HABTEC SOLAR CONVERTER

[MarkE]

This is strange.  Mr. Hardcastle states on his website that there is some controversy as to whether if others perform some non-specific tests on some devices and get some non-specific results he should eat a hat.  If the quote that celsus posted is correct, then Mr. Hardcastle was due to eat a hat when he did not produce proof to the person he addressed.

Some people are suggesting that if they do the test and it does not perform as specified that I owe them an Akubra Hat eating, I disagree with their logic as I have proved the physics, not my fault if the people who already know it works do not want there names thrown in to the feeding frenzy that exists in the society of rabid skeptics. However if someone buys a device then on top of the offer of $10,000, I will also consume 50gm of my Akubra hat, video uploaded to YT. Additionally if any USA university is prepared to certify the device I will pay them a fee provided that they will sign a certificate after they preform the test. I wanted a Prof at ANU to do the test on a supplied device, and so certify the physics, but he (Steve) said it was not necessary as he already believed it to be so from the statements provided to him by an independent professional (name withheld). So people can take my offer, or not, but I only eat my hat when I actually fail, so buy a device and test it before you say I should eat Akubra.

Posted By: PJH on Jun 4th 2014 I will feel obligated to consume said Akubra if I cannot provide to you verifiable proof of a working device in contradiction to 2LOT, please state what excuse you will use on the 20th August not to eat your yet to be nominated hat?

I did not fail to provide proof, did fail to get the Chinese to build devices by 20th, agreed, but who would have thought they would be so slow?

According to you the only thing that will prove things is if people have a device in their hands.  That was not possible by the 20th as promised ergo I think it's pretty clear that even under your OWN crazy standards.  You are in contradiction and apparently to some people that means you should eat your hat.

I do however accept the hat eating challenge needs to be put on firmer ground, so I have added that as a condition of the $10,000 challenge.

The $10K challenge is idiotic.  You have provided no test criteria and no success criteria. 

Also added an offer to pay a fee to any USA university that is prepared to issues a test certificate.

Or you could HIRE an independent group to TEST IT as chosen by skeptics or some representative group of skeptics (i.e. JRF).  For probably less than $10K  if the test is as simple as you imply (that anyone could do it and demonstrate your utter failure) and PUBLICIZE the result.  Seriously this is done ALL THE TIME.  Why wouldn't you just do that?  It is orders of magnitude more POWERFUL to do that.   This all makes me think you actually don't have the money to pay up.

Now that is the end of my generosity,

You have provided exactly nothing.

Show of hands...is there ANYONE who really believes Philip here anymore?

To be fair, you have been promising to show something for more than five years and never provided anything of value.
Or to be exact: You failed so many times that the non-result we see now is what everyone has expected.

Do as you choose.  It's a bit stunning that because you feel wronged by a handful of people here you declare that you will deny seven billions others your supposed life changing discovery.  What is even more stunning is that you feel wronged that people challenge you based on your own undelivered claims and promises.  For those of us who believe you have been badly mistaken all along your announcement has no more impact than the numerous bombastic announcements that you have made before and come to naught.
