Thank you for all the feedback and comments. I would not have tried this without your suggestions! I have read over 20,000 comments and hundreds of emails on this topic. If you have a question, I very likely talked about it in the video. Also I change my mind about some things through the recording of the video so the end is very important if you want to know my current view on things. Thanks for watching! I look forward to reading the new comments. I can't answer them all but I will see them all 😄Any corrections and all links/references are in the description!
its pretty simple, we invented dark energy, because we know there is something with a lot energy, but we cant use it because we DON'T understand it. Remember, once, a solar panel was unthinkable
Video idea for you .....Teach people how to make a good safe HHO torch that can be used for cutting & welding out of hopefully mostly free scrap parts ( except for torch head & other parts you have to buy) It would #1 hopefully get views #2 teach people how to make a good safe one #3 leave you with a usable torch.....I a video of a guy welding aluminum with a hydrogen/oxygen torch but they were in tanks similar to oxy-acetelyne torch setup. If you made it so you separated the oxygen & hydrogen in 2 seperate containers. Then use the 2 knobs on the torch to adjust your hydrogen oxygen ratio.
oh, jeremy unpined this after our comments. looks like thats a NO. But, i still wanna spread hope. it only need to get solved by one person, not by all people. its not me, i'm too lazy^^
I've enjoyed lots of your videos , especially when you debunk these free energy scams. And you're 100% right on they are scamming you of your free time for views = ads = revenue share. People don't understand the simple concept, to get an energy output there needs to be an input😂 nothing is free , well I guess if you live on a flowing stream or river and put a wheel generator I suppose that's free but it still required input as in manual labor 🤷. I do science projects all the time with my two girls and one of the bigger ones we will be trying is making a windmill from an old ceiling fan. I've got a big box full of electrical components scavenged from things that we threw out . Ya thanks for turning me into a hoarder by the way 😂. I want to try and make a windmill that can power a light outback . We live a mile from the ocean and have consistent wind between 7-20mph . I have No ideas /plans about the build yet but it's coming!
My first course in Thermodynamics was over 50 years ago, but the most important thing I remember was the professor telling us to never forget "There is no free lunch !". In the vast wasteland of present day media, yours is a "voice crying in the wilderness" - I am an 88 year old retired electronics systems engineer and just discovered your channel. You have an immediate appeal to the "younger" folks. God bless what you are doing.
There is free lunch everywhere, how much do unsophisticated life forms owe from a lifetime of free lunches 😅. That very expression was installed in society so that the likes of Rockefeller and jp Morgan can eat your free lunch while making you buy another from them. Look at what tesla was building at wardencliff before jp Morgan pulled the plug after discovering teslas invention was about to undermine his oil investment. Smart people like you are more than capable of understanding the theories tesla discovered and one you understand you cannot go back to what they brainwashed you with as" laws", they are just a set of conditions for specific operations... not laws. Free yourself from this slave mindset, there are free lunches everywhere
Sorta sucks that a lot of scammers have sufficient knowledge to be producing useful content but would rather fool people into ruining useable goods. You're doing good work, Jeremy!
It's always good to salvage those parts from disposed goods, just because they are useful. You just have to combine the right ones back together and you can learn really useful skills, all the while think in principles. Why does something work the way it works. Then, when seeing a new one, you get to the point of: should this work on the principles they claim to use and/or did he forget to mention ones that he is bound by. It's also fun to spot the flaws. It becomes interesting, only after I can't think of and/or find any, right?
A lot of examples, such as those videos of just two hands putting random components together with bad techno or some such music in the foreground and no voice at all....typically with broken english windows movie maker subs....arent meant to really be taken seriously. They're what Ive termed 'flying carpet' or 'magic rope' videos (possibly as a jab towards a region they tend to come from....) They are effectively 'magic trick' joke videos. Its the soccer mom and idiot flattie westerners that get duped by them. And since the duped ones spread the video to their buddies, some of which re-share it because they're also duped, others to laugh at how ridiculous the video is, the creator sees a market for these mock 'build a diy phone charger: with gum and baby poo' kind of videos (there is also the 'make it look as plausible as possible' style, of course) and the end result is a flood of videos that are meant to be an understood silly cultural in-joke with only the odd .... person who does not have or use much brain power and/or didnt get much if anything out of school .... falling for it, and for the rest of us unfamiliar with these cultural norms either half our family falls for them, or it annoys us to the point of making that entire culture look shady and untrustworthy. Which is made doubly annoying when there are some awesome videos out there of really cool little devices and tricks (probably why that joke style is the way it is honestly....to squeeze into that market for a laugh....except now every video sharing platform is flooded with so much garbage its hard to find the good stuff). There are a handful of channels where the people make little circuits and use the legs of the components as a sort of sculptural structure. I love that kind of stuff! But like hell am I going to seek it on my main account otherwise itll ruin my algorithm weighting.....
There are plenty of working free energy devices. A rampjet pump, for example. There are clocks that self-wind (I don't mean wristwatches that convert your arm movement into the clockspring) that operate on minute changes in barometric pressure and temperature. There are of course, windmills that can run a saw or a water pump or generate electricity. There's solar panels etc. What doesn't exist is overunity devices.
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years. You are a very intelligent guy and are extremely good at teaching without being boring. A lot of the things you teach are useful in everyday situations. I appreciate you.
This man set out to create a machine he knew he wouldn't work so that people would understand. My favorite kind of person going to great lengths just so that someone will learn something
So impressive your engineering skills and understanding of the process is very cool but your motivation is very appreciated by me and I'm sure so many people and you're a great teacher idk if you're compensated for the loss of your time but I guess that's what the sponsors are about but I see the passion for what you do and I am so excited to do this and great full that I chose this video thank you
How to say there's probably only won a thousand true free energy devices on the internet cuz I grant you if you seen it running I'm not trying to get money out I don't know why either but I'm just going to stay alive
if you knew free energy actually exist 100%. I KNOW how to create a free energy DEVICE . do you know what you sound like me I'm not got one email from you how to get ahold of you we're I can't prove you wrong.
You are one of my favorite youtube teachers- my son is 7 and showing a lot of interest in science and engineering and how things work. We watch your videos together and even with my experience and education, I still learn something from every single 1. You are a gifted science communicator and need a much larger platform❤.
@mallyrobo I get the feeling you missed the whole point of the video. You can and are being scammed. They take advantage of the fact that you really hope it’s true. Faking it is even easier than I show in this video. I just didn’t want to make a tutorial on how to scam the internet. Feel free to believe what you want though. I don’t expect to change your mind.
Mister Fielding, you are a wonderful role-model. I strive to be a better father as often as I can, and your example of open-mindedness, humility, confidence, diligence, patience, integrity, and ingenuity, is one that I can only hope to come close to. Thank you for all that you do and the knowledge that you share with all of us. God bless you and yours. 💡
I was really happy to see your comment because that was pretty much what I was able to take away from the video! I'm currently 60 years old and done raising children, having raised 6 kids. I couldn't help but to have feelings of regret for not spending the kind of quality time with my children and being more like the kind of father this man is! Being the sole source of income for all those years, I was always more concerned about being a good provider than being a good father, and before you know it, the time is gone! I grew up in a low income household where we weren't able to have the kind of things that other kids had, like name brand clothes and such, so I always told myself that my kids were going to able to fit in with others their age, having all the things the rest of the kids had, but what I neglected to figure in was the memories! For most of my parenting years, I worked 7 days a week, never turning down work on the weekends, I would do side jobs before work, after work, on weekends, always putting money before relationships! Now I see guys like Jeremy, spending all this quality time with their children, making memories and building relationships with their children, and it just kills me! If I can give one piece of advice that I learned from all my years of parenting, don't let the time get away from you! Take every opportunity to spend quality time with your family because it's going to be your greatest regret as a parent! Time is so precious, it will get away from you before you know it, and there's no getting it back! What an amazing role-model this man is! You summed it up perfectly with what I took away from this video! Thank you for your comment!!
"The more time you spend thinking about the problem, the more problems you find." This is a huge part of why I love science in general! The universe is full of mysteries, and every time we peel back the curtain and gain new knowledge, we find more mysteries to solve that are deeper and more interesting.
