Law of Conservation of Energy?

[Sooner]

This company claims to be developing a generator with >%100 energy returns. So either they've discovered a new unknown source of energy, or they're breaking the Law of Conservation of Energy that so much of today's science is based on... or they're full of shit.

By definition, a magic trick doesn't need debunking. It acknowledges itself as a trick. One thing that motivates a lot of skilled stage magicians against those who make claims to supernatural powers is that it fails to appreciate the skill and talent of a really good performer.

These are just scam artists, looking to suck up some investment capital and disappear.

Reminds me of those scientists who claimed to have developed fusion in a glass of water.

Where are they now? This was quite a few years ago, seems like we should have cold-fusion personal rocketships by now...
