Hi In a recent video, I Took a look at the Soleus Kickstarter which was a graphene woo-woo based infrared heater project which claimed like eight times the efficiency of regular heaters and it was just ridiculous. Anyway, that eventually got shut down. so yeah, well done. Everyone who reported that one saved a lot of people their money anyway.

somebody one of my viewers. Adam Airport in the comments actually posted I've also found it pointless reporting project scams in deluded people to Kickstarter well it's they do actually act sometimes. They eventually acted on the Soleus wanna shut it down but posted for other projects that looks like have to do with like energy free energy all that sort of stuff on Kickstarter So I thought would take a look at them and this is a major problem like you expect. maybe this on IndieGoGo which is the scammers platform of choice because they're much more loosey-goosey on what they'll allow on their platform.

but Kickstarter is supposed to have this reputation of being at least a bit harder to get your stuff listed on there and we'll go into it. But let's have a look at some of these are projects that are still going. There is one of them. There's only one of them that's being cancelled here.

So and this is was a couple of days ago when Adam reported them and three of them are still going. ones being canceled. Affordable household hydroelectric generator prototype. Yeah, this is just a it doesn't have any video, it doesn't have anything.

So yeah, no wonder they canceled that one. But these three here are still going. Sure, they haven't raised anything like this one. has six backers at 55 bucks of a 7 grand goal.

this one here has one backer at one dollar of a 35 grand goal. and this homo electric one sounds very erotic. 1.5 1.6 million dollar goal. And they're three back as they've raised 11 bucks and they're reported a couple of days ago and these are still going.

So I thought: just have a look at these ridiculous like they're even like free energy over unity. or like ten times the cost reduction expected in the production of clean energy to resolve urgent global problems. And it's always the same thing. And often these people aren't scammers.

they're just not deliberate scammers. They're just like free energy aficionados. and they just think, oh, with magnets, you can solve the world's problems. You know, energy problems.

and of course, it's all it's all. BS and I've done a video debunking like overunity free energy type projects. So this has all the physics, power, and electrical get. Because it uses physics, it must work.

Okay, generate a prototype. and granted, this one is actually a real prototype. So one of the kickstarter rules is that you must have a real prototype. You can't just do photorealistic renderings.

And sure enough, this one has a real thing patent-pending I Haven't looked up the pattern for this magnetic repulsion generator because it's gotta use magnets. Yeah, it's designed to utilize magnetic repulsion to rotate and axial and to enter a rotator axial of a standard electricity generator to in turn produce electricity. So it's a motor and some maintenance videos are there on. YouTube You know, free energy, overunity magnet based things? It's just anyway.
Look, but this doesn't defy the laws of physics. Note that the units are expected to operate with a thirty-year lifespan as a result of a loss of energy in the system from the repulsive magnetic fields degrading over time and are not free to produce. Thus, do not provide, not provide perpetual motion or free energy, and as explained below, operate in a manner entirely consistent with the laws of physics and something about by luggage for elephants for vacation. and we'll find out later anyway.

I Won't read the whole thing. I'll link below if you're curious. Um, do you know functions as expected? Does it? I'm dead. What's the video in a minute? Technical summary: Magnetic repulsion is performed by a fixing.

Permanent magnets blow over to retain their directional force in a circular formation along an inner holder resembling a wheel suspended in center. Blah blah blah. It spins and it uses maintenance. It's got to work right.

Exhaustive exhaustive technical disclosure For those seeking to review exhausting technical details, including in order to verify expected cost reductions by calculating what there's a waffle. Waffle. Waffle. Waffle.

Details: Layered magnetic shielding used to control and direct magnetic fields to cause continuous rotation which is missing in the aesthetic prototype of course it's missing. And our provisional patent? There we go: I haven't actually looked at that one. Maybe we should actually look at the PDF PDF I didn't I didn't investigate like you just know these are. Oh, look at oh that looks that looks legit.

