Interesting video. How many great ideas, inventions, and advancements for the human race are held back for pure greed?
Free Energy Inventions

- Start date
I'd have to see to believe... Conservation of matter and energy is an actual thing and there's been a TON of folks hyping a perpetual motion machine over the centuries.
We are still waiting for one.
When folks start telling me about one secret the <insert evil mainstream organization here> doesn't want you to know about. And how THEY are holding everything back, color me skeptical.
Does big business buy things up and keep the patents secret? Absolutely. And that's why the scam works, but the above looks like scamming 101 to me... Just send me <insert money amount here> and we'll send you this amazing machine that's going to change the world.
The only thing missing is the Nigerian finance minister offering to put money in your account.

How are you constantly duped by the dumbest shit. Would you take an iq test if I set one up and paid for it?

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.
1. 100 billion kWh of electricity are wasted on transmission losses each year in the US alone. That's equivalent to 3 of our largest nuclear reactors running 24/7. Superconductivity enables lossless electricity transmission at high voltages and currents.
2. According to the authors, the LK-99 material can be prepared in about 34 hrs with extremely basic lab equipment (a mortar & pestle, basic vacuum, and furnace). These results could replicate within days-weeks.
3. Nuclear fusion reactors rely on superconductors for plasma confinement. Modern designs use RBCO/YBCO superconductors cooled with LN2 or Liquid He, creating a huge temperature gradient and challenging operation. Ambient superconductors enable a whole host of new reactor designs
4. Quantum computers use superconductors to preserve coherence in qubits. Small changes in temperature and pressure can cause the entire QC to fail during operation. Imagine a room temperature quantum computer on your desktop - now possible.
5. Superconductors might be the best batteries out there. Simply inject a current and keep it in the coil until you need it. Previously, too costly to maintain. Now, totally feasible.
6. Your iPhone won't overheat when playing subway surfer with a youtube video in the corner anymore! Ultra-efficient computer chips will have 0 resistive losses during operation with superconductors. No need for cooling fans!!
7. And, the common ones: super-cheap MRI machines, MagLev trains everywhere, and a super efficient electric grid. Basically, this:
8/8 I cannot contain my excitement. It feels like January of 2020 with a huge wave coming that no one realizes yet, but in a much better way. What a time to be alive!! Check out the original paper:
The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure SuperconductorFor the first time in the world, we succeeded in synthesizing the room-temperature superconductor ($T_c \ge 400$ K, 127$^\circ$C) working at ambient pressure with a modified lead-apatite (LK-99) struc…https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008
addendum: a lot of my @PrincetonPhys friends are convinced this is pretty legit, and I am too. Like, Fig 4 is a pretty good sign that (and was nowhere to be found in the previous Dias et. al fiasco). Hopes are up.
Love me some Why Files!!!!!! Wife and I look forward to AJ’s videos every week.
I've no doubt that companies buy up patents and hide them to keep the products they sell selling. I remember all the articles from back in the day about fancy fuel injection/carbs that would allow for 40+ mpg. They all got bought up by oil companies and buried. Hell, your Lord and Savior did the same thing when he was running for President back in 2016. He got the National Enquirer to buy up the negative stories about him from the folks that knew about them with an agreement that the National Enquirer had exclusive rights to the story. Then they just didn't publish it. Catch and Kill is what they called it. Nothing illegal about it.
I'm a big believer in Capitalism, but Capitalism is far from perfect and this is one of the nastier aspects of it.
BUT AGAIN, you can color me skeptical when folks start talking about "free energy". It's right up there with "Try this one trick that the <insert name here> industry doesn't want you to know about".

Someone also watches too much YouTube. But it at least it seems like you’ve figured out this is a scam
Still willing to get you tested Growls. You name the place and time.
Well, I'm always watching to see what's out there.
For someone that doesn't understand basic science, fusion can look exactly like this sort of thing... ie free energy. But of course it's not.
For instance, one of the great hopes is for a water engine... ie an engine that breaks water down into oxygen and hydrogen and burns them for energy. That SEEMS possible as there's a ton of water on the planet and you can certainly burn hydrogen for energy (with oxygen). But so far the cost of breaking down the water into its components has always FAR outweighed the energy you get back.
But some of this crap out there simply shows how ignorant lots of Americans are about basic scientific concepts. My personal favorite was COVID being spread by G5 cell networks. Yep, people actually BELIEVED that a pathogen could actually be spread by cell phone towers. That's Star Trek stuff right there and even a basic understanding of our current state of technology would let anyone know what a load of crap that is.

Why? Just why???
It’s shit like this that causes every thread to turn into a complete shit show. Totally unnecessary for you to bring Trump into your post.
(Sigh) but …. anywhooooooo. Yup, agreed on the “free energy” part of your post, but I remember back in the 80’s and 90’s the Honda CRX? CVX …. It was a Civic Hatchback looking thing got like 40 miles to the gallon, same with the Geo Metro and Ford Escort. It was better MPG than what “Hybrids” get today.
It's hard for me not to... even though I know you are right. The folks on here will talk about how bad it is to do something like buy up the patents so no one can use them and then go all in on a guy that does the exact same thing.
And yep 100% on the fuel efficient cars from the 80s an d90s. The problem is that they DO come with tradeoffs... usually performance, features and weight (which can often translate into safety). When oil is trading below $25 a barrel, no one gives a shit about mpg... But when gas prices get high enough, everyone likes it. Those cars, back in the day, failed because everyone loved the heavy, large SUV type cars that got < 20 mpg and looked and performed well.
I owned a Geo Metro in college. That car was awesome, 3 cylinders and could barely hit 85 mph downhill. I had to turn off the AC to climb a hill. The flip side is I got almost 50 mpg and it was awesome for pizza delivery.
I had a few CRXs in the 90’s. Freshman year at North Greenville ‘94, there was a gas station between there and Clemson that had gas around .89/gal average that time was.99. I could put $5 in that thing on the way to or from CU and drive for a week. $3-4 could get me home to the Pee Dee. I guarantee it got 45+ miles. That was the basic cheap economy 4 cylinder version but even the V-Tec CRXs got high 30s
I watched it
Like I said earlier, The Why Files is my favorite YouTube channel. He does such a great job with his videos.
He really does. Top notch comedy too.I watched it
