    Like shampoo which was originally for cleaning hair but is in fact an eye irritant and Ludo which is meant to be a jolly family game but ends up being a bloodbath: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...nd_discoveries

    But still they are preferred for whatever reason, makes me wonder who the real bobs (management ??) are.

    Don't sneer at these wonderful ideas. I am almost ready to launch my wind turbine powered drone. The faster it flies, the faster the turbine at the back goes, which supplies yet more power to the propeller and so on. I see no limit to the speed it will achieve.

    Here he explains some important scientific aspects of the breakthrough:

    “A century from now, it will be well known that: the vacuum of space which fills the universe is itself the real substratum of the universe; vacuum in a circulating state becomes matter; the electron is the fundamental particle of matter and is a vortex of vacuum with a vacuum-less void at the center and it is dynamically stable; the speed of light relative to vacuum is the maximum speed that nature has provided and is an inherent property of the vacuum; vacuum is a subtle fluid unknown in material media; vacuum is mass-less, continuous, non viscous, and incompressible and is responsible for all the properties of matter; and that vacuum has always existed and will exist forever. Then scientists, engineers and philosophers will bend their heads in shame knowing that modern science ignored the vacuum in our chase to discover reality for more than a century.” – Paramahamsa Tewari

    Yep, if it was that easy, everybody would be doing it, not selling books on how to do it.

    Love these "free energy" nuts - always selling devices, or offering to invest into their venture, instead of building power station and SELLING that free energy at half price

    I'll only believe it when Musk gets one of those for his Tesla cars...

    Love this bit:

    That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy it.
    "Nazionist". Bonkers.

    Do a google for "Overunity" and see how many hits come back describing the same thing. Perpetual motion / Unlimited free electricity announced as a new breakthrough.

    They've been around for years but never quite seem to deliver on their promises.

    Because it's yet another free unlimited energy scam based on spurious pseudo-science. The usual pattern is:

    1. announce your breakthrough discovery / and or defiance of the Petro-Dollar conspiracy
    2. Form a company with yourself as CEO
    3. Advertise for suckers, sorry, investors, draw salary and expenses from the funds invested.
    4. Announce a breakthrough, such that device will be in full production real soon.
    5. Go to 3.

    Repeat until exposed as a charlatan. Optional: Go to jail.
