free energy

The previous thread was creaking along slower than a snail on stilts, so have a shiny bright new, and hopefully faster, thread. Please don't go down the Andrew Wakefield rabbit hole in this thread, though; it's verging away from the topic. Anyways, it is nearly the end of February 2019, what...

This is a continuation of Part 2. The split was arbitrary, and you may freely quote from the old thread here. Is it acting as if it is magnetic, it seems to be incredible light whatever it is and if that was magnetic I'd expect it to be very quickly pulled onto the magnet not waving about...

This is a continuation of this thread.. As usual the split point is arbitrary an participants may freely quote from the previous iteration. Oh dear, it appears michaelsude (and very possibly Mills too) is under the impression that a concentrator solar array is something like a solar panel...

An article by Market News Business offers rotary sails to reduce oil tankers' fuel consumption. I am very weak on science and maths and ignorant about most things mechanical and electrical and I rely on specialists to tell me the truth. I remember over 25 years ago having a big discussion in my...

As I did with the now infamous Bitcoin thread back in 2011, I am here to make another prophecy that could be potentially lucrative. Bitcoin was worth $20 bucks a coin when I made my original post. Today it's worth around $900. I'm here to let you know that free energy generators will be...

I was searching for skeptical videos on YouTube and stumbled across a Hobby Electronics video series that included two videos I was interested, the first was on the 'White Van Speaker Scam'. the second was a takedown of a 'free energy' machine powered by 'quantum' (Aka a AA battery.) The maker...

This article showed up a couple of days ago as I was searching for something else. http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/04/15/breaking-news-over-unity-reactionless-generator-invented-in-india/ Here is one quote: "The universal matter is created out of prana since prana is aakaash in...

Couldn't get the search function to work....Anyone aware of this latest "cold fusion" device: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/191754-cold-fusion-reactor-verified-by-third-party-researchers-seems-to-have-1-million-times-the-energy-density-of-gasoline Apparently an initial report on the...

So. Another one of these unlimited free (edit: well... not free but cheap...ish) energy things. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/focus-fusion-empowertheworld--3 Is this woo or is this as groundbreaking as they claim? http://vimeo.com/92680177 I dont really understand much about the...

Curious about something. I just had somebody tell me that Tesla created some kind of free energy thingy, but the government grabbed all his notes after he died, so nobody knows any details. This person told me in hushed tones that if his experiments weren't so earth shattering that the...

Got to be a scam. why do people fall for this? http://www.libertariannews.org/2013/11/05/brazilian-firm-goes-to-market-with-free-energy-generator-capable-of-powering-two-average-size-houses/

This idea is a strange one. By making "funnel shaped holes" in gold foil it would be possible to create pressure differences that would enable energy to be produced with no input. Is the inventor's confidence that this device could be made to generate free energy misplaced? If not, why not? See...

A spam I got today - I had not see this version, and came up empty searching for it here. http://hendershotmachine.info/ Loud infomercial selling plans for building it yourself. Can anyone verify the clippings as being real or faked?

I saw this video called THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take? This video seems like a bunch of bunk. I do like to study reasoning and specifically logical fallacies. And near the beginning of the video, one person in the video seems to be looking for the way a torus takes form anywhere he can...

Has anyone watched this? Link. From the trailer and from reviews of it, "Thrive" is a documentary about free energy, the mysterious powers of the torus, the evils of the Federal Reserve Bank, UFOs, secret societies, conspiracies (including 9/11 according to reviews), crop circles, evil pharma...

Apologies if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it via the search tool, and there seems to be precious little objective material on the web (5 mins on google, beer in hand...) In the advertising space on facebook at the moment, is an ad for 'hojo motors" - apparently, a form of...

Was looking for something else and ended up reading an old thread on Steorn and I realised I hadn't heard anything about them for sometime. Has anyone else seen anything more recent than this: sfbuH0TF5DI#! ?

Human fotosintesis: Sunlight +Melanin + water = new kind of solar cell? A friend of mine told me that a Mexican scientist with the name "Arturo Solís Herrera" have found proof of "human fotosintesis" :rolleyes: so I started looking for something like that on Google... And I found a story...

On the surface, it might appear to be just another free energy scam but this one is different. It involves Michael Jackson! Yes, the gloved one will finally make a difference in the world, and not just to pre-pubescent boys who he slept with. This a full-fledged miracle. And all of this...

About 15 years ago I read a book by a Hungarian author about mysteries. In that book, there was a brief description about an inventor in the U.S. who invented a free energy machine. Obviously I was excited, and ever since I have read that half page, I was trying to get more information about...

Here's a free energy machine that you can build yourself: Youtube link Yes, now you can order a kit, and build the Bedini machine yourself - and charge the batteries in your electric car!! It might be interesting to get one to see how it really works.

My friend and I are both sceptics. We both consider ourselves to have a mind geared for science. We both love physics. I believe in well established laws such as the conservation of energy. My friend believes in anti-gravity, chi, and Overunity (free energy). We oddly both get our beliefs...

I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this guy, it seems he's been around a long time, and is soon to unveil a new source of energy. I've checked his website, but it's not much more than simply a title page. http://pesn.com/2009/07/23/9501556_REMGen_OU-electromagnetic_demo/ I'm particularily...

Well, this may not belong in the General Skepticism forum, so please feel free to move it. I found a link on the Huffington Post that was very disturbing, so I did a little research: http://wiki17.com/ This link will direct you to: http://www.homemadeenergy.org/?hop=followto I am very...

Okay, I just got an email on a physics list I frequent about this website... FreeEasyGreen.com These folks sell a device they claim will do the following: I responded to the list with the following: Can anyone see anything wrong with my comments? It seems that I'm the only one (so far) on...

Hopefully there isn't a thread for this- I did a search of the forums and turned up nothing on Lonnie Johnson except the mention that he invented the Super Soaker, so i wanted to share an article in the Atlanta Journal/Constitution today that had the suspicious byline: Anyone heard of this? I...

Dennis Lee is now claiming to have a device that provides a nine-fold increase in automobile mileage. The good news is that when I typed his name into Google, the first hit was a webpage debunking his claims. It's not the prettiest or the most elegant, but I am pleased to that some progress is...

Postulation: If suddenly, tomorrow for example, a brilliant scientist discovered a method for producing a completely or near completely clean, free energy source, for example, an efficient fusion reactor, or even something along the lines of a sort of "cold fusion" what would be a possible...

I was chatting to a friend and we was talking about the idea that Zero Point Energy (ZPE) was a way of creating "free" energy and bypassing the laws of physics. So I decided to check out the wikipedia article (the source of all knowledge and wisdom :p) and found some interesting information...

Last night I was at a family function of my wife's. A friend of their family was talking to me, and he's actually a nice guy that I've met a few other times. We talked about the usual stuff, eventually getting to high gas prices. He then started explaining to me how there are already people...
