lmao go ride an alligator

[WillWork4Food89]

I'm glad I got to see your face and see how dumb you really are. Haha.

[gorilla199uncensored]

Theres retards who live in 3000 bc you know christians!

[oliverscott2007]

lol.

2 words: faraday cage

[thwart13]

your a frekin clown.

[RyuDarragh]

Looks like he is confusing voltage with charge. If he knew how to measure the joules in each capacitor, he might understand. Capacitor multipliers work that way.. but they *cost* energy to multiply the voltage.

[CousinoMacul]

Haha! I've seen plenty of videos from people who seem to be living before Einstein or Heisenberg, but before Faraday? LOL!

[2bsirius]

Another great video! The magic of free energy is an illusion that people want to believe right now because of the deep hole we've dug over our energy use issues. We'd better get real about all this before it's too late.

[Paxmax]

captainpecan has gone one step further!

Besides turning off comments for his videos, he has now turned off his channel comments!!!

I think a friend invite is necessary soon to send him a PM!

oh.. maybe I shouldn't have tipped him off?!!?

[NotSoOldHippy]

An endless line of morons keep re-inventing idiot failure.

[TheMathGuy]

This reminds me of the quote I saw in a little advertising insert for an electronic tutoring service in the Calculus solutions manual I use for my class. It said "The first person to invent a car that runs on water may be sitting in your classroom!" and I thought to myself "god I hope not!". I hope they are smarter than that.

[d3adp001]

that was a little weak on your explaination end of the deal phile. a blanet induction statement is a little less than convincing. you can do better than that, remember data to data.

[ATL45]

love the sigh at the end. you should make a repeat-use clip out of something like that, similar to the cattle prod clip you used to use.

[TheEvilOfScientology]

"Adding comments has been disabled for this video."

I can't think why?!

[AmicusTheBeliever]

This captain pecan guy is a jackass!

[157626]

"Read a book!"

Even "Electrical circuits for Dummies" would probably not help captainpeabrain.

[RealityEngines]

I think it is interesting that the captainpeanut has the comments disabled to his video. I guess he has heard "Take a class!" and "Read a book!" one to many times already.

[Desertphile]

"I think it is interesting that the captainpeanut has the comments disabled to his video."

I think that shows he is not at all interested in hearing the facts behind what he believes he is doing. All cultists behave the same.

[NomadSoul76]

"I think that shows he is not at all interested in hearing the facts behind what he believes he is doing. All cultists behave the same."

Hmm.. by a straaange coincidence (not really all that strange) I said something very similar to that in that other video about a half a minute ago.

They'd rather live in a fantasy world in which they're revolutionary than make sure they're correct.

I do think he BELIEVES he's right, but belief alone doesn't count for much.

[157626]

Voltage?....VOLTAGE???

Perhaps electro-shock therapy would help that free-energy nut!

[mobiltec]

"Voltage?....VOLTAGE???"

Ya it's not about VOLTAGE anyways... Voltage is not power by itself. Power requires both voltage and current to produce power.

[Desertphile]

"Perhaps electro-shock therapy would help that free-energy nut!"

No doubt he would like shock therapy too much. I see he has also deleted the comments for his video.

[GBart]

He seems to think Voltage is measured in Joules...?

Also it would have been nice if he had attempted to measure or calculate the charge on each capacitor

[lovasip]

At 7:30 he turns the magnet-thing at the other side of the table after the two empty capacitors are connected. This little turn alone can generate electricity trough induction, which is stored in the capacitors.

It is hard to properly evaluate an experiment without a description and circuit diagram.

[Zed1967]

I was thinking the same, I'd need to see a diagram of his ''experiment'' to show the flaws in his argument.

He seems to be unaware that just because a voltage in a system increases it does not mean power does, I suspect his mystery voltage increase might have something to do with dielectric absorption but without repeating what he has done it's hard to say.

One thing's for sure, his system lost energy due to capacitor leakage and resistance in the circuit.

