    Turkish inventor, Muammer Yildiz, recently demonstrated his magnet motor that he alleged runs on the power of magnets alone at a University in the Netherlands. The motor is shown turning a fan at a high speed, and no wires can be seen going to the device; then the device is disassembled in front of the group.:pac:

    Really, a legal advisor?

    Hardly under laboratory conditions, it's not difficult to hide or camouflage a battery.

    It's a crummy act lacking entertainment, magicians are usually far more impressive.

    A Turkish "inventor" accompanied by a legal advisor, demonstrates his free energy machine at some obscure Dutch university to a group of about 30 people, and apparently the fact that it has no wires is significant...
    Very convincing indeed.

    has anyone given a cost per KWhr of the construction and maintenance of these 'free' energy devices ?

    whatever about being turkish and having his sming lawyer, delft is not obscure at all by university standards. it has a population of near twenty thousand and is the netherlands's largest technical university. produced two nobel prizes to date (physics and chemestry) and is in the top 100 unis in the world for engineering

    OP, can you post a link to a peer-reviewed science article about this, not some stupid you-tube video?

    The clue was in the title : "Orbo demonstrated".

    Interesting that you expected a peer reviewed science article to follow.

    Of course he did, the popular science forum is here

    If you come here breaking what is the most sacred law to scientists then your going to need a lot more information to back it up.

    If it is TU Delft, then it is an excellent university. That doesn't really change the fact that it is impossible to make a clever arrangement of magnets that violates conservation of energy.

    I still don't get what this is all about. Are they soliciting funding from credulous investors?

    All I can say to the op is this:

    On a serious note, "Orbo" is an absolute joke, you'd make better money marketing it as a childrens toy... of course, batteries are not included.

    More or less.

    I keep pointing out that if you want free energy solar panels are down to $2 / watt and that I can't see how orbo can beat that.

    I have a cunning plan.

    Where Orbo will be equally slated, but in words with fewer syllables.
