They thought us mad for thinking we could get power from neutrinos.
They said a neutrinos can pass through a trillion mile block of lead without hitting anything.
Little did they know we had a trillion and one mile block of lead.

Preliminary experiments have been conducted that have produced energy
from neutrinos in laboratory settings. It has now been clearly demonstrated
that harvesting energy from neutrinos is possible, and the only step remaining
is to make this technology available in a mass-produced consumer format.


What does that mean?
Do they have a working prototype?
Or do they just have a patent?

I know, rarely, that neutrinos smack into matter and release energy,
but that's not the same thing as producing energy for useful work.

Is a lie.

The rest is a fixture of distortions, half-truths, lies and pseudoscience.
 
Sounds like tripe to me.

Only 3% if the energy released by the Sun is in the form of neutrinos. We'd be talking covering something like a third of the Earth in neutrino collectors to be significant. And I'd strongly suspect I'm giving the idea too much credit just by bothering to look that up.

I've had a look and even to my scientifically uninformed mind, the site seems to have been created by swindlers or humorists. They even promise a neutrino powered car, but there isn't anything on the page devoted to this topic. It has to be a joke.
 
Fools! It's been done already!

Canadian Patent Application CA2283528

Direct uses of neutrino energy
Abstract
A layered device uses electric currents or grating surfaces to create differential neutrino forces on diamagnetic materials transmitted to electrostrictive (piezoelectric) material so as to generate output power or mechanical force. A superconducting conductor using carbon isotope C14 is described.


The means by which he discovered this breakthrough are, of course, scientifically unimpeachable:


I have trained myself to see in neutrino light. After an hour with my eyes totally dark adapted in a light free room and unable to see any visible light whatsoever. I believe that I can, with intense mental concentration, see in neutrino light. I know of no other wave form with the penetrating capability which I observe. I can see, for example, reflected sparkles from a crystal of metallic bismuth in or out of boxes, giving support to the use of bismuth in this invention as described in more detail hereinunder. I can also see colors of the bismuth, reflected neutrino light off of flat stones and other evidence of the behavior of neutrino light. I believe that while most neutrinos flow between atoms due to the great distances between atoms as compared to their global diameter, a fraction bounce around off of the atoms giving the observed effects. Of course, with the immense energy of the neutrino field, the few that bounce off still represent considerable energy.

This observed behavior of neutrino light in relation to bismuth has been utilized by this inventer in developing the inventive devices hereinbelow. In support of the validity of this ability I have demonstrated that, within the darkened room, I can distinguish between three identical boxes, carefully packed for equal weights. One box contains a bismuth crystal, one an identical weight of stone and the third with an identical weight of iron.

Many years ago (20+) a pal gave me a leaflet for an alt-med festival in Manchester. Alongside the bongo player who said that the bongo vibrations cured cancer there was an ad for a neutrino therapy which said neutrinos were TFL particles that have been used to power cars.

What's a TFL particle?

ETA: FTL? As in Faster Than Light? Wrong, of course, if so.

I am intrigued by eyes that are able to discern
reflected neutrino light off of flat stones​
Given that neutrinos can seemingly pass through trillions of kms of solid lead, one wonders how many of them are reflected from the surface of a stone, however flat it may be.
 
I assume these neutrino folks think faster-than-light is involved here as well. The earth image in the background of the page is spinning east-to-west. That must mean that someone is moving backward in time!

Depends if you interpret the image as if the north pole is closer to you, or the south pole. Maybe they are from Australia !

Also depends, if it's a photo from orbit, whether you are above or below geosynchronous orbit.
 
Looks like the NK cells they want are in the 'Buffy Coat' layer. If/when, Donations will be done at UCSD, not a plasma collection center. So I don't know if they'll take the whole plasma and keep it or if the centrifuge separates the buffy at the table? Or once they find out I am AB+, they just drain me dry?

Unfortunately what it means is this is either a crank web site or a scammer's web site. The physical fact is that neutrinos interact too rarely with matter to be an energy source other than billions of times weaker than sunlight.

A "Scientific Advisory Board" of dozens of "scientists".
A chairman that looks like a general practitioner ("GP Erwin Wolski (Chairman)"
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Konstantin Meyl (German Wikipedia) who is charitably labeled as holding "pseudoscientific hypotheses and assertions". He looks like a crank who believes the Earth expands because it absorbs neutrinos and has a incoherent unified theory.

I think you're in the wrong thread. This is neutrino woo.
And no, it's AB- donors that are drained dry.

Physically impossible. The only reason why we've detected neutrinos is because, once in a blue moon, one of them hits something. There's no way to generate enough of them to have any useable impact without creating a whole bunch of planet-busting radiation in the process. And if you're going to heat up water for turbines anyway, just use the damned nuclear reactions.
