The magnetic motor is quite interesting. Didn't Tesla (someone mentioned him in another thread) have a theory on that?

Can't tell what's going on in the first video, it's just a few minutes of video of some spinning machinery. The other two don't look possible to me. An electric motor with no power source and a magnetic motor that outputs over 80% more power than it consumes do not square with the laws of thermodynamics. I'd call scam on both of those based in the information in the videos.

Hot air power

Hot air rising turns fans which produce power. Salt water ponds store day time heat so the air keeps rising even at night. All natural.

I don't see any energy consumers around that project, where is the industry? 400km on the other end of transmission lines?

Solar sources are great but who lives and does business in the american south west desert?

True. Nobody would want this in their neighborhood.

Why not?

Better than living next to a nuclear plant and people do that.

Well I just look at my state and whenever they have tried to install windmill farms the wealthy folks want them somewhere else as it obscures their view.

But yet they aren't above plunking their monster house in front of someone else's view. Shyte happens. "Tough luck, Queen NIMBY. How many candles do you have? Are you good at cooking with propane camp gear"? lol

Exactly. First it was Cape Winds and the Kennedy's got involved as it is where they yacht in the summer.

The latest is on Natucket Island where a man said...

"I'll be the first to say that global warming is real...I just don't want to see windmills out my front window."

lol That's cute.
Don't want alternative power, find your own energy and get out of everyone else's way because alternative energy is getting bigger.

No problem.

Make them tourist traps with a Dutch windmill theme and cafes that sell "medicinal marijuana" and pancakes.

I'd definetly invest in the Smokin' Pannenkoeken Green Cafe.

Would you?

Some tend to think leveling villages full of old people, women and kids is a viable use.:canada:
I know. I just don't care what they think. When I said "a use for it" I meant a beneficial and productive use for it, not destructive.
