The Green Optimistic

San Jose’s West Coast Green conference from last week had a point of attraction: the world’s first fuel-less car, made by Magnetic Air Car. They even say it will be produced beginning with 2010.

I am dealing with true inventions every day. I am also seeing a lot of hoaxes in my daily quest to alternative energy. I have learned that energy is not free, perpetual motion machines do not exist, everything is taken from somewhere and put elsewhere. There also is this so-called “free energy”, the zero-point energy, proven mathematically by many scientists. My duty as a green optimistic is to collect everything I see someone has struggled explaining and demonstrating, put it in one place and let the people see and comment.

Joe Newman claims for a long time he has succeeded to make a free energy device by using magnets. A lot of people hate him, including high officials and oil company owners. See and decide for yourself if there’s a glimpse of truth in his claims, as presented in some TV documentaries.

This project, developed in Budapest, Hungary is a free magnetic energy generator and it’s ready for sale, as the video says. They have done this project in the past 19 years with extensive scientific and mathematical research. Though, the scientists succeeded to harness an unusual form of energy from magnetic fields. Watch the video!

A group of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark’s project laboratory in Risø have discovered a cooling method that uses magnetic materials instead of electricity, reported daily free newspaper Nyhedsavisen.
The invention will allow for refrigerators to replace existing electric refrigerators in homes and businesses with a fully environmentally friendly power source. Although the first [...]

Another free energy generator, this time from Australia. It can produce as much as five times the input applied to it. It could power your home, car, and free your life from the grid, coal or petrol.

Tom Bearden has invented and patented a free energy device call “MEG” (which stands for “Motionless Energy Generator”). This device transforms the magnetic force of a permanent magnet into electricity and achieves overunity. However, it does NOT run by itself, it is run by energy extracted from the vacuum (energy that most people won’t accept [...]

Maybe the title’s aim is too high (it’s a long way ’till there), but Tesla, followed by other scientists along the last century, discovered the principle of propulsion using strong electromagnetic fields. It’s not about traveling on the ground, but from the ground up, with an extraordinary speed and ease.
