I do now Fred. 
I was also wondering what to do in my spare time for the past 5 days or why I kept that old reference manual on AC machines and power electronics. 
It opened up the discusion point on several important items. I had prior to your post emailed the ABC after reading the news release, questioning the ABC over the accuracy and reliability of the content.
It had roused some vague recollections of electrical engineering science from last century before hitting me over the head with a claim of savings nearly equal to my annual electricity bill! Only 26 more days left for their response.
Is it a scam?
Selling tap water as natural spring water may be?
Selling natural spring water as having curative healing properties may be?
Presenting a poorly researched and written report is not a scam.
Relying on information from one individual with a vested interest in a new product to be reliable, presenting it without challenge or declaring there might be a conflict or bias is poor quality journalism. How the report presents puts arguably an undue emphasis on a view that favours the product not mentioned directly in the report. It also entices others to enquire. As some of us have done.
Collectively there is now a range of views from the Choice community on the Edge IQ as a product. Some of us more open eyed without perhaps any risk of technical bias.
Is the product a scam?
Only if it is marketed with claims that cannot be met once purchased and installed I’d suggest. Although some of the claimed results appear to be extraordinary. They are also presented with minimal supporting detail, product specification or qualification as to suitability of the product to meet an individual need. Nothing says it is just an idea or product still in development. You can commit to purchase as an early adopter?
Advertising only needs an asterix carefully placed, or words like ’upto’ or ‘could save you’ to open up the gap between ignorance and reality.
The science behind the product suggests that the product may provide a benefit to some residential users for a specific range of conditions.
Several of the Choice community members of team could easily swamp this topic with information that may or may not add benefit. There are Engineering Consultants that specialise in the areas of harmonic filtering, power factor correction, supply voltage optimisation and load balancing.
If the promoters of the Edge IQ were confident of the performance and benefits they could do worse than offer a couple of units up for trial and testing by Choice. For that we would be much better informed.
Anything that avoids us delving into how a rotating AC machine functions or that even as a motor it is also a generator. I’d also avoid power electronics and varying options for ‘buck booster’ design as well.
p.s. I’ll look at your free energy generator design once I sort out the instability’s in our Tardis.
