Fed up with rising gas and electricity prices?

Where do I fill it up with Gas?

Actually, I did read it some time ago when posted on other sites I frequent.

So no, I didn't poo poo it out of hand, I looked at it critically and tried not to laugh too much, (OK I did snigger occasionally,) until I got to the end.

If it's a hoax, it's a hugely elaborate one with a great many credible participants.

For some reason, which is a subject worthy of study in its own right, many supposedly intelligent people get taken in by these devices, every year.

So where's the flaw in this otherwise insanely brilliant idea then?

Well, if you look at the picture posted earlier in this thread you can see the wires powering it arriving stage left...

True. But the claim is that it produces more power than it consumes - not that it requires no power input at all.

If that was true, it could then power itself, so they could build one in a perspex box with a little light or something and take it around with them.

Which they don't.

Which gives the game away doesn't it really?

The best energy conservation investment the Government could make would be to make it compulsory to wear woollen hats for British Citizens irrespective if they are at home or the workplace, summer months being excluded.

Given that we lose thrity per cent of our internal bodyheat via our head then we could potentially reduce our bills and energy consumption by thirty per cent by adopting this simple measure.

Those found flaunting this law would be subject to summary decapitation.

I think this is fair , dont you ?

Book Description
Free energy and anti-gravity are new solutions to the world's energy crisis. Rarely mentioned in the media-- even as power shortages cripple the U.S.-- Zero-Point Energy can transform our earth to a self-sustaining, pollution-free planet. The basic theory of Zero Point Energy maintains that there are fluctuations of electrical field energy embedded within the fabric of space. By identifying the densest energy; and then using today's technology to balance the energy flow, we can acquire free energy which doesn't deplete the earth. Filled with detailed diagrams, patents, and photos, the chapters include: * Fundamentals of Zero-Point Energy Technology * Tapping Zero-Point Energy as an Energy Source * Vacuum Energy Vortices * The Super Tube * Charge Clusters

About the Author
Moray B. King is an internationally known physicist, author and speaker with specialities in on Zero-Point Energy, Tesla Technology and Quantum Physics. He lives in Utah with his family and various robots and pets.


I think I might have to buy this one. I reckon free energy might catch on.

Perhaps it doesn't quite provide enough extra power to power itself. Doesn't mean that it's output isn't more than it's input.