[Desertphile]

"was thinking the same, I'd need to see a diagram of his ''experiment'' to show the flaws in his argument."

I have such a circuit drawing, and there are many on the 'net. If one is near a AM or FM radio station one can use such a device to grab some of that broadcast energy, rectify it with a bridge rectifier, and light several LEDs. And it's a miracle! :-)

[NomadSoul76]

"If one is near a AM or FM radio station one can use such a device to grab some of that broadcast energy, rectify it with a bridge rectifier, and light several LEDs. And it's a miracle! :-)"

Speaking of Mythbusters (in that other video)... they handled something like this. A project to steal power from power lines by rigging up a coil underneath them.

In that case it really was theft, and beyond that it didn't really get much power to speak of. Tapping them would have worked better.

[Desertphile]

"In that case it really was theft, and beyond that it didn't really get much power to speak of. Tapping them would have worked better."

Damn. This is a time when I wished I had television. :-( I see that ebay is still selling induction coils that are used to steal electricity from utilities--- like the one in my "Free energy: $55 each" video. The induction mathematics is somewhat easy to do, and maybe I can make a video on the subject. Bottom line is, induction is still stealing.

[0WildBill0]

This effect is not due to rf. If you watched all 5 videos and followed his experiments and discussions on overunity (dot) com, you would know this.

Speaking of things everyone knew for a long time, have you not heard of a Farady cage? Would this not rule out RF? Normally, I enjoy your point of view but this time, you just did not have all of the information.

Bill

[Tiwaking]

"This effect is not due to rf" - Yes, it is. So in the very least the guy is mistaken, and at worst is an intellectual thief.

[Zed1967]

A Japanese electrical engineer called Hidetsugu Yagi tried to use his aerial (antenna) design as a form of wireless power transmission without much success. It did however become prolly the most widely used aerial design in history and almost every TV in the world is connected to one.

I very much doubt his slight voltage increase was due to picking up RF or power from overhead cables, if he did then I suggest he moves house because the radiation from RF aerials and power cables is a health risk.

[Desertphile]

RF is not a health risk.

[dconnrt]

If you could get yourself into a microwave oven you might change your mind about that

[dconnrt]

I don't know how people make nice "in-line" comments. I posted that in reply to the "RF is not a health risk." comment

[Weaseldog2001]

Microwaves don't emit in the range considered by engineers to be Radio Frequency.

They emit in the range known to engineers as Microwave.

[Zed1967]

If you are standing next to a transmission tower on the ground you are pretty safe but if you were to disable the interlock on your microwave oven, stick your head in it and turn it on you would feel the ''health risk'' of RF.

I'm an ex Royal Navy weapons systems engineer and if I needed to work on an aerial (antenna) I had to disable transmitters to go up the mast, this procedure is called ''Rad Haz'' which is short for Radiation Hazard.

[mobiltec]

I could only watch it through the first charge and then second readings. Can't this guy afford a tripod? Why is he doing everything one-handed. LOL...

Back in my day we had a thing called a VTVM or Vaccume Tube Volt Meter. It's presence in the system during measuring is almost 0. The multi meter he is using is VERY inaccurate and itself becomes a component in the system. Even his fingers have become a component with him touching the leads of the caps all the time. Then there is the arc.

[mobiltec]

The guy claims proof of energy entering the system. Could be RF energy which is Radio Frequency Energy. But from where? I believe the extra juice came fom static electricity from his hands. The proper way to conduct this experiment would be on a grounded circuit board and in a vacuum. (did you know vacuum was spelled that way?) That way no ouside elements could leak into the system. This would make for a good test but would really prove nothing but the guy being wrong.

[mobiltec]

I know I spelled vacuum wrong the first time. Had to look it up for the second spelling.

[anomdeguerre]

had to look it up... LOL

wow

[Desertphile]

"Then there is the arc."

That just fucking cracked me up when I saw it. One can ever hear the *CRACK!* And =THEN= he measured the voltage, as you mentioned, with his fingers sucking off charge like L. Ron Hubbard sucked up rum. If I had been sitting in a chair instead of on a bench I fear I would have fallen off from laughing so hard.

