Special thanks to Windows On Windows and Jeremy's Retro Bar for helping with this episode! 🗓Also, mark your calendars everyone! On September 16 at 6 PM CDT (UTC-5) I'm hosting a special live stream to celebrate the Computer Clan's 15th birthday! See you there! 🥳
The year is 2033, cyber crime has been eradicated. Nuclear fusion is achieved, global peace is established, nature is restored, and Computer Clan is struggling to make a convincing video about cyber scams. Desperate to feed the algorithm addiction, in the millions, now corporate property of alphabet inc, Computer clan desperately crafts a scam unlike any other scam.
@@theguywithone What are you referring to to be close to impossible? A motion machine that works longer without external influences just works longer. We already build flywheels with magnetic bearings in the vacuum. they can spin for an extremely long time, but not forever. Friction will always play a role since a perfect vacuum is also impossible to achieve.
Or if you want to be really sneaky, where to hide the radioactive isotope. Devices powered by radioactive decay can last for decades. In fact, that's how some pacemakers of old worked.
I would double check your credit card (or use a "burner" credit card). The site could be _claiming_ your card is declined but actually charging it. Or worse, the whole thing is to get your credit card number allowing them to buy something _months_ later.
I work with fraud detection and I cannot agree more with your hypotheses. It looks like they are just scanning for info. I think the next step is to background check the “45 years old teacher” and see if it is a real person. If not, this is a straight-up criminal enterprise.
While I agree with the other commenters that Mr Ken is probably experienced enough with these scams to not use a regular CC, I do want to thank you for putting this here. We all need a good reminder of best practices now and then.
@@thiagopiwowarczyk2220 That may not tell you anything. They could have looked up “45 years old teacher” and pulled a name from what came out. I found five 45 years old real world teachers (one of whom committed suicide) using this method.
@@TheSpizzaboy No no big-energy bad. We don't want them to profit from our basically free out of thin air energy. We just kind of want to become them ourselves, but like totally different.
And if it can cover 100% why can’t it generate more than 100% to power a whole townhouse? or an apartment complex? or to sell back to the power company for profit?
I only saw this video last night, and curiosity got the better of me, so I watched the entire Quick Power System video. It was funny and confusing. I like how it is so incredibly easy to build, but if you have any problems getting it to work, they have free lifetime phone support.🤣
Honestly, if more people would pay attention in their high school physics classes instead of complaining about how they'll "never use this information", it'd be a lot harder for scams like these to get off the ground.
I was watching a math video the other day, and some guy was railing on fractions, saying that he doesn't understand why they even teach them in school because they're never ever used afterwards, then he legit said he wasted HALF of his life in a school that taught him nothing... 😂 Then I commented saying well I guess I know who's cake NOT to ever try, being that you must have a meltdown and seize when you see 2 1/2 cups of flour etc.
@@ryancraig2795go to the comments section of some of these PM devices, and engage with one of their rabid defenders... Someone who by the way has yet to build the device they're vehemently defending... You'll be amazed how delusional people are... And angry.
The simplest way to debunk this product is to realize if it is as easy and inexpensive to make as claimed, why aren’t they selling the generator instead of the plans? They’d make a killing selling a generator that was capable of even a fraction of what is claimed.
Bingo! There's probably a good reason why the 'inventors' of these perpetual motion machines ever only sell the plans for building them and not the machine itself.
Because then when it doesn't work, it's your fault for not building it "properly" instead of theirs. They can't sell perpetual motion machines because they're impossible to make. That and the oil industry's MIBs keep smashing up his stuff. That's why he had to go undercover as a 45 year old geography teacher. Really, Skynet sent him back in time and he hasn't even been born yet.
People get roped in by these scams all the time. I know someone who was convinced he could build a "perpetual motion generator" some years ago. It's so hard to break it to people when they've been taken by scams. I hate seeing them crestfallen.
Most of the people I see buy in so much they won't let go, they reason big gub'nment is shutting it down to save business. People bring up "Brown's Gas" regularly (the car than "ran" on water) as the only owner died while being used by investors for refusing to share details of it, it's put down as a kill. Same with the people who mistake Tesla's idea of free electricity as being somehow capable of forming it out of thin air for free, when he actually meant using a generator and transmitting it to people for free
a perpetual motion machine kit could be a fun exercise to do if it just advertised it as an activity. maybe at best it could power a led light for a time.
I saw someone in a TH-cam comments section who couldn't understand why electric car manufacturers don't put wind turbines on the front of the cars to charge their batteries while driving
I was in the aerospace industry for thirty years. Absolutely no such thing as a free lunch in the power generation field. Fun fact, the more complicated the device is the more maintenance it requires. No such thing as maintenance free. Even a bicycle will fall apart without it. Different systems degrade at different rates according to environment and use plus duty cycle. Scammers like this need to face serious prison time. Thanks for producing this video. Hopefully it will save some poor slob from being taken advantage of.
@@snakewithapen5489That's more to do with the lengthy process of getting complex stuff approved to fly in the air. And overall makes it harder to systematically prove safety and redundancy. It's easier to show how and why a switch might fail, versus a whole computer. Although there's generally a lot of motivation to switch from mechanical systems to electrical, not the least because they're often easier to maintain. For example, electric conductors don't experience the same wear and tear as mechanical systems. It's also more lightweight.
