  • Claim Buster Topic

    Hi all, I made the thread for those of us who consider some of the outrageous
    claims that get made need busting. To be looked at in this thread there
    should be a specific claim which is disputable.

    I'll start the ball rolling with Thane Heins.

    Claim: Energy can be created.

    I'm completely blown away by this video. Thane in my opinion is
    completely delusional. He has simply made a lot of drag become less.

    ENERGY CAN BE CREATED ~ Theory of Conservation of Energy is False - YouTube

    I hope no one is believing it, and if they are why ? What good could it do
    Thane for people to believe him ?

    Why is he pushing this so hard ? And why does he persist with the dodgey
    demo's and outlandish claims ?

    I have nothing against people experimenting however they wish. But if Thane
    can make those claims with no one questioning, it makes us all look a bit silly.

    I'm gonna come straight out and say that I think it is all bogus. And that
    when all the power is measured that is consumed by the whole setup it is
    using almost 200 watts. How in the world is that 140 % efficient ?

    Goodness me. What is he measuring the efficiency of ?

    What a very strange situation this is.

    The energy he is using to power the setup is coming from the wall, he didn't create it.

    Claim status: Busted. In my opinion it was busted by design, all the power
    used is from the grid and is input to the drive motor, almost 200 watts of real
    power used for very little output maybe 40 watts. The input reduction means
    next to nothing, all it means is that drag is reduced.

    Cheers

    He he he sort of like myth-busters, the thing is, myth-busters promotes myths. Maybe we should bust them to show that Hollywood science is not reality.

    I agree, energy is the building block of nature so its disappearance results in matter and the destruction of mater results in energy. Just because you cannot see it does not mean it is not there.

      One interesting thing is the break down of Newton's third law:
      Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.
      It would seem that the mutual forces of action and reaction are no longer opposite in special cases. Two additive force vectors stemming from the third law is a huge development. No disappointments here...

        I thought when I read the title of this thread it was going to be about some of those phony Magnet motor ads to power your house - just buy the book for only $47 - blah blah blah - you know the type of scam stuff we see and people come here sometimes asking what we think about such and such ad they found on the Internet such as Tesla something gizmo that you can build for a $100 to run your home or car. But I was surprised you have made reference to one of the people I think has done more in experiments than most anyone and may truly be advancing alternate energy in ways most of us could only dream about. No offense but I think Thane Heins is a seriously sharp guy. Just a bit of info you can glean about him from this post he made on another forum - most of it is quotes others are stating about his research:

          OK guys, the claim is .

          ENERGY CAN BE CREATED : He says this based on his setup. Yet his setup is using almost 200 watts.

          I ask you both. Do you think he created energy ?

          And is his setup 140 % efficient ?

          If not addressing the claim, there is no point posting.

          I don't really care about endorsements they mean nothing to me.

          Show me the power. I see two light bulbs and 200 watts input.

          Cheers

            Ok look at it like this.

            How much power is he using from the grid ?

            And how much power is consumed as "load" ?

            And how much energy did he create ?

            Cheers

              I'm not smart enough to analyze his info however I stand back and look at the bigger picture. Would NASA, USAF, GM, Mercedes etc., etc. want to talk to him if they felt this was bogus? I have also found recent info that cites that the laws of thermodynamics have been proven invalid both in theory and through experiment. However having said that I'll just back peddle a little and say I still think we may 'appear' to create energy but in nearly all cases it simply comes from an unseen source which may not yet be understood or seen. In my opinion he may be stating this as he has not to fool anyone but because he wants their attention brought to something that is really ground breaking and very real world useful. I've followed Thane for a couple years and find his work excellent. Gotoluc who used to be on here a lot and was well respected has also worked with Thane. So at this point I don't think any armchair speculation is going to prove anything one way or another and I doubt you will 'bust' his claim unless you fully duplicate his work and show it does not 'create energy'. I think we just need to let this one play out and tally the final results when cars are running down the road without recharging (or not).
              I am just going to say I don't think you could have picked a harder claim to bust at this point. I was planning on going for the easy ones:
              Secrets To Build A Free Energy Generator - Tesla Generator Blueprints Revealed
              Magniwork - The Energy of Tomorrow, In Your Home Today!
              And this one makes me mad because they are using Tesla's good name for bogus claims:

                To asses the total efficiency of a device all the power to the device is
                determined and the useful output power is divided by that, isn't it.

                Measuring the efficiency of one aspect of a system is not much use.

                The only real efficiency is the total efficiency.

