The inventors of this device are Australians: mechanical engineer John Christie and electrical engineer Lou Brits. The device, which began development during the Malwell train project, was first shown in 2001.
Immediately after the first data on the Lutec 1000 appeared, the device was immediately criticized, as, according to calculations, it was capable of delivering ten times more power than it consumed. “When we showed the device, there was a huge problem: people said that we would never get a patent for it,” said John Christie.

The results of the device were verified by independent engineers from SGS Australia in 2002, who confirmed that the power output from the generator was indeed greater than its input. A number of patents were obtained for the device (the first in the USA No. 6.620806, October 7, 2003). During development, six generations of the Lutec 1000 were created.

To advertise and promote their invention, Britts and Christie created a website on the Internet and registered the company "LUTEC AUSTRALIA PTY LTD". Calls to invest in the project were posted on the website. In total, the company was going to raise half a million dollars to start production. The inventors intended to produce their device at home in Australia.
Apparently, this is the first project of a free energy device that has tried to be commercialized according to the scheme of modern "startups".
But after 2012, the site closed, and new data on this device does not appear. Some proponents of free energy believe that the Australians are corny "bought" along with the invention, while skeptics are sure that "they simply did not have enough electricity to support the site."