The upcoming drone episode will be fun. I used to work for a company that sold those (plus those swamp coolers, the monoculars, and the fake watches). The fake drone was the biggest piece of junk ever. It was so weak, even with the slightest gust of wind, it would drift away, even if going full throttle against the wind. I ended up crashing it into a neighbors apartment while testing. Shitty camera and useless app too. It was advertised 4k and we had footage in the marketing made by professional thousand dollar drones, like zipping through traffic, over cliffs, etc. but the thing could not even fly straight in a residential street. Keep up the good work, Ken. I feel terrible that I having worked for them for so long but now that I'm out I can enjoy your videos. It's like catharsis to me!
I went into his discord and suggested this idea. The ad was so bad I can’t even explain it but somehow they did have a flamethrower drone and never burnt down the tree… if you want to watch the ad you need a VPN to New Zealand because it is targeted to NZ
Aww! I was really curious to see what was in the "book". That was super disappointing that you couldn't actually get a copy of it... Maybe the "big" power companies had to put a stop to him before the world figured out his "ingenious" way of generating limitless power.
@@David-gr8rh I am open to the idea that anything can be made. All they have to do is lead with the evidence; not the claim. Everyone makes claims, so claims are not so important. If they lead with the extraordinary claim; then I'll be a bit more skeptical.
when I was a kid I tried the same thing... I liked taking things apart and playing with batteries. I hooked 2 motors up to each other. oddly they'd never keep running without a battery, and the battery died faster than if it was just turning a single motor. then the "magnet motor" idea came to my mind, and I learned when I got older that it was also impossible. 😆
My world changer was a turbojet where the intake and compressor stages were imbalanced perfectly to just run each other without fuel lmao. I was so sure there was some magic ratio
What they have blurred out are the "home generators" that other "free energy" people have claimed to work. It is just a motor connected by a belt to an alternator that is used to charge a battery....that the motor is running off of.
Phishing for card details is why if I was doing this kind of scam checking I would use I would use a "burner" (prepaid) card. I have seen thieves wait _6 months_ before charging stuff on a credit card after they get the number (someone stole the number from a parking garage I had to use in my case)
@@Maximara luckily this would not work for any of my cards as I have MFA enabled for all of them (mobile app or SMS code) for any online payment. Also Revolut allows me to set up burner cards as well.
@@Tushka154 A lot of sites have the security code (on the back of the card) as part of the pay now process. So the site already has the credit card number *and* the security code. From what I have seem most _legitimate_ sites don't have a line for MFA and if you asked I wouldn't be surprised if they asked "What's the Museum of Fine Arts have to do with our site?"😁
I was selling a Belt driven generator head and you wouldn't believe how many people asked me if they could power it with an electric motor to make free energy and I'm like that's impossible. ...
I have found that with ADHD, you are kind of "immune" to VSLs, because (for me at least) you lose interest quickly and are irritated by the format. So you (I) tend to either turn them off or "rip them apart" for the stupidity.
Same with autism. It depends on the kind of autism a guess. Even if seeing different kinds of autism is considered racism. I'm glad we can call science racist. And pretend everyone live in the same little box by convince. It makes the world so much simpler when we don't have to understand each other. (Just having fun with my train of taught 😁 don't take it to seriously we are not on Twitter. An I'm just a random autistic person typing nonsense)
@@supersillysammy272 I think it was the school strike one "the PTA dispands", Lisa goes crazy without school and starts tinkering with stuff and develops an actual perpetual motion machine.
5:58 That video is actually a small project someone made to showcase how a flywheel can be used to keep a wind turbine spinning more stably. With one of the motors being used to simulate the wind turbine blade and the other one plus the flywheel being the rest of the setup inside the turbine.
I knew someone who got sucked down the "free energy" rabbit hole. And this was someone who'd founded their own small business. I guess it really does take all kinds.
Yeah, I have a solar powered lamp that cannot charge itself. I’m sure whatever photons from the led land on the cell probably do charge the battery a little, but eventually it doesn’t turn on anymore if it is the only light source in the room, because that’s how thermodynamics works.
Plenty of examples of these - clocks that wind themselves up from barometric changes of the atmosphere are a thing. They'll literally run forever. But it's still not free energy.
I love it when I see an advert for a car, and they spend 20 minutes telling why it was made. "Henry Ford was upset with the costs of big horse, so one year used the secrets of the..."
The declined payments may be explained by complaints made to banks / credit card companies by defrauded customers. Those banks and card then blocked payments to the owners of the website. That or they just managed to phish for your credit card info... hopefully not.
I'm sorry, but if their generator was so simple that an ancient windmill has more components than it does, *then we would have figured this out since the 7th century*
The implication is naturally that the knowledge existed but was buried by Big Energy or whateverthefuck. It's a very particular kind of people, particular kind of mindset, that falls for these things.
@@SianaGearz I think it can happen to many people, the trick is just to make the reward sound so rewarding that people start to question the wrong things, like the odds of it working. Kinda the same effect you can see at for example lotto or gambling in general
@@SianaGearz It's also manipulation on "Fighting the good fight" appeal, which is generally accepted "Hey everyone, we know that Energy Companies are unethical... I have this thingamabob to help us have it at them!" Oppressed and/or Disadvantaged people are vulnerable, and scammers, swindlers, and demagogue of all kind always prey on the vulnerable.
