What a nut case...sounds like every other self proclaimed prophet, except that he's expounding on how he'll save energy instead of souls.
Look at the video of the machine running on solar cells. 120 watts is about 1/6 horsepower, plenty big enough to rotate a disk & a pump rotor. I got a really good laugh about him pumping water to some height - all he's doing is running a siphon with a pump in the loop. If he was dumping water out at a level 10 ft higher, then he'd be doing real work and might actually have something. The weight of the water in the downflow side of the tube offsets the weight of the water in the upflow side, with the result that there's exactly zero net energy required to move the water (well, almost zero. There probably is some tiny amount required to overcome friction between the water & the pipe).
Never ceases to amaze me that people actually fall for this nonsense.
