Hi Brian

Just to add to what Alan wrote. He and I have both done a bit of research on these types of devices. As a result of enquiries to one company marketing such items we were sent a load of "bumph" purporting to be the results of tests at various "centres of learning" On making further enquiries these establishments had no official records of such tests! The company concerned declines to answer any more of my enquiries!

Anyway, can anyone tell me how a device drawing just a few milliamps manages to induce a "powerful" field into a piece of copper pipe with a few turns of insulated wire wrapped around it! Sounds like "cold fusion" to me!
