Free Electricity? (any electrical engineers in here?)
Edited on Mon Jun-12-06 01:58 PM by Popol Vuh
I stumbled upon this e-book about a guy who, apparently, invented a device that produces electricity freely. What's the story on this if anyone knows? Was it a bunch of bull? Or was it suppressed by the oil money powers? From just skipping through this book, it looks like no bull to me.

What do you all think?

5. Is the "Conversion tube" like a flux capacitor?
I'm not going to claim that cheap energy sources will never be discovered, but this is definitely not it.

as heinlein said.

theres no such thing as a free lunch.

energy is not created, just converted from one form to another and you have efficiency to bargain with too.
1984 came and went. orwell seems to have been visionary, it doesnt appear so for mr grey.

i think the unique all girl diving story is probably more usefull.

4. It's Bull.
Don't put any money into it.

I can't quite tell what he is claiming, but it sounds like standard pseudoscience bullcrap.

Tesla was a genius, but any current reference to his work in conjunction with 'free energy' is a good clue to stay away.

6. I hope you didn't send them any money

Because NONE of this makes sense.

And look at the date. 1973? EVEN IF "big oil" bought out all the patents, they would have expired by now.

And we all would have been flying around in our fuelless personal helicopters or antigravity cars.

8. How much will
they charge us for the sunlight if we ever switch to solar power? Will we some day be complaining about "Big Sun?"
