Infinite energy? I got some beachfront property in the middle of Siberia to sell ya...
If your friend really did invent some sort of affordable, reliable home-scale power generation device, he didn't negotiate a very good contract with whoever he's working for. If something like that actually existed, whoever sold it would make untold millions.