Important point on power loss: the motor is wrapped with heat sink ribs or fins to cast off heat; the variable transformer is wrapped in sheet meal with holes to cast off heat. Power is always wasted in unusable heat generated by friction. So if a device has holes or fins you know those are there to dissipate wasted energy in the form of heat
True, about the fins, but friction itself isn't much of an issue in motors. Unless an alleged device is using superconductors, there's resistance in the wiring, and resistance is what generates most of the heat.
That waste heat is the main reason you can't achieve perpetual motion, and any device used to capture waste heat and transform it into energy always demands more energy than it can transform. It's just an impossibility.
The heat in the variac is not due to friction but due to copper and iron losses. The copper losses coming from the resistance in the copper wires of the transformer and the iron losses from how iron magnetizes (hysteresis). These hysteresis losses can also be seen in the no load condition ( 18:08 )
Oh, wow, I was just looking up free energy debunking videos, couldn't find anything good, went to bed, woke up, and this is the first video on my subs list. Excellent timing.
It's often called "RUclips algorithm", noticed that with 100% of certainity anything you search on Google, anything you write on Faceb.. even in private message, antything you write on Twitt.. and Linked.. you will see that content proposed on RUclips, we are identified as same user on their database on practically every website by AdSence scripts being logged in to Google services on phone enables them to connect that information to one ID - and make feedback loop of content.
@@Shin_Lona If you have an "Unlimited" Internet connection it's just mean not to share it. The extra throughput would slow the connection due to contention ratios but who uses 40Mb/s, 24/7?
I appreciate your logical honest approach and good ethics . It is refreshing and comforting to know someone who is willing to stand up for reality and truth .
I have major respect for your journey of learning, I’ve been watching your channel from early on and you are an amazing teacher who inspires others to learn.
This has been one of the best videos I've seen on this channel. "Strong human emotion combined with a poorly understood topic". It's like the tagline for modern society. Well done Jeremy!
I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover your channel. You have an incredible way of sharing information, it is truly a gift. Thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks Jeremy for reminding me of the deep appreciation I have in the foresight of my father who, when I was a curious young boy, brought home small items like knife switches, dry cell batteries, small permanent magnet motors and many other things. All in pieces, as individual parts. He left these things for me, without explanation, for my own experimentation without any instruction. As curious young people do, it wasn't long before I took a strand of wire and shorted the dry cell battery terminals together. Of course, the wire burned up almost instantly and a short (pardon the pun) time later my father and I had a discussion about why the wire burned up. Resistance, in the wire, causing the electricity to be converted to heat. Eventually, I discovered that to my surprise a permanent magnet motor, when mechanically spun, would generate electricity. Thinking myself a borderline genius, I tied the two motor shafts together and expected the motor acting as a generator to produce enough electricity to turn the shaft of the motor in a continuous feedback loop. My father and I had another brief talk about why that woudn't work ... again he said, resistance in the wires of both motor and generator causing loss of energy, friction in the shaft bearings causing more loss of energy, etc. I could clearly see why my motor to generator experiment failed. These valuable lessons sparked and sustained a curiosity that has lasted a lifetime. I'm 76 years old now and as you speak, I can clearly hear the words of my father. Thanks.
I love how practical this is for life. You don’t get something for nothing! Learning, building, engineering as a person takes work/energy and you get knowledge/wisdom in return. Thanks for sharing yours with us!
Hi Jeremy, thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. I’m a retired engineer, and all of those free energy videos on RUclips drive me nuts. You can’t violate the laws of physics, no matter how good of a magic show you put on.
Well guess what the big bang violates the laws of thermodynamics, E=mc2 violates the laws of thermodynamics and nuclear power plants violate the laws of thermodynamics. Just saying...
You are talking like a person not thinking on his own... Where did all this endless energy come from we see in the universe? And please don't say''the big bang''. i don't want to die of laughter. Just because fools on earth can't do it proves nothing.
In one way it does exist- the sun's energy can be used to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen if the panels can be made to last? It is a problem in everything today if it doesn't break you can't sell endless of whatever you want to sell! I think that it is Henry Ford who is guilty of having invented the idea of not building something that lasts too long time? However, it's now a hopeless situation when we don't manage to build anything in the right way even if we want to and the materials are not endless so sooner or later our economic system is doomed to collapse because you can't have a system who is depending on eternal growing at the same time the resources being rarer and rarer and the nature isn't capable to handle the situation any longer...
I'm glad your able to build this stuff and that you actually have the patience to demonstrate things to people that SHOULD already know better. I'd be extremely frustrated just responding to people. This is a great channel, I'm glad I found it.
I design e-bike gearboxes for a living, the bicycle analogy portion was fantastic! I will have to send that to many of the non engineer folks I work with! And the part “the more you think about the problem the more problems you find.” I felt that deeply in my soul.
"Strong human emotion combined with a poorly understood topic" is such a perfectly succinct way to describe the root of so many conspiracy theories. This was a fantastic video, I absolutely love your channel
I happened to come across this video and being a person that has absolutely no knowledge about electrical or any other engineering, I very much enjoyed your explanations and demonstration. I will definitely look at more of your content.
I just stumbled upon your video. Well done. You don't make me uncomfortable. You make me comfortable because I see that I am not alone. It is more difficult to convince someone they've been fooled than to fool them. I especially appreciate the way you tied the chicanery of free energy to other topics such as economics, taxation and government. I'm a fan
Thank you I appreciate your work. I am an electrician and that's possibly the best explanation I've seen on how a transformer works. The only thing I would suggest is give people a reference to some generators that use a more readily available energy source. There are some wind generators that are very practical.
Im an electrician as well. Been in the trade for over thirty years, have installed countless three phase transformers, generators, you name it. Believe it or not I didnt really have a fundemental understanding of how electromagnetism works in a generator or transformer until the last decade or so. I understood enough to do my job and probably would have been just fine lacking that knowledge but understanding how and why it works is much more satisfying. Now that I understand it Im shocked (not intended) at how many other electricians dont grasp the fundementals. Always thought it was just me but no, Id even go as far as saying a large majority dont understand something as basic as the water analogy.
Less of a comment on the video and more of a comment on the ad. Your approach to family is beautiful, and I wish more folks would engage in a similar manner. My compliments to you and your family. Observational statement complete.
I think one of the most amazing things about physics is that because it describes reality you can turn it on its head and use reality to solve the equations for you. For example in the 30s a Soviet engineer used this to make a water based computer that solved differential equations related to how fast concrete sets.
@@hedgehog3180oh excellent reference! I love mechanical computing! Another water computer is the MONIAC, which was a model of the UK's economy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC
Great video! This started out with my intention to buy an electric bike. I mistakenly thought that they were designed to recharge their own batteries. The problem with all these electrical vehicles is as you point out you need energy coming in and so I went down the rabbit hole and found your video. Our now former Mayor had announced that the city would be carbon neutral in 5 years. Now we get some of our power from Quebec which is clean energy as is the dam that we share with a small city just across the bridge from ours but the problem he couldn't surmount was the fact that about 30% or more of our energy comes from a plant that burns wood waste, wood pellets, if it is wood it is burned. He tried to get the citizens of our fair city to call the plant carbon neutral but most of us couldn't check that box with a straight face. So we are running in circles. We will clean the air by not driving gas or diesel powered vehicles but we will need to create electrical energy from somewhere. Hopefully we'll figure it out. It's a pity that Nicola Tesla was not better funded and supported in his time because I believe he was on to something. I have no proof but I feel it, that energy in the air. My heart breaks for that poor motor you destroyed to make an excellent point. I was on Reddit and one man, 6 years ago, mocked 99% of the population for not understanding the principles of of energy conservation. Even though it was 6 years later I told him that not all of us had an interest in physics or were excited by the idea of electrical engineering in high school. My love was history, civics, and why our Constitution is the law of the land. I spent my life teaching and learning more as I read and research constantly. People say I'm obsessed but I think you understand that because you are making videos about what you love and destroying that beautiful engine says that you are a bit obsessed as well. I learned a great deal and I am putting off buying an electric bike and see if they come up with a better design, my electric bill is high enough and I have two good legs. I'll be back again because I want to see you play with one of Elon Musk's toys.
