The New Energy Source for Humanity Is Discovered

CHATSWORTH, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/13/2006 -- Gravitomatic, Inc. is happy to announce that our 5 years long research of gravity resulted in a breakthrough discovery of a new energy source for humanity. Our revolutionary technology generates heat from the energy of the gravitational field of our planet. The latest round of experiments not just confirmed our theory, but also dramatically extended it. Based on our latest results, we see our road map as follows:

-- In three years we'll have the first commercially available
gravitational electrical power plant.
-- In four to five years the first commercial car engine powered by
gravity will hit the road.

Cars, trucks, ships which do not need refueling, cleaner air in our cities and many, many more things, are becoming reality thanks to our discovery.

Effective immediately this revolutionary technology is available for licensing.

Remember this simple rule. If it is too good to be true it probably is. This is obviously bogus, if it was worth any merit it would have made its way onto cnn.com under technology or science and space. This is another group of dumb people that don’t understand the laws of physics, and are trying to wow people.

The best way you can tell this is bull shit is to read the quote:

"In three years we'll have the first commercially available
gravitational electrical power plant.
In four to five years the first commercial car engine powered by
gravity will hit the road."

Anyone that knows beforehand exactly what their discovery is going to do in the next three years is a total lying bastard.

Well I don't think CNN is the be all and end all to independant and unbiased journalism.

yeah, yeah, i agree that cnn isnt the be all and end all of info, but it still sounds retarded. do they even realize that gravity is the weakest force? why dont they harness the power of the electromagnetic force if they can do things like this?

if they cant explain the theory so that it makes sence, then it A) probably wont work B) is too complex to put into mass production in every car in america.

I reckon I know how to explain this away, assuming it follows conventional physical rules. Magnetic energy can only be generated by crossing magnetic fields. In order to cross a field, you need to expend more energy than anything less than a 100% efficiency transfer would allow.

Definitly sounds like a hoax. The generic, crappy name "Gravitomatic" aside, Market Wire is a destributer, and so has no real credability. This just sounds like the kind of thing you would find in your junk email box, along side the "miracle life insurance" and "hot grannies for you" spam.


So I'm basically awesome.

It's an obvious fake for one simple reason: gravity can pull it down, but it takes the same energy to pull it up again. Gravity is simply potential energy, not an actual energy source, so it is simply impossible to have a cyclic motor for energy production (which is necessary in both cars and power plants).

Put simply, for any energy you would gain from gravity, you would expend it again raising the thing which fell. It must be a hoax through impossibility.

Note the lack of diagram, or indeed, any real explanation of how it works.

Also, the stie (conviniently down) really doesn't look like it was ever meant to be put up.

Is this real?

Yes. It's quite possibly real. But even if it's real (as in it exists) it doesn't work. Ever seen the show MythBusters? They did an episode on these so called free-energy machines. This is what this is. And it won't work, or at the very least, won't work as well as stated.

So, let me get this straigh, your proof that this is legit is that you have included it in a list?
Gravity is only potential energy. It can be used as an energy source, such as in hydroelectric dams, but there is no feasible way to "generate heat from the energy of the gravitational field of our planet", so until I see some actual physics behind this, I'm labeling it as bullshit.

Now shut up.

what is flying except throwing yourself at the ground and missing? what is an orbit except the same thing at a much higher altitude? i dont know if that has anything to do with the topic at hand, but i just wanted to throw that out there.
Gravity is the weakest force in physics, following the ratio of size affected to total power. since Gravity affects the largest area, the Power, or force, of gravity is lessened. since atomic bonds affect only the space between atoms, it is nearly impossible to seperate 2 atoms once they have bonded.
also, gravity is not an object, nor is it possible to measure gravity. we CAN measure the force gravity exerts upon things, but gravity is not an object! gravity is merely the attraction of atoms to each other. every object has some gravity, however miniscule, and the more mass an object has, the more pull it exerts upon other objects. Heat cannot be generated except from friction or a chemical reaction. you Can use gravity to increase the amount of friction there is, this is what causes space shuttles to burn up without the heatshields.
if anyine still follows me, then good for you, im just ranting here anyway.

Well, there's only two forces: electroweak forces and gravity. So you can think of gravity as the 2nd strongest force.

I thought that gravitons carry energy in the form of relativistic momentum, despite the fact that they are massless. In fact, I even heard of a theory that gravitons are momentons (carriers of momentum, it would explain a lot really).

I'm not sure they're after money . . . I saw no mention of donations, just an email address; though they may just be waiting for people to show interest before begging money.

They just look like your average attention whores to me.

Thats the way scams work. They find the people that are gullible, try to make it look real or at least convince them it is. After they get your e-mail they bombard you with all these ways "you can get involved" at only a small cost that will have large pay off in the end.

Then they ask for a wire transfer or ask you to send the money ot a pobox that isn't associated with their real names and they never speak to you again or give you the run around.

Yeah, but that's different from straight up accessible energy.

There are four fundamental forces. Electromagnetism, gravity, Strong nuclear and weak nuclear.

Graviy is the weakest of the four.

I personally think this is BS. If we could really get heat from just earths magnetic field with no expendature of resources it would be publisised. This reminds me of the cold fussion hoax where some idiots pretended to create more energy from energy(electrical). Anyway being only a softmore in high from what i do know about the gravotational field is that in order to get heat energy from it you must apply kinthetic(corect me if i am wrong) energy to a substance and let it fall. then you can use a turbine to convert the kinthetic to mecanical and then electrical. This is how hydro e- dams work. Anyway i seriously doubt this can be used in cars.

Okay im just assuming for now this is true....imagine how much of Gravity energy so to speak you would have to harness to make it even useful.....not worth it really.
