Car on water which instead of over 20 l/100km burns only aroun 5 liters per 100 kilometers
janp...@gmail.com
shown in television. The television crew subjected it to a simple test
to determine the saving on fuel that it accomplishes. It burns only
around 5 liters per 100 kilometers (plus around 1 liter of water),
while the car of an identical model, and year, burned on exactly the
same road and with exactly the same speeds over 20 liters per 100
kilometers.
About this kind of "cars on water" I remember to read theoretically
alteady in 1997 during my professorship in Borneo. But I never had an
opportunity to see how they compare to factory models. So with a great
interest I looked on Friday, 13 June 2008 at 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm on the
channel 3 of television New Zealand the program called "Campbell Live"
which was just about one such car constructed by two young New
Zealanders in their 20s. In this programme was also explained what the
design and operation of such a "car on water" was about. I described
this design and operation on my web page "free_energy.htm" (updated on
15 June or later) the address of which can be find if in the www.google.com
someone types the key words "Jan Pajak free_energy.htm" but without
quotes. In the program this "car on water was also subjected to an
experiment. Namely it was taken for a ride together with another
identical car of the same year and model, only that still in the
factory condition (it was probably "Ford Falcon"). Both cars drove the
same path with the same speed. After they went through 100 kilometers,
the fuel consumption was measured ion both of them by the TV crew. It
turned out that the "car on water" burned around 5 liters of petrol,
while the factory version of the same car burned over 20 liters (both
after 100 km on the road). So the saving on fuel amounted to 75% (or
three quorters) the the original (factory) fuel consumption.
The mopdification of these two boys was extremely simple. They just
added to an old car that they had a small "dissociator of water" which
they build themselves. This dissociator consumed energy from the
dynamo and dissociated water into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen was
let out, while the hydrogen was added to the air at the car's
carburattor. So this hydrogen, after entering the cylinder mixed with
the air, burned in the cylinder with the fuel and thus increased the
temperature of the burning. This raise in the temperature of burning
in turn caused the better burning of the fuel, and also the lack of
smoke in the exhaustions. So the burning become much more efficient.
The final effect was that the car consumed 75% less petrol. So the
entire saving on fuel results from this increased temperature in the
cylinder. The changes themselves were technically very simple, so that
even these two boys could complete them successfully.
Because in this program there were no details of the car, I looked in
internet at web pages of the "Campbell LIfe" to find these details.
This particular program has 2 web pages, namely www.3news.co.nz and
www.tv3.co.nz. But I could NOT find anything in there about thye car.
Therefore I described everything that I remembered from this program
on my web page. Interested readers can find it at the addresses of my
web page "free_energy.htm" update on 15 June or later. (This web page
needs to be seeked via www.google.com as there is a lot of such web
pages - not all of these are updated on 15 July 2008. To find these
one needs to type key words listed before.)
So it seems that it is worth to experiemnt with cars, as such simple
change as the "car on water" may save some of us even around $ 100 per
week.

Seems hardly credible. Cars are not that inefficient. A four-fold
improvement would push the efficiency well into the totally impossible
range.

Gee. A car like that would need a beautiful bridge to park on just to

It must be about time we had another free energy machine scam.

They're not that inefficient by comparison with their maximum
theoretical efficency as dictated by Carnot's theorem. Any modified
variation of the engine is also constrained by the same theorem. While
there is talk of increased combustion temperature, the engine would fall
apart and/or melt before any increase in temperature could give a four
fold improvement.
Sylvia.
Sylvia Else
Well, if not actually shares, they certainly had an interest in the
story being true, and would not have been motivated to examine the car
in detail to discover the nature of the fraud.
"Teens waste TV crew's time on improved fuel consumption scam" is hardly
current affairs program material - not even "Today Tonight" or "A
Current Affair" (being Aussie tabloid level CA programs) would be
interested.

