The power to light the world
by Ron Kelley DeFuniak Herald Breeze
Walter Owens doesn?t look like a man who could change the world. He doesn?t resemble Ben Franklin, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein or even Bill Gates. Yet, if what Walter Owens says is true, his name might be added to that pantheon of inventors. If Walter Owens has his way, America might again bring light to the world.
Owens, a retired electrical engineer, has invented a power generator system that actually creates it?s own fuel source - static electricity. Owens says the machine can provide a complete power source for homes, businesses, planes trains and automobiles. In fact, Owens says the applications are nearly limitless, but that?s not what is important. What?s important is that others are saying it, too.
The machine (Owens? small, test-model) has been tested and examined by independent electric motor experts and the results were noted in a report signed by Higinio Rodriguez, president of Gulf Coast Electric Motor Service, Inc. in Pensacola.
According to the report, the machine requires 24 volts to start the motor and only 12 volts to start the static charge. However, it takes no amps or watts to supply the static charge.
The reports says ?How long will it run and at what loss of volts and amps? No loss - indefinitely running.?
Owen?s self-sustaining machine produced over 4,600 watts and required no coal, oil, gas or liquid fuel and produced no pollution and no waste by-products.
By nearly anyone?s standards, that qualifies as revolutionary to the point of science fiction fantasy.
Yet, Walter Owens doesn?t look like someone out of a Isaac Asimov novel or some character that Robert Heinlein dreamed into existence. Owens brought his working model to the Herald office in the back of his pick-up truck and gave a demonstration for Herald staff and WMBB-TV 13 reporter Chris Mitchell, who broadcast a report on Owens and his generator on Monday evening. That machine, he said, could supply power to three individual homes - indefinitely.
One might assume that Owens will become fabulously wealthy and, if his generator is as efficient as it appears, that will undoubtedly occur. However, that?s the other interesting twist to this unusual tale. Owens isn?t looking for mere wealth.
?I?m 84 years old and the money doesn?t make any difference to me. I was contacted by a firm in California that offered to pay me $2 million for exclusive rights,? said Owens. ?But I refused. I don?t want any one company to have the technology. They?ll just bury it.? Instead, Owens hopes to sell his invention to a large array of individual companies and manufacturers. That way, he says, his generator can find its way into the hands of ordinary citizens.
As for the $2 million he was already offered, Owens chuckled and said, ?My wife said, ?Walt, what?s wrong with you?? I said, ?Well, the good Lord told me not to take it.? And that?s just the way I feel about it.?
Owens? machine cost about $20,000 to build because of trial and error and the fact that some parts were designed and tooled specifically for this machine. However, he noted that before the system is mass produced, it will be re-worked and streamlined, which will greatly reduce the production costs of individual systems. The report by Gulf Coast Electric Motor Service noted that ?power output can be significantly increased by reduction of flywheel weight and other system improvements via a research and development program.?
Owens said he?s gone as far as he can go with this new system, now it?s up to the independent manufacturers to build and market the system so that everyone has access to this efficient, inexpensive power source.
?The ?big people? in this country has taken advantage of the little man through oil and power,? said Owens. ?My power bill last month was $210.74. To me, that?s outrageous - for a common man to have to pay that kind of money for electricity. This is built for the poor man, the common man. He?s going to get the benefit of it.?
Despite Owens? best intentions, the success of his system could eventually cost the jobs of thousands of traditional power company employees and industry suppliers.
Owens disagreed. Owens said jobs will be created as his generator system is applied to existing technology - from transportation to housing. The size of the generator will also vary, depending on its application. He says that jobs in power company field and other related industries would remain viable as his system must be installed and monitored. ?This thing here can put millions back to work and give them a decent job and it won?t tear the hearts out of the men that have to provide the end materials,? he said.
He said he?s looking for about 25 or 30 American and international companies that are interested in building and marketing the system. Since the WMBB broadcast Monday, Owens said he?s been contacted by a Canadian firm with plants in the U.S.
?Well,? he said, ?it looks like we?ve got the ball rolling now.?

I have a friend that went and met mr Owens......we talked and talked and the thing ran with out being hooked up to any battery after it was started and just kept on running. My friend was just as skeptical as some of you but he made the point of going and seeing it for himself and now is a believer. that said......it has huge amounts of R & D to go but the reality is it works!
I'm thinking of someone like Tucker and his advanced cars (you know the movie) and how the big 3 said "it can't be done" put him out of business right quick. Now has anyone watched the last issue of "frontline" and how our government has been making sure the scientist are telling the public for years that there is no global warming! so I ask this.......how much do we really know about what electricity can or can't do? Maybe just maybe Mr. Owens knows something we don't .....it is plausible!

If he is sincere in not caring about the money, he should patent it, and let everyone have open access to make their own versions. That is the only way that the US gov't would allow it to exist.
