Free Energy from Tesla Generator

Has anyone investigated this? Sounds pretty suspicious.

I looked at the video a while back, as well as some youtube clips.

From what I'm seeing, it looks like a good idea if you want to build an antenna in your back yard to charge a cell phone.

I'm going to build one big enough to generate Brown's gas and strap it to the roof of my pickup. Then when all you chumps are paying $5.00USD for a gallon of gas, I'll be rich.

Stay tuned! LynDoor™ Industries will be making an announcement that will change the world forever. We'll mount them on barges and use wind levers to make them whoosh through the air to generate even more free power.

Re: Free Energy from Tesla Generator

I saw one of his demonstrations some years ago in Bismark ND. He was showing his big generator off at that one claiming it put out 30+ KW's while being driven by a common 20Hp motor. I volunteered to read the meters on it to verify it when he asked.

Well yes the generator was in fact putting out 30+ Kw while being driven by a 20Hp electric motor but I noticed that when the load was turned on the motor RPM's seriously dropped. The whole demonstration took less than 2 minutes from when it started until when it was shut off. On my way back to my seat I reached down and touched the motor. It was already very warm from a two minute run.

He also had it powered off of a rented 60 KW gen set outside even though the auditorium where the demonstrations where being held had 240 volt 3 phase 50 amp outlets right beside where he was set up. Seemed pretty suspicious to me that a dedicated 240 volt 50 amp three phase circuit could not support a supposed 15 Kw motor load.

Oh right, you mean a MEG?

Here's Tom Bearden's version:

"The Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG)

Has produced up to 100 times more power than was input, by extracting free energy from the vacuum. The MEG has been independently constructed, and its overunity performance independently replicated, by other researchers. US Patent awarded March 26, 2002. Invented by Tom Bearden and four colleagues."

I'm curious why all these hoax websites seem to use the same web designer?

They are all very colorful and devoid of facts.

Come on, if this junk really worked, someone would be producing it commercially.

Where can I get one to run my house and why aren't they generating power around the planet?

Do you have any relevant links showing these in practical use?

I would like nothing better than to see proof that one of these things works.

There have probably been 100 threads on here about these that have gone exactly nowhere. Can you give us something besides a picture?

Maybe there's something to this conspiracy thing. Maybe there is a reason big brother isn't allowing them to propagate.

Just think, if everyone had one we wouldn't need all those pesky wires out there.

Copper prices would fall, businesses would collapse, politicians would loose a significant source of bribes PAC money and only a few joe fordhams and krypeskies would control all the wealth of the world.

Third world countries would flourish, no stop, I can't go on...........................

Oh no!!!!!!

We're all being powered with over unity machines and they're not telling us the truth because they don't want to lower our bills?

I wonder if all of our vehicles are actually running on water that's had gas smell added to it to fool us too.

I think you're onto something.

It's a smaller world than when GM squashed the trolley's in LA so they could sell buses

there would be a leak of the proprietary bits & BP or some other energy company would want to reduce their costs too.

with reduced energy costs there are plenty of other things to sell.

the market for copper would still be huge, as you would still need to connect to the big all electric climate control devices, incandescent light bulbs & electric car charging stations :D

Put a million monkeys in front of keyboards, and maybe, just maybe you will get a feasible idea.

I've always been a fan of speed bumps that generate electricity, myself.

Why whole highways arent producing power....nobody/organization has taken the time and effort to see this absolutely interesting idea to completion..The know it alls will continue to pooh pooh any notion outside of their immediate aegis regardless of how broad their spectra of thought may be..if it is outside it must be ...well. stupid and hence a target of ridicule...Personally i think these crazy ideas will eventually win the day...Regards...martywolfof redbay

Well with thousands of miles of highway with forward rolling mass almost like a river one would think that somehow a device that takes advantage of that mass moving forward with contact only to the road surface and the air (hopefully as discrete pacts of moving energy..collisions impede the thought) could be deployed to take advantage..Millions of pizo's...yes millions tilted to an angle against the forward momentum of the tires(mass impact zone at speed) buried under neath a flexibile surface(perhaps in strips of 2-3 feet width) could be a continuous source of when summed up much electrical power convertable at intervals by appropriate converting technology of which i know nothing about except its a science that works..regards..mwofredbay

Maybe it's not too late for you to get in on that GE dreamers contest.

