Bedini, Lindemann, Bearden, Dollard -- What are their Accomplishments?

@milehigh.ive seen 2nd law infarctions upfront buddy.plenty more experiments to do yes.either bedini doesnt know his thermodynamics or somebody replicated wrong?

I'd wager you have done nothing of the sort, since you have you repeatedly shown in the past that you do not understand the meaning of the 2nd Law.

@libre i wager your wager and drag you infront of a karpen battery..you owe me

I lost faith in Bedini when he explained that his Epsom salt, after being heated into the molten state, didn't absorb water molecules. I couldn't believe he was making this claim. I think Chemistry 101 involves hydrated and anhydrous Copper Sulphate (anyone remember heating this and turning it from blue to white?). Well, this is module 102. Anhydrous Magnesium Sulphate is a DRYING AGENT and readily absorbs water from the air. It's even on the wiki page!!  And so his 'dry crystal battery' isn't dry!  It is constantly absorbing water from the air, and the water acts as an electrolyte which decays his electrodes, making it a typical galvanic battery.

Since his ridiculous claims of having a non galvanic and dry battery, in spite of using a molten drying agent which readily absorbs 7 water molecules per molecule of MgSO4, I have ignored all the rest of what he says. And, in consequence, I have become far more suspicious of characters like Dollard. He says some ridiculous things also, and rather often. I heard him say recently that the Sun isn't visible in space!! That was more Dollard than I could handle, and I haven't watched him since.

The FE business is full of scammers, and nothing irritates me more these days than the words 'free energy' on a tesla coil video, or home made battery. And even our beloved Stefan (not just Sterling Allen) is guilty of using this simple tactic to get more views. Just check out his 'free energy' Aluminium/Carbon fibre battery, which uses an alkaline electrolyte.....Can I make a video of a Duracell battery, and call it free energy, or would that be dishonest?

Come on Stefan - don't join the other plonkers by adding the word 'overunity' and 'free energy' on videos which clearly demonstrate regular and well understood effects. Have a bit more self respect!

Thanks for listening to my rant! I always read TinselKoalas posts, cos I think he's one of the most honest guys on here!

no man.those are all regular galvanic.im talking about the karpen pile.its electrodes cannot react with electrolyte.gold and platinum electrode potentials are above the surrounding influences.

[baroutologos]

no @milehigh.they probably do this so that they CAN deflect attention away from the thermodynamic fundamentals.they rather point at 'space vibes' or 'zero point' so that they can be one up on the rest.they know more than they let on,at least in some cases.some of those guys hint at the fundamentals here and there.Speaking of 'zero point energy' is technicly not erronius when dealing with  2nd law discrepencies but one realy has to know ones relativity physics basics to get the proper picture on that and how it pertains to 2nd law fundamentals.its the long way round.

Hey Profitis,

I guess you know what profitis means in Greek, don't you?

By the way, you refer to exotic possibilities than in order to be of any real world value, must be investigated and confirmed.
What you said in another thread as an example of possible entropy flow reversal is the example with the isothermal box and a magnifier lenses.

Hmm i am not expert, but if we assume the diffusal of EM photos increase entropy and a magnifier lenses "compacts" the back together is a sign of decreased entropy, it seems reasonable to say that it.. violates 2nd law? And assuming this happens, it is due to the nature of rays (waves?) and their properties.

Has any other material any useful property to allow us to open a window to 2nd law violation? Easy replies without too much mind boggling theory are always welcomed.
