Install help for kit owners
Independent labor and commissioning by inquiry — for people who already own (or will buy themselves) a compatible Bendall / Thunderstorm Generator–style kit. This is not a Strike store, not an authorized dealer page, and not online checkout.
Offer in formation — inquiry welcome; terms finalized in a written estimate after review.
What this is / isn’t
This is
- An education site with optional paid installation / commissioning labor when both sides agree in writing.
- Work for customers who already own a kit, or who purchase a kit themselves from a third-party seller.
- Inquiry-only: discussion → written scope and price → schedule if we both say yes.
- Limited United States service area, by arrangement — ask; do not assume a specific city is covered.
This isn’t
- Strike Foundation, Strike Energy, Thunderstorm.tech, or an authorized dealer / licensee / partner.
- A page that sells kits, books installs online, or promises street-legal / CARB / EPA certification.
- A guarantee that Embry-Riddle-style study numbers or inventor marketing claims will show up on your vehicle.
- Medical, investment, or “free energy” promises.
Who it’s for
- People who already have a compatible kit, or will buy one themselves from a third-party seller (for kit demos / purchase context, see thunderstorm.tech — third-party; not us).
- People who want hands-on install or commissioning help rather than figuring every hose and wire alone.
- People who understand measured study context versus inventor claims and do not expect a website to promise their personal result.
What’s typically included
Subject to the written estimate for your job — not a fixed menu.
- Mechanical and electrical fitment within the skill and tools available for that job (details in the written estimate).
- Basic commissioning: power-up checks, leak/connection review, and a calm walkthrough of what was done.
- Documentation of the work performed for your records.
- Optional before/after notes only if you provide a baseline (for example fuel logs) or agree a simple check protocol in writing — not a fabricated dyno promise.
What’s not included
- Selling kits or acting as a kit storefront on this page.
- Manufacturer warranty administration (any kit warranty is between you and the seller/maker).
- Guaranteeing inventor marketing figures (including ≥90% fuel claims) or that any study result will repeat on your vehicle.
- Defeating required emissions equipment or doing illegal modifications.
- Unlimited remote support or open-ended troubleshooting outside the agreed scope.
Honest numbers reminder
Independent Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University M.S. thesis (2026) meter context on this site is about +9–10% fuel efficiency and about −34% average emissions. That is study context, not a promise for your install. Inventor / marketing figures (often framed as ≥90% fuel cuts or near-zero emissions) stay labeled claims and are not guaranteed.

Process
1
Email inquiry
Tell me what kit you have (or plan to buy yourself), the vehicle or equipment, and where you are in the US.
2
Fit and safety discussion
We talk through compatibility, local rules you must check, and whether the job is something I can responsibly take on.
3
Written scope and price
If it looks workable, you get a written estimate: scope, price, and any labor warranty terms for that job. Site copy is not a contract.
4
Schedule if both agree
No online checkout and no automatic booking. Work is scheduled only after you accept the written estimate.
5
Install / commission
Hands-on fitment and basic commissioning within the agreed scope.
6
Handoff notes
You leave with notes on what was done. Ongoing kit issues go to the seller/maker unless the written estimate says otherwise.
Important limits
Your checks. You are responsible for verifying local laws, vehicle warranties, insurance, and emissions rules before any work proceeds. This page does not claim installs are street-legal or emissions-exempt in any jurisdiction.
Safety. Engine and fuel-system work can be dangerous. It is not a casual DIY project. I may decline requests that look unsafe, illegal, or outside what I can do carefully.
Warranties. Kit manufacturer warranties (if any) are between you and the seller/maker. Any install-labor warranty is narrow and specified only in the written estimate — not invented multi-year coverage on this page.
Liability posture (plain English). Website copy does not create a contract by itself. Paid work, if any, is governed by the written agreement for that job. That agreement will limit workmanship responsibility as stated there and will not promise consequential damages (for example lost wages, rental cars, or “you didn’t get 90%”). Exact terms are set in the estimate — not here.
Licenses. This page does not claim a specific contractor license, shop license, or manufacturer authorization. Credentials and insurance for a given job, if relevant, will be discussed before you pay — not invented in marketing copy.
Not legal advice
This page is general information for education and inquiry framing. It is not legal advice. Derek Watson is not providing legal counsel here. Have a qualified attorney review before relying on this framing for real paid jobs, contracts, licensing, or emissions questions.
