The patent claims to extract energy from the fields of the permanant magnets of the device. If that were possible, where would we get all the energy to mine the minerals and magnetize all the iron? It is still a perpetual motion machine.

ok. When Cali falls off into the ocean I'll have oceanfront. No deal on the bridge though. I would like for it to be true but I am a believer of the saying "if it sounds to good to be true" so its probably not.

I'm glad to see you have such a good attitude about the ribbing you're taking. It's pretty rare around here

that breaks the 2nd Law.


and there have been many patents granted to perpetual motion machines-- all of which (obviously) didn't work.


side note: I spent many an afternoon after school working with my chemisty teacher, trying to perfect my own idea for a perpetual motion machine. even though he knew it couldn't be done, he let me experiment (and break things), and then he'd show me-- not just tell me-- but show me why it wouldn't work. and we even occassionally built full-models, only for them to fail. Mr. DeCoste was the best damn teacher there ever was.
