FWIW, it's not perpetual motion. This is not a claim of free energy, but a claim of matter being converted to energy in a way physicists deem exceedingly unlikely. I, too, would be incredulous of any positive result, but it's not claiming to violate thermodynamics.
- dlikhten 15y agoIts not perpetual since you put in a smaller energy than you get out, but you still consume a fuel that is extremely plentiful everywhere in the universe. Perpetual = outputs more energy than it uses while consuming no fuel, so it fuels itself + some output.
