<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(priussoris @ Jul 31 2007, 01:22 PM) [snapback]488141[/snapback]</div> Nothing like this has ever been validated. Usually, the inventors give some excuse like "its beyond current science." Unfortunately, until one of these inventors actually comes up with something that gets validated, they have nothing. Also, IMHO, their oft excuse that the patent office will not give them a patent on the technology is poor, too. Patents do not guarantee that a device works. If their device works, IMHO, they should produce the device and sell it to the public. People would pay money for a device like this if it worked.
WOW, this reminds me of a friend of mine who in an engineering class had a girl ask the question about perpetual motion...she asked the professor, "I just dont understand why they can make a machine that just keeps going" God that was painful....uggg
It's nothing perpetual, magical or new about this, it's simply a "battery" that uses a rotating flywheel to store energy instead of chemical bonds between atoms. The energy still comes from a wall outlet or other traditional source. The concept has been tried and tested before, there is an article on Green Car Congress that talks about how it could be useful in a hybrid car. Because a flywheel can capture energy much faster than a battery, it can 'recharge' quickly, allowing more energy from braking to be captured and more power to be drawn when accelerating rapidly. The downside: to hold a lot of energy would require a very large and heavy flywheel spinning at an incredible speed.
