Over Unity is No Longer Disputable

It's a common claim that "they laughed at [insert famous name here]", but in reality they didn't. I can't think of a single person who was laughed at that didn't thoroughly deserve it. Ignored, yes. Laughed at, no.

Well, excuse me for injecting some facts into this forum†, but if you need documentation, we need look no further than George and Ira Gershwin:

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they said that man could fly
They told Marconi wireless was a phony, it's the same old cry

But seriously, weren't there people who laughed at the Wright brothers? Weren't there people riding horses who laughed at the idea that the horseless carriage would ever catch on?

My point is, that this device is real, as are many others. The only real thing that keeps us from free energy is skepticism. I think that is about to change very soon. Either jump on the wagon now, or look real dumb later.

So, does he want me to be a leader...or follow the leader? I'm confused.
 
And it's been July 5th in the UK for quite a few hours now. Have they shown us anything yet?

No?

Okay, we'll just wait like good little sheeple, then, won't we, g4?
 
UPDATE! ( http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/news.nv?storyid=single8723 )

The heat is on Orbo

05.07.2007 - Last night at 11pm, a device by Irish technology company Steorn that claims to create energy out of thin air, failed to make its first public appearance, as promised, live on the internet.

As members of the public milled around outside the Kinetica museum, and many others logged on to the webcam last night, it was revealed that the hypothetical perpetual motion machine fell victim to the laws of physics and failed to continuously power the rotating outer wheel.

The intense spotlights surrounding the perspex case in which Orbo is enclosed have been cited as a possible reason for its malfunction, although engineers are still investigating.

“The display case itself is under a lot of lighting, it’s very hot. We think we’ve destroyed one of the bearings on the system, it’s not the technology itself,” said CEO of Steorn, Sean McCarthy, speaking to SiliconRepublic.

Steorn say that the intense heat should not affect future applications of the Orbo technology as this is just a prototype. The prototype was set up in the museum on Sunday and as of Tuesday night, McCarthy said it was functioning perfectly until yesterday when it froze suddenly.

The Orbo free energy device is no longer on display in the Kinetica Museum in London. Engineers are testing it off site, said McCarthy , who is currently looking at the machine with his engineering team, trying to assess specifically what happened, and if it is permanently damaged.

The four webcams focused on Orbo will still go live later this afternoon, to ensure complete transparency to the public, said McCarthy, but Orbo will not be present.

“We did break the barings when we were installing it, but it looks to us almost certainly that it is probably the intense heat from spotlights that were only installed yesterday afternoon,” said McCarthy.

To remedy this, McCarthy said: “We could put fans all around but then we’re pushing air across the wheel,” which would attract the same amount of suspicion as hidden batteries.

McCarthy is hopeful that the Orbo will be functioning for public viewing soon.

“I’m standing beside a couple of engineers who are staring into it right now,” he said.

Surprise, surprise... somehow the device doesn't work... :rolleyes:

I think he wants you to follow him while he pretends to be a leader while following these charlattans. In turn, you can pretend to be a leader and get other people to follow you. It's like a giant pyramid scheme of self-congratulatory delusion.

Are they still trying to assess 'specifically' what happened? Isn't it obvious? The laws of nature damaged the machine.
It's that damn friction I've been talking about for so long. If we could just get rid of it....somehow....Oh wait, maybe it's the intense heat. Yeah the heat. uh ha...if we could just get everything to the absolute zero temperature....somehow.....

Oh, I see. I didn't know I was in Soviet Russia. Let me just toss away my skepticsm and critical thinking and believe. I'll be the best leader and follow the crowd of believers.

Wrong model. In his mind, g4macdad doesn't live in Stalingrad, he lives in Jonestown. It's not enough to obey, you have to want to drink the koolaid.

I'll bet you it only works for a spherical machine in a vacuum!