It's really stupid. I used to work for one of these companies. Often they would market as far as they could to not cross the line (or cross it, whatever) and then if we got in trouble, we nuked the brand entirely and rebranded. Same shit product, but new name. Big legal team too. We tried not to flat out lie but a lot of it is also the large affiliate networks who make up advertising. They are so big that the product spreads into the mainstream and there are so many of them that even if you tried you cannot squash them all!
I love how Ray thinks because something powers itself it requires no maintenance, that's not how it works, maintenance is different to energy used/produced.
I love the idea that someone that exists entirely out side of a specific field of study will be the person to turn that field on its head or revolutionize something... "I make bagles for a living and then one day at work I realized that the power of the bread hole could change medicine forever... I cured migraines with donut hole hats."
@@Wertercat that's not an individual from outside a given field making a field destroying discovery. Thats an ai learning model being redirected. A programmer with ai knowledge would be involved either way, someone within the field. The data set was the only change. The ai programmer didn't independently study and identify new cancers and create a tool to identify them.
The only example of a generator (or in this case multiple turbines) that can power themselves, is a power plant. This is because they generate enough power for thousands of buildings at once, and the power they use to maintain themselves is like the cost of producing a product.
There is only one perpetual motion device. Strap a piece of buttered toast on the back of a cat. The toast always lands buttered side down and the cat always lands on its feet causing perpetual motion.
Do you have any examples of a VSL which isn’t a scam? I only ever see this marketing pattern used for harmful scams, especially in areas of health (for example, “products” that “help” anxiety or chronic pain).
Yes Ken, I watched this 'short' video, even the 'still here' extention, to see what the key to 'infinite free energy' was. I was going to recommend it to you, however, I'm relieved to see that you've already reviewed it. Thank you.
I'm glad you point of the common sense comes with experience. Something a lot of people don't understand. Common sense doesn't magically appear to you, or that you're born with it. If someone doesn't have the same experience as you, can you honestly expect them to know the same things you do?
No. LMAOXD. People going for such kind of "offers" would buy one even if they would watch entire of this video 5x times. This is similar thing to (for example) Flat Earthers, after showing and proving them Earth is not flat in 1000 different ways. Yet they still will believe otherwise.
I've run into VSL's in the past, but I did not know what they were called or why they all pissed me off so much. I sincerely hope that guy gets a horrible and unproportional punishment for inventing them.
VSLs in general piss me off too. The delayed buy button trick is particularly insidious. Some of them masquerade as informational videos that just keep withholding the info until they've provided more background, until 10-20 minutes in when you find out that you've been wasting your time on an infomercial all along. The only VSLs I've seen that were for legitimate non-scam products, the price was inflated and the same thing could be found at normal store websites for a lot less. By now, if I see a website with a video with no scrub bar or total length displayed and not much else on the page, I just click off the page immediately, it's garbage.
3 three things: - I like the cover, critic what is needed - beauty is in the eye of the beholder - your video was very very funny and interesting - and I finally registered to your channel
It's true. You only need a couple wooden wheels and cogs to generate INFINITE POWAH. Literally every single country of the world just still uses conventional, highly complicated power plants for the luls.
lul, the concept of energy generation on a self feeding loop would involve some how improving efficiency to an over combined 100%... which would involve either something extensively massive that manages to bootstraps a primer intake into excessive bursts & exceptional strict limiters to prevent parts from moving faster than they should. Then whe you've hit enough of a critical mass at one end, that simple magnet generation a along wires can generate enough power to fully trigger the start of the 'loop', putting continous trickle charge bursty batteries meant just to power the intake while also recieving charge, would complete the look and you use another bootstrap with what's left of the power and methods used for this would be pure benefit outside of the exceptionally obvious downtime for Maintenace. because materials wear & tear. Though what I find absolutely funny is that we could power a boot strapping stepping stone with slower high torgque LONG magnent series, and build bankds of batteries off of it that burst into higher compacity batteries, and step up again. The problem we have is storage & Transmission of 'power' on a realistic scale. High enough torque could prove ... interesting in results, if we use light enough & strong enough magnets, on a long enough partitioned cylinder that also has lead barriers to help mitigate the flow of eletricity not effecting other wires next to it. Seems to me, that the physics of spinning metal like things along a cylinder could be overcome with strong enough light weight material & scaling down of an output target. -I find Dams interesting if I had to be honest.. but frankly the tought of 'what if we made the force required to spin turbines Low enough that the consumer sector could reasonably turn it, just with a lower out put.
Yeah, but honestly, if you're really going deeper into this, in this context and explanation, means you're kinda got scammed already, or at least manipulated in some way. Because entire "concept", idea and any sense of this "revolutionary device" flaws much, much sooner.
My grandfather used to invent things. One of his targets was a perpetual motion machine, of course he never made one but I have found memories of looking at his attempts in his workshop on his farm in North Dakota. He died in 1959 so his work is pretty. much history. He discovered what most folks know, there is no such thing as free energy. One of his machine's was a small electric motor that powered a car generator (alternators were yet to be invented) It did run for some time once started using a 6 volt car battery, but eventually friction overcame the power and it came to a stop. He did invent some neat things though, he was a very smart man in his day.
Wow, this reminds me of that old scam, Steorn, from a bunch of years ago. I had so many people showing me their "demo" that just looked like a kinetic desk toy 🤣 Though, I don't think they had 2(4?) cogwheels, so maybe that's why they didn't survive.
