  • Its a 2 stroke! ;)

  • You really don;t have to try it yourself to find out that these things don't work.

    It is more fun to know WHY these things don;t work.

    This whole free energy movement is more a religion than sciense.

    If you want free energy, why not just pray for it. 

  • no imagino mi coxe haciendo ese ruido!

  • that looks idiotic

  • jejejejejeje

  • Funny but good! Ingenious!

  • He could easily be onto something :) It needs to propel itself once going. Maybe a different shape would work, slight oval would allow for a surge of momentum rather than steady moenttum which a circle provides, just another idea I have no engineering knowledge at all.

  • Средство от бурундуков. Заибуться смотреть.

  • How many times did Edison fail before making a viable light bulb? You're argument is invalid.

  • Ohh another moron machine!

  • This is really fascinating im glad someones working on stuff like this with magnets Ive always wanted to

  • Idea not idear

  • Now I can actually produce energy while jerking off! thanks!

  • what the fuck did i just watch.

  • what the fuck did i just watch.

  • Hundred of peoples tried and faild. Why you want to be one of them?

  • cool

    when you get it up to about 3300 rpm, stuff your face into it

  • God knows until 16th century how much money, time and energy is spent for

    perpetual machines by different so called inventors.

    Before you lose all your money, please seat for a moment and repeat with me

    " WHERE IS THIS EXTRA ENERGY COME FROM ? "

    A fixed magnetic field has zero energy.

  • very cool.

  • hey man, wouldnt this work if the magnets polarity went NSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNS esc... Mabie some shielding on half the diameter of the magrets on the seesaw would provide neutral repelling and attraction and it could infact work. "If you dont try you dont know, do you".

  • This is not free energy... You need to add power (from the dude moving the seesaw piece) for it to work. All you retards screaming FREE ENERGY are stupid :P

  • @McFuckNuggets FREE ENERGY

  • @Gadsbodikins lol

  • @McFuckNuggets i think the whole aim is that you get free power as the concept is that you get more energy from it than you put into it. Just look around youtube, you will see many people have used a battery to kick start their contraptions and then disconected the powersuply and the generator was self sustaining. To add to that, you will find that some have even powered upto 2000w from it without the generator slowing down.

  • @oliverjamescarr I would like to see a link to these "devices" as all "non-theoretical" sciences go against the concept of self-contained powered devices, let alone any that generate power beyond their own consumption.

  • @McFuckNuggets i agree. you gotta pay the poor potato-peelers who has to move the device.

  • that is a vey nice idea:) what if you tried to convert the flywheel's motion into electrical power, power that could be used to move that rod? Good luck

  • Free Energy is real and its here! The Oil companies are doing everything in their power to stop these information. If you want a Free energy machine do a search in youtube for the LT MAGNET MOTOR , Join the revolution!

  • I am impressed-even if I do not understand how it functions.

  • Nice way to take a whole bunch of kinetic potential, store it, and parcel it out later.

  • just saying that 2 kids on a seesaw could charge parents phones while doing so, or make a lightshow, cool idea

  • Just a thought, Maybe instead of having the seesaw, you should incorporate some sort of timing gear operating each of the two moving magnets and the gear would be controlled by the wheel. Just a theory...

  • Quite interesting... IF you can't find a way to make it work on it's own, motorize it and sell it as a novelty toy.

  • I know! Get a bunch of gears same sized under the central shaft and under fastened spinning magnets and then put it together so when the magnets roll by the ones around them wil spin in the correct direction.

  • You have to ad some kind of cam wheel below the thing that simutaniously lifts each magnetasit spins by.

  • i heard that sound anyway LOL........

    nice igea

  • che boiata

  • I invented a breakthrough energy source which violates the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation. I am looking for $30 000 for a prototype and $3M for patents. Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200 in mass production, value of the energy produced per year $5400.

  • That’s right. Also energy has mass, mass has matter, thoughts have energy = Attitudes matter

  • nice video

    check out my oscillator

  • i didin't even saw the whole comments, but I'm sure people are talking about "fake", "it's not true", bla bla bla, about perpetual energy, or perpetual moving machine... but believe or not: people wouldn't know that earth is spherycal if everyone in the world listened to comments like "fake", "it's not", bla blabla, just like you all guys are doing right now. so believe or not: this can happen!