Oh, it's it's his patent. Is it? they've got? They've got his patent anyway. I'll link that in down below and you can have a look at it and look it required funding Expenditure will courser the production. probably you too.

Tires the blah blah blah and there is at the Patent Office It must be legit. It's gotta be I Found in chair, blah blah blah. Recent challenges: Let's watch the video, Shall we? Here we go: This is an aesthetic prototype of the magnetic repulsion generator ice looking Preta type. There's an outer magnet holder, magnets, internet magnets.

yep, Meg managed to provide repellent force. Yep, continuous rotation and continuous rotation holder. Yep. show us at spinning Ways Thought: I was made out of plastic which does not provide the necessary magnetic shielding that allows the magnets to emit fields in a single direction.

Instead, the fields are emanating from the sides of the magnets causing resistance. So what? You use the MU middle stuff to direct the magnetic fields I Don't know if they were limited, if if only it were CLE on the exposed face, they'd push off and must learn and I'll just keep rotating this. Bounce back here because Fielding sighs the mat board. We get the idea anyway.
it doesn't work. It doesn't do anything rotate that's flapping around in the breeze there. The motor, the outputs electricity. It just rotates on its own.

Oh Director mains output: Oh, it's it. Are there? You go? 114 days remaining. Get in now and you'll save the planet. I Mean come on, this is ridiculous, right? Let's go to the next one.

Ah, this one goes for a while. I Don't know if I can play the full video. A very important new theory has just been born in our world. A researcher has just Chairman demonstrated the infinite that infinite energy exists and it is the energy that keeps solid all solid body despite its permanent vibration and despite the constraints and deformations that it undergoes as you can see in the video, The theory Shinu did succeed in putting this big step forward.

Abundant, clean energy. bla bla bla this? Well, actually yeah, you can actually link to the pattern here at some um you'll hear him mention a Maori and Maori year blur I don't know I think it's a French pattern is it I don't know I don't have any more details but yeah, look, we've got some I don't know some machined rings or something that do forces I haven't looked at that video actually. let's look at the Kickstarter Oh, it's got it's got to be legit scientist renewable energy researcher for seven years that she got like a breadboard. What's he got? It's got an oscilloscope.

They're wearing a white lab coat. This stuff gets approved by Kickstarter You've got to remember like somebody at Kickstarter looked at these projects and went yeah, that looks legit. We'll approve that. Like somebody like a human at Kickstarter reviewed this like that's it.

Like if you've ever done a Kickstarter then you know that like it takes a few days for somebody to actually approve your Kickstarter somebody looked at these permanent vibration in objects causes free energy. It's got some cool equations in there. Must work for this. Fibrates all the time.

Hook a motor on the bottom of that vibration vibrate because hey, that's physics stuff. Anyway, come on, look clean and abundant energy. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. See I haven't even looked at this one.

What is this is the first page. The magnets. magnets again Magnus Imagine free energy. All you need is magnets I Mean come on, Somebody approved this crap and Homo Electric I'm very excited by the Homo Electric We Are Blue Ecological Association for the Promotion of Bioenergy.

Our internal: Oh God hundred kilowatts to 250 kilowatts. The Homo Electric kits. What do you get I have they've looked at the Hall of Fame 400? What do you get for your 30 bucks? English Attention Knowledge Mints, Come on D Get a thousand bucks. What do you get Registration if his face and name on a t-shirt that we are be appointed by a representative at an interview.
What? In Arugula? That's what? Is that? What you get for your thousand bucks. You get a t-shirt with your head on it or something and they wear it at a presentation. What? Thanks! In addition to other it was the lower positive parent on the official schedule. What? Like Oh, is that their prototype? Let's see.

they meet the requirements of Kickstarter They've got a real prototype. Oh look at that. Look at that. Look at that.

It's like a four stage magnetic propulsion system. Look at all the coils and winding in there. It's got to work. Oh look at this big eyes.

they big-ass coils down in there. It's just fantastic. And what's what's this that looks like the principal? So anything tiny Thunder hey is that what it's going to look like I it's not like, come on look. I'm not gonna I should bore you with the details should I The homo Electric generator.

