| Free Energy Scams and Fakes |

The Drinking Bird toy is a simple heat engine though isnt it? So it's not free energy but uses thermal energy from its surroundings. |
| FrankBuss:
Right, but there is no "free energy" anyway. Maybe would be better to call it "unusual energy" devices. |

--- Quote ---I'm a bit embarassed to admit this but my great grandfather build a perpetual motion machine in the 1920's or so. It did run for 3 days... --- End quote --- There's nothing embarrassing about trying. There's nothing embarrassing about failing. There IS something embarrassing about scamming well meaning people, screaming loudly that THE MACHINE WILL WORK, ALL I NEED IS A PINT OF UNOBTAINIUM AND AN EXTRA 4 MIL USD, being a smug ass, feeling "sorry" for skeptics, whilst furiously defending a device based on a 4x4 pixel youtube video evidence. I'm a member of another few forums, on one of which there's a few guys, whom are obsessed by every mention of free energy, will defend against whomever dares doubt it with much vigor. Occasionally a schematic/plan is posted somewhere, and, curiously, they won't build it, they'll just defend it. One of the amusing tales of free energy took place just recently: A guy claimed a fantastic breakthrough, a simple mechanical machine, that made extra energy from nothing! His evidence and reasoning? A simulation in Algodoo. To sway the silly skeptics, he claimed that "since it works in simulation, and simulations are based on math, and math can't be wrong, or simulations used by all sorts of industries would be wrong, his device MUST work in reality". He also challenged anyone to prove him wrong through math. Apparently not the standard laws of physics math, which apparently did not work, but something else... He was so full of himself, it was almost cute. NOTE: Video in slovak: |
| FrankBuss:
I don't understand what he says, lots of mathematics that's for sure, but LOL, did he use PHUN as a prove for his device? Yeah, there can't be program bugs, and it is a very accurate and professional physics simulation :-DD |

http://everist.org/archives/links/__Education.txt http://everist.org/archives/links/__Dumbing_down.txt Not much in that one, it's a peripheral topics on which I see lots of related articles, but couldn't be bothered saving most of them. Also a lot of these fall under different categories, such as Autism, Fluoridation, Vaccination, etc. Those lists are in the same folder. |
