Neil Cavuto û endless free energy from magnetic machine (Steorn)

Neil Cavuto does an interview with this guy. He leads in with "This almost sounds to good to be true. I know you’re a genius, but explain it in layman’s terms."

I guess all the petrochem guys and power plant guys better start looking for other jobs. At least we won't have to worry about global warming any more.

I do hope you put this up as an April Fool's joke.

Quite simply the analogy would be, you know, you walk to the top of the hill and you walk back down to the bottom of the hill, bu in doing that you've gained energy, and it really is that simplistic.

What is endless is the number of people willing to walk up and down the hill in the hopes of it being different this time. I predict that, once again, this same old "magnetic hill" scheme will not fail to fail.

I thought my sarcasm was transparent. But to clarify.... no, I am not looking for a new job (I work in a power plant).

The thing that amazes me is that this type of thing makes it onto Cavuto, and Cavuto treats him as if he is some kind of legitimate scientist with a revolutionary discovery. Instead of debating about whether it's real, the discussion turns to things like whether it will be safe.

I should have known. I feel silly for having doubted you. I'm a little off from another recent unpleasant brush with a junk-science peddler.

So what is the gimmick? If it really works, why go through all this, why not just put it into use and put all the global energy companies out of business.

Since they are not doing that I have to assume that it is some kind of gimmick, either an advertising ploy or some stunt. What could they possibly get out of all this?

Pure ego mixed with bull manure gives unending energy source!

See previous thread on Steorn (can't reference since the Eng-Tips search engine seems to be out) but I do recall that Google for "overunity" will take you to some interesting cranks.

Well, this is obviously a fake. This, however is the Real Deal...

I think these guys are giving Steorn a run for the money.

The Hydro-G produces very low noise levels and could be used to replace coal and Gas fired boilers in existing power stations.
It can produce steam supplying cheap and constant electricity, utilizing electric heater elements instead of burning fossil fuels to create steam used normally to drive larger power turbines.

This is simply ingenious! Use electric power to produce steam to drive turbines to produce electricity.

I'm going to start getting my resume ready. Conventional plants will surely be obsolete once this watershet technology is commercialized

The Hydro-Gravitizer is propelled into rotational motion by using a combination of, water weight, & water re, circulation, compressed air, and air vacuum, plus a micro processor for rhythmic timing.

'Rhythmic timing'?? Gimme a break - the basketcase who dreamed this nonsense up can't even spell 'generator' on the title page. I too fear for my job!

It's sad, and tragic in the longterm, for America that the news sources & general public are so uneducated in the sciences.

This quack amused us last year; the linked video of Cavuto & Steorn is much better in thread238-163098. Some more discussion in thread769-164283.

How about using ocean currents to turn a very large conducting coil in Earth's Magnetic field in order to have a virtually unlimited supply of electricity.

I haven't heard anyone slinging this idea before, but after I just made it up, I thought it was ridiculous enough to be relevant to this thread.

Although common laws of physics may not be try for some things we don't know right now like time and space curve, this on the other hand is impossible. 1st law of physics is not a stand that physicist made to make their claims correct. I men making energy from nothing is like you have 1$ and you say Hmmm I need 2 000 $ for my Caribbean trip and you watch your money multiply buy it self until you get 2000 $. Eqipotenicial magnetic circles are common thing and Tesla was doing his Gravity energy research on them, but One thing is travel without loosing energy thanks to the eqipotencial field and sure another is gaining energy from nothing. And that is what that guy is claiming. While traveling on eqipotencial magnetic field You gain energy from no where! I would believed him if he said he is using graviton energy and energy of earth magnetic field to get the electrical energy. Nikola Tesla created such prototype but he destroyed both him and all the data about it telling that Humanity is not reedy for such thing (probably because of the military aspect of that) but he needed 3 years just to calculate Earth resonating frequency. And after he destroyed his findings no one was able to do it again.
So I can claim that here is one of 2 things:
1. The guy has no idea about what he is talking about
2. He is what we Christians say GOD
Now why would god make such thing asking for scientific proof,
so by simple deduction.... What would you pick from those 2 things above?


Energy cant be destroyed or created from nothing!
It can only change its shape.

Tesla was smart enough to flee to Colorado Springs since no one understood his theories in New York! No one understood them in Colorado either but it did not matter cause "thar was gold in them hills".

Tesla was breaking new ground. Steorn is just shoveling old B.S.