Thank you for the only constructive voice in this flood of spitting
that my thread received so-far. I am really shock. I just reported on
a true accomplishement of two young New Zealand hobbyists-amateurs who
moved their bottom side to do something about the current fuel crisis,
and I got all this spitting and mud throwing. No wonder that our
civilisation is in trouble since we haver people of that knowledge and
that attitude as the ones that threw the mud via the most of above
opinions.
This is just an innocent report about a significant improvement on
fuel efficiency of an ordinary car, which everyone can confirm by
simply ordering from the channel 3 of TVNZ a DVD with that particular
program ("Campbell Life"). I am pretty sure that the TV team did a
good work in checking this improvement, and that there is NO any scam
involved. Also the improvement is extremely easy to make - two young
hobbyists from NZ did it in their garage. So almost everyone can do
it. If, by any chance, I come accross contact details of these two
young hobbyists, I will publish these details on my web page - please
just check from time the page "free_energy.htm" (by finding it in
www.google.com through typing the key words "Jan Pajak
free_energy.htm" - but without quotes, and later by checking that the
page you are viewing is the update dated either on 15 June 2008, or at
a later date). It is worth to learn about this improvement, because in
present days for many people it is able to save at least $100 per week
(while I believe that the improvement itself, if done in one's own
garage, is going to cost around $100).

I dare say. But the OP's report related to a modification to the fuel

Sylvia Else
We'd all like a 400% improvement in fuel consumption just by a modest
retrofit of our existing vehicles. Unfortunately there seem to be no end
of people willing to sell us such a system, and remarkably few (equals
zero) who can demonstrate that their system works under properly
controlled conditions.
Vehicle manufacturers have every incentive to use any economically
viable mechanism available for improving the fuel consumption of their
products. The fact that the system created by the teenagers is not
already embodied in mainstream production vehicles speaks volumes.

Jesus, it must be some tank of a car! I didn't think they built 'em
like that these days! Even my 30-year-old Tojo gives me around 21.7
litres per 100 km on *short* trips around town.
That said, there have been reports (in _New Scientist_ and/or
_Scientific American_ I forget exactly where I saw them) in the past
year or two about the possibility of building a hydrogen-fuelled car
based on something like catalytic high temperature dissociation of
water. I don't recall the alleged efficiency of the process, but the
main limiting factor to date seemed to be the practicality of
engineering for the extremely high temperatures required. Especially
in vehicles intended for use by the hoi polloi on public roads!
Cheers, Phred.

Oh, I don't know. If a production car only does 5km per litre instead of
20km per litre, it's not likely to be because the manufacturer omitted a
simple component. It's more likely to be a combination of fundamental
issues like shape, engine design and mass. If a couple of teenagers
could improve its performance 4 fold by tinkering with the fuel system,
one could reasonably hope that they could do something similar to
vehicles that have a better performance to start with.
However, I'm sure this was a scam from the beginning, assuming the TV
report even existed.

that would make the mixture burn hotter, there more more compression,
therefore more spark advance before tdc (retard?) there for more
efficiency, therefor more miles per gallon? Call the newscrew back.
They might get to .5 liter per kilometer.

This is nothing new. During WW2, spitfire pilots has a small
water reservoir that they could inject into their engine go get
a 60% boost in power to escape German fighters.
Why this is not formally experimented with is because scientists
still do not understand why this works, so no formal experiments
have been carried out.
A lot of farmers in Europe are currently converting their huge fuel
guzzler equipment to hybrid water mix. But this is all ad hoc.
No formal scientist will touch the stuff with a 10 foot pole.
André Michaud
srp...@gmail.com
I found my source, it was spitfires and F4-Corsairs.
Look for Paul Pantone, or better yet for Gillier-Pantone on the net.
You won't find any formal info on this because it is being developped
outside the formal community, like more and more stuff these days.
The gain is apparently outstanding. Farmer in Europe are converting
their
huge fuel guzzler equipment to this system as fast as they learn
about the savings that others got.
When water is superheated, the effect is identical to injecting
pure hydrogen into the mix. When highly vaporized, water
molecules become isolated like a gas and in that state, they
have the same topological characteristic as hydrogen molecules,
except that instead of both protons protruding at 180 deg, they
protrude at a lesser angle.
The actual reaction is not yet understood, but it may well be
that the molecule is not dissociated, but acts more as a
catalyst.

It's a mistake to equate increased power with increased efficiency. They
are different things. If an engine is pulling in more air it will also
be pulling in more fuel. The power goes up, but so does the fuel
consumption.

Well, I don't really have an opinion on this.
I am not interpreting what is happening one way or other.
This simply seems to work for those european farmers with
gains in fuel consumption that seem to convince other farmers
to follow suit. In my other post, I give keywords for those who
want to follow the trail. But nobody has to.
I am not trying to convince anyone. Just giving out the info I
have.