  • @TheCommando2000 the earth is not spherical, it's an oblate spheroid :)

  • why not have a circular plate that uses all magnets as it wobbles on its centre pin axis. And have all magnet arms connect to the plate so the magnets at opposite ends through the centre of the circle are always at the opposite heights necessary.

  • piensa en el efecto de los caballos de un carrusel, suben y bajan mientras gira la plataforma, es un idea para que gire solo, sin embargo solo necesitaría un empujón.

  • Hey guy...did you tried to use a different kind of central disk?? Maybe with a trapezoidal rotating form, you can reach a ful lworking model...i'm working on one by myself buy is hard to find some pieces here...try it out...since you already have a model ready, will be easier to make a little improvement and get this perpetual motion done...

    Tell me if it works and good luck...

  • add some blades on it and grab a twig or something lol

  • Sprinkle it with a mixture of crushed unicorn horns and powdered fairy testicles. Makes mine work brilliantly.

  • try to put something below the disc, so when it spins it lift the other side of the pins

  • OH YEAH! that makes sense! as it spins. it lifts the magnets up and causes the other side to lower, pushing the disc around further. then it does it to the other side.

    it'd take a long time to get it just right though

  • I was going to say the same thing, some kind of gears or pulleys, to move the arm.

  • Please let me know how it comes along. Its the least I would desire..

    Thanks & Good Luck again!!! - Greg

  • Research: magnetic shielding- research how a piston works- get them down, apply those principles to your model then do it on a bigger scale! Walla! You've utilized the stator along with getting it out of the way for "magnet #2 to pass it magnetic field to get ready to be pushed!!!"

    PRESS ON!!!! IT CAN BE DONE-

    wd40- he didn't get it until the 40 made attempt... Hershey, didn't quit.. and Einstein didn't

    "A wise man excepts guidance, while a fool denies it."

    Proverbs

    God Bless

  • Your close, but your problem is this.. When magnet #1 on the rotor (clear disc) is being repelled by the stator (your hand magnet) .. magnet #2 is being repelled as well.. Because when you look at a diagram of how magnetic fields are shaped, although its the (lets say +) on stator magnet aka your hand magnet... It will of course push the same pole (Magnet #1 on rotor) but when the next one in line comes up it is resisted the opposite way because your field on your stator magnet.. **************

  • I disagree. you can know something without wasting time trying it. I'll never make a tin can full of air go up a hill on it's own then comeback to the start position on it's own. I haven't tried but I do know.

  • I just had a revelation and i'd like u tot try it. U might put a wider disc below the main disc and stick another magnet , in a position opposite with the other magnets so it will move the balance

  • Your idea would just put load on the disc as well as add friction to it and would therefore lose energy.

  • You shoud youse some weights or somthing like that, so you woudent need the hand.

  • "If you don't try, you don't know, do you?" That's what entrepreneurs and great scientists have in common - they all try stuff before knowing it'll work.

  • wrong...

  • @StrongerMagnets

    i agree, but where do you stop or is it perpetual?

  • Thank you for the demonstration!

  • "I don't know if it's valid concept or not..."

    Of course it's not a valid concept - it's only going round because of the energy you're feeding it from your hands.

    I can understand your desire to give it a go, but you should understand the difference between valid experimentation and simply wasting your time and money.

    The laws of thermodynamics are tricky blighters and you won't get round them using magnets.

  • "The laws of thermodynamics are tricky blighters and you won't get round them using magnets. "How are you so certain????

  • Wow! a nerd!

  • ".....if you don't try, you don't know...do ya... really", beautifully said.

  • XD nice.

  • U finkig that u are funny??

  • I like you last comment friend. agreed!

  • Well it will be helpful when you want to isolate the force that causes the stuff to move from the rest of the moving parts

  • "If you don't try...you don't know"

    In the case of ANY perpetual motion machine, we do know that it will NEVER work...so don't waste time trying.

    The only reason you machine turns a few times is because you inject energy into it with your hand....when you stop doing that, it stops. This is not because of friction or assymetries in the design...

  • ...(continuation).

    It is because it has no reason to move if you don't inject it with energy (no more reason than a glass sitting on the top of the table) It will keep behaving this way NO MATTER how you rearrange the magnets and the mechanics.

