A: Two years ago, in Ventura. He had a 500 gallon tank of water, and the idea was to see how much... He was running a compressor with a wattmeter on the wall, and we could measure the amount of electricity it took to raise the temperature seventy degrees in the tank of water, so we could calculate the BTU's it took to raise the temperature of the water, and we could calculate the watts out of the power lines, and when we did the calculation; we had gotten out of the plates on the roof an equivalent of eight times what we got out of the power plug. Q: How was the system set up? A: There was a compressor; seven plates on the roof, (three or four feet wide by seven feet long); this compressor pushed refrigerant through the plates on the roof, and when it would come down and the compressor compressed it, heat would come out, and it was a very short run from there into the tank of water, a big insulated thing, 500 gallons. It (pipes) went into the tank of water and dumped the heat into it. Q: How long did it take to heat this tank up? A: Forty Minutes, not long, it was fast. Each of us, about seven of us, got to go up the ladder and check the temperature. It was about room temperature to start. Page 1 Then afterwards there was another set of plates down below going into a frame box with one inch of full thick insulation and a half-inch of plywood. We shoved the plates in there and closed the doors and turned the thing on and got the tempurature down to minus ten. And we got hot water from inside that box, which was at minus ten. Of course there was heat leaking in from outside in the room, which was at 65 degrees. But we went out for a lecture and came back in an hour or so and we had made forty gallons of hot water. And then he did something else, he took that minus ten refrigerated space and heated up the room with it to show us this thing was net-gaining and it wasn't just sucking air out of the room. He took the heat from this refrigerator (insulated space) and he hooked it up to this blower and heated the room up till it was about 75 degrees. That heat was actually being generated from that refrigerator. Of course heat was leaking into the refrigerator but nevertheless this whole warehouse got warm. The refrigerator got down to close to minus twenty. I think the freon was good for just down to that point, its boiling point was minus twenty. I was impressed, I think it was free energy, myself. Q: Free meaning, "Well, there's the heat in the refrigerator, let's use it out here.", right? A: Yes, well, we transferred it, yes. Q: How big was the refrigerator? A: Oh, gee, about ten feet by twelve feet by eight feet. It was big. Q: A walk in. A: Yes. He was demonstrating that you could make air conditioning in your house. You have a little room, you make it cold, maybe it's your refrigerator, you pump that through the rest of your house, you've got air-conditioning. You want to make your refrigerator cold, your swimming pool hot, you could do that. If you wanted to have a sauna, you could pump heat from there to a sauna. It's neat. (just move the heat around) Then later, what he was trying to do was to perfect a way to make electricity out of that coefficient of performance of eight, if he could convert that to electricity, he could make enough to run the whole system. Q: You mean, the power would be coming from out-door heat? A: Right. Q: And you could run the system. So you would just need a more efficient freon-driven generator. A: Well, he claims there was a way of making it much more efficient; using special lubricants; if he could make the compressor the right way, he could make it so it runs at air temperature. Right now it's restricted to keep the compressor from melting down. Because if you were not to restrict the input of the Page 2 freon into the plates, the compressor would get too hot; so the compressor has a heat sensor on it, and when it gets too hot it just shuts down those valves, to cool the system down. I think it could take 207 degrees or something. Q: Was there some talk of a ceramic compressor? A: Yes. That was another company. Q: When was the last time you saw Dennis? A: That was the last time. Two years ago. Q: What do you call it? A: Phase Change. Dennis Lee's Phase Change. A heat pump. Q: There must be something different about it; how is it different from a regular heat pump? A: It's a flat-plate heat pump, it takes you further. Q: What do they normally use? A: They're around a box, there's a fan in the center. They tend to ice up, these (Lee's) don't because the plates are all spread out. But really, that's all it is. Q: So just more efficient? A: Heat pumps are efficient too, but this is more efficient because it's spread out, it gets more heat. End of interview. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Interviewer's Note: This is not, of course perpetual motion. Not any more, that is, than the spinning of the earth or the burning of the sun is perpetual motion. Or perhaps not any more than a gold-miner is getting free gold by digging it out of the ground. Of course some energy has to be expended to dig it out. Of course a woodcutter has to work hard to get some firewood to heat his house. But somehow in the scheme of things, the digging for gold or the cutting of wood pays for itself. The goldminer cashes his gold at the bank or wherever, buys some new clothes, buys food and whiskey, takes a woman, later takes some rest, and, so energized, takes the money left over to mine more gold! Free energy! It goes the same with a woodcutter. Of course a heat pump would have to expend some energy to pump the heat inside, especially when the temperature is colder outside than in! The point is that there is all this heat floating around in the environment just going to waste! Why not use it, and efficiently? Why get it from a gas pipe when you can get it from the outside Page 3 air? Why use electricity when the potential is there to take energy from right outside the window? At least if you are going to use electricity to heat your refrigerator, you could take that heat and heat your water-heater! You get the idea! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard Note... We first came across the activities of Dennis Lee at a Global Sciences Conference in Denver Colorado. At that time, Dennis had just been released from prison for fraudulent dealings with his heat pump device. Although we did not speak with him privately, we did attend an impromptu presentation at which he mentioned his past and made claims regarding his system. The device was promoted ONLY as a means of heating water yet hints were made that it had other uses. It was also claimed that there were thousands of units in operation. One of the men attending the presentation stood up and accused Dennis of ripping him off for about $3000. He also said many others had also been ripped off and warned the audience to not be taken in. This developed into a heated argument between Dennis and the man which we all thought might break out into a fight. We later spoke with this man and he said Dennis had made claims and took his money, but he never saw the device that he had "bought". We now understand that Dennis is sponsoring an '800' number offering videotapes of the device for $50. The idea is that you send a check or money order that will not be redeemed as long as you return the video. We have not pursued this offer. In support of the concept, we understand that it does indeed work quite well despite the shady dealings of its promoters. The heat pump is extremely efficient in the above mentioned configuration as told to us by another local resarcher who is working on a thermodynamic turbine. This local researcher informs us that in the state of Texas, co-generation techniques that provide power to be sold back into the grid need ONLY be purchased if generated by CERTAIN SPECIFIC TECHNIQUES. Acceptable co-generation techniques include Solar, Geothermal, Wind, Nuclear or standard armature-type electrical generators. Our inventor friend tells us that heat pumps as co-generators are specifically EXCLUDED from the list that power companies are required to buy back. We found that quite interesting...this particular inventor feels that he was targeted as his turbine device could be used to generate electrical power and so the law was made to prevent consumers from making money FROM the power company. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
