> It would be interesting to calculate the energy required The claim is that "Properly built and tuned, this heater is said to have a COP of 20, which means that twenty times as much heat is produced by the device, compared to the amount of electrical power required to make it operate. This power gain is caused by additional energy being drawn from the immediate environment" So, forget about big nucular plants. Build a small power station to supply fission electricity and use the claimed 20 x that power for steam turbines based on the Davey generator. In turn, the electricity from those turbines can power the Davey generator. Then you can throw the nucular plant away. Heck, you could start the process with a diesel genny in that case It is or was patented (although I find no reference to it at IPONZ) just like N-machines. And look how they've taken over the power-generation market ;-) So waht's the problem ? Apart from that perpetual motion scenario of course.
