Free Energy in the USA

Now here is a project that is being funded by local governments.

www.genesisworldenergy.org

It's amazing the crap that people can get the gov't to pay for.

Oi, this is a load of crap! Snips from their "technical" description:

Quote:
The amount of water used to generate hydrogen and oxygen gases from this process are negligible, usually only a few ounces of water a day,
Hey, not only can they reverse entrophy, but they can get a lot of material out of a little material! Cool!

Quote:
The residential model is capable of producing up to 30 total kilowatts of combined gas and electrical power per day (a typical home uses between five to six kilowatts), and the commercial model can generate up to 100 total kilowatts of energy.
Uhhm, hate to tell you this folks, but kilowatts is not a measure of energy.

Or what about this (in the business section):
Quote:
Each Edison Device is designed to operate only within the borders of the sovereign nation in which it was originally assembled and sold. Moving the Edison Device beyond its intended area of licensed operation will render it immediately and permanently useless.
That technology alone should sell for a fortune in other kinds of business!

Yes, and the gov't would surely want to implement this particular tech to the military techs.

The RIAA and MPAA would kill for that technology.

Those are strong words for someone living in Ashcroft's America.

However, previously it had not been possible to break water down into its molecular state in practical terms from an energy consumption standpoint. The process consumed more energy than could be extracted from the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases. As an example, 1000 watts of energy would be consumed to break water down to its molecular state and only 900 watts of usable gas energy would be yielded from the process.

[snip]

In order to make Genesis viable, the team needed to develop the ability to breakdown any type of water into its basic molecular state, using a small amount of space and consuming far less energy than could be realized as a result of the process.
Isn't water always in its basic molecular state? Are the 400 anonymous visionaries trying to describe the process of breaking down water into its two atomic components?

Even if investors had absolutely no understanding of science at all, why would they send money to a technology company that refuses to patent any part of this world-changing device?

Water is "ash," already the combustion product of hydrogen and oxygen. We may as well try to convert carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen to get "free fuel," it's the same thing.
