Making a prototype would take much time and money. 1000$ would be if you already know what to do.
But all these guts are already claiming they know what to do. They have prototypes that they claim create free energy. So why did you bring up?
And the guy from Utah already has funding. He is building a prototype in Canada for an Oil company. He received millions, but needs billions to create a market applicable machine.
It costs $5,000 at most to patent it, at which point you can explain it publicly and not sorry about it being stolen. It probably costs much less than millions to create a small scale working model that you can use to prove it works, and let others test with. Why is money always an excuse with these guys, even if they have millions?
Physics is not simple you know. It's delicate.
I know. I have an engineering background as well, in electromechanical engineering, dealing in linear motors and magnetic levitation. I also own patents and have been through the process of getting them, and have had to design and build my own models. I'm calling bullshit on all these things because I know how this stuff works.
Also dangerous he works with pressures of up to 100G. That's why you can't do it in your home. You need a lab and team of scientists to do that successfully.
What does danger have to do with proving whether it works? And what do you mean by 100G? The only way to get that kind of force is through centripetal motion, like on a spinning fly wheel. 100G is also not that dangerous if you use light materials or small scale. As for the lab, if he needs a lab and scientists to make this device to test it, then how does he even know it works? The only way would be to have some mathematical modeling engineering calculations. Should be easy to check and verify those.
That's how the MAGLEV patent I own is. Due to physics limitation, I can't build it too small scale, and the smallest scale possible would cost $170k, which is money I don't have. BUT, every piece of the invention is precisely mathematically calculated, using standard physics formulas, to every tiny detail, and can be checked and verified completely as a math model. Which it has been. You can calculate all the levitation forces, and prove that it works, without actually building it. That's how true engineers design stuff. Not this garage tinkering, hoping to accidentally guess something that will work without knowing how or why.
Stop arguing just for the sake of arguing.
I'm arguing for the sake of pointing out that these guys are liars and charlatans at worst, and complete idiots at best. Sadly, the vast majority of them are lying scumbags.
He said that it needs power to start. But a part of the produced power would go for powering the unit. That's the tricky part. How to conserve the produced power while unit is off.
My question, if you remember, is why does it need to be off? Let it use the extra energy it produces to power itself, and never turn it off. Problem of conserving produced power solved. But not a single one of these drives has ever been able to power itself indefinitely. Why don't you find that suspicious?
Of course he will not reveal his full idea on youtube. Someone would steal it. Oldest trick in human character.
Also, oldest trick for these liars. Spend $3000 to $5000 to patent it, and no one will steal it. Better yet, give it to the world for free. People will give him a lot of money and praise anyway.
Do you really think that the Universe runs on Oil and electricity, and that there is no free energy running it?
The universe runs on fusion, and there is no free energy in it. Stars enevtually fuse all the fuel they can, and die off. Planets and other orbiting things eventually slow down from friction, and fall into the star, assuming the star doesn't burn out and explode first. Everything in the universe is using up energy, not creating it.
Its obvious that the Universe does not need an engine to run for billions of years. It's just that our tiny brains are incapable of dealing with it.
Maybe yours is, but mine isn't. As I said, stop pretending that we are all nt smart enough, thus maybe things are true after al. Some of us ARE smart enough to know better. The universe engine that has been running for billions of years is loosing pass and burning up energy. There's a good change it will use all that energy up and stop after many more billion years. Or collapse back in on itself.
