Wasif Kahloon's Magnet Motor

Mylow had his stories about visits from the Men In Black.  Do you remember when Mylow told Sterling Allan that the Men In Black took Mylow to MiB HQ and showed him their magnet motors?

Yes, and I also recall the bird, and some guy named Tony (presumably Mylow's brother)  And, let's not forget the famous quote from Mylow to Tony on one of his videos...."You can turn it off now..."

Sterling still gets pissed if you mention the Mylow saga to him.  Reminds me of the saying...hook, line and sinker.

Mylow was a bad episode for Sterling Allan.  Several people resigned his New Energy Congress because Sterling kept supporting the obvious fake.  Even after Mylow was exposed by the video where both the fishing line and the motor were visible, even after Mylow confessed, Sterling kept supporting the idea that Mylow had a working all magnet motor.  It was months after Mylow's confession before Sterling Allan publicly accepted that Mylow was faking all along.  The experience does not seem to have improved Sterling's rush to support every new free energy claim that comes along.  Presently, Sterling Allan is strongly supporting Doug Myers' claims of a free energy box when no one has seen so much as even a preliminary demonstration.

Yeah Sterling Allen has this propensity for overly positive attitudes. But that is necessary. He is the only one who consequently shows and lives that to cherish the chance that something might work that may not be missed is more important than to cherish a critical attitude of doubt and thus miss an important claim. Thus he is the greatest encouragement for any endeavor into the uncharted territories. And that is what we all need here at OU.

Sterling Allan has for many years fought a mostly good fight looking for highly improbable revolutionary energy developments.  He deserves applause for that.  Where I take exception is supporting ideas before there is any evidence and in propping up scams.  Sterling Allan recently wrote that he thinks that it is necessary to support those who are mistaken and even those who are scamming in order not to miss out on real developments.  I disagree with him on this.  The scams can't lead anywhere, and the mistaken ideas have very little chance of leading anywhere.  Even worse, the scams stain unusual ideas discouraging people from giving unusual ideas a look. 

Mistaken ideas are different than scams.  It's OK for people to make mistakes.  Mistakes and missteps are a normal part of the discovery process.   But once a mistake is found, it is time to be done with it and move on to something else.  Pretending that ideas that have been thoroughly vetted and found to offer no promise can work is just nonsense.  In many cases like looped motor <=> generator claims, Sterling ignores over 150 years of evidence and readily declares that each new such claim is true without bothering to check the claims first.  In every case so far all such claims have proven false for reasons that are well understood. 

Sterling Allan puts forward the odd idea that skeptics who expose the scams and/or determine the mistakes that honest inventors have made so far are keeping working breakthroughs from the market.  Neither skeptics nor believers can change nature.  If somebody comes up with a real breakthrough that works, it will hold up against the most rigorous skeptical review.  The flip side of that is that even the strongest and most sincere belief cannot make a concept that is wrong into something that works.

Sterling Allan has cried "Wolf!" so many times that his technology declarations no longer have any credibility at all.  He has recently further undermined his credibility with deep dives into psychic readings and his self-invented pseudoscience that he calls "alphabetics".  If those methods were reliable one would think that he would not have the degree of strife with long time associates that he has today.  Instead, Sterling has been "discovering" through his "alphabetics" and psychic readings that people who stood by him for years are now according to him: "double agents" under the control of dark forces out to undermine energy discoveries.  It has gotten so out of control that Sterling has declared that he has put some long time supporters on an "enemies list".  I think the last time I heard of anyone with an "enemies list" it was the Nixon White House.  It doesn't take a psychic to see that Sterling has gotten himself onto a bad path.
