Is this dribble?

It must be a fraction of 1% but I can usually hear them when they are switched on. The rest makes heat. So if this device reduces the energy required to heat water by such a massive amount it's just re-invented the most basic laws of physics. And only prats like you could believe such a thing.

But combining both will still only amount to a tiny percentage. -- *24 hours in a day ... 24 beers in a case ... coincidence? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

"Andy Hall" wrote in message ... Matt, it is not for sale yet. Boy you are dumb at times. I didn't suggest buying one *now*, but will you when they become available - if they do? Say it saves 2/3 of the electricity as resistance heating. That brings it in line with current gas prices. What cost it is to buy is then important. If it is a reasonable price to buy then it has advantages of no servicing and small. It goes well with a thermal store as the company web site shows. It will also kill heat pumps stone dead, except where the heat pump is reversible for heat and cool. Even then if using an absorption cooling system, it may be viable. When gas supplies start to dwindle then this comes into its own. It is an over-unity device, if it does what they say, in that it produces more in energy output that input. Using this surplus and go through an energy state change may produce turning motion. Then vehicle applications are then in the frame. So, as electricity at point of burn is 99% efficient in the energy burnt, in actuality from generator to point of burn it is only around 1/3 efficient as 2/3 is lost in latent heat losses at the station and line losses. This unit then makes electricity 100% efficient, from tip to toe. If it is takes les than 1/3 of resistance heating, say more like 1/6, then this thing is a clear winner all around. Run the stations with natural gas, phasing down gas for districts and we will have one clean nation. Then we can concentrate on getting cars 100% electric and providing the charge cheaply, maybe using one of these devices. We shall see. |

It is not then an over unity device and is not producing more energy than is put in (which is claiming to "make" energy), it would just be getting it from somewhere else. You are right it would not be an over-unity device as our understanding would have been raised a level or two. As we understand over-unity today it would be. See through the Daily Mail tabloid tripe too. Despicable paper. As the report says, York Uni know what it is doing which is why they don't talk about it. Maybe they know more than they are letting on. , however don't exactly know how. Some Scientists, even if the thing works in front of them will disbelieve if they can't put numbers to it.

The linear motor and the Maglev train never were outside the laws of physics, they just thought they couldn't be made to work in an engineering sense. I never said it was - but he a had a great inventive track record was ridiculed in other tests. Laithwaite went into giros and the likes, and was then ridiculed. he spend years putting his experiments in to the laws - probably frigged it to satisfy them. |

He was speaking in general of our understanding of how matter, etc worked. a discovery that would set all known science aside - fails to rate even a mention on their website! Could be a non-disclosure agreement. This company did give money to York Uni for research, a Google brings that out. York uni are highly rated as well. Which is why they don't mention it, to preserve their reputation and rating. Then they give sound bites to the press. Best to look at this as if the bottle if half full rather than half empty. Have an open mind - say, nice idea now prove it to me. The man at the uni who is involved is real too. There is no bottle, you are admiring the emperor's new clothes. You can't even see the emperor, at least I see him naked. |

Some of the energy makes noise. It must be a fraction of 1% but I can usually hear them when they are switched on. The rest makes heat. Yes. I'd guess it also produces light of a non visible frequency too. I cannot see that happening :-) Still at least 99.9% efficient though. Adam |

You believe that these laws cover all explanations of matter/energy, etc. Any scientist who knows his stuff will tell you that these laws are man made and explain about 10% of matter. The top British scientist in that Swiss atom big circle pipe, only recently on TV said that. Certain 'laws' of physics have been overturned - the most famous which did this was perhaps the theory of relativity. But in practical terms it was splitting hairs.

Radio waves are produced by a transmitter which is powered by electricity. You could harness those for other purposes but would remove those waves from others use in that area. You'd also need an enormous aerial array. And the transmitting company would sue you for stealing their power and win - as has been done before. If you mean naturally occurring radio waves these are so small as to be useless to power anything. -- *Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

"Andy Hall" wrote in message ... Matt, it is not for sale yet. Boy you are dumb at times. I didn't suggest buying one *now*, but will you when they become available - if they do? Say it saves 2/3 of the electricity as resistance heating. That brings it in line with current gas prices. What cost it is to buy is then important. If it is a reasonable price to buy then it has advantages of no servicing and small. It goes well with a thermal store as the company web site shows. It will also kill heat pumps stone dead, except where the heat pump is reversible for heat and cool. Even then if using an absorption cooling system, it may be viable. When gas supplies start to dwindle then this comes into its own. It is an over-unity device, if it does what they say, in that it produces more in energy output that input. Using this surplus and go through an energy state change may produce turning motion. Then vehicle applications are then in the frame. So, as electricity at point of burn is 99% efficient in the energy burnt, in actuality from generator to point of burn it is only around 1/3 efficient as 2/3 is lost in latent heat losses at the station and line losses. This unit then makes electricity 100% efficient, from tip to toe. If it is takes les than 1/3 of resistance heating, say more like 1/6, then this thing is a clear winner all around. Run the stations with natural gas, phasing down gas for districts and we will have one clean nation. Then we can concentrate on getting cars 100% electric and providing the charge cheaply, maybe using one of these devices. We shall see. An over unity device Is that the latest euphemism? Do you have the URL for that latest cut and paste so that we can read the rest of it? |
