Re: Irish company challenges scientists to test 'free energy' technology

As Pat McCarthy noted, and Ken Wittlief put so eloquently: Always beware claims that...

1. Acknowledge they break known physical laws, but are "so revolutionary that people can't believe it'

2. Are short on technical details, but long on hyperbole (like quoting Shaw)

3. Want experts to 'validate' it - having someone knowledgeable look at it seriously lends it credence.

4. Quote 'experts' nobody has ever heard of, or that have a history of non-scientific methods. (Google all names).

5. Have companies looking for money.

As we all should know: If it's too good to be true, it is. this will serve you well in life, and robotics.