This sounds a little like KERS in Formula 1, but KERS uses excess electricity generated by the car engine to keep a flywheel spinning (or capacitors charged). The driver can then use the electrical energy to provide a quick power boost, which slightly increases the power of the car engine for a few seconds. KERS, however, only provides around 50 or 60KW, which would be enough to power a few devices for a relatively short time, but likely wouldn't' scale. I don't know the physics, but I should imagine the flywheel or capacitors you'd need to power an entire house would be huge, and would possibly need their own house sized building. Even then, they would only power it for a short time.
I remember Tom Scott once explained wonderfully how these devices would be impossible without using physics. To paraphrase, imagine there was a power bar that was able supply an infinite amount of energy to other things but had the ability to be plugged into itself. Eventually the power would get so high that it wouldn't be able to handle it and it'd become a bomb.
so i took a course on energy sources and their efficiency in chemical engineering (grad course) and the only "spinning" principle that exists is the fact you can STORE energy within a spinning wheel that rotates extremely quickly but it loses a whopping 20-30% of its stored energy per hour... the claim in the VSL violates the first law of thermodynamica as you said
The power grid is very complex, challenging to manage, and always a concern from a national security perspective. If it was this simple to power a home, the electrical companies and governments just have as much incentive to build them, either as larger ones powering larger areas, or one for each house, as the 'creater' has to sell it
I am pretty sure that I just got an advertisement for this thing. I am glad somebody looked into it. The funny part is that this hack job operation of theirs has been going on for at least two years.
@@mmhck I wouldn't be surprised if they just sit on the info they collect for a while to allow the people who entered it to forget about it. They could then either use the card info themselves or sell it to someone else.
@Marion Stevens I wouldn't be too surprised on the latter. Emptying someone's bank account may not be lucrative depending on what's in the account, but you sell that information on the black market, and you could gain a noticeable profit.
I simply bought an inverter generator for 65% off at harbor freight. It was returned and was a mangers special. Its powerful enough to power my furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, a few lights and internet modems/wifi routers. Thats all I need to stay comfortable and alive. To simplify the system I got a long siphon hose that I can suck the fuel out of the vehicles if needed so I dont have to store fuel in tanks around the garage. Total cost.. -500$
Ok, maybe not in this universe, but In Dwarf Fortress, you can create a generator that powers itself with extra to spare (and mostly out of wood). Waterwheels provide power as long as they are built over running water, and you can connect a pump to provide flow. The pump requires less power than the output of a waterwheel. Players often call the result a "Dwarven Water Reactor".
I assume the e-book never existed (or if it did it was just filler) and that a bunch of people did charge backs, so the payment processor said nope and deny any transaction for them and the website is just still there. they probably have a bunch of other scams running at the same time (probably on the same webhost) and just keep paying for the domain/hosting and have not really noticed that that 1 scam is no longer working.
_"There's tons of conventional errors in the onscreen captions."_ On that note, this video's captions include the typo "peak your curiosity" (the correct spelling is "pique").
Hi Ken! This is my second video of yours I have watched and I must say - you are awesome, smart, brilliant and hilarious! I love it! Please keep up the great work. The other video I watched was about the Power Saver. It was great when you opened it up and discovered that it didn't have any of the components in it that its ad claimed it to have. Anyway, questions- Have you done any videos on any of the following: 1. The Tesla Coil power generator that supposedly kept Buffalo, N.Y. and Artesia, N.M. powered during devastating power outages? 2. Small, ground mounted solar panels that can be installed in your backyard to power your house? 3. Devices that purport to eliminate "planned obsolescence" on e.g. smartphones? 4. What is "planned obsolescence"? 5. If you have not, would you please do them or, at least, consider doing them? Thanks. (Edit) I will have more ideas for you to try out in the future.
OK, this is what I concocted; a heavy truck wheel sitting on an axle mounted with ball-bearings..on the one side a12v dc motor connected to 4x12v golf cart batteries in parallel. on the other side of the axle, an alternator charging the batteries. The trick is the circuit-box I got with a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W programmed to start the motor when the wheel drops beyond ideal speed. 230v ac derived from batteries via inverter. All this boxed into a decent-looking container and also additionally charged with a 1x2m solar panel. Obviously this won't run forever thanks to Isaac Newton, but it keeps my setup running during these pesky load-shedding times here in South Africa. .. 😉
@@lasskinn474, that is how they work, I suggest Kyle hill’s video called, “It’s time to switch to nuclear power.” For more information. He is a great creator.
@@TheDenOfTimbsStudios rtgs just need a way to get rid of the heat on one side somehow, irs a hear source and a peltier basically so they work in spacecraft no water necessary for the cooling
In the ad before watching this video, it was a scam ad claiming to fix your vision using some of the techniques used in other scam videos that you described. The scam was EyeOptics. Thanks Ken for nurturing our bullsh!t detectors!
I'm so conflicted about this. On 1 hand I support our amazing constitution and on the other hand I want to see all scammers physically tortured like they did to Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones with no mercy given and weeks of the worst pain imaginable. I want them released back into Society so scared of others that they never look anyone in the eye again. I think scammers are actually worse than someone who murders out of Rage in the spur of the moment.
Selling something that is scientifically impossible falls beyond the realm of free speech IMO. He is just taking advantage of dumb people and while they are dumb, they don't deserve to be conned.
