My free energy List, in order of legitimacy

[utilitarian]

I think in order to attach the word "legitimacy" to anything, there has to be something that has passed peer review.  Until there is verification, it is all just the inventor's claims.  Not a single item in the list has been independently verified and passed any kind of peer review.  How many of the inventors even practice the most basic scientific method by attempting to falsify their own hypothesis?

So until then, I guess you can say, well, that device has a 0.00001 percent chance of working, as opposed to most of the others, which have a 0.00000001 chance of working, but really, that is not saying much.

What you are really judging is how "honest sounding" the inventors have been in promoting their inventions.  But you are not judging the inventions on their own merits.

I'm willing replace the word "legitimacy" with another if there are any good word choices.

I just bumped the Steorn Orbo up one notch and removed the word "iffy." The reasons for doing so are outlined in the list.

I'd count the testatika, given the large number of witnesses.

Thanks Steven. I'll look into it.

I made a mistake. I confused Dr. Ron Stiffler for Dr. Linnard Griffin.  So Dr. Linnard Griffin is now in my list, and Dr. Ron Stiffler was removed.
