Why do his supporters choose to attack anyone who is not able to replicate the advertised functionality?
People accuse Bedini and his supporters of having a hidden agenda, people accuse me of having a hidden agenda, but somehow the Mythbusters are absolutely above reproach? Everything they say should just be taken as gospel without question?
People sell things to earn money else they would give them away for free.
Why do you automatically assume the worst? What if they sell books and kits, because the motors work and they want people to try building them?

If it actually worked they wouldn't have to sell all this books and kits.
That's the classic scammer tactic. You can't sell the final "product" as you would be done for fraud and false advertising so instead you sell the parts + instructions and blame the customer when it inevitably doesn't work

First, what is a "physical definition"? Second, you're the one who believes in thermodynamics so strongly that you think all the energy in the Universe has simply been here all the time. Possibly even more absurd, you're using basic thermodynamic concepts to make arguments concerning the most fundamental aspects of nature and the possibility of using vacuum energy. This whole time you've been trying to discuss quantum mechanics from a classical perspective. Answer me this, how much do you know about quantum mechanics?
Seriously. Go and look up the physical definition of energy, work and maybe entropy while you're at it. You're making yourself a clown.
Because this was not just any test, this is a test that was broadcast out to the world on national TV!
You seriously don't see why the actual inventor would want to be present at such a test, to ensure that the testers were actually doing everything right and not merely producing a hatchet job?
Have you actually watched the segment, BTW? The Mythbusters were obviously biased right from the start. Their body language was cocky and arrogant and exaggerated, they were cracking jokes the entire time; clearly they weren't actually taking their work seriously.
They were told to produce a hatchet job, and that's what they did.
That's what the Yahoo group is for. People join the group, they are given a schematic, they build the device and report their results. If they are successful with that, they are given a schematic for a more advanced model, they build and test that and report their results, and so on.
Why do they sell a "Free Energy Circuits and Schematics" book? Surely not to get people building things and doing peer review?
Why do they sell open-source kits with all the parts and instructions? It couldn't be for peer review....
How should that member go about doing that? What sort of evidence could that member show us that would actually be convincing for a majority of the members here?
The man is single handedly responsible for pushing us into the electronic era.
wireless power transmission
wireless communication, radio-controlled devices
x-ray technology, laser and radar technology,
the list goes on and on.
Yet the first thing you do is attack the mans sanity, ABSOLUTELY TYPICAL. He was talking about radiant energy long before he was old and senile.
That's exactly why it's all about experimentation and tinkering. It doesn't matter how much you try to tell me energy can't come from nothing, your speculation is meaningless because science doesn't know enough about the nature of reality to begin with. You are trying to tell me these concepts are too advanced to make it work, yet at the same time are trying to explain to me how it can't be done, when in actuality you have no idea whether it can REALLY be done or not. Neither do I, but there's lots of reason to believe it might be possible, and I'm damn well going to try. When I think about all the energy in the Universe I can't believe that it was simply here all a long. When I ask people where God came from they tell he he/her/it was simply there all along. It's NOT a valid answer. It's completely illogical!
Haven't you ever seen those toothbrushes which sit in the base and charge without the need for any electrical nodes to touch? Via a simple induction coil located in the base it's easy to achieve wireless energy transmission. In fact the Wardenclyffe Tower was designed to commercialize a similar idea and give it world wide functionality.
This, not so much. Wireless power transmission is, really, a pipe dream.
The US Supreme Court has ruled that Tesla was the originator of wireless communication, including radio technology. It doesn't matter how much it was "tweaked" afterwards, he gave the first wireless technology to the world.
radio was largely the accomplishment of other inventors who were responsible for the contact diode essential to detection of information within a radio signal.
"x-ray technology, laser and radar technology,"
No, not really.
In 1917, around the time that the Wardenclyffe Tower was demolished by Boldt to make the land a more viable real estate asset, Tesla received AIEE's highest honor, the Edison Medal.
Tesla, in August 1917, first established principles regarding frequency and power level for the first primitive radar units.[80]
In 1934, Émile Girardeau, working with the first French radar systems, stated he was building them "according to the principles stated by Tesla".
Nikola Tesla - Wikipedia
In April 1887, Tesla began investigating what would later be called X-rays using his own single terminal vacuum tubes (similar to his patent #514,170). This device differed from other early X-ray tubes in that it had no target electrode. The modern term for the phenomenon produced by this device is bremsstrahlung (or braking radiation). We now know that this device operated by emitting electrons from the single electrode through a combination of field electron emission and thermionic emission. Once liberated, electrons are strongly repelled by the high electric field near the electrode during negative voltage peaks from the oscillating HV output of the Tesla Coil, generating X rays as they collide with the glass envelope. He also used Geissler tubes. By 1892, Tesla became aware of the skin damage that Wilhelm Röntgen later identified as an effect of X rays.

I would confront the Mythbusters' test with my own public video, openly releasing designs on how to build my machine correctly (with step-by-step instructions with a list of raw materials/components available from a number of different manufacturers) - and call for everyone to begin constructing a network of over-unity rechargers so that we could eventually have enough batteries in flux to do serious industrial tasks with, literal, truckloads of AA batteries (or whatever form factor they get made and recharged in).
Wait... seriously? That's how the Yahoo group works?
So, if you build the device and fail to do it correctly, or it simply doesn't work... you don't get to "move up?"
Shouldn't that raise some red flags?
When someone says: "I have this amazing product, but you can only buy it as a kit with instructions" - you should be leery.
And you dared to call me obtuse?
How should that member go about doing that? What sort of evidence could that member show us that would actually be convincing for a majority of the members here?
If this # worked, I'd have a whole room full of these things.

You might say harvesting ZPE is like extracting energy from the aether, but it isn't the typical liquid or moving aether which has been disproven by science, it's a homogenous and isotropic aether making reference to space-time and the energy contained in so called 'empty' space.edit on 17-11-2011 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)
