Correct. The engineer who built it (@alsetalonkin) should take the credit. And, by the way, it's only natural that only after a video one will pay attention. In science, especially in this area, ideas that a device may work don't matter one bit. These ideas, including that one have been around for centuries. The internet now is flooded with probable and bogus ideas. The one and only thing that really matters in such a case is actually building the device in flesh and blood and demonstrating that it really works. That's why those who have working devices but are secretive and dream of becoming rich are double losers. They will never become rich on this and credit won't go to them. One thing should be understood very well. Openness and free dissemination of knowledge are not only good for society but are also the most expensive commodities in science. Those that have something to show, if they are wise, must do the opposite of what the likes of Steorn are doing. They should run and grasp at every opportunity to have it replicated by independent parties. Also, one sure way of preserving one's interests (priority) is to have it published in a peer-reviewed journal. The more prestigious, the better. With all the necessary details to help independent researchers confirm its reality. That's the way to go.

Well said.  I could not agree more.  Happy New Year to you.

Happy New Year to you, @pirate88179 and to everyone in the forum. You should've seen what fight broke out in the Steorn forum. It turns out that by @alsetalonkin's own admission he only published the video because I had pissed him off. Can you believe it. Had I not pissed him off we wouldn't have known about this. Then it's pretty easy to stimulate people to do good things. How more childish one can be? Also, someone else there claims that this is his idea and credit should go to him. @alsetalonkin only built it. These people are out of their minds. Have they no idea what matters in this case? Anyway. Good luck to you and may we have a working device replicated by many, many people this year.

Understand, these guys are not claiming anything at this point and it does slow down to a stop.

Go away @RunningBare. Your input isn't necessary. You have made no contributions to this field and your only role is to be a nuisance.