  • @orion1077

    I am completely bemused by the number of YTers who think that they can get round thermodynamics simply by arranging magnets in a particular pattern.

    Well done to you for pointing out their error - and shame to the people who gave you negative votes.

    Hey everybody - over unity machines are impossible - stop wasting your time and do something useful instead.

  • If everybody took the attitude of not trying because in their infinite wisdom, they didn't waste time because they just knew it wouldn't work, science would be the poorer. What about serendipitous discoveries? You know, like Columbus discovering America while looking for the Orient? Goodyear, accidentally dropping rubber and sulphur on a hotplate, also Fleming & penicillin, Rontgen's X-rays, Botox (Hmm), who knows what might be discovered if only by chance? More home experiments please!

  • With Columbus, Goodyear, etc, no one had done the experiments before, and there were no well established scientific laws stating that what they were doing was impossible.

    By contrast, people have been trying to build over unity machines for 1000s of years WITHOUT SUCCESS. The experiments have all been done and the results are in: OU doesn't work. The best any home experimenter can do now is to confirm the same failures in a futile waste of time, money and resources.

  • You are missing the point. Tinkering with stuff can lead to observations and discoveries that wouldn't have happened if folks just watched TV all day. I personally applaud anyone who goes to the trouble to do this stuff. It's all learning and even if it doesn't work, they have learned something in a way you can't get from books or websites. Also, just because it isn't done at MIT or result in a published paper, it's perfectly valid to the person doing it and interesting for the viewer. 5*****'s

  • Given the number of OU postings on YT, it seems to me that for many people this obsession goes beyond "tinkering" and into the land of delusion.

    It's a great science fiction story: some guy in his attic builds a time machine/matter transporter/weather controller/warp drive/anti-gravity or whatever, but this is the real world and you guys need a reality check!

  • While I agree that some are either obsessed and others seem to use YT to sell their wares for those prepared to try but look at the positive side. Some, not all will learn some engineering skills, have to read up physics, may even get an interest and go to college, inspire their kids, use their brain. I'm surprised that someone who favourited 'To be over' should have such a negative attitude! "Do not suffer through the game of chance that: plays

    Always doors to lock away your dreams"

  • Strange co-incidence - the closing bars of To Be Over were just playing as I saw your message had come in! Great song - great video!

    Meanwhile... I played with magnets when I was young and I got a feeling for them and what they can do. I went to college and got a Physics degree. I learned the difference between force, energy and power; I learned that magnetism is a result of Relativity on moving electric charges; I also learned that Yes is a great band and Relayer is their best album!

  • Yes, bought Relayer, must have been 1975! Saw them in Manchester a couple of years ago. I still find I can listen to Yes and enjoy it. It has a musical complexity that keeps it fresh. Anyway, while I don't expect a perpetual motion machine anytime soon, I enjoy watching how these guys try to solve the puzzle, with some engineering ingenuity. Just read some of the constructive comments, people are thinking - we need that today! Even some of the crass and witty comments deserve a grin.

  • @alanstarkie2001 Right on! it takes guts and a non-loser attitude to create something new and challenge the status quo.

  • @alanstarkie2001

    I agree with you, we got to try. But when a system defies apparent and clear rules of physics isn't it worthless?

    Today Scientists can measure the diameter of electron, put a robot in mars, build a robot not bigger than a

    molecule ... and you still insisting such a simple design is too complicated for them?

    Before doing anything I personally read the results of all experiences which has done in that field and getting some ideas. 

  • @vartatoosh Hi, I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me. When you say that "when a system defies apparent & clear rules of physics isn't it worthless?" I would only agree if you can assure me that our understanding of physics are now 100% complete & correct. I think this is unlikely. I personally carried out research that produced anomalous results that defied convention. That was more interesting than dabbling in what we know! I'm interested to find out what we don't yet know.

  • @alanstarkie2001 Great Benjamin Franklin quotes in that

    “I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.”

    “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

    “I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.”

  • @alanstarkie2001 You learn more from failures than you ever do from a success.

  • @alanstarkie2001

    name ONE recent invention in the field of energy technology that was the product of "tinkering in a garage by a person who has no real education".

  • @janjohandealgenman

    You Sir are a shit Cunt

  • @Kbarbarich1

    Am I wrong?

