"We don't feel that the experiment was a failure." " We have simply found another way that the mechanism of gravity powered electrical generation does not work." " The theory is still sound." "Thomas Edison said much the same thing about his light bulb." " In the spirit of Thomas Edison we will press on."

Where do the buckets go on that machine, and what is wrong with a water wheel,that is a gravity engine so what ever else they cannot claim that this is the first gravity engine.

It gets worse, They are at it agin, given up the black helicopters and taken to white airplanes. :-DD

I took this from the link in the link above, total nut cases.

Definition of a contrail:  A contrail occurs when a plane travels at a high altitude (about 30,000 ft. or more) and compresses the air into a water vapor or ice crystals through jet engines or the wing tips pushing through the air. This trail disappears after anywhere from a few seconds to 15 minutes, as the water vapor evaporates.

Definition of a chemtrail: The term "chemtrail" is a relatively new word, which appeared in the last few years along with the appearance of chemtrails. A chemtrail is very different from a contrail. At first a chemtrail might look a bit like a contrail. However, instead of disappearing like a contrail does, a chemtrail just keeps spreading out and forming a hazy cloud bankout and forming a hazy cloud bank These trails traverse the whole sky and stay for up to around five or even eight hours. .   .

They have been known to turn what was originally a clear blue sky into a grey haze. (Note: As of Nov 2001 there are already several dozen Chembusters in seven countries, so if you see chemtrails that don't last anywhere near this long, there may already be a Chembuster in the area). It is believed chemtrails are composed at least in part by an oil based substance of unknown content that is actually being sprayed from jets on populated areas. It has also been found that some chemtrails contain red blood cells, aluminum, mycoplasma, viruses and other unknown biological components. There are many reports of increased diseases, especially respiratory ailments, in areas where there are chemtrails.

Chemtrails are often seen to be sprayed by white planes with no markings. Sometimes you will see these planes give off no contrail at all, and immediately after the same kind of plane in the same area will start to leave a thick chemtrail. At other times, distinct short gaps in chemtrails have been photographed, as though the plane ran out of chemicals and then had to start spraying with a new supply. :-DD

Don't even bother. Such people are so much into their beliefs that they say that scientific knowledge was manipulated in order to keep people from the source/god or whatever they call it. IMO most of them qualifies for psychiatric treatment but neither them or their surroundings find it necessary.

Not sure if this was posted here, but I was wondering if this is legit or not.

http://www.hecsllc.com/research.html

It presumes that certain animals that would be hunted have eye sensory into the microwave frequency range, and that this jacket will act as a block to this EMF coming off your body.

Seems like a load of bullshit. Does anyone have any further information on this? I have a gut feeling that deer and turkeys wouldn't be able to see that far into the EMF spectrum.

goop on a chip effects how it works

long story short
some guy has a high score there some rivalry he get challenged then has some 'expert' look at the arcade board via  a picture and clims their somthing wrong with it. he then claims a fault with a board as he sees goop on chip.

Ya, it truly is. The accent alone made me queasy. I couldn't finish it. If anyone does, let me know how it ends!

I'm not sure there's anything to tear down. I get the impression they're just selling "plans".

70 watts is decent for a single panel, although he doesn't really state what this number means.

It's funny though, I don't know why I'm agonising over the maximim power point and power conversion and distribution circuitry of my own humble solar project, doing all this silly math and design and prototyping when I could just find an "underground" dude who will show me the secrets that the evil government won't let everyone know.

I've lived too long in the naive world where pretty much every advance and approach to solar power generation, storage, distribution and conversion is available through journal articles, most of which are available to any ieee library subscriber.

I had *no* idea there were scientific secrets that the public wasn't allowed to know.

So naive am I...

Heard about this on the Amp Hour : http://outbooster.com/

clearly bullshit, probably an empty  box or some components that do nothing.

I tried to order one to teardown (and x-ray) but got a refund with bullshit explanation about not shipping internationally until they "get their patent registered" and that they'd not yet updated their website to remove the international option.
 
Also tried getting someone (who has a big online presence) to order one for me & they also got a refund with a strange explanation.
Can find nothing online from anyone who has actually seen one.

So is it a real scam product or just an out & out scam?
