I'd put it in a category including turning lead to gold.

We used to watch this in physics lab. Unfortunately the gold wasn't stable either and turned back to lead.

It's the normal decay scheme for some lead isotopes.

I'm not wearing tinfoil and I can think of reasons to keep anything of this nature under wraps from a national security standpoint. The best is that you want your opponent to know enough about what you got to deter them from aggression. If deterence fails, you want to have enough in your back pocket to obliterate them. If such a fallback measure depended on something wild like this, you wouldn't want you oppenents to know it is possible beforehand - such knowledge would allow them to duplicate or negate your advantage.

It's not that kinda thing.
To get any real advantage from it, we would have to do enough development and mass production to use it as the energy source in all our weapons systems and vehicles, which means completely redesigning all of them.

Releasing it would leave the middle East bankrupt, but it would just increase the profit of the energy companies.
Electrical companies are in the distribution business, not the power production business.
Fossil Fuel companies would love to concentrate on the petrochemical industry with ultra cheap energy and feedstocks.

The economy goes up and down as the reciprocal of energy prices. A radical cut in energy prices would set off a boom that is almost beyond conception.
That is how you would use a breakthrough like this to defeat any enemy.

Whoohoo!! You posted it. Have you actually managed to enjoy all that site has to offer? Like "I drive good stork?"

[PatrickHenry]

Whoohoo!! You posted it.

Yup. But I haven't explored it fully. And I want everyone to know ... you found that site.

Here it is again: I'm a Victim of a Time Coup d'etat.

Tough to get past this bit. Kind of convenient that this unnamed "inventor" is under a "gag order".

The Defense Department has prohibited the inventor from telling anyone his name.

[itsahoot]

nobody was ever too SMART to be scammed,

Look how many experts were conned by the spoon bender Uri Geller, who by the way is a very close friend to Michael Jackson. Wonder what he bent for him <(•¿•)>

everybody wants to get in on th ground floor of something that will become big. the problem with the concept is that if a concept really had that kind of potential, there would be no problem getting support from the insiders, and it will never make it to the little guy.

it's like if you see an advert for stock or investment advertised on the major media - run - the people in the know are running too. If a "real" investor won't invest, than there is something wrong.

[Plutarch]

Perpetual motion! I worked on it, and almost had it a few times.

The so-called "free energy" of space is also called "energy of zero potential. In a nutshell, this means it is incapable of flowing. We do not produce useful work from energy, but from energy flow. For flow to occur, there must be regions of higher potential, such as higher temperature, higher voltage, or vertical displacement in a gravitational field.

To get work from enrgy of zero potential, you have to get it to flow uphill. To get it to flow uphill, you have to do work on it. To do work on it, you have to supply energy at higher potential.

[longshadow]

Other scientists-inventors who attempted to build and operate free energy machines have been intimidated and harassed by the U.S. government. At least one inventor had his device confiscated by the Defense Department on the grounds that its free energy technology endangered national security interests. This inventor was put under a gag order, so that he could not even tell the press that his N machine had been confiscated.

Uh-huh; and I have an invisble dwarf who controls the Universe sitting on my shoulder; I could tell you more about him but for a "gag order" he has imposed upon me -- he'll destroy the entire Universe if I tell you anything more.... so you'll have to take my word for it that he's really there.

Are you sure this story didn't come from CBS?

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

This is right up there with the 'inventor' in the 1930s who developed a carburator that would give every car 200 mpg of gas. It was 'of course' bought up by Big Oil and he was silenced.

Don't forget the pill you put in the gas tank, so you could fill up with water and use it for fuel.

"antigravity"

I just knew that word was going to pop up in the article before it ended. I wasn't dissapointed.

[Final Authority]

for later read

[PatrickHenry]

I could tell you more about him but for a "gag order" he has imposed upon me ...

How well I understand! My faster-then-light drive has been suppressed by NASA. My anti-gravity spray has been quashed by the trucking industry. Ah, but my eternal life elixir is still unregulated. Of course, it's not perfected yet, but soon ...

[Little Ray]

Surprise! Cold Fusion is being closely re-examined!

Still, it sounds pretty silly to me, too.

IF it only needs 1/5 of its power to run, can they disconnect it and run it on off its own output ("break even")?

[R. Scott]

… but if he turns it on, the government may confiscate it.

Right. That’s why I never fire up my 10,000 megawatt perpetual motion machine or use my water powered car.

[tjg]

"I don't think this audience is ready for the real science contained in the Time Cube."

I know I'm not. I found it downright scary.

[R. Scott]

… when you're installing it on your electric meter

It’s called a coffee can full of nails. Free energy.

[ovrtaxt]

Saw this years ago, probably on FR.

They were seeking investors to install these things on their property and sell power to the local grid.
