Well hook up a dynamo on the steam end and power the electric motor with that and leave it running.
Curious how long it will last...

Seems an odd choice of words to say something came from nothing just because it's meter read over 100% efficient. The energy came from the process and the materials, however much it is. Just because it's 1% over a 100 doesn't mean it came from nothing. It is our perception of 100% that needs examination, meters dont take into account time. Im sure over time its efficiency will dwindle, as materials weather. It is not perpetual, but I do believe many of these technologies exist.

You're suggesting other people stop writing and then in your next sentence insist that something can be over 100% efficient?

What has boiling to do with temperature? Nothing on itself. The boiling point is dependent on the pressure. Steam doesn't mean heat. You lower the boiling point to 20°C and produce 20°C steam. What is the benefit of that? It just demonstrates cavitation. Nothing new about that since hundred years.

I was JUST about to say that

Instantanous vapour yes, overunity no.
Otherwise the guy would feed the steam to a steam turbine what drove a generator - and there were a perpetuum mobile of the first find.

Why do you need an inefficient dynamo/alternator to generate electricity? Surely, just pass the steam you're getting through a steam turbine, to get rotational energy, powering the rotor.
Except of course, if you did, it would slow down and stop almost at once. This simple can't be an over-unity system.

what ever their using to measure the power of the steam. whell.....its broken!

Total energy in is higher than total energy out. You have to measure all energy inputs, and the people claiming this works do not. Simple case of poor science education.

Sure this might be effective if you have a power source already. If you coupled this with say solar panels or wind turbines then it would be a reliable solution in eliminating your need for power from the grid, as well as providing you heat in a time of need or to save you some dough. |
