Why not? >_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I have objectively investigated claims of so-called "free energy devices" for a number of years (despite the good natured rebuffs of some of my physicist friends; I can see the laughter in their eyes, as if I were a child speaking of Santa to an adult; perhaps I am) I have poured over many patents, devoured many books on the subject, and have actually built the devices that are possible to build and fall within my budget and engineering capabilities. My conclusion thus far is that no one need worry about the government trying to cover up any of these devices, for they do not work. It may be a remote possibility that all the information that is available to a private citizen is already known to be useless by the government, but do they hide the very useful, secret devices for their own use? Not likely, unless they really have stolen or found some alien technology which can somehow transcend the known laws of physics (which is, in my opinion, just another scary bedtime story; if they have amazing technology, it was designed and built right here on this planet). ;-) In my tests, I have found four basic reasons why "free energy devices" do not work : 1) Some contain completely theoretical "black box" components that no one can actually construct. 2) Some produce effects well within the limits of known physics, but for some reason, these effects have been misunderstood and /or misinterpreted by the authors (i.e., they produce voltage--common static electricity---which does not contain enough amperage to actually DO anything except shock someone on the ear; as for running your home's electrical system, forget it). 3) Some use known technology to produce known effects [i.e., Hans Coler's "Stromerzeuger" (circa 1925) which could "create many times the input" of a small amount of electricity; on further investigation, this turned out to be a simple transformer, perhaps amazing in 1925, but very basic electronics today; obviously the authors didn't know basic electronics; I discovered the truth in about 10 minutes of research). 4) They are fakes (i.e., Keely's "sympathetic vibration" devices which were said to do everything from curing disease to producing almost limitless free energy; however, my jury is still out on his "hydro-vacuo motor," which supposedly uses the cavitation of water--the formation of vacuums in a fluid-- to propel a simple flywheel motor) . According to the evidence I have amassed thus far, we won't be transcending the laws of known physics anytime soon, despite what many proponents of "free energy" say. But, like a child at Christmas time, I'm still looking up and listening for the "sleigh bells" of free energy.
