@@Jorden.Florence if you're talking about his error identifying the city, he has adressed that, stating he was happy to be corrected and will be talking about it when he's home from vacation. At the moment, any video that comes out is already finished and scheduled to go public, so there's nothing he can add to them now without taking time away from being with his family, just to reply to something that really isn't important right now. He'll get to it. Promise. 👍😉
I think I worked out how he did it He reversed the polarity of the neutron flow inside the dillithium core matrix by bombarding it with an inverse photonic beam inside a dense fluidic substrate Pretty simple when you think about it
Impossible! How could he control the alignment of matrix lattice growth without creating a piezoelectric effect likely resulting in a seismic shift in the earth's crust? Unless... unless of course he used a tachyon field buffer to shield the matrices.... That could actually work Geordi. Let's get Data to run the simulation on the Holodeck.
I’m sorry, but you forgot to mention the dysonium injectors which are used to generate the tachyons which penetrate the berillium sphere resulting in a phased conversion of the 50 atoms of ytrium to a crystalline matrix.
Once again it’s the authority in their voice and sounding totally credible that gets me….Then the words “Dunning Kruger” drift into my mind and an episode of SciManDan airs, and all is well. Thanks Dan
@@meatmobile You're right, no doubt about that. But people with a convincing apperance will usually be able to convine others more easily than insecure people, even if the insecure people are correct. Unless it is plain obvious that they are talking nonsense. Unfortunately
I'd have no problem thinking up a free energy device and explaining to you in vast details how it is going to work. With the only problem being that it can't actually work the way I am explaining it.
Unless I missed it I never heard him explain the energy input side of the equation. How do you put energy into PCAMS? Also, since storage batteries have an output equal to the energy input minus the various losses or inefficiencies of the system it has a finite output for a finite time before you have to add energy. If his device is perpetual and infinitely scalable why is it only 477 times more efficient?
Because you are using your brain and have knowledge. To understand Pscam you have to be dumb, gullible, ignorant, an example of Dunning-Kruger and/or missing a few brain cells, or being deluded like flatearter.
Actually, the input does not detemine the electric energy, but the usage, Maybe this is one part of his misunderstanding If you connect a 5W device to an electric circuit, the used energy would be 5Wh (using hour as time measure). If you connect a 10W instead, you certainly would double the used energy. The electric current in the second example is also doubled due to constant voltage. If you have a limited capacity, in the second example the time of providing the energy is halved. So, you have won nothing.
I'm going to repeat the same thing I said on the last video about this guy. I don't think he's a scammer I think he's just a sad individual looking to role play that he's a fantastic success. He's loving all the little details like talking about the specific numbers and how if you had two of them together it equals two of them both in size and in power output, he's done with that minimal bit of math and it feels satisfying to him. I don't know where those videos of his go or if he ever presents any kind of evidence, but if he doesn't that backs up my impression. It's trivially easy to make a fake free energy machine you can find many of them on youtube. Or you hide a power supply in it basically. But I think building anything like that is too much for the professor doctor. I dare say that if he could make something like that he would be able to get enough satisfaction and self validation out of building even simple things and wouldn't need to go online and pretend to be a super genius. I also will point out that he acts like he's giving this information away to the world for the benefit of all mankind, he signs off by telling people to use this knowledge for good. But he tells very little. Others have interpreted that as being part of the scam and that makes sense, but I just think he's not creative enough to come up with any details. He tells the story of the manufacturer is telling him that a certain component has a certain lifetime but he can't come up with what that component is because he doesn't understand what might be in such a thing. That's why he focuses so much on the trivia of the numbers of the dimensions of the thing instead of the fact that he claims to have broken fundamental laws of physics. He can handle the numbers of a small box of arbitrary size. He can do the grade school math of multiplying one box by two or however many. So that's what he focuses on.
Yeah, he acts like he’s giving the solution to humanity, for our benefit, at no charge, right? But not only does he tell us very little, in the last video there are sections of his visual info that he’s covered up and hidden, due to “thieves, especially in America”!
So, they are indefinitely "stackable" are they? So, how does one take out the Terawatts of energy from a 500km side length energy generator? What kind of cables do you use? Also, why does Nigel not power his house with his own invention?
Plus, if something like this would get stacked that much, imagine the heat. I could see a power generator box like this melt right through the earth xD
why would he do that? he lives on his starship and he is on a 5 year mission to seek out strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
yeah. . . space would make that even worse. massive thermal energy rates, PLUS not way to dissipate it easily? in the immortal words of Ralf Wiggums; "I'm in danger"
@@Roozyj He's going to put it against the ice wall at the edge of the earth to keep it cool. Also, if it were truly 100% efficient as he claims it shouldn't have any heat loss. Also, also, If you have an energy source with no limitation on how quickly or how much energy it can release you have a massive arc flash potential, much more so than his Tesla "bomb". He's such a fool.
