free energy - proffessor john searl

[Mclovin]

imagine if such tech could be replicated, governments would lose billions lol ....

thailand will become the first international country to start the development and manufacturing of the Searl Effect Technology...

Looks like some sort of magnetic perpetual motion gizmo

Nuclear energy is pretty much free. This magnet stuff is just nonsense.

May be me but I cant help but be extremely skeptical about these magic free energy solutions whenever they appear (coldwater fusion anyone)?

Not helped in the prof's case by the early 90's look web site!

i want it to be true so badly to piss of the stupid government and its stupid policy of taxing us on energy because the use of it is detrimental to made up global warming rubbish....i would love to hear their reasons for taxing us if energy was clean and abundant...

[G_T]

Very skeptical.

Also;

"The SEG is a device precisely constructed to these principles, enabling it to produce a stable and useful power output at the rate of approximately 200 watts per kilogram of the generator’s mass for the smallest unit."

Can't do the math myself but give the UKs consumption is 3.28700 × 10^14 watts per Annum.

That would suggest even if the efficiency was doubled in larger units it would still be a very large waste of time given the engineering and maintenance.

Certainly seems unlikely that the technology would save the world as the website suggests.

Does that mean Sweden's Bunny Biomass Generator is not being considered anymore then?

I'm convinced that fusion, cold or not, will eventually be a viable source of energy. Unfortunately, at the rate things are going, it probably won't be in my lifetime. I would love to see the effect it would have on the human race. Clean, cheap energy for everyone? Awesome. Although no doubt we'd have to find other things to have wars over

[erdnase]

Interesting..

said:

"The SEG is an 'open system' of energy conversion that is in accordance known thermodynamic laws;"

Good so far.. However..

said:

"The Searl Effect is based on magnetic waveforms that generates a continual motion of magnetized rollers around magnetized rings. Energy conversion while operating involves processing of random quantum fluctuations and kinetic energy within the atomic lattice into coherent currents of electron pairs formed between two-dimensional boundaries of different type materials."

..sets off my quack alarms.

Do you not reckon fusion will remain a pipedream?

It's been a long time since my physics days but it seems unlikely that it'll ever be achieved. It could just be a fundamental fact that the mass of the reactor has to equal to a star. At least that's the impression I got from Spiderman 2.

More than that we've got a fusion reacter a mere 8 light minutes away. Surely there must be a way of using that one beyond wk solar panels?

[peterperkins]

When did he become a Prof? What is he a Prof of?

Looks like total cobblers to me.

[Tangent Police]

He sounds like he needs to brush up on his definitions of "open and closed" system.

Is there a parallel universe losing energy somewhere?

It's achieved regularly. It's sustaining the reaction and getting back more energy than you have to put in that's causing a few engineering headaches.

You might want to tell the Fins that - they at about £6bn into a probably £8-10bn spend on 1 new next gen NPP.

Can't help thinking of;

It is anticipated that the Korean Daejeon reactor will be the first to hit the 1:1 ratio of energy in/energy out. My guess is 20-30 years before proof of concept for viable energy source. It's anybody's guess for commercialisation.

I just love the way they're all wearing the little embroidered badge on their white coats!

I'm aware of that.

It's more the commercial applications that I believe will remain a pipedream.

No such thing.

(I'll let people on here get away with mis-spelling and typos, but not made up units.)