  • @alanstarkie2001 i couldnt have said it better myself, i applaud you.

  • But shit!! It is still fun to try and what if someone actually makes it work? That will tickle my fancy!!

  • A problem I can think of in the design is the disc wouldn't be very balanced because the disc's magnet are only on one half , putting stress on the axle (possibly). This is the way they make those vibrating motors in video game controllers (by putting lots of weight on only one side of the axle). So maybe if you put an equal amount of weight (and equally distributed) on the other side of the disc, it would be balanced.

    Yes, it's only a design that only goes at slow RPM, but just a thought.

  • I don't know that it would be strong enough to make an motor but it is a cool idea.

  • no its not a bad idea at all

  • Look at the way helicopters control their rotors & incorperate.

  • how u gonna set the accel??

  • guys u learn this in a high school physics class

    entropy aside...

    magnetic perpetual motion is not possible, forces are not energy. This is the same reason why we cannot harness gravity in the same way. To create energy from force something must undergo some sort of flux and change its position in space relative to the force, because it takes ENERGY to transfer something from one state of applied force to another. We cannot harness power from magnets more than the book sitting on your shelf

  • What about torque? One such magnetic device may in fact produce motion in high velocities, but could it really be used to move something, or lift weights? These devices are not like the electric engines, some of which can be quite powerful, and I don't trust such thing will ever be more than simple toys, fun to create but not practical to use.

  • "What about torque?"

    What about it? All the machines we've been discussing have been attempts to generate torque. However, all MUST rely on object approaching a magnetic pole and then moving away back to the starting position. The energy gained in moving towards is exactly balanced by the energy required to pulling away. The same applies for repulsion too.

  • A magnet has no more intrinsic energy than does a rubber band. Just because one cannot see a magnetic field does not make it more magical than a spring. These would-be magnetic motor inventors confuse force with energy. For a fairly good description of the problems they face search for "The Museum of Unworkable Devices."

  • Magnets are not a source of energy.

  • No they're not, but they are a source of force, force if correctly implemented can create power, and in turn energy. It's just a matter of harnessing said 'energy'.

  • Force is not energy. One might as well try making a motor out of rubber bands. They are cheaper.

  • Wind has force does it not? Harnessing it has become possible now through today's technology.

    Magnets aren't quite up to speed but I feel that one day, once applicated correctly, could quite possibly become very efficient means of energy.

  • Wind has momentum (mass and velocity). A force is experienced when it meets an object. Energy can be extracted with the concomitant loss of energy by the wind. A permanent magnet is just a spring. A bit of energy can be stored when you compress the field but one cannot get out any more energy than you put in when the field relaxes.

  • While I still both respect and acknowledge your point of view on the subject at hand I will still disagree with you.

    The fact is that I believe it is likely possible to create such a device that would channel this 'push of magnetism' if you would like to call it such.

  • 2ndKnight is right, and you're wrong. Magnets are just like springs, they don't have any intrinsic energy. Have you noticed that people don't bother trying to make free energy spring motors because they know it wouldn't work and it would look stupid and uncool. Just because you don't understand how magnetic fields store and return energy doesn't make them a source of energy. None of these damn magnet motors work - no amount of tweaking the magnets' positions will make them work.

  • (continued..)

    Magnets stationed around a centered object with the ability to tilt minute angles to increase speed of rotation once moving to create a gear like effect from said spinning motion would be enough to create some sort of turning geared motor. It's just a matter of finding the correct size and strength of magnets to efficiently make this device. Ideally they would be decently sized and quite powerful if expected to be moving a gear connected to a shaft.

  • Push implies the ability to perform work (energy). Work is force acting through distance. A permanent magnet acts only as a spring. A spring cannot push unless it has been first compressed so unless you provide some outside energy to compress these "springs", trying to extract energy from such a system is futile.

  • The fact that you are so anal retentive about wording is quite childish. Though you may think you sound intelligent, vocabulary is not the topic we are discussing. Scientists had a hard time understanding magnets and their energy, yes E-N-E-R-G-Y, when they first were looking at them from the point of view of other sources of energy. Now they know how and why magnets expend these forces.They made the correlation between electricity, magnets, and electromagnets.

  • I have link that would help you comprehend this better but I doubt you'd take the time to look it over.

