  2. Sounds like an N-machine by LiquidFaction · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Irish Company Claims Free Energy

    N-machine (aka - Zero Point Energy or Vacume Energy), and things like the Homopolar Generator

    The idea's been kicked around for a long time, and is not really new. Unfortunatly it looks as though if an idea is not patentable in the USA it doesn't exist. Start reading folks... this isn't anything new, it just that a company may have gotten enough attention to actualy get a non-oil consuming energy source off the ground (cause we all know what competition like this would do to Big Oil).

    Podkletnov spun a levitated superconducting YBCO disk at high RPMs. As the story goes he walked into the room smoking a pipe and saw the smoke from the pipe rising in a column above the superconductor. Measurements showed a slight decrease in gravitational attraction above the superconductor. Of course, the science involved wasn't exactly careful (who would smoke a pipe next to equipment like that?), and he was dismissed as a crank.

    If you've read The Hunt for Zero Point by Nick Cook, Cook actually talks with Podkletnov about his "discovery". He then admits it wasn't a random experiment, but based off some Russian papers around WWII with some Nazi connections or something.

    So really it's pseudoscience, and i'm sure the scientists mentioned in the article were both aware of Podkletnov's work and at the same time careful not to associate themselves with him. Just because it's pseudoscience doesn't mean nothing will come of it - it just means it's really unlikely. If you're interested in this sort of thing I recommend reading Cook's book, he worked for a military journal before deciding to explore the world of pseudoscience (the book almost has a mystery thriller aspect to it).

    They can show us this, but they still can't show us the fillagried balconies on all the ornate buildings of Cydonia, or even a more detailed image of the Face of Elvis!. Come on, where are you priorities, NASA?

    Yeah, but do the "Greys" from Zeta-Reticuli honor this commercial star registry?

    We get enough grief honoring International conventions here on Earth!

    ...and the city/fort is pretty clear in the new Odyssey image they released. The links to the "there is intelligent life on Mars" sites was simply to give an alternative point of view on the imagery as well as some history into the controversy/debate.

    Here's a couple links with other images of the city (also called the "fort" by some):

    Personally, I'm with ASU -- landforms that look like familiar objects are nothing more than that. Looking at the Themis image I can see all kinds of shapes -- for instance the mouthless skull below the face and above the pyramid, and to the left of the hill just below the pyramid appears to be three partially obliterated silos or water tanks in a row (running horizontally).
