Feynman makes a Bedini Motor

[Evil Roy Slade]

independent testing? yeah... that's called building one yourself. see then you can do the experiment just how you want. your own quality control, your own measurements, etc.

Let's follow your line of argument that the Bedini Motor is NOT claimed overunity.

What would I end up with if I were to heave myself out of my comfortable recliner and build this motor, as Feynman is doing. It's not an overunity device. Is it a really good battery charger? But I already have a number of chargers....PWM driving some nice juicy mosfets....buck or boost.

I am curious as to what Feynman's aim is in building the Bedini Motor. What say you Feynman?

And what of all the replications faithfully documented in a myriad of youtube videos.
Are they all aware that the result of their efforts is a battery charger?

Perhaps there is another use for this motor that has escaped me. Please enlighten me.

although it was not Bedini making the claim directly in that press release, see "Energy from the Vacuum - Part 2". In this video there is no doubt that Bedini is claiming overunity from his motor/generator devices

--about the independent testing statement made by ERS, you missed the point

the point is to have a device, for which the builder claims to be overunity, tested by a qualified group (most people are not) to verify the claims

this way it is the actual inventor's/builder's device that he built being tested, and it is being done by an independent and qualified group. the myth busters are obviously not a qualified group to do this sort of test.

This phrase sums up the problems being explored in this thread very succinctly.
1) Does the builder claim overunity, and if not, what DOES he claim?
2) Nobody is more qualified to test the machine than the builder! Once the builder has some interesting test results, THEN it might be worth another group replicating the tests. But otherwise, what is the point?

I personally have not seen any quantitative test results, properly documented, that indicate overunity. Can anybody point me to some?

Also, I like the picture of an armchair that says "PHD" on it. Does this mean that anybody on this forum actually HAS a PhD? Just thought I would ask.

i don't want to prolong the hijacking of Feynman's thread, so i won't enter into a discussion here - if you want to follow up my results with me we can either do that privately via PM / email or in public via my 'OU/COP>1 switched cap...' thread

results from my recent experiments are posted at:

as you would read on my website, i don't have a PhD