    I will not be replying any further, as nice as I have been, your stubbornness is overwhelming. Though your ignorance is prevalent today, you will one day be put to shame. All inventions are laughed at in their early stages, but I bet you never wanted to be that guy. One last thing, you weren't the guy who invented horse blinders were you? You would have made a great spokesman.

  • "All inventions are laughed at" is such a trite saying brought out by every crackpot defending his megolomania. Most deserve to be laughed at. One way to stop the laughing is to prove it, and shut up whining about "all inventions are laughed out". Prove it and become the savior of the world, instead of just another ignorant crackpot.

  • Вот дэбил! Проще было ручку приделать к кругу и вращать вручную. Получилось бы тоже самое.

  • Have you realized yet that you have created a mechanical motor. The energy you put in to move the magnets is the energy that is rotating the disk, no more and a little less due to natural resistive forces from friction and imperfect timing.

    You have demonstrated how an AC single phase motor works. By alternating a magnetic field around a magnetic core. In a proper motor electricity generates the magnetic field that you are mechanically alternating.

  • Are you retarded?  Did you listen to his words or watch his other videos?

  • Nope, but you are just an asshole.

  • I'm an asshole for calling you out on making statements on a video that you didn't understand the point of?

    Listen to it and watch his other videos and you'll quickly understand why I called you a retard, idiot.

  • Interesting work. Keep fooling around, I just know we have all had the wool over our eyes since forever.

  • if you could find a way to mechanize the seesaw based on the spindle disc, it might just work

  • 744 PM - BLACKSBURG VA - Please contact me: Al Witherspoon

  • send a pm via youtube email

  • you should find a way to make that thing go up with the movement of the wheel :D

  • This design is very interesting. You still have to get around gravity and friction somehow. Alot of people are plan rude on this subject but overunity is the future.

  • It's a good try; but your still at square one as your moving it yourself. ;)

    I like the model itself though.

  • This is SEX

  • that's creative. lol. I like it

  • You can make door knocker!

  • Can you make operate on its own? That is, Without someone's hand to move the magnets?

  • i wouldn't knock the guy for trying

  • How about a cam mechanism to move the magnets towards and away from the wheel as it spins?

  • HA. Looks like something off Chitty Bang Bang. Stop wasting your time.... "If you don't try, you don't know"...... ??????????

    Er, yeah, I know. Lots of people know. It can't ever work. We know this without trying.

  • don't try and sail the world you'll fall off.... and we'll never put a man on the moon. th only people who dont want us to suceed are the people already in control of todays inventions and resources. fuck them. keep on trying!!!

  • You're confusing absolute laws of physics (which is what will ALWAYS prevent these ideas from working) with superstition and difficult engineering challenges.

    There were never any LAWS preventing sailing round the world or landing on the moon. There ARE laws (that ARE correct) preventing this silly sort of idea ever working.

    But I'd expect such confusion from a "believer".

  • we dint put a man on tha moon, that was shot in tha desert. we may have done so NOW tho, but tha first lunar landing was a hoax

  • where are you from?

  • Mars.

  • I applaud your efforts! It's a good concept and I'm sure it's making a little nutty because it would seem you're on the cusp of the thing taking off. sometime walking away form a project for a while will give your brain a chance to sort of "reset" and then re-approach again. Of course once you get it running the next step is practical application.I'm sure a tinker toy is not your ultimate goal.

  • No chance. Can't you just build a wind turbine, or a tide mill or something?

  • Clunkity clunk clunk.... don't do that, just.... don't do that, it's embarrassing

  • looks like a great setup for experimentation. Keep it up. It's people like you that find the next wheel.

  • Not likely. People who study the principles of these devices, and know their impossibilities. Will use their knowledge to invent real devices that actually work. That's why you won't find any scientists wasting their time on devices like this.

