The swinging hammers thing taking off vertically (in simulation) for instance. But the best bit by far is the torus with fans inside. What a terrible shame there's no video of turning it on and watching it do nothing at all. The best results from reading weird science and over-unity forums, is when you come across something really bizarre like the report below. Unrelated to perpetual motion machines, but just... strange. Did it really happen? Who says we know everything in classical physics yet? http://amasci.com/weird/unusual/e-wall.html "Invisible Electrostatic Wall" at 3M adhesive tape plant 3M accidentally create a force field David Swenson of 3M Corporation describes an anomaly where workers encountered a strange "invisible wall" in the area under a fast-moving sheet of electrically charged polypropelene film in a factory. This "invisible wall" was strong enough to prevent humans from passing through. A person near this "wall" was unable to turn, and so had to walk backwards to retreat from it. This occurred in late summer in South Carolina, in extremely high humidity. Polypropelene (PP) film on 50K ft. rolls 20ft wide was being slit and transferred to multiple smaller spools. http://classic-web.archive.org/web/19961226130950/www.att.com/conferences/eosesd/index.html 17th Annual Electrical Overstress / Electrostatic Discharge Symposium http://www.esdjournal.com/articles/final/final.htm http://www.esdjournal.com/articles/final/final.htm In August of 1980 in the southeast United States, problems were being experienced at a polypropylene plant. Strange things were happening around a film slitting machine. |

Around here the government tries to suppress certain techniques of free energy: Conspiracy proved! |

Due to some rather unusual circumstances, I may be in the position to "validate" a Bedini Motor generator thing-a-mijig. I've tried to convince this guy that he is wasting his time, but he is fully convinced that it will work. Evidently he has it running now, so I kindly offered to test it for him and prove that he wasted his money. He showed me the design, and all it is is an overly complicated contraption (with spinning magnets, of course) that hits a lead acid battery with short pulses of a few hundred volts. Bedini claims that you can use a single battery to charge a large number of batteries, and that the charged batteries have an increase capacity and become fully charged off the single driving battery. Uh-huh. The increased capacity thing makes sense, due to the desulphation (did I spell that right?) caused by the high voltage pulses. Amplifying the energy? Nope. My acquaintance has his reputation fully covered though, because the energy "created" by the machine uses a "different form" of potential that can't be detected using conventional equipment. How convenient. I have a feeling that, even after showing that the output power is lower than the input power, and that the charged batteries contain less energy than the original driving battery, he will still be fully convinced that he has proven every engineer in the world wrong. Still, I'm looking forward to scientifically ripping this thing apart. |

--- Quote from: lewis on January 24, 2014, 02:39:20 pm ---My workshop aircon unit uses 1.6kW of electricity to produce 5.5kW of heat. Stick a load of efficient thermocouples in series between the hot and cold bits of the heat pump and BAM! Free electricity. Easy. Kickstarter anyone? --- End quote --- I think the origin of this lies in the fact that airconds did achieve some substantial leaps in efficiency some years back,& they could get more hot or cold air out with less power in. From that the new system could be labelled as "equivalent to an older 5.5kW unit",which although it is right,is silly,as no one is selling the old types anymore. Marketing folks (who don't know anything technical about their product) thought,"All that other stuff is confusing--just call it a 5.5 kW unit" Of course,we have similar things in our midst--A TV Transmitter puts 10kW up the spout,which,the customers are told is 100kW (I know,EIRP,but they don't know what that means) RMS is another made up thing,done for convenience---newbies are amazed when they read 340v peak,& think they have done something wonderful! Then there is the much used,but technically wrong term,"RMS Power". Even worse,are the various types of Amplifier power ratings used by scam artists in the "audiophool" area. |
