To be fair to the journo, it looks like they just blindly copied what the 
company was crapping on about, though that's no excuse for someone who
makes 
a living from his use of the English language. This is from the director
of 
the company:
"I can hold a 500-horsepower hydraulic pump motor in my hand, and I'm not
a 
big guy,"

If the company doesn't even understand the technology and what it's
called, 
I doubt very much that it would work. Sounds like a con to me.
