Bent Spoon 2001 - Winner (Lutec)

The winners of the annual Skeptics Bent Spoon award (presented to the "perpetrator of the most preposterous piece of pseudoscientific piffle") for 2001 was announced at the Australian Skeptics National Convention in Brisbane on November 10.
The winners were the proponents of the Lutec Free Energy Generator, John Christie and Lou Brits of Cairns, for the most concerted campaign to market the invention least likely to fulfil its promises.

Their generator, claimed to produce 30 times more output than input, was slated to solve the world's energy crisis.

The proponents set up an entire infrastructure: World Patents, numbered bank account, elaborate business plan, closed demonstrations to investors, and promises of franchises. Media exposure included newspaper, TV, US radio, and Internet sites.
Information provided by the proponents included glowing references from an alleged international technology company (actually one created by the promoters themselves).

This award owes much to the technical and investigative skills of Skeptical engineer, Ian Bryce, whose detailed reports in the Skeptic (21:3 and the following item in this issue) show how, despite many difficulties, he exposed the truth: the theoretical basis of the device is fatally flawed and the patents worthless.

The prototype's actual output power is 33% of its input.

I've been running my car on one of them for years. I modified it to run twin brock energy polarisers and a hiclone, so now it's good for 660hp.

But seriously, that would have to have the noisiest magnets I've ever heard!

There are a lot of videos on YouTube of magnetic motors. Most eventually stop and have to be restarted and none of them have enough torque to do any useful work.

The search for over-unity machines is like that for true perpetual motion machines. The only perpetual motion that you get is the search to find them. It will go on for ever, because they don't and never will exist.

I came across this by accident, I definatly dont bother looking for this sort of rubbish but I thought this had to be one of the most elaborate yet rediculas things I had seen and I just had to post it.

By the way, there are heaps about Hydrogen and a lawn mower that runs on water etc etc..........I think someone will have to knock on my door and show me in person with my own eyes and then strip it down to show me that they are not cheating before I will believe any of it.

There are so many of these people who either invest a lot of money in these things and then need to jib people to get it back or are just disohnest to start with.

There were some good clips to wierd al yankovich as well.......talking about being jibbed out of money

this thing does not need figures to prove it, all you need is someone who understands the basics of electricity and a multimeter. Had they sent the machine to the uni they would have given a yes or no in 5 minutes. quotes like "if this thing does what they say it does" means its a lie. Furthermore it would be the biggest news in the history of humanity (IMO).
