Free energy?

enrico.migchels
enrico.migchels over 15 years ago

Hi there,

 

There are several posts on the Internet from people who claim to have found the energy 'holy grail'. Meaning machines which convert energy from one form the another without loss or even with energy gain. What do we do which such claims as there is no one who has produced a machine that is in normal use somewhere by someone.

 

Personally i am strong non-believer of free energy devices, as they seem to contradict the law's of physicsas as we know them.

 

Please share your idea's and comments on this topic.

 

Best regards,

 

Enrico Migchels

    Personally, I find that sanity is just social concensus. 6443.contentimage_938.png I am amazed at the number of people that think we have an energy shortage. From my analysis, we are using just a small…

    Hi, -This is my first topic so I hope I won't make mistake. I strongly agree with you, but sometime it's possible to "harvest" a small quantity of energy that can be used to produce energy. For example…

    I find the EuroDish stirling generators quite interesting, as they use a parabolic mirror to concentrate light onto a small chamber which inturn heats water that drives a stirling engine, however this system also has flaws mainly in cost and maintainence. I think it would be neat if we could convert existing fossil fuel plants, which burn fuels to generate steam and so drive turbines, to instead generate steam using geothermal energy of the earth. As far as free energy goes (as in free for me) I have used static generators before to power small sensors with moderatly good results, luckly I'm near a TV transmission tower.
