A prototype of the Jasker Power System, a device whose makers say it can provide free energy, is lit up by bulbs running from its own power source at a secret Irish location, January 11, 2002.(Paul McErlane/Reuters) Irish Inventor Cracks World's Energy Needs By Kevin Smith DUBLIN (Reuters) - It has been a pipe-dream of inventors since Leonardo da Vinci, but has the secret of free energy now been found in Ireland? A cold stone house on a wind-swept Irish hillside may seem an unlikely setting for the birthplace of such an epoch-making discovery, but it is here that an Irish inventor says he has developed a machine that will do no less than change the world. The 58-year-old electrical engineer, who lives in the Irish republic and intends -- for "security and publicity-avoidance reasons" -- to keep his identity a secret, has spent 23 years perfecting the Jasker Power System. It is an electromechanical device he says is capable of nothing less than replenishing its own energy source. click for complete story somebody get that man a pint!
I believe Homer Simpson said it best "in this house we will obey the laws of thermodynamics." And since I'm pretty sure some irish guy isn't more powerful than Homer Simpson, I'm not gonna believe this thing works until I see it in action. Also, are they saying it not only keeps itself going, but has extra energy for the lights, too. Or does it just keep itself going.
Or you could try this: <b>Utah man, 91, accused of stealing power for decades</b> Clarence Stucki is charged with stealing electricity and has admitted to tapping into a power line as far back as the 1940s LOGAN, Utah (CNN) -- A 91-year-old Utah man who authorities said drew free electricity from a nearby power line for decades faces theft charges after calling to complain about an outage. Clarence Stucki is charged with stealing about $82,000 worth of power -- but officials from Logan Light and Power said Stucki admitted tapping into the line as far back as the 1940s, so the total is likely much higher. Ron Saville, the power company's director, said Stucki has been using power for free roughly since World War II. But the statute of limitations prevents Stucki from being charged beyond seven years of theft. "He bypassed the meter for quite a bit of electrical consumption," Saville said. Authorities only discovered the illegal draw on the line after Stucki called his local utility to complain about an outage. Crews correcting the problem discovered the diverted connection on the roof of a three-apartment dwelling and a wood workshop, all of which Stucki owns. Stucki remains at his home with his wife, and the power company says it does not plan to put him in jail -- just recoup lost costs. "My personal feelings are that we've got to treat all customers alike," Saville said. "If they are guilty of committing a crime, then they should be charged." But he added: "We're not going to put the man in jail." Whoever diverted the line had "scraped the wires bare and attached the wires to bypass, and simply taped them on," said Saville. "That was a very dangerous thing to do." Touching those wires could have been fatal, Saville said. He speculated the tap went unnoticed for decades because it was on top of the home. "A meter reader wouldn't be looking up there for an illegal tap off the wires," he said.
At that point shouldn't it just kind of be like people who have a library book 63 years overdue or something. I mean technically you could charge them the $30,000 overdue fine but no one does that. I say let him slide just for being able to get away with it for 50 years.
That's funny.......all these ads about cable piracy, satellite TV fraud, and all the while this old guy is getting free electricity for 60-some-odd years. He he he he hehehehehe!!!
LAUGH ALL YOU WANT, but.... I have an idea for an electromechanical engine that creates a surplus of energy too. In fact, I've had it since high school, so my idea is probably almost 20 years old. It's a testament to my own laziness....or something....that I haven't pursued trying to realize this dream. Two scary things about my idea: 1) From the vague descriptions of this Irishman's invention, it sounds just like my idea. If you ever hear of me commiting suicide, you can bet that he had the same idea that I did (although it sounds like he hit upon it first). 2) It's so simple it's ridiculous. It's basically a modified electric motor. I really can't say anything else without giving it away, but suffice to say that it creates more electricity than it uses. One thing though...if he did have the same idea, I don't think he would have needed 23 years to perfect it. Oh well....C'est la Vie.
I am going to go out on a limb here and not believe that this electrical engineer has not broken a physical law that is world-widely observed and has not been broken for centuries.
--I am going to go out on a limb here and not believe that this electrical engineer has not broken a physical law that is world-widely observed and has not been broken for centuries. Huh? Sorry, but I'm not real clear...did you mean to use the double negative?
