A Free Energy Claim in the News?

[Bamobrien]

Hi, I've been a long time lurker here on the boards and when i ran across this link here:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060818/bs_afp/irelandscienceenergy

on the very front page of Yahoo! News I thought to myself "well better fire up the JREF forums and see what the evidence really indicates" but surprised there wasnt a thread yet.

So anyone know what the real deal is here and/or which "credible physicists" have been challenged or have already look at it?

sorry for the x's in the link...the board wouldnt let me post a link without the obligatory 15 posts. i hope haven't broken a rule trying to get around the requirement

This thread (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?p=1857552#post1857552) in the "Science,..." section deals with it.

:welcome5 :)

I've been a longtime lurker too, and it was the audactity of this pitch that finally got me to register on these forums... skeptical minds think alike!

Hi and welcome to both of you. The only perpetual motion yet demonstrated is the motion of clear thinkers and truly inquiring minds toward places like JREF where facts rule.
