I got this today from a relative who lives in Florida:
…our son-in-law, had an underground electrical service line burn up about two months ago. The electric company came with a two wheel hand truck mounted metal box (heavy, had a hoist on it to get it back in the truck) to replace his electric service. They cut the service line into his meter, removed it, plugged in, and then plugged back in the meter. It ran his house for over a month, including air conditioner, water heater, stove, etc. I crawled all over the device, and there was not a line coming to it. It worked just like a battery, and was silent. I could not find a manufactures nameplate, a property number, any thing but a number stamped into the box with the word "Deland" (name of the town that the service company is located in).
What a hell of a backup generator, and with the wheels on it, we could just lift the hood, roll it into the front of our vehicle, and replace the "gas burner". I'm not making much progress in locating the manufacturer of this device (has to be a fuel cell). Progress Energy, headquartered in the Carolinas, is the electric company. If you see anything, let me know, this thing was awesome.
I thought one of you might know more about what he is talking about. Sounds interesting!
