Unreliable power conditions cost U.S. industry in excess of $25 billion a year in lost productivity, processes and products," he added. The safe, simple and non-toxic mechanical system was a 1997 finalist in Discover Magazine's Annual Awards for Technological Innovation, was cited for its anticipated "revolutionary impact on society." As a fully integrated motor, generator generator, in electricity, machine used to change mechanical energy into electrical energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, discovered (1831) by Michael Faraday. and flywheel, the mechanical system is much more compact and robust than chemical batteries. It takes only 20% of space required by battery racks. CleanSource systems have a 20-year-life, a predictable service cost and can deliver up to 480 kW of reliable DC power.