[DiggityDave83]

Desertphile..You need to be the new "Louie the Lightning Bug". "Always play it safe around electricity, you never fly your kite around power lines!" I can hear you singing that little jingle right now! Awesome!

[silentbob36]

If i could make a machine which uses bullshit to perform work, i could have my free energy off these guys, oh the irony

[masticina]

the most funny thing about induction is how weak it usually is. I remember how at mythbusters they used a LONG wire to generate..a whopping 0,5 volt. They even did test it under power cables and well if less then 5 volt is worth making a HUGE construction with heavy cables.

Point being yes there is energy you can pick out of the air but it is so weak it isn't worth it!

[Desertphile]

"Point being yes there is energy you can pick out of the air but it is so weak it isn't worth it!"

Exactly, and thank you for mentioning that: I used a similar device in the Mojave Desert, while parked under a high power transport tower and it was enough to light up LEDs for me to read a book at night. *BUT* as you wrote the practicality is useless in most instances, and it is also against the law to draw electricity from a power line via induction without paying for it. Darn it! :-)

[masticina]

That and I wouldn't want to have the moment where you 20 pound heavy wiring somehow touches the cables..I belief you can say your leds goodbye oh and the wires might be a bit burned through. If you are lucky!

Really solar power is more capable! You would have a little mobile windmill with generator..you know a 12 volt type giving you some power for a nice light if the battery is nice and full.

There are much better methods to get "free" energy. Not to mention they are safer!

[NomadSoul76]

"

HA! I swear I wrote that other mention of this sort of thing before reading this line. Hilarious.

[anonbehell]

Surely the real test is if this guy can power his home with a giant one of the things.

and see what crappy excuses he uses when he won't do it.

[h8uall66]

I think I left a permanent hand shaped welt on my face from the severity of the facepalm I just performed. I was an airwing electrician for 5 years in the Marines. If a dumb Marine like myself can figure this stuff out, what's captainpecan's excuse?

[Desertphile]

"If a dumb Marine like myself can figure this stuff out, what's captainpecan's excuse?"

Hell, the Marines I've known could out-think most "free energy" cultists with one cerebellum tied behind their backs. Don't kids make crystal radio sets these days any more?! Sheeeish!

[rippemies]

Man, that sigh at the end felt really disappointed :)

[4G3NTanon]

I saw it! I saw it! That video made my brain hurt. Such a perversion of electronic concepts. And I think the guy might even believe his own twisted, convoluted experiments. (Insert appropriate quote here) "IT BURNS!!" :)

[Desertphile]

"I saw it! I saw it! That video made my brain hurt."

Take two Coulombs and call your physicist in the morning if the pain persists. :-) Yeah, I know what you mean--- it's like a dagger through one ear and out the other when watching such videos. Sheeeish!

[hellshade2]

Yeah! faraday! hey i have this experiment going and with the storm warnings up i might get lucky, all i need is a little juice... ;)

[DeimosSaturn]

Nice one.

[tjohooorider]

Hi Desertphile!

Thx for many an amusing video.

In this case I don't think energy enters.

Without losses he should get about 12 V in each capacitor. In the first experiment I suspect the sparks take an extra toll compared to the latter one. Energy in a capacitor is proportional to voltage squared. I post this here since the guy doesn't allow comments. (good move if you want help?)

So, do you agree or did I miss something?

[Desertphile]

Hi! Indeed it was funny to see his caps sparking, and THEN he measured the voltage.... gods that's funny! And then he asked where the "extra" energy came from?! Bloody hell.

[Paxmax]

captainpecan does not realize that caps are not LINEAR when it comes to voltage equalling charge status. A cap will QUICKLY gain lot of voltage with a minimal energy input if you start from zero.

Captainpecan ought to apply some relevant mathematics regarding energy storage and capacitance:

Voltage^2 * Capacitance/2 = Joules stored in cap

LOL! the sad dude has turned off comments!!!