We can define homo electricity by his principle of operation which can be detail automatic voice of you in action. Electromechanical machine generate a constant infinite energy. Infinite energy. Infinite energy.

All you need is magnets and coils and motors. A driving shaft which will transmit it to an inspecting device of inspecting device of multiplier of movement. multiplier. It's going to ever happens.

We're in their cellar and multiply your infinite energy. It of transformation of the current, transformation of zone to treat the current which will have been produced so that this electricity is ready with consumption. ready with the same time. part of the electrical current produced by the trajectory passes by an electric circuit.

In terms, it's gonna feedback so as to supplier a synchronous electric motor who will maintain the original movement initiated by the human effort on the crank crank up of perpetual motion. Closed Loop They admit it. Closed Loop of Perpetual Motion. Did somebody seriously? somebody? at Kickstarter did they do what? they even watched these videos? Surely they have a thing about perpetual motion and free energy a rule, but they don't.

We'll have a look at the rules in a minute and it's like perpetual motion. Somebody approved this at Kickstarter It's got three backers. One point, like seriously, what are the costs of construction of the power stations by our station? Ah yeah, Slice, baptize Tiny Thunder Tiny Thunders and Homo electric group which functions with the usual tensions and frequencies such as between 50 and 60 Hertz and one David that you lie on Nine Like, seriously, come on. this is ridiculous.

Anyway, their three projects that are still going basically free energy, overunity magnets, motors, blah blah blah. Or this one is like it's not free energy. It's not perpetual motion. it just you know, the Magni field degrades over time so it doesn't violate the laws of physics and ones being canceled out of three out of four.
Unbelievable. And look. Kickstarter! Meet the Team Kickstart! I have a four hundred and forty eight people based in Brooklyn. Half of them work with the community, half a product design encoding, half work with the community.

So they got like 70 75 people working with the community. I Don't know how many people looking at projects because they get so many projects. There must have dozens and dozens of people looking at these projects, but is a single one of them a competent engineer? Well, I can't they hire a competent engineer to look at When you get a technical Kickstart? you know sure enough about all the arty-farty Kickstarter's and all that. That's great.

Okay, you can have like any schmuck, evaluate them following a set of guidelines and rules and everything looking for fraud and stuff like that. In fact it is the trust and safety and analysis risk job which is this is the job of one of the they've got one job open at the moment. You can go join them. If you're an engineer, you go join Kickstarter and then you can.

They've got a manipulating data says curious about data is using and taking analyze problems methodically. You know how to make sense of ambiguous information for my hypothesis the hypothesis: you are comfortable manipulating pre-existing data analyzing results. You are curious. Quick learner problem so excellent business judgment, communication and like.

You just follow their internal rule which are over here which projects must create something to share with others. Basically, this is the only rule that these things would come under. Honest and clearly presented. and some of them.

ah, there's nothing about defying the laws of physics. Perpetual Motion Practicality which is like something like the Soulless Kickstarter For example, making these like obviously absurd Lee Claims which you cannot in the basic engineering claims which you cannot meet. It's just silly. Any engineer can analyze a projects like Solace or anything like this and just go.

This is just a joke, right? And yet do they have anyone? Do they have a single person there at Kickstarter Single competent engine. This is like first-year engineering stuff. You'd give the engineering students to debunk stuff like this. I'm unbelievable.

So out of you know, dozens and dozens, seventy people or whatever working with the community. They can't even have somebody competent enough. You've got to remember somebody verified these. They verify and approve each and every project.

They looked at this homo electric one and went, yeah, they can. They raise their one point six million dollars. They're going to produce these massive machines which saves the planet which if you watch the video like two minutes in it says it's perpetual motion. Unbelievable.
Kickstarter Let you expect this crap on IndieGoGo The Scammers platform of choice. but geez, I You know Kickstarter Supposed to have a better rep than this, but this stop and there's probably more projects and just these. These are just four of them pointed out by one of my viewers. Thank you for pointing that out anyway.