Had a look at your link. This is not the water injection I was talking
about.
Just did a google search with "spitfire corsair water engine" and
got this among other links.
If you go here for example, it is mentioned right after the 2nd
picture
http://home.att.net/~historyzone/F4U-4.html
Quote:
"Chance Vought's F4U-4 came about as a development of the
F4U-4XA, which was first flown in early April 1944. It was fitted
with an up-rated Pratt & Whitney R2800-18W or -42W engine.
This powerplant developed 2,450 bhp with water injection
Just mentioned as an aside since the link is not at all
meant to describe the process.
On strictly fuel, if I recall, this engine develops only
about 1600 bhp. And it has nothing to do with pulling
in more air and fuel as you seem to think. Without
water injection, even at mas trottle, the bhp can't
get more than 1600 bhp, or whatever close by
figure the actual limit is with only fuel.
The process has always been developed ad hoc here and
there outside the scientific community and without their
approval, ever since internal combustion engines have
been around. And still not formally recognized today.
For those interested, there is quite a bit of info about
on the net, but NOT in formal publications.

Not 60% for sure and it was more likely methanol injection IIRC.
B17s for sure DID use a little water injection. This helps cool the heated (from the turbocharger) fuel/air mixture, increasing the charge
mass into the cylinder and hence engine output.
Does nought (or little) for efficiency though.

Worth pointing out that's a methanol water mix. The methanol itself added considerable extra energy to the intake charge in its own right.
The additional cooling of the water increased the fuel/air density further (through cooling) thus increasing the charge mass even more.

Charge mass.

Yup.
It was my understanding that B17s did something similar just with the water to cool the intake mix for similar reasons, but I may be
mistaken. For this clot I can't even be bothered to look.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engines)
Water injection, also known as anti-detonant injection, is a method for cooling the combustion chambers of engines by adding water to the
incoming fuel-air mixture, allowing for greater compression ratios and largely eliminating the problem of engine knocking (detonation). This
effectively increases the octane rating of the fuel, meaning that performance gains can be obtained when used in conjunction with a
supercharger or turbocharger, altered spark ignition timing, and other modifications.