My mom doesn't remember a thing from high school so she'd fall for this as she fell for the MMS scam (A very dangerous scam to fall for as it involves mixing chlorites with acids).
My left hand usually generates quite a bit of energy as soon a the Mrs goes to work in the morning. I should make my own 30 minute video and send that to Ray probably wouldn't go on for 30 minutes though.
I knew it was fake from the beginning but I really enjoyed your video and I totally agree, you need to check your credit card, they may only wanted to get your details, lots of these awful scammers out there.
while your payment may have declined it's possible it's just a way to nab your card details to ring it dry... so if it does decline be on the look out if any funds start to vanish.
The closest thing to a perpetual motion machine that does something useful are the Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos clocks. They don't need winding instead harvesting energy from atmospheric pressure changes and can run for years without maintenance. So you can build something that spins, but there's no way it could power any external device.
@@LarsPallesen The first law of thermodynamics specifies energy can not be created or destroyed under ordinary means (circumstances is sometimes a word used in place of means). You and I don't have the right equipment to create or destroy energy, but some scientists assuming that they have the right equipment can create energy out of nothing. Here are examples from a quick google search "For example, some physicists have proposed that quantum fluctuations in the vacuum of space can create particles and antiparticles out of nothing, which then annihilate each other and return to nothing. This phenomenon is called quantum vacuum fluctuation or quantum foam. Another example is the inflationary epoch, a brief period of extremely rapid expansion that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. During this period, the energy density of the universe remained constant, while the volume of space increased exponentially. This means that new energy was created out of nothing, violating the first law of thermodynamics."
The common sense. If it was possible to build a perpetual motion machine with some special know-how, why would the inventor sell the information at $49 instead of opening a private power station and selling power to the grid?
It is still currently more cost effective to install solar panels, a few leisure batteries and a 12/24v rail. Most things, like lighting, powering usb ports, speakers etc can easily be run directly by 12v (even some small appliances like routers). With a decent enough inverter, you can even run heavier loads temporarily. At the very least, you can keep a pc running for enough time to save everything, and shut down for a few hundred pounds. You can run a 12v fridge as long as you're able to afford a decent enough set up.
The painful thing is that you have to put so much more effort to debunk this then the person originally put into building the scam- because it doesn't have to be a slick scam to fool enough people to be profitable.
Sometimes I feel like governments around the world should just set up a bounty for these efforts in exposing scams by suing the manufacturer to oblivion while giving the person who first submitted the report a bounty reward or something
It is theoretically possible to create a spinning disc scenario where it spins continuously. (lets take out the friction of ballbearings from this, because frictionless bearings do exist) ...But heres the thing; Its likely powered by the perpetual spinning of the Earth and relies on Flywheel technology where you have to 'charge' the flywheel initially by inducing energy from an outside source (pulling a rip chord for example). BUT, the main problem with this 'perpetual generator' in this video is simple physics. In order to convert that perpetual motion into usable electricity you are introducing friction of somesort which will induce drag, the wheel will lose the energy you introduced to initialise it and it will slow down very quickly exponentially from there. It doesnt matter how you 'produce' energy from whatever the device is, you are still extracting the same ammount of energy from it that it needs to perpetuate. Scaling it up will make no difference at all because the bigger the wheel, logorithmically, the less percentage of the Earths energy it makes use of ...and that, albeit looked at slightly differently, is actually still the cog principle.
I think it might be more about getting active credit-card data honestly. Like. Anyone can buy a slew of CC numbers that may be blocked or abandoned, but if a 'customer' tries to use a CC number, than you get one that is most likely Active.
I love how people will ignore that fact though... "No the power companies are just hiding it from us to make more money!" Well if someone could create an infinite power generator don't you think a power company would be selling them?... And they also ignore the fact that power companies help people buy LED light bulbs, and power efficient heat/AC/ water heaters, blowing away the "power company greed" thing...
Wanna save cash on electricity? Use them accordingly! Don't waste your energy by plugging in unnecessary appliances! Turn off lights when not in use, get a chest freezer and store long term perishables on it and change your kitchen refrigerator to a smaller, one or two door model instead of the energy intensive 3 comparment ones, Get some basic UPS units and solar roof and/or wind/water turbines, if you can invest in such financially and/or legally (especially for the turbines). Not only you'll have a safeguard if your area suffers a blackout, you'll can also cut the amount of electricity you need on being hooked up to your main power line, reducing overall load. Discharge the energy on monthly or bi monthly basis to keep the UPS system healthy by using their stored power, and/or hook up small appliances to the system to avoid relative energy loss from idle discharge. Look up information about creating UPS Power Backup system for your home, it's relatively easy now knowing the current affordability of Solar panels and batteries. And always remember, There's no such thing as a Free Energy Device
The Way You look away from your de Camera is very seamless. But if you point at something that you were referring to in the same direction that you're not looking at the camera it will look a little bit less scripted. But to be honest, your videos are surprisingly pleasing, and it makes me want more. I also learned a lot from these companies that are constantly trying to rip all of us off. I think a lot about my family members that could be going through the same. So I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you and I subscribed! 👍
The scam videos are awesome and all but for me the best part of Krazy Kens videos are the breakdown and ultimate humiliation of these fake companies/people. LOVE IT

The hardest part of building a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the batteries.
@@theguywithone Lol, getting close to something that is physically impossible, sure. They are just good at hiding the actual energy source.
