"solid state free energy device" - rebuilt it but unsuccessful

[gadgetmall]

Man! He really has a money maker . Dadd dam Google Adsence!!
Teunis it's all about HITS on his fake Videos !. I blocked him .

[Teunis]

Okay, this made my brain hurt real bad...

His latest video just showed up in my subscriber list:

How the h*** does he do this? There's no motor, no visible battery, nothing.
I'm sure it's a trick... But... How? He makes it look so simple.

Yes, of course it's a trick, and of course it's sooo simple.

I thought of four ways to do it while watching the video.

The easiest one took me about five minutes to set up and three video takes or rehearsals to get it down pat.

And of course if I were deliberately trying to hoax someone to make money, I'd do it a lot more carefully, with more patter and more misdirection, and of course I'd meter the coil to show you its output on a meter.

His use of quick cuts is very clever. If you aren't too observant you might think that the cuts were innocent or maybe you'd miss them altogether.

You have to ask yourselves.... why do you not see all the effects in a single long video with no cuts?

How did you power the light?

How did you power the light? 

I don't mean to be cruel.... but the clues are all there in the video. Knowing for sure that I faked it... because I'm telling you right out that it's faked.... how would you go about doing it? Assume that is how I did it.  Now, look for evidence in the video for your hypothesis or against it.

I'll also tell you right up front that there are at least two "tells" in my video that reveal the method, and several more highly suggestive elements that support the conclusion but aren't full-on "tells".

This is also true of my video showing me metering the device inside a small Faraday cage. The tells are there. Look at what you actually are seeing, not what you want to see or what the presenter wants you to see.


Now.... here's the "caveat".  Just because I can reproduce his effects with fakery.... it does not logically follow that he is faking.  However, what he is showing is so inconsistent with any other hypothesis, and IS consistent with the fakery hypothesis.... that one may justifiably hold that "fakery" is the explanation, until he comes up with more better demonstrations and proofs ... and a YouTube video of any kind, these days, no matter what it shows or appears to show,  is not going to cut it.
