Editorial Policy

Last Updated: August 26, 2026

1. Our Editorial Mission

The Energy Revolution System exists to provide practical, evidence-aware information about products and ideas related to alternative energy, DIY electricity, energy savings, and energy independence.

Our content may include:

  • Product research
  • Product explanations
  • Claim analysis
  • Technical explanations
  • Cost analysis
  • Safety considerations
  • Comparisons
  • Buying guides
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Historical research
  • Independent commentary

We aim to clearly distinguish what is established, what is claimed, and what remains uncertain.

2. We Do Not Simply Repeat Marketing Claims

A product’s sales page is a source of information, but it is not automatically independent evidence.

When a seller claims that a product can produce a particular result, we attempt to identify:

  1. Who made the claim.
  2. What exactly is being claimed.
  3. What evidence is provided.
  4. Whether the evidence is independently verifiable.
  5. Whether the result can reasonably be generalized.
  6. What limitations or assumptions apply.

For example, a statement such as “up to 88% electricity savings” is treated as a promotional claim unless sufficient independent evidence exists to establish that result.

We do not convert a marketing claim into an established fact simply because multiple websites repeat it.

3. How We Classify Information

Where appropriate, our articles use different evidence categories.

Verified

Information supported by a primary, authoritative, or otherwise reliable source.

Supported

Information consistent with credible sources but not necessarily independently established for the specific product.

Vendor Claim

A statement made by the seller, manufacturer, affiliate, promotional material, or another party with a commercial interest.

Needs Testing

A claim that requires direct measurement, physical testing, controlled experimentation, or reproducible evidence.

Unknown

There is insufficient reliable evidence for us to responsibly reach a conclusion.

This classification is particularly important for technical products where a historical invention or scientific principle does not automatically prove the performance of a modern commercial product.

4. Primary Sources

Whenever reasonably available, we prefer primary sources.

Depending on the subject, these may include:

  • Government publications
  • Patent records
  • Manufacturer documentation
  • Product documentation
  • Regulatory documents
  • Technical specifications
  • Original research
  • Official company information
  • Original transaction or offer information

Secondary sources may also be used when they provide useful context, but we try not to treat secondary commentary as equivalent to primary evidence.

5. Technical Claims

Technical claims receive additional scrutiny.

For products involving electricity, energy generation, electrical circuits, batteries, power electronics, or similar systems, we consider questions such as:

  • What is the stated energy input?
  • What is the claimed output?
  • Under what conditions is the output measured?
  • What is the continuous power capacity?
  • What is the startup or surge capacity?
  • How is energy measured?
  • Are losses accounted for?
  • Can the claimed result be independently reproduced?
  • Are the components adequately specified?
  • Are safety requirements explained?

A diagram, voltage reading, testimonial, or demonstration is not automatically proof of net energy production or a particular level of household savings.

6. Tesla and Historical Claims

When an article discusses historical figures, inventions, patents, or scientific concepts, we attempt to distinguish the historical record from modern interpretations.

For example, the existence of a genuine Tesla patent may establish that Tesla developed or patented a particular electrical concept.

It does not, by itself, establish that a modern commercial product using a related concept will achieve a particular performance level.

Historical authenticity and modern product performance are separate questions.

7. Product Reviews

Our product-related content may examine:

  • What the product is
  • What the buyer receives
  • Pricing
  • Product claims
  • Potential benefits
  • Limitations
  • Additional costs
  • Safety considerations
  • Alternatives
  • Refund terms
  • Evidence supporting the product’s claims

We attempt to avoid presenting assumptions as facts.

If we have not personally purchased, built, tested, or independently verified a product, we will not describe another person’s experience as our own hands-on test.

8. Hands-On Testing

A hands-on test is different from a desk-based product investigation.

We will identify when testing has actually been performed by us.

If a page states that we have not independently purchased, built, tested, calibrated, or load-tested a product, readers should understand that the article is an evidence-based investigation rather than a hands-on laboratory test.

We do not fabricate testing results, measurements, photographs, experiments, or personal experiences.

9. Product Pricing

Prices can change.

When we publish a product price, we may identify it as:

  • Current price
  • Promotional price
  • Previously observed price
  • Approximate price
  • Advertised price

Where pricing changes frequently, readers should verify the current price at the seller’s checkout.

