DIY coil project and a household power bill

(Watch Video)

Gary, a retired school teacher, built a small weekend project inspired by a coil Nikola Tesla patented in 1894.

His neighbor couldn't believe how low Gary's power bill was.

The free presentation shows how he built it, step by step.

5 things to know before you watch

1. It started with a neighbor's power bill. Michael saw Gary's electric bill on the recycling bin. It was a small fraction of his own, on the same street.

2. The idea comes from US Patent 512,340. Tesla's "Coil for Electro-Magnets" (January 9, 1894) winds two wires side by side into a flat spiral, a bifilar coil.

3. The plans are written for beginners. Step-by-step videos, wiring diagrams and a parts list of hardware-store items. Most builders finish over a weekend.

4. One safety rule. Never connect a homemade device to your home's wiring or panel yourself. Have a licensed electrician do that part, and check your local codes first.

5. One-time $39, 60-day guarantee. Sold through ClickBank. Results vary with your usage, your build and your utility rates.