[edit]
Composition of fluid
Many water injection systems use a mixture of water and alcohol (approximately 50/50), with trace amounts of water-soluble oil. The water
provides the primary cooling effect due to its great density and high heat absorption properties. The alcohol is combustible, and also serves
as an antifreeze for the water. The purpose of the oil is to prevent corrosion of water injection and fuel system components. [1] Because the
alcohol mixed into the injection solution is often methanol (CH3OH), the system is known as methanol-water injection, or MW50. In the United
States, the system is commonly referred to as anti-detonant injection, or ADI.
[edit]
Effects
In a piston engine, the initial injection of water cools the fuel-air mixture somewhat, which increases its density and hence the amount of
mixture that enters the cylinder. But the greater effect comes later during combustion when the water takes in significant amounts of heat
energy as it converts from liquid to gas (steam). This increases piston pressure (torque), reduces peak temperature and resultant NOx
formation, and reduces the amount of heat energy absorbed into the cylinder walls. The alcohol in the mixture burns, but at a much slower rate
than gasoline. The net result is that the combustion process happens slower, preventing the destructive supersonic shockwave characteristic of
detonation.
When used in a turbine engine, the effects are similar, except that preventing detonation is not the primary goal. Water is normally injected
either at the compressor inlet or in the diffuser just before the combustion chambers. Adding water increases the mass being accelerated out of
the engine, increasing thrust, but it also serves to cool the turbines. Since temperature is normally the limiting factor in turbine engine
performance at low altitudes, the cooling effect allows the engines to be run at a higher RPM with more fuel injected and more thrust created
without overheating. [2] The drawback of the system is that injecting water quenches the flame in the combustion chambers somewhat, as there is
no way to cool the engine parts without cooling the flame accidentally. This leads to unburned fuel out the exhaust and a characteristic trail
of black smoke.
Fuel economy can be improved with water injection, although the effect on most engines with no other modification, like leaning out the
mixture, appears to be rather limited or even negligible in some cases.
Some degree of control over the water injection is important. It needs to be injected only when the engine is heavily loaded and the throttle
is wide open. Otherwise injecting water may simply drown the engine and cause it to quit.
[edit]
Use in aircraft
Water injection has been used in both reciprocating and turbine aircraft engines.
Piston engines in military aircraft utilized water injection technology prior to World War II in order to increase takeoff power. This was used
so that heavily-laden fighters could take off from shorter runways, climb faster, and quickly reach high altitudes to intercept enemy bomber
formations.
As a general rule, the fuel mixture is set at full rich on an aircraft engine when running it at a high power settings (such as during
takeoff). The extra fuel does not burn; its only purpose is to evaporate to absorb heat. This uses up more fuel, and it also decreases the
efficiency of the combustion process. By using water injection, the cooling effect of the water allows the fuel mixture to be run leaner at its
best-power setting. Many military aircraft engines of the 1940s utilized a pressure carburetor, a type of fuel metering system similar to a
throttle body injection system. In a water-injected engine, the pressure carburetor features a mechanical derichment valve which makes the
system nearly automatic. When the pilot turns on the water injection pump, water pressure moves the derichment valve to restrict fuel flow to
lean the mixture while at the same time mixing the water/methanol fluid in to the system. When the system runs out of fluid the derichment
valve shuts and cuts off the water injection system, while enrichening the fuel mixture to provide a cooling quench to prevent sudden
detonation.
Due to the cooling effect of the water, aircraft engines can run at much higher manifold pressures without overheating, creating more power.
This is the primary advantage of a water injection system when used on an aircraft engine.
The extra weight and complexity added by a water injection system was considered worthwhile for military purposes, while it is usually not
considered worthwhile for civil use. The one exception is racing aircraft, which are focused on making a tremendous amount of power for a short
time; in this case the disadvantages of a water injection system are less important.
The use of water injection in turbine engines has been limited, again, mostly to military aircraft. Many pictures are available of Boeing B-52
takeoffs which clearly show the black smoke emitted by turbine engines running with water injection. For early B-52s, water injection was seen
as a vital part of take-off procedures. For later versions of the B-52 as well as later turbine-powered bombers, the solution to the problem of
taking off heavily loaded from short runways was simply to build larger engines.
[edit]
Use in automobiles
A limited number of road vehicles with large-displacement engines from manufacturers such as Chrysler have included water injection. Saab
offered water injection for the Saab 99 Turbo. With the introduction of the intercooler the interest in water injection disappeared, but today,
water injection is also of interest because it can potentially decrease nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in exhaust. The most common use of water
injection today is vehicles with aftermarket forced induction systems such as turbochargers or superchargers, particularly those used for drag
racing and illegal street racing.

Umm, no.
Airplanes have water injection so they can run full power without
burning up the engine.
And since most airplane engines are normally running at around 75%
power, it would be difficult to get a "60% boost".

Umm, yes it is basic physics, and no it isn't to cool the fuel/air mixture.
Airplane engines with carburetors (which is just about all of them
before about 1970) have problems with the fuel/air mixture being
too cold and carburetor ice forming.
Cooling the fuel/air mixture is not a goal.
Increasing the charge mass is not a goal since an aircraft engine is
capable of sucking in a far bigger mass than it can burn without the
engine coming apart.

Nope, that's the full story.
The biggest problem with high horsepower piston aircraft engines, i.e.
anything over about 200 hp, is keeping the engine cylinder head temperature
under control without inducing huge amounts of drag.
Water injection reduces the combustion temperature and prevents the
the valves and valve seats from burning and the engine from going into
detonation at high power settings due to high temperature internal parts.
Typically the only time water injection is turned on is during take off,
which is typically the only time you run an aircraft engine at 100%
power.
With jet engines, it is used to get maximum power without melting
the engine components.

Well, I'm not going to do a critique on the particular merits (or
otherwise) of guys you refer to - I just lack the time and motivation at
the moment :)
But I do want to say that I find it disappointing (and some what
perplexing) how/why some people automatically write off anyone who try
to develop alternative systems, be that fuel or engine (or whatever).
You often see an almost Pavlovian response of open hostility to anything
not part of the established scene.
They always somehow see a scam, or see only what they want to see to
bolster their rather strange negativity over anything that doesn't
involve conventional fuel sources.
Its the same mentality that automatically wrote off the Wright brothers
- because everyone 'knew' that heavier than air flight was impossible.
Many newspapers of the day didn't even bother reporting the great event
because of the very same logic.
There are a lot of people out there doing great work, frequently under
very difficult circumstances with opposition from govt/big business.
There are dodgy people in the field, just like any other field. Give
them a wide berth, simple. I've had an interest in this area for many
years, and I'd rather keep an open mind rather than be so negative.
Conventional existing technology is not the long term answer, so the
solutions have to come from elsewhere.

from your post. I suspect is is just the hot metal/hot air phenomium on
water; aka flash boiler. Inject water onto a hot enough metal surface and
it flashes to steam, which if in a confined area can do a lot of work.
I suspect the reasons it isn't common place is that it is murder rings
and seals and long term bad for the engine block. not to mention a whole
new range of possible polltants(?)

