A Machine to Die For: The Quest for Free Energy- Documentary online
I thought this was interesting especially the Norwegian and the Frenchman's
stuff. The Norwegian is considered a true genius in art and Mathematics.

I didn't google the Frenchman's bio


Anyway thought I would share on the conservation of energy
and my science friends.

About the Google documentary


Machine to Die For is about the search for perpetual motion and free energy.
Conventional science claims this is impossible, yet generations of inventors have been mesmerized by the promise of an engine that powers itself.
The world’s reliance on diminishing fossil fuel resources and the associated problems of pollution serve to spur them on.

A Machine to Die For showcases a number of dedicated, sometimes eccentric, and always obsessive individuals who have devoted their lives to this quest.
The documentary could be used as a resource when studying motion and simple machines in secondary science and physics.

It could also serve as a springboard for discussions about inventors and inventions and the history of scientific endeavors. It would be suitable for teachers of middle to senior secondary students in Science.

1. Amusing documentary.
One comment about the device at the end.
If it was indeed the sun that had something to do with the device turning the obvious question is "does it work at night?".

2. The Frenchmen's stuff is still being looked at
as is the Norwegian's.

The US's guys not so much.
I like the addiction thing that was discussed.

Glad you watched it

I thought it was well done by the ABC the Australians

You really do get to see more things on the net
than what your TV will ever show you.

Its one of my favorite sites for documentaries and comments BTW.
recommended docs has a great one
Philosophy the key to happiness.
6 or 7 part series.