I've ranted enough. This is ridiculous. Kickstarter Geez, Get your act together. Hire at least a semi competent engineer who can evaluate these sort of projects or have somebody on retainer who can like evaluate these projects.

cuz this is just ridiculous. It's a joke and it makes your platform look like a joke. Anyway, let me know what you think down below. Catch you next time.

    These campaigns actually do result it perpetual energy produced by the nonstop face-palming they cause travelling around the world in an infinite loop of stupidity and astonishment at the stupidity.

    No, actually i found it difficult to debunk this one due to all the improper search results i got after Googling Homo electric energy. Also, my wife was angered, and we had to have a chat. Long story short, I'm not allowed to use the word 'homo' on Google anymore, and I have to go to marriage counseling.

    Hai, what do you think of Gravitricity. Found it today and claims the best solution. Is it? Worth to do a video about it?

    because kickstarter is full of communist.

    I spent quite a few years on 'free energy' projects, i copied many of them, just to see if there was anything in it. I even started to debunk the bigger ones like Rossi and Steorn, who deleted my comments within hours, but i just kept posting until they banned me. I have built kinetic, magnetic, electronic, gravitational and even atomic-level devices. You name it, i tried it! Even now i occasionally get spam from someone wanting to SELL me the schematics for the Hendershot motor. The problem is this; I already HAVE all the Hendershot plans, plus 1000's of other plans. If the Hendershot motor actually worked, i would build them & sell them, why try to make money selling PLANS? Anyone trying to sell plans means it doesn't work. But…I have encountered some pretty wierd effects with some of these rigs, i once had a real 'negative resistor' circuit that burned out high value resistors, but when you lowered the resistance, the current DROPPED! Wierd. And i once built a magnet motor (PMM) that actually ran for 3 minutes! Just long enough to make a YT or Tiktok video. But i didn't do that, i am an honest researcher 😉 Good one Dave!

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hobo Johnson says:

    Gee Mister Dave, I am a competent engineer, and maybe I should examine you. Because you yourself of all people act like a clown. I am not saying anything about fraudulent scammers at this time… but I just ran across your website… and wow, even a competently engineered project that is working in front of your face wouldn't pass your scrutiny, you are as bad as the scammers themselves, "a total know it all". The fact is… that nuclear energy is essentially free energy… or energy from the atomic matter. And I can state a few energy sources like that… that are energy from our natural world, that are abundant and basically work indefinitely, and are for all practical purposes, free. So… you are stating things that you know nothing about. You have just grabbed onto a couple of "catch phrases like: free energy and perpetual motion" that you yourself can make money on by bad mouthing and debunking from your desktop. Well and good, debunk away. But do not imply that you yourself are qualified to debunk projects from your desktop without actually seeing the prototypes yourself (not by a video, rather in actuality)… additionally, what credentials do you have behind your name so that you can state that your qualified to debunk perpetual motion projects yourself? I have been working with the most powerful magnets in the world for going on 40 years, and I have many degrees behind me. And I do not know any qualified scientist who totally understands what magnet energy is… or how it works. No one does, "unless maybe you are the first", at which point, I would like to know more about you yourself, and what your qualifications are. If scientists really understood magnet energy, they would be able to explain gravity without any theories… such as "the (theory) of gravity", which is essentially free and perpetual energy in action.

    Just because you have not seen perpetual motion yet, does not mean it does not exist. Because it does exist… in the atom itself, its all around us dip-shit. The atom emits free energy. And it does so for a long time without asking you for any donations whatsoever.

    So you cannot say that free-energy doesn't exist, nor can you say that perpetual-motion doesn't exist, because it does in many forms in nature. Its simply that you do not yet understand how it could or does exist in nature. And so, you make yourself into a debunking expert, (still an expert clown), but "without any credentials yourself". And wherein, everything you say is based on what some other "so-called" experts have said, not based on your own experience and qualified testing.