Hardly - they already had gliders that were heavier than air.
The reason many people strongly doubt these too-good-to-be-true systems
is that there have been so many announced, and none delivered. The laws
of thermodyamics have stood the test of time. Anything that violates
them is highly suspect. This is not to say that they are necessarily
right, but no one with any understanding of the physics is going to
believe that the laws are wrong when all they have to go on is the odd
TV report, and unvalidated claims made by those who stand to profit from
the invention. So far in such situations, the hypothesis of error, or
blatant fraud, has stood up.

Nope.
Keep in mind we are talking about airplane engines not automobile engines
and read these two links before you embarass yourself further:

Err, YES.
The US has nothing to do with it.
It is basic airplane engine engineering and physics.
Why do you think airplanes have a knob labeled "Carb Heat"?
Only fuel injected airplane engines don't have this problem and fuel
injection in airplanes didn't start to become common until the 70's.
Most airplane engines under 180 hp are still carburetted.

No, but it's clearly not true that everyone 'knew', by which I assume
you mean thought they knew, that heavier than air flight was impossible,
because clearly many people new perfectly well that it was possible,
because it was being done.

Your objection appeared to be that the hostility and negativity people
display is not a rational response, but is rather an autmotic one that
is not controlled by intellect.
I'm arguing to the contrary. People are hostile and negative towards
them because every time they spend time looking at the detail, it turns
out that the proposed system violates well established physical laws,
and offers nothing by way of credible evidence that those laws are in
fact wrong. That is, time spent looking at these schemes turns out to be
time wasted.

Dear Jeßus
You are correct, a present day ICE is anywhere between something like
18%-26%. so one could be generally 20% just as you think.
They suck bad time really.
and mostly because they lose a lot of the force that fuel
could create through a short stroke for high torque sacrifice.
Most of the time, in a 4 cycle, cyl, it is also why you hear the
bang out the exaust in 4 cycles because the engine has to let
go of all that leftover boom before using it all efficiently,
because of the crankshaft limiting it's stroke length.
you might like to see
http://realspaceman.spaces.live.com
This Fluid Crank ICE super stroke should be a bit better.
and just note. the "prop" as it is called is more
like a water wheel with an angle that will make the fluid
flow the same way around the chamber all the time
to turn the generator.
It is allowing a full stroke to be used
all the way up the compression needed
to compress the other side for the next cycle to
kick it all back again.
It should get about a ten foot stroke
with the same bang that would only travel about 6 to 8 inches
or so in the old ICE designs.

I would get rid of that tojo if it uses 21.7 litres per 100 kilometres
that's 4.6 kilometres per litre

Neither the US nor the FAA have anything to do with it.
Small GA airplanes are pretty much the same the world over since
aeronautical engineering is done in math, not a national language.
> Now about REAL airplanes ?
If by "REAL" you really meant big, big airplanes pretty much switched
to turbines in the 60's since you can cool them pretty easily while
pistons are a big problem.
Before that, fuel injection was pretty much limited to the military
who could afford the cost and problems with the systems of the times,
so pretty much all airplanes had carb heat.
As for the US, had not the US invented the sodium filled valve and
the stellite ring, neither the Rolls-Royce engine nor most of Britain's
WWII aircraft would have run for more than a couple of hours.

