Making A Difference: Discovery Of The Magic Bullet

My e-mail is all lit up. The phone hasn’t stopped ringing. People are contacting me right and left wanting to know my opinion about the latest energy “magic bullet”. You know, the device that will supply unlimited amounts of electricity at no cost, except for the $99.99 fee charged for the unit. Or the device that is not being sold, but plans to build one with parts from any hardware store are available for a small fee, and this fee can only be determined if you access the website via the “covert” or “secret” link.

A short time ago, questions were about the “bloom box”, which uses a fuel source such as propane or natural gas to generate electricity, yielding only water as a by-product. With large companies such as Siemens and Google testing the “box”, credence was lent to the approach. I have no doubt that the device works. But, one is still dependent on, and subject to other’s pricing whims for, a fuel supply to operate it. This technique may be a little better than the norm, but it still has the big problem of not absolutely controlling future costs.

The latest craze seems to be a perpetual motion motor that supplies the energy to get itself running, then generates copious amounts of electricity at no cost. All you have to do is access the website using a “secret” link, purchase the plans, rush to the nearest hardware store to procure the needed parts, build the device, then enjoy the free energy.

Both of these ideas ARE the magic bullets, for their creators. If they sell 100,000 of the devices or plans for $99.99, they have just nearly made themselves a millionaire! In the process, you are $99.99 poorer and no better off than when you started. And, in the case of the “bloom box”, if you also own a piece of the fuel source industry used to supply it, you are really set!
