Home power reactor

[Dx.]

I just heard of this guy selling Magrav power reactors, I read several things on the site that makes me believe it's HS.
I also think his explanation of the source of gravity is pure fantasy.

He's been bouncing around the Internet for a long time and he still hasn't produced anything real. Just another perpetual motion machine wearing a new dress...

You always know there's something fishy going on when the product for sale is a rendered 3D model.

[FirBirGir]

And you are making a donation not a purchase.

[Dx.]

It's a purchase with mandatory donation of 300 euros.

That device is turning mechanical force into energy, no rules of physics being reinvented or broken.

There has long been talk about using highways to generate power from the force of cars driving over them. It hasn't materialized yet.

[Dx.]

Yeah, there's even power generating public walk areas that was tested though I don't believe it made enough power to do much.

[FirBirGir]

the hydraulic road surfaces could generate power but not economically. If crude oil goes north of $100 a barrel these alternate sources are more viable, hard to say if or when that will happen since it opens the door for fracking and shale oil again.

Bio-mechanical regenerative devices have been around decades now. A counterweight, self-winding watch for one.

The problem with car powered roadways is the efficiency drop of the auto as it powers the road. The car is dropping its gas mileage to power the road.

Bottom line, there's no free lunch. What has been pursued for ages is the only way to go for any substantial energy recovery, and that is the Sun, fusion or fission. The trick is to capture it with as little environmental damage as possible.

[FirBirGir]

Depending on the tech used, it may or may not affect gas mileage. Using something like piezoelectric to convert pressure/stress to electricity would have very little impact on mileage as it doesn't require the vehicle to do more than it already does. The bellows approach would impact mileage since the process involves collapsing a chamber and forcing air out.

It's not a free lunch, it's harvesting the wasted energy of the vehicle's operation (if done properly).

Well, it all comes down to F=MA. The smaller amount of work done the smaller the energy output. But yea, as a localized energy source, it could be beneficial for someone. For example, a private/public managed section of taxed/tolled highway or the floors in a mall. And that may arise in the future. . . ways to "steal" energy from the unaware.

'Steal' as in not providing that information to the customer or the public. Imagine shopping carts with bar code scanners that don't require a checkout. But it is not made known there are generators in the wheels, making the cart almost imperceptibly harder to push. Or enter and exit ramps for covered or underground parking areas where the car's weight drops the ramps 2 or 3 inches providing the energy for lighting the parking, etc. Again, no free lunch. Imagine all sorts of 'human engineering' studies conducted on just how much inconvenience can be extracted before the customer or public is considered abused. I believe we are a couple decades away from such measures.

[FirBirGir]

If done properly, it's more about recovering otherwise wasted energy. For example, regenerative braking versus friction braking. Both achieve deceleration but one converts momentum to excess heat and mechanical wear while the other generates electricity. It's not moving energy from the left pocket to the right pocket.

Free energy free water free food. All possible but being controlled by control freaks. Beam me up. The energy roads look very promising and seemed like a possible solution when i first saw the documentary on it. Only to me it seems like another monument to our stupidity because how many roads would need to be replaced and what happened to tesla's glovebox gadget that powered his car? I think systems will be available that are compact and versatile and cheap. The only losers will be the control freaks who want to keep selling oil. With the advent of 3d printers its only a matter of time before a genius produces a replicatable model. If they can dismantle and defuse the dirty nuke plants before they blow we may have a chance at safeguarding the planet from a complete meltdown. The major players seem to be MIA. Fukashima and the gulf oil disaster are wakeup calls. This www.starseedtechnologies.com looked interesting at first glance but the pure energy systems jumped to soon on endorsing it though it could be something. I met an inventor years ago who had invented the sun diagnostic machine as well as some engines. He had a repair shop just down the road. He had made an electric car (in the 70's and 80's i think) that someone i later met had tested. I understand it worked well. His wife later took it in her divorce. The old man was almost completely blind when i met him.

Regenerative braking is a great method. There certainly are a few ways to vastly increase efficiency.

The solar powered roadways have been soundly debunked (if that's what you're referring to Grinder) The mind boggling thing is they raised over 2.1 million on Indigo-Go

Here's an electronics engineer I regularly watch. Here he totally trashes Solar Powered Roadways

That Overunity vid made me lol when the guy bounced the marker off his head in disgust.
