Self Contained Power Source?

McOSEN writes "Your Server Cabinet could have a 100% self sustained power source. It's called Parallel Path Technology and it's being coined as a revolution in the magnetic motor industry. From Segways to Vacuum cleaners to Server Cabinets. The article talks about the technology but doesn't exactly lay out specifics."

    I found this article quite a while ago: http://www.keelynet.com/energy/ford.htm Model T Magnetic Engine - from TFA My contact said there were three fellows who got wind of this story several years ago. They secured a first-run Model T and found it did indeed have strange slots on the bell housing. Magnets were inserted and when they cranked it, the flywheel began to spin on its own. Based on this initial verifying experiment, they eventually produced a 40hp version which was self-running, using the same magneto system. A demonstration was scheduled in a larger city and two of the men drove the prototype to the demonstration, the third man was ill and could not attend. The demonstration went off without a hitch and was enthusiastically received. Plans and contacts were made for duplicating the prototype for further tests that would be followed by marketing. As the two men were driving home late that evening with their prototype, their vehicle was run off the road. The next day, their vehicle was found overturned, both bodies lying in a ditch with their throats slit and the prototype was gone. The third man who had been too ill to attend the demonstration packed up everything and went into hiding. Word is, this man is still alive, very paranoid, yet he has not given up on the principle and has gone even further in his development of the principle. I heard a lot of rumors about lots of prototype engines that are using alternative energy like water even small nuclear engines but either the inventors were bought out by oil company's or they were found murdered, had an accident etc.

  3. I call BS and maybe for the last time by wirehead_rick · · Score: 0, Troll

    I am sick and tired of what I used to think was a reputable geek site, Slashdot, to be front paging pseudo science BS. This is about the 5th BS article in about as many months.

    Keep it up a--holes. Time to find someplace else to get the _real_ information. A geek site this is NOT!

    Maybe the Bush admin is sticking their fingers into this place. Next we'll see ID claims every other day :(.
