I don't think I have said or even indicated that I believe anyone's claims.
I know enough to understand that I don't really know much at all for sure, if anything.
Come on dude, make a bit of an effort to engage intelligently.

You can’t get any more energy out of a system than was put in.
When someone like Newman tells you that their free energy machine works on a subatomic level, they’re pulling the wool over your eyes.
They’re just trying to give you an explanation that you can’t easily verify or replicate since they expect it would be well beyond your understanding.
The workings of atoms are well understood by eggheads out there.
This account obviously does not explain much about the circuit.
Indeed, in the Feynman lectures we read:4
‘‘We ask what happens in a piece of resistance
wire when it is carrying a current. Since the wire
has resistance, there is an electric field along it,
driving the current. Because there is a potential
drop along the wire, there is also an electric field
just outside the wire, parallel to the surface ~Fig.
27-5!. There is, in addition, a magnetic field
which goes around the wire because of the current.
The E and B are at right angles; therefore
there is a Poynting vector directed radially inward,
as shown in the figure. There is a flow of
energy into the wire all around. It is of course,
equal to the energy being lost in the wire in the
form of heat. So our ‘‘crazy’’ theory says that the
electrons are getting their energy to generate heat
because of the energy flowing into the wire from
the field outside. Intuition would seem to tell us
that the electrons get their energy from being
pushed along the wire, so the energy should be
flowing down ~or up! along the wire. But the
theory says that the electrons are really being
pushed by an electric field, which has come from
some charges very far away, and that the electrons
get their energy for generating heat from
these fields. The energy somehow flows from the
distant charges into a wide area of space and then
inward to the wire.’’ ~emphasis added!.
However, the result of such an application
and the resulting energy transfer in the circuit apparently did
not satisfy Feynman. He wrote: ‘‘this theory is obviously
nuts, somehow energy flows from the battery to infinity and
then back into the load, is really strange.’’4 Feynman, however,
did not persist and left the problem for others to find a
reasonable explanation. Can we say more about energy transfer
in this simple circuit?

It’s absolutely silly to think that charlatans like Newman and Meyer have actually stumbled upon something that they haven’t.

Biological entities have been doing alchemy since time immemorial so there is no reason to suspect that we are not already doing so in labs or as part of military projects somewhere.
[Kervran hyperlinks snipped]
Energy in = energy out.
By simply looking at the picture at the top of page nine you can confirm to yourself that a dipole releases more energy than is employed to create or maintain it.
It would be better to read the entire article but i have not had much success when it comes to convincing the critics of free energy to do some actual reading.
Yes, I understand this. As I made perfectly clear before, wind, sun and wave power are not “free energy.” They’re simply freely available energy. Or from another standpoint, systems that employ them are open-loop.
You can’t get any more energy out of a system than was put in.
Well no one is pretending that we do but then we did not create the universe, the sun or this planet so it's quite irrelevant to state that we can not get out more energy than we put in. Wind, sun and wave power proves quite clearly that you can get more than you put in so the whole conservation of energy law is ABSOLUTELY useless on local scales and especially not when our Earth is not by any means a closed system. Entropy is simply not a given everywhere.
When someone like Newman tells you that their free energy machine works on a subatomic level, they’re pulling the wool over your eyes.
On what level should a free energy system work then?
I’m not. I’m just stating the obvious. Newman and many like him know squat about subatomic particles, but cite them as the means by which their machines operate. They’re charlatans.
Where do you think electricity comes from? Last i checked the electron was still a subatomic particle and, according to classical physics, quite involved in this whole energy issue. I don't personally rate them that highly but why on Earth would you criticise a free energy researcher for saying exactly the same thing classical physicists are?
They’re just trying to give you an explanation that you can’t easily verify or replicate since they expect it would be well beyond your understanding.
So his in effect doing what the massive majority of establishment scientist are doing?
Yes, they do.
The workings of atoms are well understood by eggheads out there.
Which is hard to believe when they do not know what energy is or where it actually comes from and much less how it powers loads!

Well he does in fact 'do more than refer back to his own site' but why is that wrong when it's people like yourself that in part forced him to compile the information? Do you think he likes repeating himself for your benefit?