    And wow, you are quite funny with your lizard like, squinting eyes and irritating smile. I laughed all the way thru your rendition, and found that you do not know anything yourself, except that you know for sure that "free energy and perpetual motion" doesn't exist. But you do not know how or why it doesn't exist, and you do not tell anyone who is watching this video… because I was waiting for that "cliff hanger" all thru your video. So I guess the sun doesn't exist either, because radiation from the Sun is free and its for all practical purposes, perpetual. I myself know numerous people who use the Sun's energy for some time now and have never paid anything for using it. Their are technologies called fission and fusion, both are free…and produce basically unlimited energy, so long as they can make them work that is. They are said to be perpetual sources of unlimited energy. They must be lying about that, right.

    So that is the crux of the matter, unknown to you Dave… "does the technology actually work". Whether the energy is free or not, or perpetual or not, is immaterial… (because there are many types of energy sources that are perpetual and free). It's not whether the energy is from magnets or not, (evidence of this is that every motor or generator gets its energy from magnets)… and its basically free. So get off your "free energy" rant Dave. You have no idea what you are talking about. Your simply a jokester making a living off the ignorance of people on YouTube and other public media… just like other scammers are doing. The fact is your basically a scammer yourself, aren't you? You yourself are taking advantage of people's ignorance just like you say other scammers are doing. Your one to talk! Seems that you are pulling a rabbit out of your ass also mister scammer Dave! You have no idea what you are talking about. And you are spreading your ignorant BS around like peanut butter and jelly… and its dangerous jam… because it teaches our youth to not search for energy from nature, oh… "because it may be free or perpetual". Most natural energy sources are free, and they are often perpetual, or seemingly so. That is the crux of science shit-head, to search for the unknown. And our youth need to keep searching for the unknown. Thats how revolutionary discoveries are made. If everyone was like you are mister scammer, no one would ever progress in this world beyond what we "think" we have already learned. You fail to understand that science is forever changing, and recognizes that all "so-called laws of nature" are theories, "our best guess and seemingly true description of a natural action or occurrence". And, "all theories are belief's". And belief's are "those understandings of nature that are hopeful, not necessarily true", rather hopefully true. So mister scammer, everything that you say in your video is based on "your understandings of the goings-on in nature, not necessarily that which is true". And so you are basically a puckering donkeys ass speaking out loud about his opinion of what he thinks is true. And we all know that everyone has an opinion. Doesn't mean that any of them are true, or reality. The fact is… that you do not even know the right questions we should be asking… or you would be asking them.

    I would dare to say that most people who have arrogant opinions like you have displayed herein… are usually totally wrong. But you could never convince them that they are wrong… because they know what they are talking about. Isn't that Right Dave?

    They won't hire a proper engineer because Kickstarter's core business model is skimming their fees off the top of successful campaigns. You damned proper engineers would kill that goose, fed on the delicious grain of ignorance, laying all it's golden eggs for Kickstarter to gather

    the one that was cancelled wasn't even a free energy device was it? Looked like some simple little hydro generator some kid had put together.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pr0xZen says:

    Thoughts: To get 100kWh from homopower, you gotta exhaust a whole homo (sapiens) almost instantaneously. You might be able to get away with a proof-of-concept demonstration (aka a "work accident"), but trying to get it to production level is probably gonna generate a lot of unwanted attention from the UN and WHO. It's probably better to reduce the per-unit energy draw substantially, and go with many cells instead. For illustrations I refer you to a 1999 documentary on human energy called 'The Matrix'.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pr0xZen says:

    I have a great idea for a kickstarter! Saving the world with magnets!

    We all know wind and hydro works. So we use magnets to manufacture wind turbines and hydroelectric generators. We use the output from the wind turbines, to run the hydroelectric generators in reverse, generating water! Water from free wind energy! Stonks!
