Another "Free Energy"/"Zero Point Energy"/"Perpetual motion device" scam

A Long Kept Secret For Generating Free Electricity is Finally On The Open, And You'll Never Have To Pay A Single Dime to the Power Company

How would you like to create a generator which creates free electric energy? Using our easy-to-follow guide, you will be able create a Magnetic Power Generator which creates absolutely free energy, and doesn't require any resource like wind or solar energy to function, the magniwork generator creates energy by itself and powers your home for free. The generator works fully off the grid, take a look at the following diagram to get an idea of how it works:
This method has been researched for a long time, but due to suppression of this idea from the big corporations, the plans for building a free energy generator which could change the world have never been out on the open. We finally succeeded in creating a web site which offers the Do-It-Yourself instructions for building such a device, and it is considered that this device will be able to solve the energy crisis.

...

A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free Energy Generator. It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself, indefinitely without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which can fully power your home for free. A Perpetual motion device refers to a machine that runs perpetually i.e. indefinitely, and produces a larger amount of energy than it consumes. Thus, it produces free energy indefinitely, runs by itself, without having to need a third-party device or resource to power it.

The free energy devices have been suppressed by the corporate world, because such devices, would allow people to create their own energy for free, which would ultimately shut down the big energy corporations, because people won't need to pay anymore for electricity to fill their pockets.

...
(You know, if it wasn't for the schematic, I wouldn't have believed it was possible.)

3. "It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion."
Check out the schematic. It's all quite clear... :sarcasm:

17. It's powered by commas.
The more, commas, the more, power.

4. Zero-Point Energy *is* a legitimate topic in physics.
Edited on Sun Mar-07-10 11:12 AM by mwb970
Check out the Wikipedia article on it.

The article includes this paragraph:

As a scientific concept, the existence of zero point energy is not controversial although the ability to harness it is. In particular, perpetual motion machines and other power generating devices supposedly based on zero point energy are highly controversial. No device claimed to operate using zero point energy has been demonstrated to operate as claimed. No plausible description of a device drawing useful power from a source of zero point energy has been given. Thus, current claims to zero point energy-based power generation systems currently have the status of pseudoscience or constitute outright fraud.

7. Right
Although (in my book) any mention of using "Zero Point Energy" in a "do-it-yourself" kit is uh... what's the word?...

6. In the next revision it will
Right now, they prefer to use permanent magnets.

8. It taps directly into the Green Field
Through a portal in your wallet.

11. Wow! Did you see the schematic?!? And how it had arrows pointing at different stuff?!?
Wow!!

12. Did you notice that some (but not all) flow both ways?
Edited on Sun Mar-07-10 02:22 PM by OKIsItJustMe
That's what convinced me.

Favorite details:
  • The "Power Source" is the only item not pictured.
  • Lot's of numbers, but no key to explain them.

14. Plus, the arrows were green - as if we needed any more proof as to the green nature of the source!
:rofl:

13. Free, perpetual energy that requires a back-up diesel generator?
What, just in case the magnets stop spinning?

:crazy:

16. That runs on zero-point energy too
Please...it's not that hard to understand :eyes:
