Quality Criterion
When posting new entries, please address how the technology or the claim fits the following criterion.
- free energy (non-depleting energy source)
- cost of materials (with mass production in mind)
- ubiquitousness of components
- efficiency of power generation
- safety of the device (does it emit EMF, radiation, could it explode?)
- 'uniqueness of design
- appearance / size (practicality)
- scalability
Stage of development

- Several Full-scale Prototypes Working
- Beta Testing
- Engineering for Production
- Product in the Marketplace Product
- Several Marketplace Variants
- Ubiquitous in the Market

Link Sequence
The industry standard is to list in order of importance. Statistics show that the higher the link, the higher the click-through ratio. You want to feature first those links that you recommend most highly. A variation is to list alphabetically, which then requires the user to have to plow through every link and hope they stumble onto the best one before running out of time. A compromise is to list the top (e.g.) five and the remainder alphabetically.
Volunteer Topic Editors
Anyone may edit just about any page at PESWiki. In addition, we would like to recommend that there be a volunteer editor who lists themselves as a contact to consult regarding a given page. Two or more editors would be even better.