That's why some people do not believe everything they read and do their best to supply numerous links to connect all the dots.
Free energy, if it existed, would be an endless source of energy. At 10¢ per kWh, that’s $∞ (an infinite amount of money). So right out of the gate, that rationale of yours falls flat on its face.
Well the problem with that theory is these devices are mobile and do not rely on energy networks; once bought the only recurring cost will be yearly maintenance with no inherent cost per kWh.
Maybe the difference between us is that I err on the side of skepticism and you on the side of belief. But I won’t even claim to know you that well.
I think the problem here is that you believe what you are engaging in is 'skepticism' when that's just not the case. Skepticism requires knowledge of the subject which are then employed to come to the most reasonable and sensible conclusion; since you do not have the knowledge your conclusions is predictable unreasonable and nonsensical.
Just don’t be so quick to doubt and throw aside everything you know.
Where energy really comes from is not 'everything' by any stretch of the imagination but some people are clearly more sensitive to accepting the type of change which might very well undermine their arrogant confidence in their own abilities. I appreciate the fact that it is for the most part a subconscious self defense mechanism but some of us have in fact learnt to cope with our obvious ignorance, by accepting these very counter-establishment views, and naivety and are doing our best to become less so.
Because then, you’re left with nothing.
Well luckily i can attest to the fact that there is always something more basic and solid ( i am agnostic, could be but have not proved it for myself, so i don't mean 'solid' in a fanciful way) to cling to when you expose these establishment lies about the 'true' nature of reality. True skepticism and science in general can not be based on any indulgent kind of fear, especially not fear of change, and i believe that allowing yourself such will totally corrupt your knowledge filtration processes leading to the type of beliefs the establishment propaganda machine is well capable of propagating.
If you must believe in something believe that humanity is worth fighting for as frankly the alternative is a wasted life that could just as well be ended right this moment.

In your website you mention Richard Heinberg’s Exclamation Points on free energy.
I give you my thoughts about Richard Heinberg laughs to free energy.
The party's Over relate really to human and the inability to find sustanable energy source.
In this book it is clear that from the down of umanity, human have not yet reach the point of living in armony with a sustanable ecosystem.
Why would the "Elite" in this world would supress an energy that will free them from eventuale civilisasion calaps?
Oil is at peak and the only alternative for this crisis, according to the "Elite" is to create another crisis wich could eradicate maybe half of the world population.
World war, will must probably be already in they mindset.
Free energy can only save human race from oblivion, so why would the “Elite” will supress such energy?
They can only be “Elite” if the world exist as a all.
I belive they are clever enough to find a way to supress the “know-who” for free energy until the planet as reach some satisfacory population rate.
They are doint it already with nuclear technology.9 country to day are nuclear capable after 60 years when only 2 country had it. So free energy will be treat the same, if it existed?

Yes, they do.
Established science is right.
Your source is wrong. For starters, electrons are not energy.
They are matter.
The motion of electrons is energy.
This should help you understand better how circuits work, why AC works, etc.
As for your Sefton guy, he’s not the most reputable of sources.

Nren,
You have shown that you havent even really looked at Wade's website ith your last response to my posting.
I stated 100 trillion dollars worth of oil remains to be tapped and therefore free energy would be undesirable to their interests. You assume the big boys in charge could charge for free energy as a replacement source of revenue.
Perhaps you dont understand what the word "Free" means?
Or perhaps because you clearly know little on this subject you mistakenly assume free energy technology can be exploited by the elite?
And you believe that these devices are real?
The free energy devices I have seen pictures of and those described by many witnesses (disclosure project - dr. greer) is the size of a large shoebox. It is a localized unit that does NOT need the elitist massive infrastructure. Therefore once someone purchases such a device, they are completely independant of the grid. And the goverment cant collect tax revenue from this either since there isnt any meter.
In addition, since these devices have no moving parts and dont break down they'd last forever.
That we do. But actually, holiday lights easily last more than a year. In a string of 200, you lose, what, 1 or 2 in a year?
Ever wonder why holiday lights rarely last more than a year ? We live in a consumption based economy.
A free energy device would literally end poverty within a generation. It would also mean the G8 nations must share power and stop exploiting 3rd world countries.
In short, it changes everything.
And now I shall follow Wade and ignore you.
Its quite obvious you havent looked into this subject with an open mind.
I wonder if you even realize your ignorance is helping to destroy this planet...