The quickest way to get where you need to go is a straight line. Every corner/alternative routes results in wasted effort; the same is true with power. The cup illustration was perfect to help people understand that energy was wasted through each path until it reaches its output
@@kruecloth2279 If I did I would use high frequency resonant inductive wireless power transmission and I would fool a lot of people by just repeating what Tesla did a century ago with solid state electronics.
I would just like to say, your workshop and all the tools you have available is amazing! Also your dedication to education on how things work, including with your kids, is top notch. Great video!
I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. While not being an Engineer myself, I do have 4 in my family. I really like the down to earth approach to your videos. I myself love micro soldiering and creating devices. A new sub here!
Even just the first few minutes where you explain free energy scams is amazing. I will definitely be showing and discussing this video with my young children. It's more interesting and educational than what they're learning in school, I'm sure.
Jeremy, this video is excellent, thank you so much for broaching this subject. I thought I'd share how I was immunized against free energy scams early in life: When I was a kid, I loved carnival rides where you felt weightless, and I didn't understand why you could just "keep doing the weightless part." As a kid (maybe 4th or 5th grade) I didn't understand reference frames, relative motion, etc. so I was always drawing "anti-gravity" machines in my sketchbooks and the thinking went like this: "If you're swinging around in a big circle, like the pirate ship ride, and you feel weightless at the top, but not at the bottom, why not put that pirate ship ride on a bigger pirate ship ride so that on the smaller one's upswing, the big one is at it's downswing, which should cancel it out!" Of course, that doesn't work, and it can never work, but I was consistently adding more and more stages of gyros and swinging arms and elevators and one day it clicked for me: I wasn't getting closer to a solution, I was just obfuscating the mechanism more and more until I could no longer "see why" it wouldn't work. A few years later when I encountered my first "magnetic turbine" free energy "researcher" online, I instantly recognized the same thought process. You just need to overcome that one last push and it'll run on its own, maybe if you add a few more pulleys and a few more weights and some more magnets and on and on then it seems like it should work, but of course you're just kicking the can down the road. And so I never believed free energy scams for a second because I'd worked that kind of problem organically. Of course, obfuscating the working principle of a machine is great for scammers because the more complex that something apparently is, the easier it is to gimmick and the more legitimate it seems. P.S. "Almost forgot the magnets" reminded me so much of "Almost forgot the crystals" in Napoleon Dynamite when they're testing Uncle Rico's "Time Machine"
As an African American. I’d like to stop pass here just to say. I love your energy, Appreciate your hard work & knowledge putting these videos together. And remind you to Stay The Course. May your way be opened to you.
Jeremy, You, sir, are a kind and gentle soul with a lot more patience than I have on this subject. Thank you for making this video. Now, instead of wanting to bash holes in a wall with my forehead, I can simply send people a link to this video. I have even had journeyman electricians try to argue with me that free energy is possible, based on some scam video they saw! You have just made my life a little easier! Thank you!
I've got an idea for free energy that really should work, but I haven't got the last step figured out yet. What you do is you take an alternator and you attach it to a stationary bicycle. Then you get your kids to continuously ride the bicycle. Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to keep the kids riding the bicycle. The energy is definitely there, it just keeps running off.
There are varying methods of solving this unique engineering challenge. Its always best to get everyone on the Team focused and on the same page. Simply pull your main breaker/fuse and plug that alternator and boost converter to the wall. As long as they want their phones charged, the X-box and TV to work, that should work better than chain retention systems. Might be fatherly and splurge for some deep cycle battery bank.
I have to say, watching this video as an engineer myself, I love your analogies. Especially the playdough one. I do sometimes give 'classes' to kids, so I am going to use this. It's also a really intuative way to explain intergrals and other stuff. While i deal a lot with motors in mostly servo-controlled drives, they sort of still remain magic to me. I know the basics of them, can calculate the working torques and speeds based on input, know the theory behind them but the details and design of one, well I am a bit at a loss especially when it comes to the newer generation of motors also used on EVs.
A device powered by solar power is free energy! Advice powered by the free electricity in the atmosphere is free energy! For several more types of free energy!!
literally had to type "free energy" and filter "watched" to find your channel again! I kept thinking about this video but never found it again!! But I remembered your face! So glad I am back!
I’m an engineer, I honestly love perpetual motion and free energy videos. I find them fun to try and think of how they did it. My attention has been given with consent lol
There's one place a perpetual motion machine has never been tried and that's in space, away from any gravity pull. I have plans for one but need someone to help me overcome the gravity therefore, removing any force that would stop it. ☺
Hypothetically, I suppose one could rent a Cessna and fly a partial negative g maneuver (pitch up and pitch down), so you have a few seconds of zero g. Experiment.
when gluing (wood) you should not complete the circles, have it opened ended. S pattern is great, not 8. because this traps bubbles. you'll get an uneven surface. Just as anyone who works with wood, or even glue/caulk.
Love this channel! This is a great service. I’ve built a lot of electronics kits, but I wish I understood more of what I was doing and not just following instructions. I think I found out where to learn these basics I need. Thanks!
Excellent explanation. The underlying issue here isn't that there is a population of scammers who have gamed the system in order to garner ad revenue. The issue really is that fewer and fewer people understand how the universe works, and so the work of the scammers is made quite easy. If you don't recognize it's a bear trap you are more likely to step in it.
Thank you sir! As an engineer I get sent these scam videos all the time from my friends. I used to break it down for them... that got old after the tenth time. So now I just tell them "There's no free lunch!" 🙂
My favorite free energy generator is the solar panel. Although it’s only a free energy generator when the power companies are not charging you for giving them your power.
I liked your clear cups example. Another metaphor with cups is having a cup with a larger diameter than the other cup. Transferring water from one to the other results in the water being more/ less as deep, but having more/less surface area. TANSTAAFL is a law for a reason.
Good one. I have a boat powered by solar. Amazing how many people tell me to put a generator powered by motion through the water to recharge the batteries.
I absolutely LOVE your attitude about our current situation with technology, and life in general. I had a lot of trouble understanding the technical details of your video but it was still worth my time to watch. I watched this video since I live off the grid totally in the Alaska wilderness and am always looking for alternatives to my micro-hydro system which only operates in the warmer months due to freezing in the winter. Have a 12 volt deep cycle battery bank - 8 6 volt batteries. Wired together for a 12 volt inverter to convert to 120 volt power and then to a breaker box to run the system like one would have in town. Anytime you’d like to contact me about my system, feel free. I’d be happy to learn more from you and to share the details of my several systems with you. Many thanks! You rock!
While going through the comments in Jeremy's lecture I was looking for a comment like yours interested to see someone who has achieved a fit in similar direction of alternative energy management. Yours is good comment presented in a polite and straight forward way which undoubtedly is a true position. The question of power source has been my trouble while going through two of those videos on free energy, I concured with Jeremy on his report about energy source. But he has a lot to debunk because in some of those videos you can see a number of demonstrations without external sources for continuous supply. Thank you for making your observations known in the mist of choruses against free energy. After all, Dalton's theory which trended for centuries was recently debunked. Wind and solar electricity are recent developments
Thanks Jeremy. You know your spitting into the wind with this one. Scammers are going to scam and certain people are still going to believe them but, hopefully if more people like you make this ""science"" known, then less will be scammed. Keep up the good work
i watched all your 3 videos and it feels like I got back to where i was studying in high school. And many people are so hooked to get free energy unless and they don't understand how energy really works.
One of the most annoying questions that was repeated over-and-over again was the free energy question in its various forms. Teaching as a Master Training Specialist (Electricity/Electronics) in the US Navy and 22 years College Industrial Electricity/Electronics to Electricians, Technicians, and those who went on to be E/E engineers gave me an understanding why people did not understand and I tried to be as nice as I could with that knowledge. Trying to convince them was hard because of the bad stories coming from others that was imprinted in their mind.
Non-engineering folks get a pass on believing in free energy. Anyone else in school or trades who does is simply showing they don't understand the basics and should have been failed.
