The Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything column has a long winded, low density and credulous article on a new "generator" by Inductance Energy. Invented by their science and technology officer, Dennis Danzik.
The article is behind their paywall. This is the main claim.
The feature they say that differentiates them from previous tries at free energy is the use of must of course invoke Nikola Tesla. " “Tesla didn’t have rare-earth magnets and digital machine control,” Mr. Danzik said."
The article goes on to say they loaned one out.
The company has a supposedly working model on display in a transparent lexan case. The article contains some speculation about how the unit may be externally powered. There is no patent filing nor are outsiders allowed a close examination of the generator.
This is almost certainly a hoax. It will either quietly disappear from view or we will find out there is some power mechanism needed to keep the demonstrator it running until the last "problems" can be figured out.
I'd be interested if anyone has more information on this.
It reminds me of the WSJ article that brought Fleishman and Pons cold fusion claims into wide public view.

IEC says its first commercial model, the R32 Earth Engine, hucks two 900-kilogram flywheels at speeds between 125 and 250 rpm, generating 240V or 480V at 100 amps. On the high side, that’s 48 kilowatts, about what a small backup diesel generator puts out. But unlike a diesel generator, the company says, the R32 produces no emissions, no noise (the unit comes in a vacuum-sealed, tamper-proof housing) and uses no fuel. |

An R32 test unit installed at his facility in January ran for 422 hours, IEC says, averaging 4.4 kW output, before it was brought back to the lab for analysis. |