[mobiltec]

"LOL! the sad dude has turned off comments!!!"

And the VERY FIRST thing he does in the video is ask "Would someone PLEASE explain to me how..." and then he turns off the comments. Geeesh....

[Desertphile]

"And the VERY FIRST thing he does in the video is ask 'Would someone PLEASE explain to me how...' and then he turns off the comments. Geeesh...."

ROTFL! Well, that's cult mentality for you. Proof these "free energy" clowns have zero interest in actually knowing what they are doing.

[Desertphile]

"LOL! the sad dude has turned off comments!!!"

Good bloody GODS! Fucking amazing.... just amazing.

[isegoria1]

The only way that I have seen this to even remotely be viable requires one to circumvent the regulator all together and tap into the windings themselves which would render AC rather than DC voltage. This would require a dual alternator system. However depending on the amperage of the alternator there will be a drag on the motor that is anywhere from 5-10hp. The fact is that to truly run a vehicle on HHO you would need about 4L per min at idle. The fastest production I could produce is 2.5L.

[isegoria1]

I only say this as I have done the chase. Does it produce HHO? Yes it does, just not anywhere as fast as they would like to claim and the conditions are too hard to reproduce to get a reliable output even at the small amounts I made much less the copious amounts they claim. Simply not viable. Money would be better spent on an electric conversion. At least you would get true results.

[Wags229]

what really bothers me is that, let's say just for sake of argument, these people did in fact find some type of free energy mechanism or machine. they act as though (1). making a youtube video is the best way to SHOW THE WORLD and (2). that they, a typical Joe the Plumber (tired of that phrase yet hehe), would be the first to discover it. ugh, bothers me to no end

take it easy,

Jonathan

[namnack]

Mr Phile,

Did you ever make a video concerning the Hutchison effect?

regards,

N.

[mattblackcat]

Do schools in America not teach basic physics?

[anmoose]

Good bloody gods! If this man knew anything whatever about electronics, he'd have himself committed for making this video. Faraday would have him shot.

He measures voltz on capacitors and they become "charge" and he's created "free energy"??

Where's my gun, dammit?!

[Desertphile]

"Faraday would have him shot."

ROTFL! At the least Faraday would slap him silly.

[Weaseldog2001]

Faraday would probably make him an assistant.

Here, hold this cathode...

Ok, hold this anode in the other hand...

[Paxmax]

I'd pay a wad of cash to see faraday rise and bitchslap captainpecan!

[FSBlueapocalypse]

Question bro, what's up with the free energy kick? Granted it's nice to see them get some attention instead of the 1 billionth video on Kent Hovind's bullshit but what got you on it?

[Desertphile]

"Question bro, what's up with the free energy kick?"

It is an addiction on my part. I need a 12-step program to kick it, I realize.

[JJTecumseh87]

Puff the magic dragon is powering our system and computers

[LittleTruckingBozo]

Wait tell he hears about the horseless carriage.

[carnut666]

a horseless carriage?!?!?!?!

but that would only work downhill : P

[DeimosSaturn]

What's this new fangled peanut brittle? I think I'll try some...AAHHHHH!!! VENOMOUS COBRAS!!!! Oh, wait, these are just springs wrapped in vinyl. Haha, what a clever joke!

[Paxmax]

Heheehe!!  No no no.. it's magic!!!! sorcery!!!

[Desertphile]

GRAVITY!

[Paxmax]

No DP.... for this vid you are suppose to scream (and mandatory is waving the camera remote)

"joules.... JOULES! bloody damn free energy fucktard wanker nut.. AARGH! *sigh* e n e r g y -we measure it in... JOULES !!!! ..you hear that? JOULES!!... dammit.. *sigh* why, oh why he measure it in volts is.. *shrugs* beyond me... *sigh*"

[Desertphile]

"*shrugs* beyond me... *sigh*""

ROTFL! Damn I wish I had thought of that! Hell, I may steal your idea for a later video. Er, viteo..... :-)
