Of course it is true, go to here for more info:

Now I understand why splitting oak with an 8 lb splitter is such hard work.

Thank you so much.

Very well. Consumer's energy will by your excess power. How do you think
all of us RVers got retired so young?

Couldn't you just sell the energy back to the power company?

Try it and see. AND make sure you have a spare battery fully charged.

It doesn't.

Perpetual motion.

In short - bull feathers as my maternal Grandfather used to say in
polite company.

In the old days they did it all the time, course you had to have a
steady breeze turning the windmill.

It recharges the batteries much faster than the inverter uses the power up.
If you leave it running, you can even run an electric trolling motor from
the surplus power and eliminate the diesel or gas engine that gives so much
trouble.

This works even better if you have a small thermonuclear charger like:

Pay no attention to what it says about radiation. Russians have been
running their navaids off them for years!

Yes you will find the plans for that in your local public library in the
perpetual motion machine section.
