they are gearing up to be able to volumeproduce
the product.
The purpose of inviting advance orders is to
enable the manufacturer to gauge the level of
interest in the product.
As similar claim was made around two years
ago on Perendev's web site, any interested
parties are advised to keep their hopes in check.
This is a noteworthy development, but until
actual product is being delivered, the news is
not yet groundbreaking.
Managing Director and inventor Mike Brady
states that Perendev will not accept any
payment up front. Rather, they will keep the
client advised as to the timing for delivery.
When the product is ready for fulfillment to a
particular customer, then Perendev will request
a 50% deposit. The balance for the unit is to be
paid upon proof that all shipping documents are
ready to go and fees have been paid.
Brady anticipates that the unit will cost
between 9,500 and 10,000 Euros.
Shipping costs will be paid by the client, and are
expected to be rather high due to the size and
weight of the unit, and due to the fact that the
unit will need to be packaged in such a way as to
not emit strong magnetic fields.
Consumers are advised that while this
development sounds exciting, there are chilling
bureaucratic obstacles to bear in mind at this early
stage. Most countries require national laboratory
certifications of safety and performance, such as
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) in the U.S. or
"CE" (European Union standard) in Europe, in
order for an electrical device such as this to be
used legally. Non-compliance can result in loss of
fire insurance or other penalties, forcing the
market to target at first mainly off-grid
applications.
Shipments to countries where the product is still
officially unknown could incur delays as the
necessary bureaucratic clearances will need to be
established.
Torque applications such as for automobiles or
industry may also trip over bureaucratic
stipulations, removing the romance of the
notion of simply installing the device and
having "free energy." Obstacles in the way of
obtaining proper clearances are significant and
must not be overlooked.
Extensive field tests and results will need to be
compiled before such certifications will be
granted. Furthermore, a new product such as
this is bound to have performance issues,
despite the rigorous pre-emptive engineering
to avoid the same.
How well will such a unit be able to provide a
stable power input for commercial application
Modern electrical appliances are designed to
operate within a certain window of electrical
input, including the right frequency as well
maintenance of the proper energy level. What
happens to the magnets if they get too hot in
an enclosed shed or vehicle under intense
summer sun What happens to the rotating
magnets if the unit is jarred in a collision
Possible health implications of such strong
magnetic forces may lead to calls for healthand-safety
studies, which are very expensive
and long-lasting affairs. Whether these studies
would result in a finding of safety, and
consequently in issuance of permits to install
such devices in or near human habitation
remains unknown.
Even if Perendev had units ready to ship today,
this field is early in a pioneering stage. It will be
years before such a technology becomes
commonplace even under the best of
circumstances.
These issues, and more unforeseen issues that
will arise, will need to be ironed out. It may take
years of stable performance history in pioneer
settings to gain the level of consumer
confidence required for such a device to become
as ubiquitous as the computer.
Meanwhile, for those of an adventurous spirit,
who understand the risks and restrictions at this
early stage, Perendev is taking orders.
While they do not yet have a unit for public
display, Brady anticipates that they will have
one soon. "Possibly Dec. 17," he said. He hoped
