I was watching something about wood gas generators and this shit showed up.

Classic combination of 50-minute video + no succinct description of what he is claiming to do + "no one is interested in disproving my claims".

Plus the "amplify power by 5000%!!!" (worse clickbait than batterizer), and the comments that are all like "it's not free energy, it's back EMF harvesting!" which is free energy BS meaning they have no idea about thermodynamics. 5000% implies he thinks he's making tremendous amounts of free energy, not making a motor more efficient (the max thermodynamic efficiency being 100% which can only be achieved by heaters).

EDIT: It looks like Google is mixing in free energy BS with the suggestions on real alternative energy videos which is absolutely disgusting, infuriating, and looks bad for alternative energy (giving bad impressions for newbies).

Hello Australians, my name is Fuzzaki Jiz and I make over $500 an hour working from home. I full time college student and gender reassigned single father from Geelong. For my joy I signed up to the role of Cisco Meraki Cloud Administrator and next day received a check for $21,455,704.01. This online work is oh so very simple and only takes up a few minutes of my spare time. I never ever have to think what I am doing. I can even do it with my eyes closed. All I need is a laptop and free Starbucks wifi. Find out why earnings are exponential and endless [hyperlink removed by Australian Signals Directorate]

Nice one. It's hard to tell why the "gender reassigned" info adds anything here. Is is meant to make the scam look more innocuous?

That raised a question though. Out of curiosity, is a "gender reassigned single father" the actual mother of the child? Or what? I'm confused.

I think we need to write a full on constraint network in LISP to resolve that problem!

At the moment mister Jiz is intersecting his complements. Which is something they frequently do in Geelong, apparently.

If you really want snake oil, Kickstarter is the OPEC of the snake oil industry. Like this gem, the world's first bacteria killing robot. Seriously, before this droid existed could we have ever gone to a budget motel without being eaten alive by billions of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae or Enterococcus faecium baccilus?

Sounds like a real money earner, but I'm not sure I could handle the re-assignment surgery.

Seeing as there is no Starbucks in Geelong listed on the starbucks website, how much fuel money is he spending to drive to a Starbucks for their free wifi?

I set the clock to 2099 and the page kept up with the clock so that is fake.

See picture:
– Advertorial –
"We are getting an unprecedented number of new users. 25/12/2099"

Or is it that the whole thing is an Advertorial and not just the banner box it is in.

Electronic snake oil.....

McBryce · « **Reply #1187 on:** January 21, 2020, 02:42:43 pm »

Wow, a $15K Tesla Coil surrounded by tubes of inert gases or even Mercury*. Unfortunately, I'm on a budget, but I can get a picture of the device (banner) for just $150: https://biocharger.com/shop/product-category/biocharger/

*I wonder why they sell refills, what happened to the mercury in the tubes it came with?

She gives you a big hint up front as to her qualifications. "I'm a former fitness director for the US Navy" aka Director Of Physical Education = D.O.P.E.

(The guy who ran all the sports facilities at my university agreed to 'Director Of Physical Education' as his job title without realising what generations of students would make of this. If you wanted a medicine ball aimed at you there was one sure-fire way to make it happen...)

NOpe, tubes of noble gases.

Coincidentally the same gases used for 'neon' signage.

So, basically, a bunch of tubes of gas energised by a tesla coil, if they're selling refils it sounds like they've poor job of sealing them, either by design or accident.

You'd probably get just as much benefit, save a bunch of money and be happier if you sat in any number of local bars, Chinese takeaways or strip clubs with neon signs.

Doh, that's the word! I sat there for 5 minutes trying to remember the word "Noble" and then gave up and went for inert.

More likely they buy them in sealed, and the reason you need to replace them is because the bio-wozname that boosts your bio-thingy wears out so needs topping up. You know that's happened when they no longer seem to boost your bio-thingy.

If it was me I'd offer tubes in different colors so they can experiment with different mixes of energy to find what suits them best. Each set of colored tubes would be suitably expensive.

I don't live in Los Angeles though. :-(

I think inert gases is more appropriate as you can get spectroscopy tubes like that with anything in them besides just the nobles, like nitrogen, CO2, low pressure air mix, water, or even non-inert gases like hydrogen, oxygen, halides, exc.

Also...I would love to see her experiance the health benefits of grabbing that nice pointy electrode out the top with bare feet.

The most necessary device - Гамма-7Н. For just $100 you get a piece of wire and a plastic box that will save your energoinformational field from ~~$100~~ harmful computer radiation.

Two videos on the Ionic Footbath Scam..

And a follow up in the form of a teardown of the control unit for such devices...

You might remember the famed EM-Drive a few years ago (that didn't work and the results could not be recreated by any group that tried)...

Now we can find a new one calle TET on Kickstarter... All Mumbo Jumbo but does not even try to explain where the propulsion should come from.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/em-propulsion/new-technology-for-aerospace-propulsion

The video is grandiose bullshot with bush fires. corona and stuff but NOTHING about the product.

Anyone still claiming that kickstarter is any better than indiegogo in terms of scams?

PlainName · « **Reply #1197 on:** May 01, 2020, 02:33:25 pm »

On Kickstarter you need enough co-credulous investors to reach the funding goal before losing your money. On Indiegogo you've lost it as soon as you click the perk link in most cases.

900000mAH 5V Power bank

Seriously 4.5KWh?

Seller states...
Question: Why does Power Bank have no print capacity(mAh)?
Answer: If we printing capacity, the product can not be allowed to transport by the plane, we hope you can understand this.
Question: Why didn't anyone reply to my message?
Answer: Because our customer service is in China, there is a jet lag between the customer and customer service

I've considered getting one of these in the past, to try and figure out how they come up with such a nonsense capacity rating.

So far I've managed to keep my money in my pocket, and my best guess is that's the capacity if you add up every charge cycle in its lifetime...
