I'm not sure why you are here at this Forum, but for most of us we try to learn and grow ourselves to the extent possible and to "network", which means we do our best to share what we know with the others here.
If you are going to make such statements without any knowledge of the technology it is nothing but uninformed 'opinion', and we are aware here that opinions are for the most part worthless because they are not based upon facts and data. If you do not want to spend any time or effort to research this technology, that is up to you. Perhaps you have better things to do.
We also try out best to keep the signal-to-noise ratio at a high level of signal with as little noise as possible.
"A sufficiently advanced technology will appear to us as magic" - Arthur C. Clark
And, as the C's tell us repeatedly: "Knowledge Protects, Ignorance Endangers!"
So then let me explain a bit. I have been working as an EE, serial entrepreneur, CTO for 40 years. Still, I am curious and open to new challenges, after having been consistently creating and producing solutions which nobody in the trade thought possible.
As most forum members I guess, I am here to learn and network and to contribute my (by no means unlimited) knowledge and experience so that we can collectively advance.
Similar to inquorate, the "free energy" space has always attracted me, and I spent a great deal researching, in the process learning to recognize the good, the well-intentioned, the illusory and the slimy scam.
The ability to separate wheat from chaff as quickly as possible is part of my baggage, always subject to revisions of course, but undeniably valuable in that it protects, as in "knowledge protects", if only in that it saves me time.
An early encounter with a free energy chaser was when I bought John (?) Newman's book in '78 or '79, paying over 100$ for it. After reading it, I realized that I had been had.
Currently, among others I follow the adventures of Andrea Rossi and his e-cat, which IMO looks promising (although it's not strictly "free energy" or ZPE).
But let's have a closer look at the passage that made my BS meter explode: The ability of the contraption to
"automatically sense the needs of the consumer device in terms of DC, AC, Voltage, frequency and current" (paraphrased).
Notice how to an uninformed person, this statement may very well seem acceptable: from a human point of view, there is nothing wrong with a mechanism sensing the needs of another, automatically adjusting the supply of energy with the aim to satisfy those needs. It's called empathy.
After all, that's how most of us with an STO slant behave with fellow humans. So, why shouldn't a machine be able to do that?
Well, because it can't. There is
no frikking way a contraption producing electricity can, over two or three supply wires, sense a consumer devices's
needs in terms of voltage, current and frequency. Let alone "without the aid of any electronics or inverters...".
In a nutshell, the "inventor" exploits a natural, positive human characteristic (empathy) and its projection on a piece of hardware, to convince the gullible. And only the gullible, i.e. the unprotected ignorant, can accept such BS.
After this, you will understand that I am not willing to spend more time (let alone on a three-hour video!) to "investigate" the rest of the claims such as the production of 5 times as much energy fed back into the grid, of course automatically...
Yes,
knowledge protects: I don't consider myself close-minded or dogmatic, but I feel rather protected from "this keshe guy", thanks.
