This 13-Year-Old Invented a Tesla-Inspired Free Energy Device for $14
The Antimedia ^ | May 19, 2016

Inspired by the geniuses Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, teenager Max Loughan loves to invent things, in fact, he says he has known his entire short life that his purpose was to change the world with his inventions. And he may just do it.

“As cheesy as this sounds, from day one, on this planet that I knew I was put here for a reason,” said Max. “And that reason is to invent, to bring the future.”

Wearing a lab coat while speaking in a televised interview with KTVN Channel 2 in Reno and Tahoe, Nevada, Max explains the free energy device that he made in his parents’ boiler room turned laboratory.

His invention looks somewhat reminiscent of Tesla coil, and operates on some of the same principles described by the electric visionary. The device is rather simple, harvesting electromagnetic energy from the atmosphere, then converting it to direct current which can be used to power electrical devices.

What’s even more incredible is that Max built his free energy device out of materials he purchased for less than $15. That’s right, for the price of an average lunch, it appears that anyone can have access to free energy.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

“He created an electro magnetic harvester out of a coffee can, some wire, two coils, and a spoon.”

In a demonstration with KTVN, Max uses current created by the machine to power a strip of LED lights that he had wrapped around his twin brother, astonishing to both his own family and the visiting news crew.

The harvester conducts radio waves, thermal, and static energy, and turns it into electricity. “This wire takes energy from the air.” And the inside the coffee can, “We turn it from AC to DC.”

Max’s achievement is impressive, to say the least, and the fact that works of Nikola Tesla are now inspiring the next generation of inventors is quite inspiring, although one has to wonder why Tesla’s ideas have taken some 75 years to reach the mainstream.

"He is harvesting radio waves."

If so he should be getting a visit by the newly dressed tactical weapons toting FCC. PBS will be mighty pissed if his can jams Mrs. Filmore's rerun episodes of "Benny Hill" and "Doctor Who", who happens to live next door.

Or maybe, as valid as the concepts might be, they have limited commercial applications.

IIRC it was Tesla who developed AC transmission, Westinghouse that incorporated it, then put it to wide scale use, and Edison who fought it tooth and nail before dropping DC and swamping the competition in the market. AC is precisely what created commercial applications of electricity.

Impossible...

Just hoping that gaffe was due to the typical level of journalistic sloth and not what the kid actually said.
In any event, this $14 miracle needs to be vetted better than previous miracles.

Yes I watched that. It tells nothing useful.

Here is a scientifically accurate Youtube video that demonstrates the principle of wireless power transfer, which is widely known and used and has been for 100 years:

I’m referring to the method used to gather power. I single led light is useful to keep a dark hallway lit enough at night to sort of see where you are going, but’s not going to be enough to cook you your supper or power a television. In that sense, it’s pretty useless.

Induction from ambient electromagnet waves, most of which are coming from alternating current electrical lines.

The closer it is to an AC power line the more "free" energy it will steal from the power company, or if it's on your side of the electric meter, from you.

We used to hold transistor radios up to the power line coming into residential electric meters. The volume would go up by an order of magnitude.

Why Tesla’s ideas took so long to get to the mainstream? First, alternating current was his idea, Edison’s direct current lost out. Tesla’s work is in over 99% of American homes. Second, when Tesla went to his financial backer, J.P. Morgan, to present the free energy idea, Morgan withdrew his backing, reportedly stating there would be nowhere to put a meter on usage, thus no way to make the kind of money he was after. Tesla declined after this. For what it’s worth, in Morgan’s lifetime he was accused of being the American agent of the Rothschild banking family in Europe, which at the time most Americans wanted nothing to do with. He always denied it. After his death he was found to be lying.

Tesla wasn’t very good about marketing his ideas. People would steal his ideas and use them to become wealthy and he would often shrug his shoulders.

If you are “harvesting” radio waves, it’s not exactly “free” energy, because the radio station is paying for the power to run the transmitter. In a sense, it’s stealing energy.

Some people are born to do certain professions, and know it very early in life. They possess an innate understanding and appreciation of the discipline. The lucky ones, have parents that support and guide their experiments, while still allowing the prodigies to enjoy their childhood.

I used to have a “toy” radio from radio shack that worked the same way. Used the radio wave itself for power using solenoid with many windings.

Unfortunately this is not actually “free” power. Even though you don’t have to plug in the device or put in gas, it depends on the existence of the radio wave to work.

That wave, transmitted into the open air, is created with supplied power. So the energy source is just somewhere else.

Kevmo got banned, but not for boosting ridiculously silly ideas. The two-year-old anger management skills he brought to the interminable cold-fusion threads he insisted on posting eventually ignited during a dialogue with the site owner. Then he discovered the power of hot fusion. Good riddance.