  • Come on Guys this is a GREAT concept. The seesaw has 2 permanent magnet right what he could do is remove the wheel place an electromagnet @ the top and bottom of each magnets on the seesaw. Use a microchip or a computer to switch them on/off to pull and repel the magnet as the magnets pass in midair up and down without touching anything place sets of coils on the side where the magnets passes. the induced current from coils stepup and stepdown on transformers to provide electricity

  • Hi Eltimple, Your principle is there. get rid of all magnets on perimeter which cannot jump/see-saw. This principle is similar to Troy Reed's "Surge magnetic motor car" but he died just before going into production. I believe his backer and cousin, Dennis Weaver (actor) died around the same time. Does anyone know how Troy Reed died ? search "magnet surge car"

  • take the other magnets away as they are slowing it down, then make the magnets on the disc mounted slightly different. half spiral sort of ...

  • people sayed you couldn't release the atomic energie.wake up sucker,it can be done

  • its a DC motor, cept your using your a seesaw action with magnets, instead of an electro magnet

  • hahah , this looks funny:) Why not to do some mechanic swich that will lower the magnes when the cicrle is rotating? The answer is: BECAUSE THIS IS IMPOSIBLE :)

  • You may not know the sciense, but no one else on youtube does eather. Love your attitude, best off luck man

  • You're not sure if it's a valid concept?

    Well, I'll fill you in. It's not a valid concept. It's just your "motor" working in reverse. You spin the wheel and the see-saw will move. You move the see-saw and the wheel will spin.

    Either way, you are providing the motive force with your hand. You could probably get rid of the magnets and find some way to do the same thing with strings attached to it and you pull the string instead of a magnet. Same thing.

    Wake up and smell the laws of physics.

  • It's people like you that keep us from improving, how thick do you have to be to say "everything i can't see myself isn't true"? Wake up, and smell the theory's of improvement

  • Quite the opposite. It is people like you, who are obviously quite intelligent, who waste their intelligence on things like this because they are ignorant of what is really happening with their machine. Use your creativity and intelligence working on an invention that has a real chance of succeeding and improving the world. The magnetic force does nothing different here than it would if you had elastic bands attached. Energy is conserved.

  • And who invented those things, did they not have a path of mockery to walk? Noone knows what an invention is going to change in the world, and they'r often the the strangest things.

  • Spoken like a true 'believer'.

  • Sssshhhtt, you are holding back evolution.

  • Headybrew trying to convince people that magnet motors won't work for the same reason gravity motors don't work is like beating your head against the wall. They just won't accept very basic laws of physics as being true or believe that by fiddling with a magnet, a bit of string and some tinfoil they will somehow unlock some magical endless supply of energy from nowhere while 1000's of scientist's somehow missed it. I swear, free energy should be considered a religion.

  • I can't believe people waste their time with this shit. I think it is a religion or very well may soon be.

  • Given how many people have tried to make this succeed I think it's fair to say it has no change of succeeding.

  • lol at the guys underneath .. you really think its global warming?

    its just our government trying to scare us again

    yeh its getting colder

    were due for another ice age anyway lol i hope we all die due to our own faults

    i will ride my bike till the day i die and if the planet die's while im alive im proud iv helped it along !!! :D

    nice concept

  • Very nice, nice quote by the way: "If you don't try, than you really don't know"

  • "the idea is to get it to work without the hand" haha, isnt that the idea behind any PMM?

  • wtf hes dumb haha , go to college hehe

  • Develop a cam on the disk that will oscillate the movable magnets and tune it to see if you can get it to run on its own power.

  • You mean perpetual motion... LOL

  • there is prolly a way something like this could work. even if not really PM. it would still be better than the 8% efficiency of the combustion engine. but the oil companies and the military-industrial complex that controls the guberment dont want the public to have access to clean, free energy. they want to continue to control us and keep us as slaves to the machine.

  • how long have we been using the same stupid old design of the combustion engine? how long? how much about the combustion engine has really changed? evry fcking thing else is innovated, updated, modernized, made better, more efficient. we just keep getting the same stupid carbon fuel based energy systems shoved down our throats! why? WHY?

    Money and Power. those that have it want to keep it. they control and censor new technology like this.

  • lets hear your plan for a new power system. Those who complain but do nothing are no different than those who simply do nothing.

  • if you think the modern version for the petrol engine is the same as it was 50 years ago you are deluded

  • my point is the general efficiency (or lack thereof) of the energy conversion/output. a combustion engine is a combustion engine. take away the computer chips, smog control, blah blah blah and its still doing the same thing in the same way. if you think todays gasoline engines are significantly more efficient those of 50 years ago, you are deluded or brainwashed.