@@theguywithone They all have batteries hidden, You cannot get energy from magnets any more than from springs.
@@theguywithone What are you referring to to be close to impossible? A motion machine that works longer without external influences just works longer.
We already build flywheels with magnetic bearings in the vacuum. they can spin for an extremely long time, but not forever. Friction will always play a role since a perfect vacuum is also impossible to achieve.
Or if you want to be really sneaky, where to hide the radioactive isotope. Devices powered by radioactive decay can last for decades. In fact, that's how some pacemakers of old worked.

Honestly, if more people would pay attention in their high school physics classes instead of complaining about how they'll "never use this information", it'd be a lot harder for scams like these to get off the ground.
There's really no excuse for anyone getting out of grade school without understanding this at a basic level.
I once dreamed up the same concept with a motor and two generators. I was 9 years old and was quickly taught that such devices are impossible.
I was watching a math video the other day, and some guy was railing on fractions, saying that he doesn't understand why they even teach them in school because they're never ever used afterwards, then he legit said he wasted HALF of his life in a school that taught him nothing... 😂
Then I commented saying well I guess I know who's cake NOT to ever try, being that you must have a meltdown and seize when you see 2 1/2 cups of flour etc.
@@ryancraig2795go to the comments section of some of these PM devices, and engage with one of their rabid defenders... Someone who by the way has yet to build the device they're vehemently defending... You'll be amazed how delusional people are... And angry.

The simplest way to debunk this product is to realize if it is as easy and inexpensive to make as claimed, why aren’t they selling the generator instead of the plans? They’d make a killing selling a generator that was capable of even a fraction of what is claimed.
Bingo! There's probably a good reason why the 'inventors' of these perpetual motion machines ever only sell the plans for building them and not the machine itself.
Because then when it doesn't work, it's your fault for not building it "properly" instead of theirs. They can't sell perpetual motion machines because they're impossible to make.
That and the oil industry's MIBs keep smashing up his stuff. That's why he had to go undercover as a 45 year old geography teacher. Really, Skynet sent him back in time and he hasn't even been born yet.

People get roped in by these scams all the time. I know someone who was convinced he could build a "perpetual motion generator" some years ago. It's so hard to break it to people when they've been taken by scams. I hate seeing them crestfallen.
Most of the people I see buy in so much they won't let go, they reason big gub'nment is shutting it down to save business. People bring up "Brown's Gas" regularly (the car than "ran" on water) as the only owner died while being used by investors for refusing to share details of it, it's put down as a kill. Same with the people who mistake Tesla's idea of free electricity as being somehow capable of forming it out of thin air for free, when he actually meant using a generator and transmitting it to people for free
I’m the opposite I love seeing idiots caught by scams. Makes you realise that no matter how stupid you think you are… your never THAT stupid
a perpetual motion machine kit could be a fun exercise to do if it just advertised it as an activity. maybe at best it could power a led light for a time.
It's easier to fool someone, than convince them they have been fooled.
I saw someone in a TH-cam comments section who couldn't understand why electric car manufacturers don't put wind turbines on the front of the cars to charge their batteries while driving
I was in the aerospace industry for thirty years. Absolutely no such thing as a free lunch in the power generation field. Fun fact, the more complicated the device is the more maintenance it requires. No such thing as maintenance free. Even a bicycle will fall apart without it. Different systems degrade at different rates according to environment and use plus duty cycle.
Scammers like this need to face serious prison time.
Thanks for producing this video. Hopefully it will save some poor slob from being taken advantage of.
What are you talking about? It has three wooden wheels and uses the rotation principle. Clearly you've never used a Turboencabulator...
Is that why some aerospace equipment still relies on push-buttons and dials rather than touchscreens and complex computer parts? Less liability
@@snakewithapen5489That's more to do with the lengthy process of getting complex stuff approved to fly in the air. And overall makes it harder to systematically prove safety and redundancy. It's easier to show how and why a switch might fail, versus a whole computer. Although there's generally a lot of motivation to switch from mechanical systems to electrical, not the least because they're often easier to maintain. For example, electric conductors don't experience the same wear and tear as mechanical systems. It's also more lightweight.
The upcoming drone episode will be fun. I used to work for a company that sold those (plus those swamp coolers, the monoculars, and the fake watches). The fake drone was the biggest piece of junk ever. It was so weak, even with the slightest gust of wind, it would drift away, even if going full throttle against the wind. I ended up crashing it into a neighbors apartment while testing. Shitty camera and useless app too. It was advertised 4k and we had footage in the marketing made by professional thousand dollar drones, like zipping through traffic, over cliffs, etc. but the thing could not even fly straight in a residential street.

when I was a kid I tried the same thing... I liked taking things apart and playing with batteries. I hooked 2 motors up to each other. oddly they'd never keep running without a battery, and the battery died faster than if it was just turning a single motor.
then the "magnet motor" idea came to my mind, and I learned when I got older that it was also impossible.

It's true. You only need a couple wooden wheels and cogs to generate INFINITE POWAH. Literally every single country of the world just still uses conventional, highly complicated power plants for the luls.
I don't know about infinite, but there is enough energy in that wood to cook a sausage or two if you got a small fire going.
