This 13-Year-Old Invented a Tesla-Inspired Free Energy Device for $14

in #news8 years ago (edited)

(WAKINGTIMES) Inspired by the geniuses Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, teenager Max Loughan loves to invent things, in fact, he says he has known his entire short life that his purpose was to change the world with his inventions. And he may just do it.

“As cheesy as this sounds, from day one, on this planet that I knew I was put here for a reason,” said Max. “And that reason is to invent, to bring the future.”

Wearing a lab coat while speaking in a televised interview with KTVN Channel 2 in Reno and Tahoe, Nevada, Max explains the free energy device that he made in his parents’ boiler room turned laboratory.

His invention looks somewhat reminiscent of Tesla coil, and operates on some of the same principles described by the electric visionary. The device is rather simple, harvesting electromagnetic energy from the atmosphere, then converting it to direct current which can be used to power electrical devices.

What’s even more incredible is that Max built his free energy device out of materials he purchased for less than $15. That’s right, for the price of an average lunch, it appears that anyone can have access to free energy.

“He created an electro magnetic harvester out of a coffee can, some wire, two coils, and a spoon.”

In a demonstration with KTVN, Max uses current created by the machine to power a strip of LED lights that he had wrapped around his twin brother, astonishing to both his own family and the visiting news crew.

The harvester conducts radio waves, thermal, and static energy, and turns it into electricity. “This wire takes energy from the air.” And the inside the coffee can, “We turn it from AC to DC.”

Max’s achievement is impressive, to say the least, and the fact that works of Nikola Tesla are now inspiring the next generation of inventors is quite inspiring, although one has to wonder why Tesla’s ideas have taken some 75 years to reach the mainstream.

Well, he just has build there a simple galvanic cell with his food can and some copper and other metal rods, so it is giving him a galvanic voltage of about 1 to 1.5 Volts and the current only scales to the surface area of these materials...
Then he uses some kind of a Jule Thief circuit to power a few LED Chains from the High Voltage output spikes of the Joule Thief... so nothing extraordinary... As this "lemon battery" type does not put out much current and corrodes pretty fast, this is NO free energy at all...
Sorry, but I analyzed the video in Slow motion and that´s just it...
BTW, I am running the overunity.com forum and are myself heavily involved in battery and supercap research in this moment... not wanting to bragg, but that is the thing this boy just presented with a lot of Media hype...
Anyway, good luck to him... maybe he can scale it up some more by using his own selfmade supercaps, which is not hard to do... Only needs the right carbon materials and electrolytes... Just go to Youtube and have a look at Robert Murray Smith and Cayrex2 channels, they are the best experts on new Supercap designs in this moment. Regards, Stefan.

It doesn't scale though that is why it has been forgotten. You can also get free electricity from plants but again it doesn't scale. There is a device that you put near the roots of plants and it harvests electricity enough to power a light or charge a phone but again it doesn't scale.

You can get energy from water if you split the oxygen and hydrogen atoms but you end up using more energy than what you get out. That is why it is not worth it to use hydrogen as fuel at least for now.

Excuse my ignorance but why would this not be able to scale? Is it the lack of electromagnetic energy available?