                I'm not concerned with the Laws, so much as the claim.

                Maybe if he made is claim more specific.

                I think what he is measuring is the difference in the efficiency of the
                generator unloaded to loaded. It's a modified generator used differently. It
                cannot be compared to anything else except in total efficiency or real
                efficiency.

                Meaning, useful power out / total power input, to the whole system.

                I think to measure the shaft power he'll need to use a dyno or something.

                What type of efficiency is he talking about ?

                If it's not total it means very little.

                I'm not disapointed either. I have no reason to be.

                What efficiency do you guys think he is talking about ?

                The effect has been replicated and there is obviously no extra energy.

                Cheers

                  I don't need to bust his claim he hasn't proven it.

                  I'll just ask the questions. The answers will bust the claim.

                  The energy used all comes from the wall socket, the grid or whatever the
                  source of the 200 watts is.

                  Where is the real world use ?

                  Please address the topic.

                  The claim is he created energy in that setup, and the by-claim is it was 140% efficient.

                  You might be sitting in an armchair but i'm not. I'm not really a critic, I just
                  want straight answers to straight questions. If the questions are answered
                  truthfully, I'll accept that.

                  I think he paints a very fuzzy picture.

                    How do you figure ? Depends how you define opposite.

                    I'm not saying that law is valid or not either, I didn't bring it up you did.
                    My concern is not with weather Thane broke a "Law" or not, my concern is the
                    claim of "creating energy" and the what 140% efficiency is a measure of.



                    EDIT: I misspoke above, I should have said something like, "Depends how you apply the word "opposite" in context".

                      What would be very impressive and hard to deny would be if the generator was
                      consuming 20 watts at a steady state speed then when 20 watts usable
                      power was consumed (load applied) the generator rotor gained speed.

                      Or even if say 200 watts input power was consumed for a 100 watt electrical
                      load with an increase in rotor speed while supplying 100 watts of shaft power.

                      Even if it could supply a total mechanical plus electrical total usable power
                      output of the same as the input or more while maintaining constant speed.

                      Bottom line is he is using 200 watts to power what looks like 2 x 25 watt bulbs
                      n that video, with no power through the bulbs measured, that I seen, if there
                      was an output power measurement I missed it.

                        The fact that he is drawing any amount of energy off of the generator coils while the rotor accelerates due to the coils drawing power from the moving rotor is indicative of some type of action/reaction additive effect.

                        I have a hunch that if you had a setup similar to Thane's in a vacuum with magnetic bearings that once the lenz acceleration kicked in, you would have a self runner if you removed your input power.

                              Yes I have, why is that ? Did you calculate the real efficiency of that ?

                              It is more efficient to power the load at the lower frequency than it is to
                              power it at the higher frequency to show the reduction in input.

                              At the lower frequency it uses 58 watts to power about a 3 watt load
                              (I think the load is a bit less than 3 watt).
                              And at higher frequency it uses about 74 watts to power the same load.

                              So it uses 16 watts more power to show a decrease when the load is applied.

                              Obviously he has reduced the efficiency of lighting the light. Neat trick.
                              But what possible use could it be to use more power just so the meter can be
                              seen to reduce. Would it be ok if he used 500 Kw of power to light a 50 Kw
                              load bank just to see a reduction of 50 Kw, thereby wasting many Kw ?

                              Also at the lower frequency I think the motor is not working at it's most
                              efficient speed as well, I think it is made to run at a slower speed it doesn't
                              like to run at for the lower frequency part of the demo and that would reduce
                              it's efficiency in the normal operation mode. Even though it is a long way from
                              being a normal setup so it can't be compared in any way to a normal
                              generator other than in total efficiency. And I bet it can't even light a 10
                              watt load. Considering the size of the setup it should be able to do that.

                              Who runs a generator to power a 3 watt load anyway ?

                              Let me know you're calculations. Remember the real efficiency is all the power
                              used after the wall socket, that means the frequency drive controller and the
                              drive motor of the generator, If it was just the drive motor plugged into the
                              wall it wouldn't work like that.

                              Can you explain to me how it is an improvement in efficiency to use more
                              power to power the same load? Because in my reality that is a reduction in
                              efficiency.

                              Cheers

                              Edit: actually to calculate the real efficiency he would need to produce his
                              own AC power to run from instead of the grid. It costs energy to have the AC
                              power there to use, there are efficiency "hit's" taken to do it, which you pay
                              for in the power bill, as a part of the cost of the power. So he is paying for some
                              of the efficiency he is claiming.