The diagram shows clearly that we only measure the energy that falls into the circuit and not the absolutely vast majority that flowing in all directions from the source dipole.
Good luck getting people to read when you point them to irrelevant and/or incorrect sources.
I always read but i must admit that i have wasted years of my life in doing so. At best it prepared me to deal with those in denial as i am fully aware of nonsensical things you believe in with many opinions as to why you still do .
Yes, I understand this. As I made perfectly clear before, wind, sun and wave power are not “free energy.”
They are when we evaluate them from a human perspective.
They’re simply freely available energy. Or from another standpoint, systems that employ them are open-loop.
So is vacuum energy but yet you just refuse to understand the implication of what you just admitted.
Our whole energy infrastructure is predicated on the notion of freely available energy ( especially oil for instance) yet you have been taken in by the lie that there are no sources that makes energy even more freely availing.
Why are all our energy needs being met by using our environment to create dipoles? Why can we observe dipoles ( magnets if you will) to be freely radiating energy radially and in all planes?
Why draw a artificial line in the sand when it comes to just how free energy can be?
Why refuse a free lunch by pretending that the assumption of a closed universe ( the only reason why we should ever bother to consider conservation of energy) is immovable fact with implications as to conservation of energy on local scales? When did you sun last tax you for the food you grew? When did you last pay the wind for cooling you? Do you have to pay waves to crash onto beaches?
frankly i'm not impressed with what you refer to as a 'degree in electrical something'.
None. There is no such thing as free energy.
Another silly deflection from your side! The big bang theory is predicated on the notion of quantum flux; free energy.
Our whole universe could be a free lunch but here you go claiming there are no regions in this universe where negentropy reigns. How sadly misinformed you are.
I’m not.
You really were. When a fringe scientist tries to employ what establishment scientist admits he is attacked as crank just because he happens to put together the evidence in a different way and arriving at conclusions that are contrary to establishment decrees
I’m just stating the obvious. Newman and many like him know squat about subatomic particles, but cite them as the means by which their machines operate.
So does everyone who are involved in energy production!
They’re charlatans.
Possibly so but that proves not a thing about vacuum energy or anything else.

That’s not up to me.
I’m not going to extraordinary lengths to prove the obvious truth if the conspiracy theorists in this thread won’t even bother going to ordinary lengths to try to prove their assertions.
They determined it wasn’t profitable to keep producing and leasing EV1s.
In the 1990s celebrities by and large weren’t yet on the environmental bandwagon.
You’re just realizing that now?
So you tell me, what battery do you know of that works well at -30°F? You know, outside of Californistan, temperatures can actually reach that low, and even lower.
Batteries don’t work well in the cold.
WHY ISN'T THE EV1 AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE?
Electric vehicle technology is rapidly emerging and because of urgent air quality problems in California and Arizona, GM has limited the EV1's initial availability to those states. As manufacturing capacity increases and electric vehicles become cheaper to produce, they will hopefully be more widely available. GM is learning a lot about how to market an electric car along as well as dealing with the complexities of setting up charging infrastructure in California and Arizona. One other issue affecting first generation EV1's is the lead-acid battery pack which is less efficient in cold winter climates, making them more ideal for California's warmer weather. The generation 2 (1999) EV1's will be equipped with either Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries developed by GM Ovonic Battery Corp., or a new type of higher capacity lead acid batteries. NiMH batteries are not at all affected by cold weather, making them ideal for a wider range of climates in addition to offering double the range of the Generation 1 lead-acid batteries. The new lead acid batteries have better charging characteristics in hot weather, and are able to be retrofitted into Gen 1 EV1's. They offer a substantial range increase over the original Delco "Delphi" lead acid batteries that were installed in Gen 1 EV1's. NiMH batteries require special cooling which will prevent them from being installed into Generation 1 EV1's.
www.kingoftheroad.net...
This is to be compared with 37 miles per charge that I got with the lead-acid EV1; of course, the weather was in the 40's and low 50's Fahrenheit in December compared to the 70's this month, which also affected the lead-acid battery pack more severely than it would a NiMH pack.Early reports from people with NiMH EV1's, even in the cold weather, are that it is good for 120 to 160 miles per charge around town! Given that GM is charging less than 20% extra for the NiMH option in the 1999 EV1 lease, I have to wonder if anybody is going to go for the (improved) lead-acid variant
www.altfuels.org...
Additional information:
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries provide incremental improvements in capacity over the NICAD at the expense of reduced cycle life and lower load current.
Research of the NiMH system started in the seventies as a means for hydrogen storage for a Nickel Hydrogen battery. The metal hydride alloys were unstable in the cell environment and the desired performance characteristics could not be achieved. As a result, the development of the NiMH slowed down. New hydride alloys were developed in the 1980's that were stable enough for use in a cell. Since the late eighties, the NiMH has steadily improved, mainly in terms of energy density. Design engineers have indicated that the NiMH has a potential of yet higher energy densities.
www.computerhope.com...
This is why a battery powered car is not viable globally or even nationally as a replacement to the gasoline powered car.
You’re still arguing on the assumption that many affluent people would have bought the EV1 to begin with.
