ah but let's not be hasty, gentlemen---let's beta test it, first:
we equip a chimpanzee flamethrower battalion
put a communist or a scientologist or a pope or something in charge of it--secular humanist--atheist-=-SOME kinda religion
way out in the middle of a desert or jungle somewhere
let them do whatever they want
and see what happens
oh that's right--that's already been done:
(forbidden) planet earth
hey, you guys, i'm not a very moral person
if even one of them chimp fukkers (in the experiment) survive
i might actually be able to justify marketing it (or giving it away) to children (like the human race) "Spaceballs the flame thrower...yer kids'll LOVE it!"

and isn't that because he would trash his invention if he didn't get a king's ransom? I won't dispute it was worth it but honestly if he gave it away he would inherit a world with a much higher standard of living and no smog.
If it is controlled they will build power stations where they use the technology to drive alternators and still sell you power for all the traffic will bear. It is a result of our antiquated business models. We don't see the golden payoff of free energy.
Not knowing is not the problem. It is the knowing of what just isn't so.
It is our responsibilities, not ourselves,that we should take seriously.
Yes! Bessler was a winner in lots of ways, what would we give to see inside his wheel? but he lost out to Newton, and the steam engine, and did not get enough funds to live out his life in comfort, if someone paid his price he would not have fallen off the wind mill!
I was being cynical, not like me I know!
With respect, Trevor
Ever seen pictures of the smog in Shanghai? coal fired steam turbine electric generation generates a lot of smog. We definitely and desperately need an alternative NOW. To invent an answer to this and hide it sniffing for the biggest piece of cheese is to spit in the face of humanity. It is the common wisdom though, our current businesss model.

free energy is a paradigm shaker way beyond current programs and pogroms. Open the window and turn on the heat. Go for a drive for entertainment.
No need for the cut throat business practices.

what a nightmare that'd be---two dead guys...(syd and richard)--screaming flying pigs--marching nazi hammers...drunken zen bigfoots

yes--the thread was already beat to death two pages before i came in
and has been beat to death in at least ten other threads with the same theme
and people coming an and offering nothing more than criticisms of other people's posts IS trollery
I, however, took his ideas seriously--and have been trying to make the point, (that no-one else, much, has explored): that, even if we get unlimited energy,
that would bring the same problems the people, (THE KRELL), in FORBIDDEN PLANET, encountered, when THEY developed unlimited energy
i guess you woulda had to have seen the movie
since it came out in 1954, and was the first color science fiction movie,
and deals with a society that developes unlimited energy...
i assumed most here had
if not, i highly recommend it:
one of the best ever--a classic
and completely applicable and relevant to this thread
(actually based on Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST--so this point i'm making was already pondered hundreds of years ago)
