I dont know what happened to Tilley... he was in the first issue of
DCS and I was intreguied, but I must have missed everything after
that.. also heard about him on the DML. But I have to say his idea
isnt as crazy as people make it out to be.
Personaly I dont know if I perpetual motion energy system can be
created powerful enough to drive a car. But I do know you can make
power out of nothing from personal experience.
I know I'm only 20 yrs old... but I created a 12 volt system that
generates more power than it takes in... I wont go into great
detail on it, but you take a low amp motor, connect it with a belt to
a high amp altinator, which the wiring harness goes to back to the
battery which is only needed for startup, and the other goes to a
DC/AC inverter, which then can power any small electrical appliance
(little more complex, but it give the details). I have run the
system personaly for 3 weeks without stopping... running 200watts of
lightbulbs nonstop, in which case the altinator starts to burn up and
the sytem fails. I'm working on a internal power cooling system to
cool the altinator and provide mabye 2 or 3 months on non-stop power.
I know not DeLorean related... but I would be very happy to find out
what happy to Tilley... I do say that mabye his system wasnt a total
success, I cant figure out a way on paper how to get much more than
350 watts 120ac current out of my system, or any kind of
modification.... Thanks.
