I would like to see hydrosonic pumps developed further. They can only get more efficient. Large boiler companies like Viessmann and Vaillant need to invest in it. A domestic unit would be nice. They are quite simple and no scale build up either. Griggs does not claim that and initially didn't know if it was or not. He may have thought it was, but did not want to be regarded as a crank and be discredited before it was even off the ground. The Moldavian unit was tested by NASA and proved not to be over unity. However many in Moldavia say it is as when installed replacing resistance heating, the electric bill dropped substantially. :-) The lines losses never occurred to them.

The pump "moves" heat. There is no heat being moved here. Input is electrical energy and output is heat. Both can be measured in kW.

You, on the other hand, are a believer. Enough independent evidence suggests it works (the NZ one). Whether it is efficient enough is another matter. Only proper testing will prove that. Then maybe some serious R&D. >> Do you think the world is going end soon as well? > > No. Why would you ask such a stupid question? Because you are obviously a very pessimistic man. |
