   Energy scams

   From: jim.richards65@yahoo.com   
      
   There are two simple Energy Laws that govern the generation of energy,   
   they are both laws of physics as we currently understand physics that   
   can’t broken without re-writing laws of physics that have withstood   
   every challenge to their validity for decades.   
      
   If an energy plan is not conforming to these laws there is something   
   wrong either with the laws of physics (not likely) or the way that   
   energy plan is being presented.   
      
   Energy Laws:   
   1) Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form   
   to another.   
   2) The conversion of energy from one form to another always consumes   
   some of the energy from the source and the converted energy is always   
   less the source.   
      
   For example:   
   Combustion engines (either internal or external) convert heat derived   
   from fuel, to expand gases, to creating motion, and the energy of   
   rotating engine shaft is always less than the source energy of the   
   fuel.   
      
   Wind or water provides the motion for turbines, and the energy of   
   rotating turbine shaft is always less than the source energy of the   
   wind or water driving it.   
      
   There are a lot of energy scams out there and like the Wizard if Oz;   
   these scams are only believable if no one looks behind the curtain,   
   and in fact, the very reason there is a curtain is to hide the scam.   
      
   If a magician pored 1 gallon of water down a "magic pipe", and two   
   gallons came out, everyone would say that was a nice illusion, but no   
   one would say it's real, same thing with poring nickels down the   
   "magic pipe" and having dimes pop out, just an illusion.   
      
   The same should be true when some scammer wants people to believe   
   they’re poring 1kW of electricity into his magic pipe and 2kw are   
   popping out, the difference is, the magician is trying to entertain   
   people and scammers try to harm people.   
      
   They want you to believe something can be made from nothing if we all   
   just had their magic pipe, but there is NO such thing as a magic pipe,   
   and the time tested reality is, all such claims are absolute   
   non-sense.
