Do you have a link???

Sounds like another one of these "free energy" devices...

hahaha,coughsorry. Must be serious for a moment.

Now. A magnetic energy generator is as simple as a comb and woolly jumper, but not so sure how many jumpers you'd need to power a house.

Used to be popular in the 19th century as a parlour trick. Wind it up touch the electrodes and your hair stands up.

Gurgle it. There are heaps of links and YouTube videos.

Is this the perpetual motion generator?

Aussie invention, that nobody here would buy/support. Ended up selling to the Chinese, I think.

Oh no. It's a real thing. Real hard case too. But of no real practical value because static electricity is, well, static (i.e. it doesn't flow it just discharges pretty much uncontrollably like lightning).

I have to learn to stop replying to these threads. Anyone who believes in perpetual motion, free energy, etc... needs to read:

"Voodoo Science" by Bob Park

then if that doesn't work, go and do 1st year engineering thermodynamics at uni.

Sorry, I just watched the YouTube video. And no, that thing has scam written all over it.

What I was referring to was the old parlour trick like the "Wimshurst Generator" here. Scroll nearly to the bottom of the page.

Here is a letter from Australian Skeptics, showing the device has 33% efficiency, based on measurements performed by the inventors. So in other words, you only get 1/3 of the energy out that you put in. It creates nothing.