The entire infrastructure of the country is literally falling down around us and you want to build highways that will cost $100,000,000.00USD per mile to build and maintain and that doesn't include the transmission system at another 50-100 billion to put in place.

Get real.

Well $100 X 10 to the 6th is a large #...but just a number..and as money is an imaginary concept but accepted as a means of trade if the societal power need becomes,well critical,then that large number becomes specious...

Its not a question of getting real but of thinking first about the possibility and then tackleing the possibilty..and i suspect with the creativity available in humanity both as individuals and as a group it could be done.

Well to play the Devils advocate on the free energy concept all energy is free.

Its those dam collection and conversion processes that make it suit our wants and needs that puts the costs on it.

Wind is free but the wind turbine is not. Solar is free but the panels are not. Oil is free but the getting it collected and processed into some thing usable is not.

No.i pay for my fuel largely taxes of course,and my auto insurance,also increasingly tax burdened,and my property taxes,generally on a rising vector ..etc...Money as i said works but i still say ,much like mathematics,it has no inherant value outside of the civilization accepted validity of what both can do..Money exchanged for service/product etc..mathematics to get close to reality as it is and enabling the production of trustable structure /curves to make insurance and reinsurance possible /sliding payscale(the top ends of these,pay scales being at this time obscene with no end in sight )etc etc..but in this instance,utilizing the forward momentum of a large mass traversing a surface to which 4,3,2 or even 1 portion of that forward moving object is transmitting energetic force even for a split second at any point in time(a good case for slower speed limits as the intimate contact time would be increased with no loss in the vector of energy being transmitted to the say pizoelectric strips incorporated in the ribbon of asphalt(concrete would likely prove too inflexible but who knows at this point)and that split second of contact followed and preceded by a veritable river of contact/release/contact...well actually contiunuous contact while moving forward so speed limiting is specious and i withdraw that thought..And yes we are verbal cowboys and it is fun to participate at last again..

Martin 1st off use {p} with [] brackets for carriage return[line breaks] it will make your posts easier to read.

you seem to have this notion many members are against progress & or new ideas

far from it.

Actually no i'm not against the criticism so freely distributed on all sites,not just this one, because a solid idea will win out regardless if the criticisms seem to be evercoming..reminds me of grad school actually..no,no,no,well,no no,no,perhaps etc..

Over all i still feel the idea has serious merit the more i ponder on it..rolling mass,contacting surface in a forward direction,pressure effects summed up over time equals a great deal of energy potential on a predictable basis in a spot or a ribbon or a whole system as time passes..small energies over time,small energies over space ..even we are made of small energies unbelievably co-ordinated into each unique me...thats the nature of nature..or am i off track...actually next time i'm in contact with a civil/electrical engineering faculty i'll try and run it by them...mw

Welcome aboard martin. I tend to agree with you. One or more of these crazy ideas may just well be platform for something that really takes off. In the meantime, this is a fun place to watch the ones that won't work get ripped to shreds.

None of the crazy people here are against crazy ideas. Just people with crazy ideas that swear they work, that offer absolutely nothing in the way of proof. That gets a little old.

We get a lot of, "I know how to save the planet and I can't tell you how", threads.

Crazy ideas are great. And this is the place to discuss them. The only thing that ruins it, is when the originators of the crazy ideas get their feelings hurt when challenging questions and comments start rolling in.

This is the first place I would come to post one of my ideas. I am also prepared to have it blown out of the water.............if it happens fast, all I can say is, "Thanks".

Yes, I investigated it and found nothing suspicious. Just note the closing line "Send $47 for the blueprints". If he can get 100 suckers (customers) per week, he makes a fairly nice tax-free income. COME ON, you know he's going to report any income, right?

I'm still waiting for a real trial of the different hypotheses of how the Great Pyramid was built. If we can have medical studies and trials that last a dozen years or more, surely we can get enough people out of the 6 billion or so on the planet to participate in such a marathon! What's a generation or two for such a grand experiment! The manpower isn't lacking. There are millions of people around the world that are starving and would be willing to be paid to build a pyramid. Also, as a society that has fallen in love with Reality TV, it could all be televised, with competing teams. Or have we run out of enough rocks to do this sort of experiment?? (I know, some of the leading theories depend on the Nile rising and ebbing enough to do it, but not all theories require this... I don't think?)
