Yeah right you say, but have a look at this

40 seconds and its still the intro. i dont have that kinda attention span sorry.
I know, but the nice fonts make up for that ;)
try here instead, it explains how it works.
Hey! Heavy special effects on that intro!
Was this guy murdered?
From the limited reading I've done apparently after taking a job at the Pentagon to provide WFC converters for use on tanks he was at a celebration dinner, stood up and yelled out that he'd been poisoned then ran out into the parking lot where he collapsed and died.Quote:

It's very intriguing... I would like to know what happened to his computer, his notes, the working prototype he used to get the patent and the dunebuggy with the engine conversion kit...
Very intriguing indeed.
They talk about that guy on this site as well.

Man, after watching that video I'm furious. I mean, there it is and what became of it!? Nothing! This link almost deserves to be in the wtf thread. I've got half a mind to dedicate myself to finishing his work. grrr
I feel the same way.Quote:

He already finished it and made it work.
Coast to coast roadtrip in a dunebuggy on nothing but 28 gallons of tapwater...
What needs to be done now is for you to become a supergenius and rediscover from scratch his breakthrough that seemingly defies the law of conservation of energy that no other electrical engineer on the planet can figure out...

What I mean by finish is refine it into a durable, heavily tested, safe unit that can be mass produced and basically prepare it for consumption. I'd wanna take it from a sience project to a product.
From those websites it seems as if there are a few groups going over his work. The cool thing about his invention is that it splits water from a physics point of view instead of a chemists point of view. This means that chemists can't point their finger and say "breaking water requirers exactly the same amount of energy as making water!".
It's a hoax.
Let's see, some poor video of some miraculous invention that nobody can duplicate, an elusive free source of energy, and the guy is dead.
Sounds like cold fusion and the 200 mile per gallon carburetor rolled into one. :thumbsdow
It might be, but then its a patented hoax.
In case you missed it, all 4 part of that video are linked here. Extremely low res and terrible sound but its watchable.

So you've never heard of the Dick Tracy wrist 2-way radio with TV? That was more than 50 years ago.Quote:

Free energy!
Whoopty doo!
There is plenty of free energy all around us(sun, lightining, hydrogen in the air and water, radio active elements)
We just aren't smart enough yet to efficiently store this energy for later use.
Yup, its a hoax, look it up on wikipedia and even a quick google will show you how often its been debunked.
I wouldn't be suprised if he hadn't faked his own death...
The only place I didn't look was Wikipedia :(
for the rest of you
Yup it's a hoax...Quote:
