If this guy can get output higher than input, I'd imagine he's sitting on a beach in the Bahama's right now - that HE OWNS. :lol:

What they call that Smitty is an eternal energy source which of course goes against the laws of physics.

Reminds me of the ceramic electric heaters you see on infomercials in the middle of the night. They claim they heat more with less power. A friend of mine fell into it and tried to heat his house with two of them. Then the $450 electric bills started rolling in..

This guy should be selling perpetual motion machines, gravity wheels and generators that produce more power than they consume :lol: .... He must think we're a buncha dummies 8-) I mean REALLY????

WATT for WATT they are identical BTU output compared to any electric heater whether it's an oil filled oil heater, hair dryer or even an incandescent lightbulb. You can save money, if you have electric heat and turn the house thermostat down to 50 and just heat a single room with it you'll save. If you have coal or natural gas the savings are unlikely becsue you can heat heat 3 or 4 rooms for the same cost as keeping the one room warm.

Oh right on.. Its just how they portray their product, putting it on pedestal, implying that it will do a better job than the $15 electric space heater at Walmart . :lol:
