Free Energy Scams and Fakes

Terabyte2007:
Lately, I have been seeing quite a few free energy scams or claims with some really crazy ass circuits and contraptions which claim to provide free or perpetual energy. What is up with these idiots? Are people buying into this and sending these people money? Or are they delusional and really believe this is possible. If you have any good stories of crack pot ideas or ridiculous looking circuits please post them. This is getting quite humorous to me! :)

No different than the 'Nigerian' scams going on every day in the ham radio community.  W.C. Fields said that there is a sucker born every minute.  Why should electronics and free energy be any different.

Yeah, I used to go browsing YouTube for over-unity just for entertainment. Except after a while Google thought I was really into that stuff so the ads and suggestions became rather focussed. Now I stay away, afraid to trigger that part of Google again.

I never heard this attributed to W.C. Fields before.  It is usually (wrongly?) attributed to P.T. Barnum.
