I think any faint hope of them actually cracking it has disappeared in this case. Perhaps they’re planning on selling expensive paperweights at the end of the year??

You’re right with the name thing, it’s not that funny, I suppose Paddy O’Reily would have been more Irish!!
As for the product itself…..I agree also that they probably do believe in their invention, so lets hope they get it to work!!
Watch this space eh?

I agree, I think they are deceiving themselves, I don’t think they are trying to trick anyone else. The think with all free energy devices is ruling out all possible sources of additional energy. What tends to happen is that people think they are getting extra free energy above what they are putting in, but they are simply failing to take into account some other source of energy.

Of all the pseudo-science that I would love to be true this sort of thing has to be right at the top of my list. But damn those laws of thermodynamics and their whole “no free lunch” mentality.

A small part of me still wanted them to be onto something. I kinda get the impression that they’re probably a bunch of blokes who’ve stumbled across a magnetic effect but haven’t quite got the scientific know-how/background to understand why it won’t do what they think it should do.

I don’t think they are intentional deceiving people with this, but I do think that they’re perhaps deceiving themselves. It actually seems to me that they genuinely believe they’re onto something (despite being told otherwise by the panel they appointed).

Either that or it’s just all a clever ruse to keep themselves funded and in a job.

I actually heard about this a week or so back, I meant to mention it to you but completely forgot.

This is pretty much how all free energy device claims work. They get shown they are wrong and then they start with the special pleading in an attempt to convince people that they do actually work after all.

They also like to by pass the scientific process, go straight to the media rather than going through the correct peer review channels. Big red flag that you are dealing with pseudo-science.
