    I dont think one has to read the technical details to know that something that violates the basic laws of conservation is unlikely to be anything but a con.

    Initally I thought it meant vacuum literally, a big long tube that you poke up into outer space and the vacuum sucks up the air turning a small impeller to drive the generator. That would work.

    A balloon on a very long string that you sent up into the slipstream would be a good idea too, the string turns a winch to power the dynamo. When you come to the end of the string, a signal releases the ballon and you send up another, which also rewinds your first bit of string. And the signal could deflate the balloon so you could reuse that too.

    Of course if NASA had had the sense to tie a piece of string to the moon when they were up there that would have been even better; it could have towed a big train round and round the earth with no electricity cost at all.

    PS Lots of articles quoted, not same as participants. They seem to be real enough. Whether the right conclusions are drawn is another matter.
