Re: [DML] Electric car

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxx>]

I was waiting for someone to speak up on this issue but no one has yet gotten to the
heart of the matter.

This self-recharging electric Delorean is a variation of the Permanent-Magnet
"perpetual-motion" machine that has been floating around for years. It purportedly has
an efficiency of greater than 100%, which is why it can move a heavy car yet charge it's
own batteries at the same time.

This seems to fly in the face of logic, but relativity was scoffed for many years. Are
photovoltaics "free" electricity? Perhaps not, but they were certainly used long before
Einstein won the Nobel prize for explaining HOW they work.

So, I am skeptical of these magic motors since an explanation of the physics simply
isn't there, but that doesn't mean it CAN'T work. Personally I think you can get
farther with cold fusion (insert your own Mr. Fusion joke here) but this motor design
simply will not go away.

One of the proponents of this motor has claimed to have recorded these impossible
efficiencies and published the design he used. A friend of mine has taken the design
and is attempting to reproduce the results, so we will be able to evaluate first-hand
the validity of such a claim.

If anyone is still curious, there are many sites dedicated to both promoting and
debunking these motor/generators:

Since there is no theory or science to back up these claims, a verified and reproducible
demonstration is really needed. Until then, I hope we can drop this subject.
