Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device 563
The Star reports on this inventor breaking all the laws of physics as far as free energy goes. It even provoked interest from "esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Markus Zahn". I would like to know how this seemingly backyard enthusiast's experimental set up has not been tried a million times over the years. It seems so simple and too good to be true. The article has links to a multi-part video demo of the device accelerating an electric motor under load for free!

P.S. If you must try this, make sure the cat is declawed.

I think, you shouldn't, use so, many commas, as it, makes it hard to, understand what you're, saying.
Yes, I think, you, are right, I, am starting, now at exactly this point in time to shift my role model from william shatner to james joyce that should work out ok what do you think yes that feels much better

One unfortunate side-effect is that in the mean time his symphonies begin disappearing. When pressed for an answer, Professor Zahn explains "Well of course. He's decomposing."

CD-Player plays Britney Spears songs over and over. Beethoven spins in his grave providing mechanical energy to generator.
You know your music really sucks when even deaf composers spin in their grave because of it.

I mean no offense; your comma usage is really the only thing wrong with your posts.
That's totally cool. If the only thing that's wrong with my English is my punctuation then that's actually quite flattering.
(This post contains intentionally no commas. But I'm sure there should be some)

"Scientists" (Score:2, Funny)
Unfortunately mainstream scientists look down on this sort of research even though it would solve all our energy problems. There are lots of parapsychotic researchers but scientists refuse to listen to what they say. Millions of people can't be wrong. Why are "scientists" so closed-minded to ideas? They laughed at Einstein, you know! And he turned out to be right, which proves that all crazy ideas are right or at least worth spending $millions on just in case.

Positive Feedback (Score:2, Funny)
INPB (I'm no physicist but) it looks like a simple positive feedback loop to me. Positive feedback happens all over the place. Audio feedback is the most widely noticed - a sound goes into a microphone, microphone is connected to an amplifier, the amplified sound is picked up by the microphone and repeats until it quickly becomes an awesome screech.
I see no logical reason why a positive feedback loop couldn't exist in an electro-magnetic system and no reason why one would have to be in the violation of any physical law. As hinted at above, the problem is that positive feedback loops are usually unstable and are halted by some part of the loop breaking down or reaching capacity - like the inability of the amplifier to produce a louder sound - or the amp just blowing out. On the other hand, positive feedback used in controlled doses can be a very powerful tool, as in Jimi's version of the National Anthem. It seems to me like this could have the equivalent effect on electric cars.
Therefore, I think the first car using this engine should be called the "Hendrix". Honda, Toyota, are you listening? I demand royalties!

OK, but sarcasm aside, there is a tendency among those who teach science to put the Known Laws on an unassailable pedestal... largely in reaction to the rebellious students who refuse to believe anything they say.
