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.

Sure it is not just a small transformer designed to rob electrical power from the magnetic lines of force around all electrical wires?

it’s free energy, harvested from RF. It’s in the MICRO VOLTS and MILLIONTH of an amp amounts.

So for 14$ you can get enough to run maybe a low power clock. For 3$ at Radio Shack you can buy a silicon solar cell that supply 1WATT at 3v. It’s free energy too.

Soooo, sorry to rain on your parade.... Yes, Tesla was a genius. No, there is no free lunch.

That is all.

the E-cat, if it works, doesn’t work as well as advertised.

It's a device designed to separate idiots from their money. In that regard it doesn't work especially well. People are wise to Rossi.

If it were DC, it would be only a single pulse, like lightning.

Broadcast energy is all AC.

From the power lines in the street, its 60 cycles, but radio is thousands of cycles.

The kid’s on to something. He could sell the gizmo to Musk who could turn it into hundreds of millions of crony dollars.

Knew a man from Wyoming who claimed his enire home was powered for free. Unfortunately for city folk you must first evict all your neighbors for 1 mile square. The wire would cost $100,000s.

Farmers could do it. Use dual purpose wire fencing.

“First, alternating current was his idea, Edison’s direct current lost out.”

Alternating current wasn’t his idea. He was a proponent of using AC electricity for the power grind since it was a lot more efficient to transfer electricity from the power station to customers using AC vs. DC. He invented the AC induction motor if memory serves.

DC can’t be transferred efficiently at lower voltages due to various parasitic effects in transmission lines (parasitic resistance, capacitance, inductance adds up over the long haul).

Despite that, there’s been a lot of research recently in creating a new DC based power grid since a lot of those transmission line limitations encountered in the late 1800s have been overcome.

Two modern benefits of using DC vs. AC :

1> Almost everything we use these days uses DC electricity ... we have to convert AC to DC ... we lose power in that conversion mainly in the form of heat. There are lots of techniques we can employ to convert one DC voltage to another DC voltage with very little loss.

2> You don’t need to phase align power grids to transfer electricity from one grid to another. This requirement has led to widespread blackouts on occasion. Moreover, since you don’t have those synchronization issues, you can, in theory, destroy part of a DC power grid and still have it operational.

AC was the wise choice back then. DC would be better these days overall. It’ll be neat to see it all play out yet again :-).

WOW...a 13 year old who even knows who Nikola Tesla is. Outstanding!

No. Not unless he is next to, for instance, a 50,000 Watt AM station.

We used to take students on a field trip to a local power station. They were given fluorescent tubes to hold in the air and watch them light up. Great fun.

The nearest power company may be after him for theft of power. It is not that hard to get power form power lines form a distance.

A Scottish preacher invented the Sterling Engine 200 years ago. It seems like magic to me but I don’t think it ever had a lot of practical use.

The professor could have made it for a lot less than $14. He would have used coconuts and bamboo.
