Just appeared on Kickstarter, VORTEX- unlimited sustainable energy.

NB: Strictly for amusement purposes only, this is not an encouragement to give these guys money.

"We have already invested more than € 500.000,00 in research and in the patent through our own work, equity and small investors."

Wow. Especially if true.

If they value their time at EUR 1000/hour, which I'm sure they do since geniuses aren't cheap, and they filed in the US where you can patent anything, then it's quite possible.

Another case for THE RECTIFIER!

EDIT: trying to make it start at 6:31

EDITS 2 through 13: FFS. Just skip to 6:31.

ROFL.

If it stopped at about 6:50 I'd be forwarding it to some conspiracy-theorist friends who'd swallow it hook, line, sinker, and half the skiff the fisherman is sitting in.

Read the vortex rewards a bit more carefully. Rewards start at EUR100 and you get a branded sticker and biro! Through to EUR8500 for a bunch of branded tat and you get your name on a machine!

Good rewards in the lies and flim flam game!

Geekzone had its own perpetual motion machine in the Outram Otago thread. Sadly Chorus had to improve broadband in the area so the cycle was broken.

These perpetual motion energy creator things appear on KS every so often.

Having backed the first one and got it running successfully, I no longer back them. ;) But I need some way to stop the arcing and lightning bolts.

Did someone repeal the Laws of Thermodynamics while we were in lockdown?

Reminds me of something from Silicon Chip recently:

If we take two metal kettles and connect one to the anode of a battery and the other to the cathode, boil both kettles over a gas flame and combine the steam, would the ensuing thunderstorm kill all the flies in the room?