I wish I had had you as a teacher back in my day, I'm 66 now, and your explanations make perfect sense. I never understood this at school no matter how many times it was explained to me.😎
Absolutely brilliant video Jeremy. The generator that fascinates me is the Hendershot generator. The plans are available on the net and I have seen a video where it actually works. (AKULA) I would love to see you build one of these to either prove or disprove that it can provide light. We are in fact surrounded by energy and I believe that there must be a way that we can tap into it and use it constructively. I have tested Tesla's static energy collector and it does in fact collect static energy. The voltages are extremely high and unpredictable and also not that consistent. At times I get useful and useable energy, but it is never "free" as the materials , safety measures and time do cost - one has to weigh up these factors as well as mechanical loss in a system. I have also seen converted gas motors running on hydrogen and water powering standard generators providing useful power outputs. These do have an initial cost as well as a maintenance cost - so are not actually free - but long term are portable, efficient and much cheaper than gas run motors. Modifications to these motors require spark timing changes to account for faster burn rate of HHO as well as water vapor injection to provide flash steam and if necessary turbo's to ensure correct HHO volume into the cylinder. The HHO gas generators also consume a lot of electrical energy and safety is really vital as this gas is highly reactive. I dream of poor kids in emote rural areas having the ability to flip a switch and have light and power to be able to cook food and study, read in safety - too many in my country are held back due to absolute poverty. There has to be a way to do this efficiently and safely!
HHO is yet another case of "you can't get more energy out of it than you put in". Whatever energy you get from burning the hydrogen and oxygen, will not exceed the energy you needed to use to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. In fact you will get less, due to each step being less than 100% efficient. If this hendershot generator is a thing that produces more energy than it consumes, then the video you saw was at best flawed in its measurement, and more likely just a scam. There simply is no way to generate energy out of nowhere. Wind turbines take energy from moving air, hydroelectric gets it from the gravitational potential of falling water, and perpetual motion machines _do not work, period_ .
You should build and review a Thunderstorm Generator. When attached to a fossil fuel engine, it supposedly greatly reduces emissions while increasing fuel efficiency. 'Alchemical Science' has a complete DIY build guide explaining exactly how to make one.
You are a fantastic educator, Jeremy. I'm an engineer with nearly 40 years experience, and I love watching your videos, even if I know the subject very well. I've also learned a lot from your videos, proving that you can teach an old dog new tricks. 😊 You are very charismatic in your delivery, which makes you very entertaining to watch. Turning education into entertainment is what makes you a great educator, and I envy the youth of today who have free access to videos such as yours. You sir are educating future generations of engineers, technicians, designers, mechanics etc. with your ''anyone can get their head around this'' style of educational video, and I doff my cap in your general direction. You are an inspiration. 🫡
Not even considering the other red flags, the second you had to stick magnets to the transformer I clocked it as fake. That is the number 1 red flag in these devices. These guys use magnets like they have unknowable magic properties.
Exactly, history has proven time and time again that the majority of people don't understand how magnets actually work. They mistakenly (understandably) get this idea that the magnet itself has "power" that can be extracted or leveraged in some way to do work, or that the forces that magnets seem to produce is some sort of stored energy just waiting to be extracted, this is reinforced by the knowledge that a magnet will appear to exhibit a pulling or pushing force on another object, or especially another magic, so if you could somehow use that attractive or repulsive "force" that magnets appear to have within them, you could extract energy from it somehow. Magnets aren't batteries, nor are they "extracting" energy from radiation, the sun/earth's magnetic field or somehow pulling energy from an unknown dark energy source, and while it's true that if you have a magnet and bring another magnet closer to each that they will either create a felt interaction where they are trying to pull themselves together or push apart for each other, what they're really doing is taking the actual power you are using try try to push them together or pull them apart to overcome the magnetic force of their static magnetic fields, and then essentially feeding it back as either resistance pushing back, or resistance in pulling them apart. It's easy when lacking some fundamental understanding of magnetic fields and forces along with physics to think you could take advantage of this perceived "force" that makes magnet ls want to pull or push each other away and get that "force" to do some work that can be extracted as energy, as though that "force" is a source of input power, but the person or another source must generate the input power, the magnet can then just transfer that energy to another magnet (or ferromagnetic material), and without visual indicators that our brains normally use to determine relationships of objects transferring energy (gears, wires, motors, etc), it gives people the belief that the magnets themselves are doing the work. If anything, the prevalence of how widely misunderstood magnetism and magnetic fields is amongst the US population and how often it's exploited in these over-Unity devices speaks volumes to how terrible our education system has been over the last 30 years. We can't expect people to know or understand these fundamental science facts / laws if we don't teach and then continuously reinforce that knowledge in school as people are developing the foundation for how they will view and interact with the world around them.
I noticed these people often use worst case scenarios, like for example toroidal transformer + magnet, obvious there are hidden wires, most of content it's no different than "5 minutes craft" total waste of time.
@@KabelkowyJoe that's the whole point of the genre, it's exactly the same content production model. They know damned well that 99.999% of viewers aren't actually going to try to recreate any of it, so exactly like how those 5 min crafts or 30 life hack clip / video channels that were so popular a few years ago survived and thrived.
To be fair, magnets do kinda have magic properties. It's all essentially just witchcraft anyhow. I mean... Hell, I learned about science from a guy named Mr. Wizard.
There is one thing in this man. The humble he captivate me is the true giffted brave man. I love not to speak how large dogs will attack you. Be blessed.
I feel smart now. thank you for bringing the formula down to 5th grade level. this was really entertaining, fun and educational. keep up the great work. hope to see more free energy videos break down
Bro.......the way approach, present, describe & just truly understanding everything & how it specifically works.....I must admit.....it's beyond inspiring man......your truly talented.......be patient your time is coming.....congrats to you & your family! 🎉
Perfect. I've seen a myriad of videos with this experiment but I wanted to have an overview diagram for the connections of the modified transformers and so on. I'll stand by. Thank you very much.
Great video Jeremy, i am an electrical engineer with 25years of experience in the industry. Its absolutely true that where there is little knowledge or a poorly understood topic and a need , a scam is created. I even get fellow engineers questioning and doubting themselves.
I wish I could watch you do these experiments I've always been so excited about possibilities looking for new things and figuring out how things work cuz they're here now.
Thank you for all the feedback and comments. I would not have tried this without your suggestions! I have read over 20,000 comments and hundreds of emails on this topic. If you have a question, I very likely talked about it in the video. Also I change my mind about some things through the recording of the video so the end is very important if you want to know my current view on things. Thanks for watching! I look forward to reading the new comments. I can't answer them all but I will see them all 😄Any corrections and all links/references are in the description!
its pretty simple, we invented dark energy, because we know there is something with a lot energy, but we cant use it because we DON'T understand it. Remember, once, a solar panel was unthinkable
Video idea for you .....Teach people how to make a good safe HHO torch that can be used for cutting & welding out of hopefully mostly free scrap parts ( except for torch head & other parts you have to buy)
It would #1 hopefully get views #2 teach people how to make a good safe one #3 leave you with a usable torch.....I a video of a guy welding aluminum with a hydrogen/oxygen torch but they were in tanks similar to oxy-acetelyne torch setup.
If you made it so you separated the oxygen & hydrogen in 2 seperate containers. Then use the 2 knobs on the torch to adjust your hydrogen oxygen ratio.
oh, jeremy unpined this after our comments. looks like thats a NO.
But, i still wanna spread hope. it only need to get solved by one person, not by all people. its not me, i'm too lazy^^
I've enjoyed lots of your videos , especially when you debunk these free energy scams. And you're 100% right on they are scamming you of your free time for views = ads = revenue share. People don't understand the simple concept, to get an energy output there needs to be an input😂 nothing is free , well I guess if you live on a flowing stream or river and put a wheel generator I suppose that's free but it still required input as in manual labor 🤷. I do science projects all the time with my two girls and one of the bigger ones we will be trying is making a windmill from an old ceiling fan. I've got a big box full of electrical components scavenged from things that we threw out . Ya thanks for turning me into a hoarder by the way 😂. I want to try and make a windmill that can power a light outback . We live a mile from the ocean and have consistent wind between 7-20mph . I have No ideas /plans about the build yet but it's coming!
I'd be happy if you reviewed actual energy generators.
My first course in Thermodynamics was over 50 years ago, but the most important thing I remember was the professor telling us to never forget "There is no free lunch !". In the vast wasteland of present day media, yours is a "voice crying in the wilderness" - I am an 88 year old retired electronics systems engineer and just discovered your channel. You have an immediate appeal to the "younger" folks. God bless what you are doing.
That simple phrase applies to almost everything in life, engineering, politics, relationships, etc
@@Corndog4382lol you forgot to mentioned where it literally came from - economics.
