Conrad,
there are a lot of junk on this forum (and other FE forums) but that is not a reason to say that FE not possible.

What is your classification of following information? Is it unpractical and so should not be considered ?

The article is from 2012 and since then probably no progress.

Everything should and can be researched. But do not claim success before it happened.

I have nothing against looking at strange effects but please do not call it FE or OU or "violation of anything" before you can show a conclusive experiment. Claims in the picowatt are weak and need more work before you call it more than a speculation or a research projet.

The anouncements in this forum are all premature. The people who claim something do not understand the difference between speculation and proof. That is the essence of my criticism.

I allow everybody to speculate, to hope or to investigate whatever they desire. But I do not allow claims of FE, OU or "violation of anything"  without solid proof.  Picowatt claims  are weak, words  are weak and undocumented devices are  super weak. "Prove that it does not work" is also extraordinary weak.

Hi Conrad,
Thank you the answer.
I hope that I not offend you if I say that your answer is good illustration how "knowledge filtering" (aka as confirmation bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias) works.Unwanted facts and evidence just put aside under any excuse.
Its not only issue in physics, its general "scientific" method...

Regards,

Vasik041, the jerk agent is as biased as a 10 kV diode  What would you expect from him? Objectivity? Or even openminded search for truth? Nah...! He already 'knows' the answer to all matters of OU. Simply not possible, period! And that's it!  If I wouldn't know the answer, I would ask what the hell is such a mean fellow doing on a forum that supposed to discuss something impossible. And he is doing this full time like a professional, just look at the number of posts he made already, something like 6666.

Oh... wait, actually I am wrong, he doesn't already know the answer to these questions, and he has said this himself a few posts back, he wrote "I know nothing". But he poses like a know it all "authority" 
But to me he looks like an ignorant shoemaker who trolls the concert halls, walks up to the stage, jerks the violin out of  Yehudi Menuhin's hands and starts schooling him about what is possible and what is not, and how to play the Mendelssohn violin concerto 

Without that we get just hot air from his body cavities. I can do hot air by myself without Mr. Sheehan.

This fellow is a puff of hot air himself!

Thank you for the commendation! I am proud that you are one of my fans in this forum. And it is good to see that at least a few people listen and understand my advice. Keep up the good work. To learn means to suffer.
