Although at first it is likely to be ridiculed by most
scientists and engineers, it seems to me likely that in time
Minato's achievement will be widely accepted.

Goddamn right.  I'm glad to see that old story come around again. It's always worth some ridicule and a chuckle.

This bullshit is at least five years old now. If the guy would allow inspection, you'd probably find a Stirling Engine under the hood.

it makes me laugh a bit too, or maybe makes me cry that people actually believe this shite. There is 41M up for grabs for whoever demonstrats a working model, no if's no but's. So why hasn't it been claimed?

"She then moves us to the next device, a weighty machine connected to a tiny battery. Apparently the load on the machine is a 35kg rotor, which could easily be used in a washing machine. After she flicks the switch, the huge rotor spins at over 1,500 rpms effortlessly and silently. Meters show the power in and power out. Suddenly, a power source of 16 watt or so is driving a device that should be drawing at least 200 to 300 watts."

So can someone explain to me why there is a need for a battery? Why not just hook it up to an alternator, tap off 16W for the stator (or whater it's used for) and then you have 250W - quite a reasonable amount of power - for anything else you'd like.

It's bollocks!
