      The year is 2033, cyber crime has been eradicated. Nuclear fusion is achieved, global peace is established, nature is restored, and Computer Clan is struggling to make a convincing video about cyber scams. Desperate to feed the algorithm addiction, in the millions, now corporate property of alphabet inc, Computer clan desperately crafts a scam unlike any other scam.

    The upcoming drone episode will be fun. I used to work for a company that sold those (plus those swamp coolers, the monoculars, and the fake watches). The fake drone was the biggest piece of junk ever. It was so weak, even with the slightest gust of wind, it would drift away, even if going full throttle against the wind. I ended up crashing it into a neighbors apartment while testing. Shitty camera and useless app too. It was advertised 4k and we had footage in the marketing made by professional thousand dollar drones, like zipping through traffic, over cliffs, etc. but the thing could not even fly straight in a residential street.

      ​​​@@snakewithapen5489That's more to do with the lengthy process of getting complex stuff approved to fly in the air. And overall makes it harder to systematically prove safety and redundancy. It's easier to show how and why a switch might fail, versus a whole computer. Although there's generally a lot of motivation to switch from mechanical systems to electrical, not the least because they're often easier to maintain. For example, electric conductors don't experience the same wear and tear as mechanical systems. It's also more lightweight.

    2. Small, ground mounted solar panels that can be installed in your backyard to power your house?
    3. Devices that purport to eliminate "planned obsolescence" on e.g. smartphones?
    4. What is "planned obsolescence"?

      Here are examples from a quick google search
      "For example, some physicists have proposed that quantum fluctuations in the vacuum of space can create particles and antiparticles out of nothing, which then annihilate each other and return to nothing. This phenomenon is called quantum vacuum fluctuation or quantum foam. Another example is the inflationary epoch, a brief period of extremely rapid expansion that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. During this period, the energy density of the universe remained constant, while the volume of space increased exponentially.

    lul, the concept of energy generation on a self feeding loop would involve some how improving efficiency to an over combined 100%... which would involve either something extensively massive that manages to bootstraps a primer intake into excessive bursts & exceptional strict limiters to prevent parts from moving faster than they should.
    Then whe you've hit enough of a critical mass at one end, that simple magnet generation a along wires can generate enough power to fully trigger the start of the 'loop', putting continous trickle charge bursty batteries meant just to power the intake while also recieving charge, would complete the look and you use another bootstrap with what's left of the power and methods used for this would be pure benefit outside of the exceptionally obvious downtime for Maintenace. because materials wear & tear.
    Though what I find absolutely funny is that we could power a boot strapping stepping stone with slower high torgque LONG magnent series, and build bankds of batteries off of it that burst into higher compacity batteries, and step up again. The problem we have is storage & Transmission of 'power' on a realistic scale.
    High enough torque could prove ... interesting in results, if we use light enough & strong enough magnets, on a long enough partitioned cylinder that also has lead barriers to help mitigate the flow of eletricity not effecting other wires next to it. Seems to me, that the physics of spinning metal like things along a cylinder could be overcome with strong enough light weight material & scaling down of an output target.

He died in 1959 so his work is pretty. much history. He discovered what most folks know, there is no such thing as free energy. One of his machine's was a small electric motor that powered a car generator (alternators were yet to be invented) It did run for some time once started using a 6 volt car battery, but eventually friction overcame the power and it came to a stop.

    OK, this is what I concocted; a heavy truck wheel sitting on an axle mounted with ball-bearings..on the one side a12v dc motor connected to 4x12v golf cart batteries in parallel. on the other side of the axle, an alternator charging the batteries. The trick is the circuit-box I got with a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W programmed to start the motor when the wheel drops beyond ideal speed. 230v ac derived from batteries via inverter. All this boxed into a decent-looking container and also additionally charged with a 1x2m solar panel. Obviously this won't run forever thanks to Isaac Newton, but it keeps my setup running during these pesky load-shedding times here in South Africa. .. 😉

    That reading of the Perpetual Motion Cocktail recipe being a parody voiceover of Bar Rescue was a nice touch.

    I knew it was fake from the beginning but I really enjoyed your video and I totally agree, you need to check your credit card, they may only wanted to get your details, lots of these awful scammers out there.