There is free lunch everywhere, how much do unsophisticated life forms owe from a lifetime of free lunches 😅.
That very expression was installed in society so that the likes of Rockefeller and jp Morgan can eat your free lunch while making you buy another from them.
Look at what tesla was building at wardencliff before jp Morgan pulled the plug after discovering teslas invention was about to undermine his oil investment.
Smart people like you are more than capable of understanding the theories tesla discovered and one you understand you cannot go back to what they brainwashed you with as" laws", they are just a set of conditions for specific operations... not laws.
Free yourself from this slave mindset, there are free lunches everywhere
Well if you consider singularity it maybe a free energy phenomenon kinda…
The problem is that at a fundamental level, thermodynamics only applies to closed systems,
and we're not sure our universe is a closed system.
Sorta sucks that a lot of scammers have sufficient knowledge to be producing useful content but would rather fool people into ruining useable goods. You're doing good work, Jeremy!
Simple explanation: not enough imagination or drive to come up with something actually useful or unique so they go with the lazy, easy option.
It's always good to salvage those parts from disposed goods, just because they are useful. You just have to combine the right ones back together and you can learn really useful skills, all the while think in principles.
Why does something work the way it works. Then, when seeing a new one, you get to the point of: should this work on the principles they claim to use and/or did he forget to mention ones that he is bound by.
It's also fun to spot the flaws. It becomes interesting, only after I can't think of and/or find any, right?
A lot of examples, such as those videos of just two hands putting random components together with bad techno or some such music in the foreground and no voice at all....typically with broken english windows movie maker subs....arent meant to really be taken seriously. They're what Ive termed 'flying carpet' or 'magic rope' videos (possibly as a jab towards a region they tend to come from....) They are effectively 'magic trick' joke videos. Its the soccer mom and idiot flattie westerners that get duped by them. And since the duped ones spread the video to their buddies, some of which re-share it because they're also duped, others to laugh at how ridiculous the video is, the creator sees a market for these mock 'build a diy phone charger: with gum and baby poo' kind of videos (there is also the 'make it look as plausible as possible' style, of course) and the end result is a flood of videos that are meant to be an understood silly cultural in-joke with only the odd .... person who does not have or use much brain power and/or didnt get much if anything out of school .... falling for it, and for the rest of us unfamiliar with these cultural norms either half our family falls for them, or it annoys us to the point of making that entire culture look shady and untrustworthy.
Which is made doubly annoying when there are some awesome videos out there of really cool little devices and tricks (probably why that joke style is the way it is honestly....to squeeze into that market for a laugh....except now every video sharing platform is flooded with so much garbage its hard to find the good stuff). There are a handful of channels where the people make little circuits and use the legs of the components as a sort of sculptural structure. I love that kind of stuff! But like hell am I going to seek it on my main account otherwise itll ruin my algorithm weighting.....
Yeah, but..... Global Warming!!!
There are plenty of working free energy devices. A rampjet pump, for example. There are clocks that self-wind (I don't mean wristwatches that convert your arm movement into the clockspring) that operate on minute changes in barometric pressure and temperature. There are of course, windmills that can run a saw or a water pump or generate electricity. There's solar panels etc.
What doesn't exist is overunity devices.
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years. You are a very intelligent guy and are extremely good at teaching without being boring. A lot of the things you teach are useful in everyday situations. I appreciate you.
This man set out to create a machine he knew he wouldn't work so that people would understand. My favorite kind of person going to great lengths just so that someone will learn something
So impressive your engineering skills and understanding of the process is very cool but your motivation is very appreciated by me and I'm sure so many people and you're a great teacher idk if you're compensated for the loss of your time but I guess that's what the sponsors are about but I see the passion for what you do and I am so excited to do this and great full that I chose this video thank you
How do you set up something that doesn't work to make someone understand a supposedly false theory? That sounds very un-smart.
How to say there's probably only won a thousand true free energy devices on the internet cuz I grant you if you seen it running I'm not trying to get money out I don't know why either but I'm just going to stay alive
if you knew free energy actually exist 100%. I KNOW how to create a free energy DEVICE . do you know what you sound like me I'm not got one email from you how to get ahold of you we're I can't prove you wrong.
You are one of my favorite youtube teachers- my son is 7 and showing a lot of interest in science and engineering and how things work. We watch your videos together and even with my experience and education, I still learn something from every single 1. You are a gifted science communicator and need a much larger platform❤.
Look at the infinity generator this fella hasn't got a clue and he's teaching bolloks
@mallyrobo I get the feeling you missed the whole point of the video. You can and are being scammed. They take advantage of the fact that you really hope it’s true. Faking it is even easier than I show in this video. I just didn’t want to make a tutorial on how to scam the internet. Feel free to believe what you want though. I don’t expect to change your mind.
Brother I just want to thank you for the positive, professional & productive image you imbue on your platform.
Mister Fielding, you are a wonderful role-model. I strive to be a better father as often as I can, and your example of open-mindedness, humility, confidence, diligence, patience, integrity, and ingenuity, is one that I can only hope to come close to.
Thank you for all that you do and the knowledge that you share with all of us.
God bless you and yours.

I was really happy to see your comment because that was pretty much what I was able to take away from the video! I'm currently 60 years old and done raising children, having raised 6 kids. I couldn't help but to have feelings of regret for not spending the kind of quality time with my children and being more like the kind of father this man is! Being the sole source of income for all those years, I was always more concerned about being a good provider than being a good father, and before you know it, the time is gone! I grew up in a low income household where we weren't able to have the kind of things that other kids had, like name brand clothes and such, so I always told myself that my kids were going to able to fit in with others their age, having all the things the rest of the kids had, but what I neglected to figure in was the memories! For most of my parenting years, I worked 7 days a week, never turning down work on the weekends, I would do side jobs before work, after work, on weekends, always putting money before relationships! Now I see guys like Jeremy, spending all this quality time with their children, making memories and building relationships with their children, and it just kills me! If I can give one piece of advice that I learned from all my years of parenting, don't let the time get away from you! Take every opportunity to spend quality time with your family because it's going to be your greatest regret as a parent! Time is so precious, it will get away from you before you know it, and there's no getting it back! What an amazing role-model this man is! You summed it up perfectly with what I took away from this video! Thank you for your comment!!
@@brianlybarger6032 Right on brother! Been there, done that!
As I was going through RUclips I found your channel, I am right at home now. FINALLY!! I found like minded people.. well done sir 👍🏻
Thanks for being so honest keep us entertained look forward to seeing your engineering videos
You have a byproduct of your videos. You have a gift for teaching that school teachers could benefit from. Your obviously enjoying your job.
"The more time you spend thinking about the problem, the more problems you find." This is a huge part of why I love science in general! The universe is full of mysteries, and every time we peel back the curtain and gain new knowledge, we find more mysteries to solve that are deeper and more interesting.
"Ethically more flexible" is a solid descriptor for so much of society. Thank you for addressing misinformation.
Important point on power loss: the motor is wrapped with heat sink ribs or fins to cast off heat; the variable transformer is wrapped in sheet meal with holes to cast off heat. Power is always wasted in unusable heat generated by friction.
So if a device has holes or fins you know those are there to dissipate wasted energy in the form of heat
True, about the fins, but friction itself isn't much of an issue in motors. Unless an alleged device is using superconductors, there's resistance in the wiring, and resistance is what generates most of the heat.
That waste heat is the main reason you can't achieve perpetual motion, and any device used to capture waste heat and transform it into energy always demands more energy than it can transform. It's just an impossibility.
The heat in the variac is not due to friction but due to copper and iron losses. The copper losses coming from the resistance in the copper wires of the transformer and the iron losses from how iron magnetizes (hysteresis). These hysteresis losses can also be seen in the no load condition ( 18:08 )
True. Another sign the system is losing energy is that it is making noise. A truly efficient eternal engine would be completely silent.
Why not add rectification for thermal energy?
Oh, wow, I was just looking up free energy debunking videos, couldn't find anything good, went to bed, woke up, and this is the first video on my subs list. Excellent timing.
