looks like the real deal to me

 

[Geoff]

Well, sure! I mean, it's on the Internet (and, apparently, has been for nearly eleven years) so it must be the real deal. They don't let just anybody put up a web page, after all.

Still, I'd feel more confident if there was a Wikipedia article about it...

Geoff, dial the smartass back to about 5, please.

YUP it's the real deal (about as real as unicorns and rainbow fairies....)

Sometimes, commentary from the staff is unnecessary.

Now is a good example.

I wonder if it's powered by cold fusion?

don't snicker at cold fusion too loudly. There is something observable going on in these reactions that is unaccounted for theoretically. That doesn't mean that people pursuing it are a bunch of crackpots - there are a number of intelligent people investigating these things.

And sometimes, deliberately being an over-the-top smartass is unnecessary.

But since that's not the case here, I'm not sure why you'd care to comment on it at all.

Your definition of over the top is quite obviously different from mine, Chaos Descending.

Now, can we please try to return this thread to its subject?

Yes. I'd see to that if I were you, as your definition of "over the top" is apparently (ironically enough), rather over the top.

EDIT: This part is meant to be combative and snarky.

Now, can we please try to return this thread to its subject?

Can we? Actually, why hasn't it been locked? Why is there room in a serious Science and Technology forum for a thread about perpetual motion machines?

EDIT: This part is NOT meant to be combative and snarky, and is in fact, a serious inquiry.

I know this is going to disappoint you, but that's just not going to happen.

Because there was actual discussion going on until you decided to derail it by instructing me on how to do my job?

Now, would you like to go back to the discussion, or would you like to keep instructing me on how you think this forum should be run?

Nah, I'm not disappointed. I knew it was a long shot, I just had to try.

Now, would you like to go back to the discussion, or would you like to keep instructing me on how you think this forum should be run?

Both, if possible, but I don't have too much time for the second part right now. I'll fill you in on my expectations in more detail later.

did you watch that video? looks like free energy to me.

I don't think so.

Yes, and no, it's not.

whats the problem with it?
