Wow, that ZPE ad just reeks of old-time Usenet crankery. I wonder what they're actually selling plans for, because they do an absolutely lousy job of giving any hint at all on how it actually works. They can quack on all they want about magnets, but since "regular" generators also use magnets that doesn't say anything.

What's the power source? What turns the armature in the generator? What's the exhaust, or waste products? You must say... the power of thermodynamics compels you!

I kind of assumed that it was a spoof, until I got to the bit where they are trying to sell things. This is just one good argument that scientific literacy is essential.

Awesome video ... but ... surely it doesn't take NINE minutes to tell people what a diff lock does. *blinkblink*

Intriguing generator and, of course, a scam:

Interesting reading though.