It's often called "RUclips algorithm", noticed that with 100% of certainity anything you search on Google, anything you write on Faceb.. even in private message, antything you write on Twitt.. and Linked.. you will see that content proposed on RUclips, we are identified as same user on their database on practically every website by AdSence scripts being logged in to Google services on phone enables them to connect that information to one ID - and make feedback loop of content.

I have major respect for your journey of learning, I’ve been watching your channel from early on and you are an amazing teacher who inspires others to learn.
This has been one of the best videos I've seen on this channel. "Strong human emotion combined with a poorly understood topic". It's like the tagline for modern society. Well done Jeremy!
I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover your channel. You have an incredible way of sharing information, it is truly a gift. Thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks Jeremy for reminding me of the deep appreciation I have in the foresight of my father who, when I was a curious young boy, brought home small items like knife switches, dry cell batteries, small permanent magnet motors and many other things. All in pieces, as individual parts. He left these things for me, without explanation, for my own experimentation without any instruction. As curious young people do, it wasn't long before I took a strand of wire and shorted the dry cell battery terminals together. Of course, the wire burned up almost instantly and a short (pardon the pun) time later my father and I had a discussion about why the wire burned up. Resistance, in the wire, causing the electricity to be converted to heat. Eventually, I discovered that to my surprise a permanent magnet motor, when mechanically spun, would generate electricity. Thinking myself a borderline genius, I tied the two motor shafts together and expected the motor acting as a generator to produce enough electricity to turn the shaft of the motor in a continuous feedback loop. My father and I had another brief talk about why that woudn't work ... again he said, resistance in the wires of both motor and generator causing loss of energy, friction in the shaft bearings causing more loss of energy, etc. I could clearly see why my motor to generator experiment failed. These valuable lessons sparked and sustained a curiosity that has lasted a lifetime. I'm 76 years old now and as you speak, I can clearly hear the words of my father. Thanks.
I love how practical this is for life. You don’t get something for nothing! Learning, building, engineering as a person takes work/energy and you get knowledge/wisdom in return. Thanks for sharing yours with us!
The embodiment of the phrase: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”.
Hi from the UK
I love your playdoe analogee
The world needs more teachers like you
Hi Jeremy, thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. I’m a retired engineer, and all of those free energy videos on RUclips drive me nuts. You can’t violate the laws of physics, no matter how good of a magic show you put on.
I see Montgomery Scott has influenced your choice of work details?
Well guess what the big bang violates the laws of thermodynamics, E=mc2 violates the laws of thermodynamics and nuclear power plants violate the laws of thermodynamics. Just saying...
You are talking like a person not thinking on his own... Where did all this endless energy come from we see in the universe? And please don't say''the big bang''. i don't want to die of laughter.
Just because fools on earth can't do it proves nothing.
Free energy exist, but in RUclips 99'99% are fake trash videos to have visits. I know because have a friend engineer that build
In one way it does exist- the sun's energy can be used to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen if the panels can be made to last? It is a problem in everything today if it doesn't break you can't sell endless of whatever you want to sell! I think that it is Henry Ford who is guilty of having invented the idea of not building something that lasts too long time? However, it's now a hopeless situation when we don't manage to build anything in the right way even if we want to and the materials are not endless so sooner or later our economic system is doomed to collapse because you can't have a system who is depending on eternal growing at the same time the resources being rarer and rarer and the nature isn't capable to handle the situation any longer...
I'm glad your able to build this stuff and that you actually have the patience to demonstrate things to people that SHOULD already know better. I'd be extremely frustrated just responding to people.
This is a great channel, I'm glad I found it.
Nice to get to meet you Jeremy. You are a good teacher! I think you are living your dream. How good for you and everyone you touch. 👍
I design e-bike gearboxes for a living, the bicycle analogy portion was fantastic! I will have to send that to many of the non engineer folks I work with! And the part “the more you think about the problem the more problems you find.” I felt that deeply in my soul.
If you hear of an e-bike, dirt cheap, let me know(N.TN).
"Strong human emotion combined with a poorly understood topic" is such a perfectly succinct way to describe the root of so many conspiracy theories. This was a fantastic video, I absolutely love your channel
"Strong human emotion combined with a poorly understood topic" will be the epitaph of the present civilization.
Jimmy you the man I’ve been a motor winder for 40 yrs thanks you made it easy for people
As an electrician and avid fan of anything engineering, you have gained my subscription and respect. Thanks for this awesome content.
Welcome, you're only like 10 years late. 😅
I happened to come across this video and being a person that has absolutely no knowledge about electrical or any other engineering, I very much enjoyed your explanations and demonstration. I will definitely look at more of your content.
I just stumbled upon your video. Well done. You don't make me uncomfortable. You make me comfortable because I see that I am not alone. It is more difficult to convince someone they've been fooled than to fool them. I especially appreciate the way you tied the chicanery of free energy to other topics such as economics, taxation and government. I'm a fan
Thank you I appreciate your work. I am an electrician and that's possibly the best explanation I've seen on how a transformer works. The only thing I would suggest is give people a reference to some generators that use a more readily available energy source. There are some wind generators that are very practical.
Im an electrician as well. Been in the trade for over thirty years, have installed countless three phase transformers, generators, you name it. Believe it or not I didnt really have a fundemental understanding of how electromagnetism works in a generator or transformer until the last decade or so. I understood enough to do my job and probably would have been just fine lacking that knowledge but understanding how and why it works is much more satisfying. Now that I understand it Im shocked (not intended) at how many other electricians dont grasp the fundementals. Always thought it was just me but no, Id even go as far as saying a large majority dont understand something as basic as the water analogy.
Less of a comment on the video and more of a comment on the ad. Your approach to family is beautiful, and I wish more folks would engage in a similar manner. My compliments to you and your family. Observational statement complete.
I love that you just did calculus with playdough 😂 amazing integration technique!!
I think one of the most amazing things about physics is that because it describes reality you can turn it on its head and use reality to solve the equations for you. For example in the 30s a Soviet engineer used this to make a water based computer that solved differential equations related to how fast concrete sets.

Great video! This started out with my intention to buy an electric bike. I mistakenly thought that they were designed to recharge their own batteries. The problem with all these electrical vehicles is as you point out you need energy coming in and so I went down the rabbit hole and found your video. Our now former Mayor had announced that the city would be carbon neutral in 5 years. Now we get some of our power from Quebec which is clean energy as is the dam that we share with a small city just across the bridge from ours but the problem he couldn't surmount was the fact that about 30% or more of our energy comes from a plant that burns wood waste, wood pellets, if it is wood it is burned. He tried to get the citizens of our fair city to call the plant carbon neutral but most of us couldn't check that box with a straight face. So we are running in circles. We will clean the air by not driving gas or diesel powered vehicles but we will need to create electrical energy from somewhere. Hopefully we'll figure it out. It's a pity that Nicola Tesla was not better funded and supported in his time because I believe he was on to something. I have no proof but I feel it, that energy in the air.
My heart breaks for that poor motor you destroyed to make an excellent point. I was on Reddit and one man, 6 years ago, mocked 99% of the population for not understanding the principles of of energy conservation. Even though it was 6 years later I told him that not all of us had an interest in physics or were excited by the idea of electrical engineering in high school. My love was history, civics, and why our Constitution is the law of the land. I spent my life teaching and learning more as I read and research constantly. People say I'm obsessed but I think you understand that because you are making videos about what you love and destroying that beautiful engine says that you are a bit obsessed as well. I learned a great deal and I am putting off buying an electric bike and see if they come up with a better design, my electric bill is high enough and I have two good legs. I'll be back again because I want to see you play with one of Elon Musk's toys.
The quickest way to get where you need to go is a straight line. Every corner/alternative routes results in wasted effort; the same is true with power.
The cup illustration was perfect to help people understand that energy was wasted through each path until it reaches its output
Don't forget the already power you use was generated by someone so there's nothing like straight route
The hardest thing to accomplish when making a free energy "overunity" device is how to hide the power source.
Just try and make it 💯🫡

You are on of the favorite youtube teachers, thank you very much to let us understand how things works👍
Even just the first few minutes where you explain free energy scams is amazing. I will definitely be showing and discussing this video with my young children. It's more interesting and educational than what they're learning in school, I'm sure.