Great technological innovation alongside taping magnets to a fan and holding another magnet next to them and plugging an extension cord into itself
lul, the concept of energy generation on a self feeding loop would involve some how improving efficiency to an over combined 100%... which would involve either something extensively massive that manages to bootstraps a primer intake into excessive bursts & exceptional strict limiters to prevent parts from moving faster than they should.
Then whe you've hit enough of a critical mass at one end, that simple magnet generation a along wires can generate enough power to fully trigger the start of the 'loop', putting continous trickle charge bursty batteries meant just to power the intake while also recieving charge, would complete the look and you use another bootstrap with what's left of the power and methods used for this would be pure benefit outside of the exceptionally obvious downtime for Maintenace. because materials wear & tear.
Though what I find absolutely funny is that we could power a boot strapping stepping stone with slower high torgque LONG magnent series, and build bankds of batteries off of it that burst into higher compacity batteries, and step up again. The problem we have is storage & Transmission of 'power' on a realistic scale.
High enough torque could prove ... interesting in results, if we use light enough & strong enough magnets, on a long enough partitioned cylinder that also has lead barriers to help mitigate the flow of eletricity not effecting other wires next to it. Seems to me, that the physics of spinning metal like things along a cylinder could be overcome with strong enough light weight material & scaling down of an output target.
-I find Dams interesting if I had to be honest.. but frankly the tought of 'what if we made the force required to spin turbines Low enough that the consumer sector could reasonably turn it, just with a lower out put.

My grandfather used to invent things. One of his targets was a perpetual motion machine, of course he never made one but I have found memories of looking at his attempts in his workshop on his farm in North Dakota. He died in 1959 so his work is pretty. much history. He discovered what most folks know, there is no such thing as free energy. One of his machine's was a small electric motor that powered a car generator (alternators were yet to be invented) It did run for some time once started using a 6 volt car battery, but eventually friction overcame the power and it came to a stop. He did invent some neat things though, he was a very smart man in his day.
Wow, this reminds me of that old scam, Steorn, from a bunch of years ago. I had so many people showing me their "demo" that just looked like a kinetic desk toy 🤣 Though, I don't think they had 2(4?) cogwheels, so maybe that's why they didn't survive.
Maybe it was the lack of wooden wheels that killed them.
This sounds a little like KERS in Formula 1, but KERS uses excess electricity generated by the car engine to keep a flywheel spinning (or capacitors charged). The driver can then use the electrical energy to provide a quick power boost, which slightly increases the power of the car engine for a few seconds.
KERS, however, only provides around 50 or 60KW, which would be enough to power a few devices for a relatively short time, but likely wouldn't' scale. I don't know the physics, but I should imagine the flywheel or capacitors you'd need to power an entire house would be huge, and would possibly need their own house sized building. Even then, they would only power it for a short time.
I remember Tom Scott once explained wonderfully how these devices would be impossible without using physics.
To paraphrase, imagine there was a power bar that was able supply an infinite amount of energy to other things but had the ability to be plugged into itself. Eventually the power would get so high that it wouldn't be able to handle it and it'd become a bomb.
so i took a course on energy sources and their efficiency in chemical engineering (grad course) and the only "spinning" principle that exists is the fact you can STORE energy within a spinning wheel that rotates extremely quickly but it loses a whopping 20-30% of its stored energy per hour... the claim in the VSL violates the first law of thermodynamica as you said
The power grid is very complex, challenging to manage, and always a concern from a national security perspective.
If it was this simple to power a home, the electrical companies and governments just have as much incentive to build them, either as larger ones powering larger areas, or one for each house, as the 'creater' has to sell it

Ok, maybe not in this universe, but In Dwarf Fortress, you can create a generator that powers itself with extra to spare (and mostly out of wood). Waterwheels provide power as long as they are built over running water, and you can connect a pump to provide flow. The pump requires less power than the output of a waterwheel. Players often call the result a "Dwarven Water Reactor".

OK, this is what I concocted; a heavy truck wheel sitting on an axle mounted with ball-bearings..on the one side a12v dc motor connected to 4x12v golf cart batteries in parallel. on the other side of the axle, an alternator charging the batteries. The trick is the circuit-box I got with a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W programmed to start the motor when the wheel drops beyond ideal speed. 230v ac derived from batteries via inverter. All this boxed into a decent-looking container and also additionally charged with a 1x2m solar panel.

On 1 hand I support our amazing constitution and on the other hand I want to see all scammers physically tortured like they did to Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones with no mercy given and weeks of the worst pain imaginable. I want them released back into Society so scared of others that they never look anyone in the eye again. I think scammers are actually worse than someone who murders out of Rage in the spur of the moment.
Selling something that is scientifically impossible falls beyond the realm of free speech IMO. He is just taking advantage of dumb people and while they are dumb, they don't deserve to be conned.
I just ordered my digital copy and I’m super excited!
My mom doesn't remember a thing from high school so she'd fall for this as she fell for the MMS scam (A very dangerous scam to fall for as it involves mixing chlorites with acids).
My left hand usually generates quite a bit of energy as soon a the Mrs goes to work in the morning. I should make my own 30 minute video and send that to Ray probably wouldn't go on for 30 minutes though.
I knew it was fake from the beginning but I really enjoyed your video and I totally agree, you need to check your credit card, they may only wanted to get your details, lots of these awful scammers out there.
while your payment may have declined it's possible it's just a way to nab your card details to ring it dry... so if it does decline be on the look out if any funds start to vanish.
