Green Energy Invention “Breaks the Laws of Physics”

In the “it sounds like we’ve heard this before” category, British scientists have invented a revolutionary device they claim can 'create' energy from virtually nothing. Not even the makers of the device are sure exactly why and how it works, but independent scientists have already confirmed the results after carrying out their own tests and finding that the 12in x 2in tube-like device somehow produces far more heat energy than the electrical energy put in. For many, such an invention sounds too good to be true—especially since such a feat would appear to violate the known laws of physics.

Jim Lyons, of the University of York, who was asked to independently evaluate the system confirmed, “This is a very efficient replacement for the traditional immersion heater. We have examined this interesting technology and when we got the rig operating, we were getting 150 to 200 per cent more energy out than we put in, without trying too hard.

'We are still not clear about the science involved here, because the physics and chemistry are very different-to everything that has gone before. Our challenge now is to study the science and how it works.'

The makers of the device are hopeful that this “thermal energy cell” will soon be available for use in ordinary homes, which could halve domestic heating bills and make a huge contribution towards cutting down on the world’s CO2 emissions.

The system is the result of ten years of painstaking work by a small team of researchers at Ecowatts' tiny red-brick laboratory in West Sussex. It works by passing an electrical current through a mixture of water, potassium carbonate (otherwise known as potash) and a proprietary liquid catalyst, based on chrome.

This creates a reaction that releases an incredible amount of energy compared to that put in. If the reaction takes place in a unit surrounded by water, it causes the liquid to heat up, which may be a good basis for a household heating system. When the technology is ready for use on a domestic scale, it would require much less energy for heating and hot water, which in turn means smaller bills for consumers, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions for the environment. Ecowatts believes a household version of their device will be ready to go on sale within just 18 months.

The project was backed by the country’s Department of Trade and Industry, which with the goal of helping poor families without traditional central heating and who cannot afford rocketing fuel bills. However, with further testing and development, it is hoped that the device could end up helping out not only England’s poor, but the entire planet as well.

One thing about this magazine it´s that gives us sunshines in all the dark that surrounds us, let's hope this is real.

Well Steorn and this company should get together and fuse their devices, maybe they could get 500% increase of energy input to it ;-)

If true and viable this alternative energy invention would stand out from most other green energies that require more energy than they produce. To be viable an energy source must produce more energy than it consumes, otherwise it is called a "sink". This is known as the "net energy" principle.