Jeremy, this video is excellent, thank you so much for broaching this subject. I thought I'd share how I was immunized against free energy scams early in life: When I was a kid, I loved carnival rides where you felt weightless, and I didn't understand why you could just "keep doing the weightless part." As a kid (maybe 4th or 5th grade) I didn't understand reference frames, relative motion, etc. so I was always drawing "anti-gravity" machines in my sketchbooks and the thinking went like this: "If you're swinging around in a big circle, like the pirate ship ride, and you feel weightless at the top, but not at the bottom, why not put that pirate ship ride on a bigger pirate ship ride so that on the smaller one's upswing, the big one is at it's downswing, which should cancel it out!" Of course, that doesn't work, and it can never work, but I was consistently adding more and more stages of gyros and swinging arms and elevators and one day it clicked for me: I wasn't getting closer to a solution, I was just obfuscating the mechanism more and more until I could no longer "see why" it wouldn't work.
A few years later when I encountered my first "magnetic turbine" free energy "researcher" online, I instantly recognized the same thought process. You just need to overcome that one last push and it'll run on its own, maybe if you add a few more pulleys and a few more weights and some more magnets and on and on then it seems like it should work, but of course you're just kicking the can down the road. And so I never believed free energy scams for a second because I'd worked that kind of problem organically.
Of course, obfuscating the working principle of a machine is great for scammers because the more complex that something apparently is, the easier it is to gimmick and the more legitimate it seems.
P.S. "Almost forgot the magnets" reminded me so much of "Almost forgot the crystals" in Napoleon Dynamite when they're testing Uncle Rico's "Time Machine"
A slightly more complicated issue there is that your perception of weightlessness isn't the same as actually being weightless.
Well you can get "free" energy from many sources like waterfalls, wind or the sun :) But the energy always have to come from somewhere.
Thank you for this. I love how you changed your thought process and used this as a teaching experience. I think this is a great approach to teaching
Thanks so much for taking the time and expending the energy to create this excellent video. RUclips needs to ban free energy scam videos.
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
As an African American. I’d like to stop pass here just to say. I love your energy, Appreciate your hard work & knowledge putting these videos together. And remind you to Stay The Course. May your way be opened to you.
Jeremy,
You, sir, are a kind and gentle soul with a lot more patience than I have on this subject. Thank you for making this video. Now, instead of wanting to bash holes in a wall with my forehead, I can simply send people a link to this video. I have even had journeyman electricians try to argue with me that free energy is possible, based on some scam video they saw! You have just made my life a little easier! Thank you!
I've got an idea for free energy that really should work, but I haven't got the last step figured out yet. What you do is you take an alternator and you attach it to a stationary bicycle. Then you get your kids to continuously ride the bicycle. Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to keep the kids riding the bicycle. The energy is definitely there, it just keeps running off.
There are varying methods of solving this unique engineering challenge.
Its always best to get everyone on the Team focused and on the same page.
Simply pull your main breaker/fuse and plug that alternator and boost converter to the wall. As long as they want their phones charged, the X-box and TV to work, that should work better than chain retention systems.

Put a TV in front of the bicycle. That's what a friend of mine did to make sure he did some exercise everyday.
I have to say, watching this video as an engineer myself, I love your analogies. Especially the playdough one. I do sometimes give 'classes' to kids, so I am going to use this. It's also a really intuative way to explain intergrals and other stuff. While i deal a lot with motors in mostly servo-controlled drives, they sort of still remain magic to me. I know the basics of them, can calculate the working torques and speeds based on input, know the theory behind them but the details and design of one, well I am a bit at a loss especially when it comes to the newer generation of motors also used on EVs.
Jeremy thanks for going through the teduius task of disassembling the motor, Great to see it. Good job. on everything.
Awesome video. As others have said, your explanations are so simple but still in depth. Love it.
The hardest part of creating a free energy device is where to hide the batteries and how to look surprised when you flip the switch
A device powered by solar power is free energy!
Advice powered by the free electricity in the atmosphere is free energy!
For several more types of free energy!!
Oh im sorry...where is this guys solar panels?
They work almost as good as batteries
literally had to type "free energy" and filter "watched" to find your channel again!
I kept thinking about this video but never found it again!!
But I remembered your face!
So glad I am back!
I’m an engineer, I honestly love perpetual motion and free energy videos. I find them fun to try and think of how they did it. My attention has been given with consent lol
The hardest part is always finding a place to hide the battery.
Or the cable.
There's one place a perpetual motion machine has never been tried and that's in space, away from any gravity pull. I have plans for one but need someone to help me overcome the gravity therefore, removing any force that would stop it. ☺
@@danyf3116 You can ask Elon Musk for help with the gravity part but you will still need a source of enegry for your device to achieve any work.
Hypothetically, I suppose one could rent a Cessna and fly a partial negative g maneuver (pitch up and pitch down), so you have a few seconds of zero g.
Experiment.
when gluing (wood) you should not complete the circles, have it opened ended. S pattern is great, not 8. because this traps bubbles. you'll get an uneven surface. Just as anyone who works with wood, or even glue/caulk.
Good point. One of those simple things that are clear and make sense, but if you only do it once every 2 years one might not consider it.
mm I have not thought of that. I usually make a x so it should be fine, or I make long s pattern snake because it is just easy to do.
Love this channel! This is a great service. I’ve built a lot of electronics kits, but I wish I understood more of what I was doing and not just following instructions. I think I found out where to learn these basics I need. Thanks!
Congratulations, easy, simple and honest!!!!! Very good job to explain something that is impossible to understand for the common people.
Jeremy you are too good, loving this latest video
What I loved most of this video is the philosophical ethical and sociological aspect you covered so well. Applause.
Excellent explanation. The underlying issue here isn't that there is a population of scammers who have gamed the system in order to garner ad revenue. The issue really is that fewer and fewer people understand how the universe works, and so the work of the scammers is made quite easy. If you don't recognize it's a bear trap you are more likely to step in it.
The deplorable state of science education in this country.
Thank you sir! As an engineer I get sent these scam videos all the time from my friends. I used to break it down for them... that got old after the tenth time. So now I just tell them "There's no free lunch!" 🙂
Thank you!
My favorite free energy generator is the solar panel. Although it’s only a free energy generator when the power companies are not charging you for giving them your power.
I liked your clear cups example. Another metaphor with cups is having a cup with a larger diameter than the other cup. Transferring water from one to the other results in the water being more/ less as deep, but having more/less surface area.
TANSTAAFL is a law for a reason.
I feel smarter every time I listen to your wonderful explanations.
The only perpetual energy is wind, sun, water and my wife's mother who never ever stops talking. 😅😊
Try shoving a power cord up your MIL’s butt. That might reduce your utility bills 😂😂😂
😂
wrong.
Good one. I have a boat powered by solar. Amazing how many people tell me to put a generator powered by motion through the water to recharge the batteries.
I absolutely LOVE your attitude about our current situation with technology, and life in general. I had a lot of trouble understanding the technical details of your video but it was still worth my time to watch. I watched this video since I live off the grid totally in the Alaska wilderness and am always looking for alternatives to my micro-hydro system which only operates in the warmer months due to freezing in the winter. Have a 12 volt deep cycle battery bank - 8 6 volt batteries. Wired together for a 12 volt inverter to convert to 120 volt power and then to a breaker box to run the system like one would have in town.
Anytime you’d like to contact me about my system, feel free. I’d be happy to learn more from you and to share the details of my several systems with you.
Many thanks! You rock!
While going through the comments in Jeremy's lecture I was looking for a comment like yours interested to see someone who has achieved a fit in similar direction of alternative energy management. Yours is good comment presented in a polite and straight forward way which undoubtedly is a true position. The question of power source has been my trouble while going through two of those videos on free energy, I concured with Jeremy on his report about energy source. But he has a lot to debunk because in some of those videos you can see a number of demonstrations without external sources for continuous supply.
Thank you for making your observations known in the mist of choruses against free energy. After all, Dalton's theory which trended for centuries was recently debunked. Wind and solar electricity are recent developments
Hey! I’d like to learn about your system!
Thank you for all of us engineers I'm sick of the
Free Energy scam videos.
Thanks Jeremy. You know your spitting into the wind with this one. Scammers are going to scam and certain people are still going to believe them but, hopefully if more people like you make this ""science"" known, then less will be scammed. Keep up the good work
i watched all your 3 videos and it feels like I got back to where i was studying in high school.