The closest thing to a perpetual motion machine that does something useful are the Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos clocks. They don't need winding instead harvesting energy from atmospheric pressure changes and can run for years without maintenance. So you can build something that spins, but there's no way it could power any external device.
The first law of thermodynamics, specifies "under ordinary means". We can't do it, but with the right equipment it can be achieved.
What can be achieved with the right equipment?
@@LarsPallesen The first law of thermodynamics specifies energy can not be created or destroyed under ordinary means (circumstances is sometimes a word used in place of means). You and I don't have the right equipment to create or destroy energy, but some scientists assuming that they have the right equipment can create energy out of nothing.
Here are examples from a quick google search
"For example, some physicists have proposed that quantum fluctuations in the vacuum of space can create particles and antiparticles out of nothing, which then annihilate each other and return to nothing. This phenomenon is called quantum vacuum fluctuation or quantum foam. Another example is the inflationary epoch, a brief period of extremely rapid expansion that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. During this period, the energy density of the universe remained constant, while the volume of space increased exponentially. This means that new energy was created out of nothing, violating the first law of thermodynamics."
The common sense.
If it was possible to build a perpetual motion machine with some special know-how, why would the inventor sell the information at $49 instead of opening a private power station and selling power to the grid?
Your the best...old fashion basic logic, hard-facts and common sense. Thank you.
It is still currently more cost effective to install solar panels, a few leisure batteries and a 12/24v rail. Most things, like lighting, powering usb ports, speakers etc can easily be run directly by 12v (even some small appliances like routers). With a decent enough inverter, you can even run heavier loads temporarily. At the very least, you can keep a pc running for enough time to save everything, and shut down for a few hundred pounds. You can run a 12v fridge as long as you're able to afford a decent enough set up.
The painful thing is that you have to put so much more effort to debunk this then the person originally put into building the scam- because it doesn't have to be a slick scam to fool enough people to be profitable.
Sometimes I feel like governments around the world should just set up a bounty for these efforts in exposing scams by suing the manufacturer to oblivion while giving the person who first submitted the report a bounty reward or something
It is theoretically possible to create a spinning disc scenario where it spins continuously. (lets take out the friction of ballbearings from this, because frictionless bearings do exist)
...But heres the thing; Its likely powered by the perpetual spinning of the Earth and relies on Flywheel technology where you have to 'charge' the flywheel initially by inducing energy from an outside source (pulling a rip chord for example). BUT, the main problem with this 'perpetual generator' in this video is simple physics. In order to convert that perpetual motion into usable electricity you are introducing friction of somesort which will induce drag, the wheel will lose the energy you introduced to initialise it and it will slow down very quickly exponentially from there. It doesnt matter how you 'produce' energy from whatever the device is, you are still extracting the same ammount of energy from it that it needs to perpetuate. Scaling it up will make no difference at all because the bigger the wheel, logorithmically, the less percentage of the Earths energy it makes use of ...and that, albeit looked at slightly differently, is actually still the cog principle.
I think it might be more about getting active credit-card data honestly.
Like. Anyone can buy a slew of CC numbers that may be blocked or abandoned, but if a 'customer' tries to use a CC number, than you get one that is most likely Active.
There is a giant ad right under this video and its for this very product! Oh my lord lol
Note in the clip of the “motor” running, the belt driven part on the right is just a AC compressor from a car lol
My first question about anything like this is, "If the idea's so good, why haven't you sold it to a major company/investor?"
Great video Ken , i love the impossible , power is never free or everyone would be using it .
I love how people will ignore that fact though... "No the power companies are just hiding it from us to make more money!"
Well if someone could create an infinite power generator don't you think a power company would be selling them?...
And they also ignore the fact that power companies help people buy LED light bulbs, and power efficient heat/AC/ water heaters, blowing away the "power company greed" thing...
I would love a deep dive into who that guy actually is and a face to face interview with him.
Wanna save cash on electricity?
Use them accordingly! Don't waste your energy by plugging in unnecessary appliances! Turn off lights when not in use, get a chest freezer and store long term perishables on it and change your kitchen refrigerator to a smaller, one or two door model instead of the energy intensive 3 comparment ones,
Get some basic UPS units and solar roof and/or wind/water turbines, if you can invest in such financially and/or legally (especially for the turbines). Not only you'll have a safeguard if your area suffers a blackout, you'll can also cut the amount of electricity you need on being hooked up to your main power line, reducing overall load. Discharge the energy on monthly or bi monthly basis to keep the UPS system healthy by using their stored power, and/or hook up small appliances to the system to avoid relative energy loss from idle discharge.
Look up information about creating UPS Power Backup system for your home, it's relatively easy now knowing the current affordability of Solar panels and batteries.
And always remember, There's no such thing as a Free Energy Device
Love that it said “Kensored” instead of “Censored” in the opening bit. Nice touch~ 😂
The Way You look away from your de Camera is very seamless. But if you point at something that you were referring to in the same direction that you're not looking at the camera it will look a little bit less scripted. But to be honest, your videos are surprisingly pleasing, and it makes me want more. I also learned a lot from these companies that are constantly trying to rip all of us off. I think a lot about my family members that could be going through the same. So I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you and I subscribed! 👍
The scam videos are awesome and all but for me the best part of Krazy Kens videos are the breakdown and ultimate humiliation of these fake companies/people. LOVE IT
