Validation of “Heatwave” Heating Unit

DynaCurrent

DynaCurrent’s founder, Ray King, has developed a proprietary technology that dramatically increases the conversion of electrical power to heat energy by improving efficiency. A prototype of this novel heating chamber called “Heatwave” was created. The dimensions of the prototype are 8.5” x 8.5” x 4” and has the ability to heat rooms up to 4,000 sq. ft. The small footprint of this device is ideal for remote locations. This device also has the potential to replace traditional furnaces due to its size and efficiency. DynaCurrent has approached GBC to get 3rd party validation of their device as it is currently tested to run above unity (produce more work or energy than it consumes). DynaCurrent is looking to engage investigators Steven Racey, Leo Salemi, and Bogdan Strafalogea to monitor and log system performance of their device.
