation.
The lines from the sub station to the end user may not need upgrading and even if they do the cost will be a fraction of upgrading all the way from the power station to the sub station.
So wind and solar energy can be amplified at more than favourable comparitive capital cost to the operator and the distribution costs of the increased electricity will be negligible compared to building more solar arrays or wind turbines.
Here is a letter of feedback sent to one of the principals of Lutec.
Finally, someone has realized that back EMF is something more than a nuisance, or a handy spike to jump gaps or make sparks.
As a “retired” spacecraft systems engineer ( {company name (very large, well known) removed}, 2 US Patents) I have no problem understanding what you have done, and why it will become the basis for the next generation of rotational electric machines, an beyond
I was forced into a “premature” retirement, far sooner that planned, and so I have not achieved what I had intended, but my interest in forward thinking hasn’t waned a bit. If I my finances were as planned, I would immediately purchase as many shares as possible as soon as possible
I am very thankful that someone has finally been able to combined these well known fundamentals in such a novel manner, achieving one of magnetism’s true intended purposes, (there are still others yet to be uncovered). The controller itself is the true “invention” and I applaud your focus and dedication in getting it to work as intended.
Again, congratulations and thank you, from me, my children and their children.
