    The Most Staggering Presentation You'll Ever See
    Nigel Cheese is a self proclaimed professor AND doctor. He thinks that he has stumbled across an idea which will solve the energy crisis. Sit back and watch the delusion drip off the screen.
    Enjoy...
    Thank you all for watching.

      I see what he's trying to do, you're correct it won't work, but not for the reason you think or he thinks. He's creating a micro split slit experiment. He's forcing virtual particle duplication in an effort to generate "more energy" than is actually present. On a superficial level it may appear to work with limited detection, but in reality there's a quantum balancing act happening and he's actually losing energy by splitting a single photon along multiple layers of waveform division. He's effectively detecting the same output multiple times from a single photon pulse and thinking he's getting more energy than he actually is. Hilarious.

    Okay, hang on, so something like this could be possible in theory. Dude would put a "catalyst" into his box, run a small current into the front and get lots of energy out the back. Fully possible
    What he's not saying is that the additional energy must have been stored as chemical energy in the "catalyst" in the first place, and his machine needs a constant supply of this "catalyst" almost like some sort of fuel 🤔

While this guy comes along and makes a positive claim, while phrasing it as a negative claim. Like saying “The earth isn’t a globe” would have the burden of proof regardless considering how much evidence we have towards the globe model, but that’s not even all it is, they also start making claims it’s flat afterwords but act like since they started it with a “pseudonegative” statement, that everything they say after is irrelevant. Like you can’t claim the globe model has burden of proof only to make hundreds of positive claims afterwords. Like they have wayyy more of the burden of proof even if they DIDNT lay on hundreds of BS pseudoscientific claims, as the globe model has so much evidence at this point that you’d have to be an absolute moron to say otherwise.

  • @HerraTohtori
    @HerraTohtori 2 роки тому +3

    14:14 "320 x 160 x 10mm = 83.4 watts per hour"
    This equation is amazing. Ignoring that "watts per hour" is rather a non-standard and probably meaningless unit in the context, there is no dimensional analysis that could turn a volume of 512 cubic centimetres into "power per time".
    1 Newton = 1 kg m/s²
    1 Joule = 1 N * 1 m = 1 kg m²/s²
    1 Watt = 1 J / 1 s = 1 kg m²/s³
    1 Watt / hour = 1/3600 1 kg m²/s⁴
    Unit that expresses "watts per time" would only be relevant in a situation where you are measuring the rate of change in power, so... the power extracted from a device with this size changes (increases or decreases?) by 83.4 watts during an hour of measurement?
    But that is a very charitable interpretation that ignores the fact that he has written an expression that has only millimetres as units on one side, but the other side somehow also has kilograms and seconds in the units.
    In order for a physics expression to even be considered to be correct, it has to have the same units on both sides. Even the most rudimentary dimensional analysis reveals this is clearly not the case here.
    This person knows nothing about science, physics, chemistry, or reality. He either lives in a world of his own delusion, or he is a very bad con artist. He has no idea about the distinction between energy and power, and probably also no idea what entropy is and why the laws of thermodynamics are certainly not "falsehoods".

Us trying to explain that A) No, it wasn't the "same" electrons and B) it was the "motive force" for electrons produced by primary sources that was being sold by power companies fell on deaf ears.
      My favorite was his plan for the fully self-sustaining electric vehicle (this was years before EVs/hybrids were commonly available). His explanation was that he would attach a generator to each wheel so that as they spun they would recharge the vehicle's battery. We tried to explain how the generators would be producing drag on the turning wheels (i.e. how regenerative BRAKES on a modern EV works) and how due to inherent inefficiencies he would actually be losing more power than he would be gaining. He thought about it for a bit and then brightened up and announced his new plan: attach TWO generators to each wheel!

      Li-Ion batteries can spontainious combust. There are enough examples, like the Samsung Note 7 issue.
      Li-ion batteries are a collection of cells, small plastic containers all designed to hold the Lithium inside. Is a cell damaged, the freed Lithium can cause a fire. That fire can damage other cells, which then release more Lithium. You will have a chain reaction and even when the flames go out, damaged cells can take a while to fail and re-ignate the fire.
      This is a known issue and the batteries in drones will be designed to take a hit. However, the issue with the Samsung Note 7 was that the battery had not enough room to swell (yes, batteries become bigger when charged) resulting in physical damaged cell and a fire.
      The only way to combat a Li-Ion fire is to take a way the heat. If possible, submerge the battery in enough water and let it cool down for a few hours. The Li-Ion can burn under water, but the heat will go into the water and not the other cells. You can't do anything about the fire, only stop the chain reaction of failing cells.

      Compartmentalise m8, no one is claiming Mr Cheese is legit in his main claim, he is defo a Narcissist, and clearly has a delusional complex of some kind.The poor guy is obviously very high on the dunning kruger scale. But his claims about Tesla and EV's in general is about the most factual statements he made. i don't get even the vague impression that anyone in this thread is 'supporting' Mr Cheese or his main claims.
      There are plenty of "EV deep dives" on youtube mostly produced by electrical engineers that explain in detail the hidden resources inputs into EV's, and the consequences that has for actually reducing peoples energy footprint. If your unfamiliar i suggest a quick search......
      Depending on where on the planet you live (and therefore what source your local grid electricity comes from) its quite possible to run an EV with a higher carbon footprint than a modern IC car.
      Its NOT complex the energy for said EV has to come from a grid somewhere and many grid sources are not even close to low carbon.
      Add the large EV component manufacturing footprint to the mix and the current picture for EV's can look pretty environmentally negative in some locations. This will naturally improve as grid sources become more renewable and low carbon based .... but thats NOT where we are now.
      There is no question that Lithium batteries are definite fire risks, they don't explode but they do very happily and readily burst into flames. I fly race Quad copters (drones) as a hobby and have stacks of lithium batteries, and am used to charging and managing them. In the hobby its common to have fire proof battery bags and Sandboxes for charging and storing lithium batteries, as fires are common.
      Are they more dangerous than a petrol tank? Almost certainly not but the hazard still exists.
      you should get of the kindergarten idea that someones bad take in one domain necessarily poisons EVERYTHING they say in other domains.
      If a climate change denier states "vaccination is a great public health strategy and should be promoted vigorously everywhere on the planet" am not arguing with that statement just because i fundamentally disagree with their other position on climate change.
      Because to do so renders you the same type of stimulus response non analytical consciousness as THEY are.
