Either the world has just been brought back from the brink, or it's an elaborate and expensive hoax. Discuss.
Can you say vaporware? If they did have a perpetual motion machine, let alone, a free energy machine. I guarantee you would not have heard about it... They would have just sold it to a military, or make their own power plant.
Clearly this is marketing BS. And it did make a vaporware splash on the internet.
LOL.. total idiots. "if you walk up a hill and back to the same starting spot, there is a net gain in energy".. Ok.. freakin' morans. I think the whole concept is you wear coils and walk around in huge permanent magnetic fields, so yes, you are converting your work calories into some current. And you probably could charge a small device this way.. but have fun with that.
Going around in circles in a magnetic field is a kinda/sorta crude explanation of how to generate electricity, but I don't understand why you have to stop every cycle, and you still have to expend energy to make the little logo go around in circles in the first place.
And you gotta admit, "the first roadblock is the world of science" is one of the best lines ever. The late great Douglas Adams must be writing their press copy.
Wouldn't you then just be advertising the fact that you are a d*ckhead and be left with a mailing list of scientists that hate you?
Which leaves me asking the same question as you - what would be their possible motive to lie about this (assuming they're not just confused about what they've done)?
Stories of these kind of devices have been turning up on the internets every so often for years now, and they're usually followed by a HTTP 404 or a claim that 'the yakuza stole the technology'.
Still, this does seem like a fairly audacious move. And they're not claiming to violate the principle of conservation of energy. Strictly speaking, a windmill has a coefficient of performance > 1.0, and a century ago nuclear fission would have been thought of as free energy, just because we wouldn't have been able to explain where the energy was coming from. So I'm prepared to reserve judgment until the results come in - maybe they've found a way to tap zero point energy or something exotic like that.
The best part is when he says it's a limit imposed by the laws of physics...and the challenge is to say, do these laws apply in this instance? apparently they haven't figured out whether the laws of physics apply to their little cartoon magnets yet.
I'm no scientist but I'm betting they do.
I hope they have found what they claim, and can produce it cheaply. Solar power is free energy too, except it costs too much for its inefficient collection.
If they can route off some of the investment capital they're seeking, it may be worth an elaborate ruse, should that be the case.
Sean McCarthy, still ceo of the now repurposed company, was around in 2001 at least... same person, same corporate name, but then it was management for e-commerce projects. How do you get from management of e-commerce to advanced electromagnetics?