The adding of just hydrogen to the petrol-air mixture is safe. Means
it does NOT endanger the car with uncontrolled fire due to pure oxygen
supply. Therefore such a technical solution is easy to make and safe.
It also can be completed by just two young hobbyists. In turn adding
oxygen requires extraordinary safety procautions which lie beond
capabilities of individual hobbyists. Even teams of experts, like
these from NASA, sometimes get it wrong - hence every now and again we
have space-shutle catastrophes. Anyway, your is a good comment and
thus thank you for rising this matter.
I am again shocked by the amount of negativity which appears in
comments of some "masked" individuals who seem to attack repetititvely
this thread. I am almost tempted to ask these negative individuals
whether they are "paid by oil companies" to discourage any
improvements on cars, and thus also on demand for oil. However, I do
NOT ask this because I know that the oil companies do NOT care about
such things, as they are monpolists at the moment. So the only other
reason for this negativity can be the "turning internet into a gutter"
about which I wrote on the thread
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.origins/browse_thread/thread/f43b7ee2d9d8e837/ecabc492dd893a64#ecabc492dd893a64
. So all of you, "professional dirt throwers" plase stop. There is no
scam in this thread and there is no motivation for a scam. In the
television programme that I saw, contact details were NOT provided.
Also no-one is selling the design these hobbyists are using. I would
like to contact them to find out more about their design, but I am
unable because there is no contact address available.
In turn when "1 liter/100km car" is concerned, perhaps it exists
somewhere in a big world. But most of us have "20 l/100km cars". And
the reality is that we need designs like the one used by these two
young hobbyists to turn these our monsters into reasonably inexpensive
ones.

Not to mention that even the legitimate I.Q tests are highly

'Intelligence' is no indicator of common sense, or ability to think

Einstein is generally regarded as having a high I.Q (despite never

refused to accept the validity of Quantum Mechanics, and spent the rest

IQ tests are a dime a dozen, and you can sit the same standardized test two
days in a row and score differently each time, and by wide margins.
(admittedly the tests have different questions, but measure the same
outcomes) My experience has been the truly smart people are the ones that

A gasoline ICE is about 30% efficient, and a diesel one about 45%.
Diesel also has 10-20% better energy density, though that's reflected in
diesel being 10-20% more expensive by volume, or about the same price

Contrary to claims in other messages, the lack of high-efficiency
diesels in the US is _not_ due to consumer choice but ass-backwards
environmental laws.
Gasoline engines are measured in emissions per gallon of fuel. Diesel
engines, however, are measured in emissions per mile. This means the
more efficient a diesel car gets, the higher the "emissions" it
produces, while the opposite is true for gasoline car. Most European
turbodiesel models are thus illegal in the US, despite having lower
emissions per mile than our cars.
The US was also slow in mandating low-sulfur diesel fuel, though that's
finally been done. There are now a few diesel models hitting the
mainstream again, like the Accord, but they don't seem to get any better
mileage per dollar than gasoline engines.
Another problem with American cars is our crash test standards which
make it all but impossible to make small street-legal cars. A larger,
heavier car will, of course, get worse fuel economy. Again, if the
government prevents efficient cars from reaching the market, consumers
have no option to buy them.

They're exempt from many of the US passenger car "environmental" rules
that prevent efficient diesel autos from being successful.

Callum, thanks for the moral support. I also believe that these
spitters and mud throwers act as you described - just try to show how
high IQ they have by tramping on everything that is good around them.
I am intensely trying to find these two young hobbyists, although it
is NOT easy - they simply did the improvement for themselves and never
seeked the fame or earnmings from what they accomplished. If I manage
to find them, I will try do get from them the desaign for their
modification of the car, and then I will publish this their design on
my web page "free_energy.htm" - so that everyone can benefit from it
for free. So if you intend to do this improvement, please look at my
web page "free_energy.htm" from time to time. You can find this web
page through typing in www.google.com the key words "Jan Pajak
free_energy.htm", but without quotes. When looking at this web page
please check whether it is the newest update (i.e. at least update on
18 June 2008, or later), as there are numerous such web pages
available in Internet and I am not able to update all of them at the
moment.

Physics has proved to be a very accurate predictor of what will and
won't work. The laws of thermodynamics in particular are very robust.
Many people have claimed to have made machines that violate these laws,
but none has been able to demonstrate such a machine in a controlled
environment. The absence of mass-produced free energy machines is
powerful evidence that none of these things have really worked.
So when someone purports to have produced yet another device that
violates the laws of thermodynamics, people who prefer not to waste
their time and money tend to want more evidence than just a TV report
before giving any credence at all to the claims.
If these teens had really produced what they claim, they would have no
difficulty in demonstrating it in a way that would convince sceptics,
and turn our current understanding of physics on its head. It doesn't
seem to have happened.

No. Mensa test.