And many people are so hooked to get free energy unless and they don't understand how energy really works.
I’m a teenager and I know that… the rule for thermodynamics is: you can not create or destroy energy
One of the most annoying questions that was repeated over-and-over again was the free energy question in its various forms. Teaching as a Master Training Specialist (Electricity/Electronics) in the US Navy and 22 years College Industrial Electricity/Electronics to Electricians, Technicians, and those who went on to be E/E engineers gave me an understanding why people did not understand and I tried to be as nice as I could with that knowledge. Trying to convince them was hard because of the bad stories coming from others that was imprinted in their mind.
Non-engineering folks get a pass on believing in free energy.
Anyone else in school or trades who does is simply showing they don't understand the basics and should have been failed.
I wish I had had you as a teacher back in my day, I'm 66 now, and your explanations make perfect sense. I never understood this at school no matter how many times it was explained to me.😎
Absolutely brilliant video Jeremy. The generator that fascinates me is the Hendershot generator. The plans are available on the net and I have seen a video where it actually works. (AKULA) I would love to see you build one of these to either prove or disprove that it can provide light. We are in fact surrounded by energy and I believe that there must be a way that we can tap into it and use it constructively. I have tested Tesla's static energy collector and it does in fact collect static energy. The voltages are extremely high and unpredictable and also not that consistent. At times I get useful and useable energy, but it is never "free" as the materials , safety measures and time do cost - one has to weigh up these factors as well as mechanical loss in a system. I have also seen converted gas motors running on hydrogen and water powering standard generators providing useful power outputs. These do have an initial cost as well as a maintenance cost - so are not actually free - but long term are portable, efficient and much cheaper than gas run motors. Modifications to these motors require spark timing changes to account for faster burn rate of HHO as well as water vapor injection to provide flash steam and if necessary turbo's to ensure correct HHO volume into the cylinder. The HHO gas generators also consume a lot of electrical energy and safety is really vital as this gas is highly reactive. I dream of poor kids in emote rural areas having the ability to flip a switch and have light and power to be able to cook food and study, read in safety - too many in my country are held back due to absolute poverty. There has to be a way to do this efficiently and safely!
HHO is yet another case of "you can't get more energy out of it than you put in". Whatever energy you get from burning the hydrogen and oxygen, will not exceed the energy you needed to use to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. In fact you will get less, due to each step being less than 100% efficient.
If this hendershot generator is a thing that produces more energy than it consumes, then the video you saw was at best flawed in its measurement, and more likely just a scam. There simply is no way to generate energy out of nowhere. Wind turbines take energy from moving air, hydroelectric gets it from the gravitational potential of falling water, and perpetual motion machines _do not work, period_ .
Free energy is REAL until your neighbor finds the cord!
The best teachers just help us to see the same reality with new eyes - and a new understanding 💕
You should build and review a Thunderstorm Generator. When attached to a fossil fuel engine, it supposedly greatly reduces emissions while increasing fuel efficiency.
'Alchemical Science' has a complete DIY build guide explaining exactly how to make one.
The trick with free energy is how to hide the battery/extension cord.
Yea and with how strong lithium batteries are these days it makes it very easy
You are so awesome, Jeremy! Thank you for taking the time and all this effort to share all this with us!
You are a fantastic educator, Jeremy. I'm an engineer with nearly 40 years experience, and I love watching your videos, even if I know the subject very well.
I've also learned a lot from your videos, proving that you can teach an old dog new tricks. 😊
You are very charismatic in your delivery, which makes you very entertaining to watch. Turning education into entertainment is what makes you a great educator, and I envy the youth of today who have free access to videos such as yours.
You sir are educating future generations of engineers, technicians, designers, mechanics etc. with your ''anyone can get their head around this'' style of educational video, and I doff my cap in your general direction. You are an inspiration. 🫡
Not even considering the other red flags, the second you had to stick magnets to the transformer I clocked it as fake. That is the number 1 red flag in these devices. These guys use magnets like they have unknowable magic properties.
Exactly, history has proven time and time again that the majority of people don't understand how magnets actually work. They mistakenly (understandably) get this idea that the magnet itself has "power" that can be extracted or leveraged in some way to do work, or that the forces that magnets seem to produce is some sort of stored energy just waiting to be extracted, this is reinforced by the knowledge that a magnet will appear to exhibit a pulling or pushing force on another object, or especially another magic, so if you could somehow use that attractive or repulsive "force" that magnets appear to have within them, you could extract energy from it somehow. Magnets aren't batteries, nor are they "extracting" energy from radiation, the sun/earth's magnetic field or somehow pulling energy from an unknown dark energy source, and while it's true that if you have a magnet and bring another magnet closer to each that they will either create a felt interaction where they are trying to pull themselves together or push apart for each other, what they're really doing is taking the actual power you are using try try to push them together or pull them apart to overcome the magnetic force of their static magnetic fields, and then essentially feeding it back as either resistance pushing back, or resistance in pulling them apart. It's easy when lacking some fundamental understanding of magnetic fields and forces along with physics to think you could take advantage of this perceived "force" that makes magnet ls want to pull or push each other away and get that "force" to do some work that can be extracted as energy, as though that "force" is a source of input power, but the person or another source must generate the input power, the magnet can then just transfer that energy to another magnet (or ferromagnetic material), and without visual indicators that our brains normally use to determine relationships of objects transferring energy (gears, wires, motors, etc), it gives people the belief that the magnets themselves are doing the work.
If anything, the prevalence of how widely misunderstood magnetism and magnetic fields is amongst the US population and how often it's exploited in these over-Unity devices speaks volumes to how terrible our education system has been over the last 30 years. We can't expect people to know or understand these fundamental science facts / laws if we don't teach and then continuously reinforce that knowledge in school as people are developing the foundation for how they will view and interact with the world around them.
I noticed these people often use worst case scenarios, like for example toroidal transformer + magnet, obvious there are hidden wires, most of content it's no different than "5 minutes craft" total waste of time.
@@KabelkowyJoe that's the whole point of the genre, it's exactly the same content production model. They know damned well that 99.999% of viewers aren't actually going to try to recreate any of it, so exactly like how those 5 min crafts or 30 life hack clip / video channels that were so popular a few years ago survived and thrived.
To be fair, magnets do kinda have magic properties. It's all essentially just witchcraft anyhow. I mean... Hell, I learned about science from a guy named Mr. Wizard.
I love your sense of humor and making of COMMON SENSE!
We need more people like Jeremy. Great guy!
There is one thing in this man.
The humble he captivate me is the true giffted brave man.
I love not to speak how large dogs will attack you.
Be blessed.
I feel smart now. thank you for bringing the formula down to 5th grade level. this was really entertaining, fun and educational. keep up the great work. hope to see more free energy videos break down
I am so happy to see how much your channel has grown. Let's go for the 1 Million Jeremy!
Bro.......the way approach, present, describe & just truly understanding everything & how it specifically works.....I must admit.....it's beyond inspiring man......your truly talented.......be patient your time is coming.....congrats to you & your family! 🎉
Perfect. I've seen a myriad of videos with this experiment but I wanted to have an overview diagram for the connections of the modified transformers and so on. I'll stand by. Thank you very much.
BRILLIANT! YOU ARE AN EXTRAORDINARY TEACHER, AND ENGINEER, COLLEGE DEGREE OR NOT. I'M SUBBED.
Bruh, just your smile and demeanor had me sold on your subscription in the first 30 seconds. Captivating so far.
Great video Jeremy, i am an electrical engineer with 25years of experience in the industry. Its absolutely true that where there is little knowledge or a poorly understood topic and a need , a scam is created. I even get fellow engineers questioning and doubting themselves.
Really appreciate your videos you are truly awesome instructor and you do know your current voltage and amps. Good job!
I always love this guys videos; he is just so awesome in instructions and personality. keep it up.
Thank you for the info. Take care of that beautiful family!
I wish I could watch you do these experiments I've always been so excited about possibilities looking for new things and figuring out how things work cuz they're here now.
This was one of the best videos I’ve watched. Brilliant
I don't ever believe those "free energy" scams, but I still enjoyed your explanation. It helped me understand transformers better than I did before. 😊
I enjoy your videos! I understand the concept but could never explain it is well as you do. Thanks for the great videos!
