Hi, I've been on the list for a couple months now, reading happily, but have yet to post anything. So first, hi everyone:-). Internet scams or jokes are among my favorites, just because sometimes they're so funny and sometimes they're just so clever. I have to admit that this is pretty clever. First, there is reference to a US Patent application on their website. After do a little searching, I found a patent (granted) as described by them. US Patent number 6,630,806 viewable at: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,630,806.WKU.&OS=PN/6,630,806&RS=PN/6,630,806
(Here one can note the inefficiency of the US patent office, since the website address includes the patent number 3 times, where one time would have sufficed). However, the patent is not for an unlimited energy machine, but rather "[t]he present invention is aimed at providing an improved rotary device which operates with improved efficiency compared to conventional rotary devices." So it seems they just invented a smoother motor, perhaps. Basically their claim says that they will extract the stored energy from perminant magnets. I invite those who believe that claim to read: http://phact.org/e/z/freewire.htm The most important point is: Point 1. Under ideal conditions the electrical power output generated when you move a conductor through a magnetic field is exactly equal to the mechanical power input needed to move the conductor. A more complete debunking can be found here: http://www.phact.org/e/z/lutec.pdf So if you happen to be someone who's looking to invest in green projects, don't give these people a cent (or whatever the lowest value of your own currency may be). Just one quote from the second debunking article which I find really good: "Where do the inventors think the energy is coming from? Their response to this article claims that a permanent magnet holding up a heavy iron object for a long time is doing work, ie supplying energy. We point out that the formula for work is the force acting multiplied by the distance moved, thus zero movement gives zero energy." Ok, I hope that wasn't all too long. Have a nice day everyone, -Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.

This device can furnish the all the electricity needed by the average home and runs on battery power. It produces 15 times more energy than it uses from the battery input. It's installed in the home where it's to be used. See their website at: www.lutec.com.au It appears to be the real deal. Let's hope it is. Peace and light, D. Mindock P.S. It is interesting that the Australian government would not provide any startup help whatsoever. Let's hope nothing stops the release of this new technology. It does seem that every time something like this comes along it is trashed by vested powers. It is not hard to imagine this technology powering cars and trucks, producing zero pollution and unlimited mileage. > _______________________________________________ > Biofuel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel > > Biofuel at Journey to Forever: > http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html > > Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): > http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