The final price displayed by the seller takes precedence over an older price published on our website.

10. Affiliate Relationships

Some pages on The Energy Revolution System contain affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link and make an eligible purchase, we may receive a commission.

Affiliate compensation does not automatically mean that we consider a product effective, suitable, or appropriate for every reader.

We may publish negative findings, limitations, or reasons not to purchase a product even when the page contains affiliate links.

Our full affiliate relationship is explained on our:

Affiliate Disclosure

11. Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships, advertising relationships, or other commercial relationships should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a positive editorial conclusion.

We do not believe that receiving compensation makes a product claim true.

Our editorial assessment may therefore differ from the seller’s marketing position.

Where evidence is insufficient, we may explicitly state that the evidence is insufficient.

That is preferable to pretending certainty where none exists.

12. Corrections

We aim to keep published information accurate, but errors can occur.

If we discover a factual error, outdated information, broken source, incorrect price, or misleading statement, we may:

  • Correct the information.
  • Update the relevant section.
  • Add clarification.
  • Replace an outdated source.
  • Remove unsupported information.
  • Update the publication or review date where appropriate.

If a significant correction changes the substance of an article, we may make the correction visible to readers.

13. Content Updates

Product information changes over time.

We may periodically review and update articles when:

  • Product pricing changes
  • Product claims change
  • The seller changes its offer
  • New evidence becomes available
  • New technical information becomes available
  • A referenced source changes
  • A product is discontinued
  • A relevant safety issue emerges
  • We identify an error

The Last Updated date indicates when we most recently reviewed or substantially updated the page.

15. User Testimonials and Third-Party Experiences

We distinguish between independently verified evidence and individual experiences.

A testimonial may demonstrate that an individual claims to have achieved a particular result.

It does not necessarily demonstrate that:

  • The result is typical.
  • The result can be reproduced.
  • The product caused the result.
  • Other buyers will achieve the same result.

We therefore avoid presenting testimonials as scientific or technical proof.

16. AI-Assisted Content

We may use software tools, including artificial intelligence tools, as part of our research, drafting, editing, organization, or content-production workflow.

AI-generated material is not treated as automatically authoritative.

Important factual claims should be reviewed against appropriate sources before publication.

AI tools do not replace editorial judgment, source evaluation, or verification.

We are responsible for the editorial content we publish.

17. Safety Content

Some articles discuss electrical construction, DIY projects, energy systems, batteries, power electronics, or other potentially hazardous subjects.

Such information is provided for educational and informational purposes.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a substitute for:

  • Professional engineering advice
  • Qualified electrical work
  • Applicable electrical codes
  • Manufacturer instructions
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Professional safety assessment

Readers should use appropriate caution when working with electricity or other potentially hazardous equipment.

18. What We Do Not Promise

We do not promise that:

  • Every product reviewed will work for every person.
  • Vendor claims are accurate.
  • A particular financial result will occur.
  • A particular energy-saving percentage will occur.
  • A DIY project will be completed successfully.
  • A product will be safe under every possible installation.
  • A product will replace solar, a generator, or grid electricity.
  • Information on an older article will remain current indefinitely.

Readers should evaluate products according to their own circumstances and verify important information before making a purchase or undertaking a technical project.

19. Conflicts of Interest

We disclose material commercial relationships when they are relevant to the content.

Potential conflicts may include:

  • Affiliate commissions
  • Sponsored relationships
  • Commercial partnerships
  • Referral arrangements

We believe readers should know when the publisher may financially benefit from an action recommended or discussed on the website.

20. Reader Feedback

Readers can contact us if they believe an article contains:

  • A factual error
  • An outdated claim
  • A broken source
  • An incorrect price
  • Misleading information
  • An unsupported statement

When submitting feedback, please provide the page URL and explain the specific issue.

We may investigate credible corrections and update content where appropriate.

21. Our Editorial Standard

Our standard is straightforward:

Do not confuse a claim with evidence.

A product can be real without every claim about the product being proven.

A historical patent can be genuine without proving a modern commercial application.

A customer testimonial can be genuine without establishing typical results.

A product can be inexpensive without being risk-free.

And a product can be interesting without being suitable for everyone.

Our job is to keep those distinctions visible.