You've got to kind of admire the guy reaching late middle age still with so much optimism. It's just that he edited out the important bit, where his grandkids said, "Grandpa, can we have our Legos back now?" and he answered, "Not now, dearies, I'm saving the world."
@@Despicablehobbit I am pretty sure he is under the impression that governments and companies and banks are the ones that keep him from developing this into an actual, working product.
I built a 20 layer mirror box and installed 100w lightbulb into it. Every layer reflects light energy back into bulb. Now instead of consuming 100W/h it generates 2kW/h of free energy. Got it running in my basement and it powers a whole house
Actually, isn't that similar to taking a ruby rod, putting a mirror at one end, a half mirrored surface at the other, and stimulating it with light? You know, so the photons go back and forth between the mirrors, with the light coming through the half mirrored end in a coherent beam? You've got Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation... Interesting! Now what should we call it... 🤔😁
Please! More! I can't get enough of Mr Cheese! He ha transformed my understanding of the physical worlld. Although I can't help wondering what his "engineers" are responding to or actually saying. I am sure manufacturers can build any kind of box you want. It doesn't mean it will do anything - even go "beep"
What I want to know is... who are all these mystery 'engineers' who are building and testing this stuff? I'm starting to fear they're actually the magical little Oompa-Loompas in Nigel's head.
He's a con artist. He KNOWS it doesn't work. He just makes it sound good to ignorant people. So he invented fictional "engineers" that are supposedly building things.
The stupidest thing he does is multiply 126 kW/h times 24 hours and still get a result in MW/h. He not only invented free energy, but he also invented infinite mathematics. If he really was an engineer, he wouldn't have made such a basic mistake twice (first with W/h and then by multiplying it by h and getting MW/h)
The terms he uses are correct, I’m not convinced he’s using them correctly though. A kWh is the standard unit used to bill electricity usage and a MWh is just 1000kWh’s, using energy at a rate of 126kWh for 24 hours adds up to 3.024MHw total over that period. That’s for consumption though, not generation, on my house I currently have 4kW of solar panels so if I wanted I could take meter readings over a 24 hour period and see the total power generated, using easy numbers for an example if my system produced 24kW of energy I could say that over that given time period my system produced energy at an average rate of 1kW/h. With all of that this guy is clearly a buffoon spouting nonsense.
@@oxfordsparky The problem is that he wasn't saying "kilowatt hours", rather he both said and wrote "kilowatts per hour". The former *is* a unit of energy, the latter is a nonsense (in the context he was using it).
My father was a mechanical engineer. I think one of the reasons he got into computer programming back in the 1950s was his hatred of thermodynamics: he always referred to the theory as "thermo g-d dynamics." So if my father was right, Professor Cheese is invoking the power of G-d to to the work through some arcane arrangement of a ridiculously small number of yttrium atoms in a silicon matrix.
The energy comes from the atoms of course, each atom produces 1/50 of the joules per second per hour and he's using 50 of them so all together he's got 100% of the energy but then you can them and put them together and you can get more than 100% and it's 50 atoms so it's better than using nuclear bombs are cars. Seems pretty obvious if you ask me.
"Joules per second per hour" would be a bit weird, but is quite cromulent. It would be an acceleration of energy production: if you went from 10 watts to 20 watts over an hour, that would be 10 joules per second per hour. I don't think this has anything to do with our friend's physics word salad, though.
His energy density calculation is hilarious as well. Apparently that 125 kW producing cube (of 1 m^3) has a mass of 1 kg. That's less dense than air. You might even say that what he's selling appears to be less dense air. As if it's been heated.
2 other great tidbits: - when he wrote MW (which is MJ per second) per hour per day - when he multiplied Watts by 365 days and then by 50 years in the same equation, and his result was in Watts What a Mathemagician!
Me building a magic box: My God I've just changed everything we thought we knew about energy! Everybody is welcome to come and test this amazing discovery! Nigel: It's 1 metre tall! What is his obsession with the size of the box? I mean that really seems to be what he is most proud of and the entire focus of the video... 🤔
If you have built a free energy device defying the laws of physics that will solve all the worlds energy issues it does seem to me that the size of the card or box is the least relevant statistic. In Nigel’s next video he will obsess over the colour of the box and possibly let us know the PCAMS card is powered by a small leprechaun in a wheel
It's a fundamental non-understanding of the issue. A container-sized box that produces just one pico-Watt of energy surplus would be revolutionary, but he is thinking in terms of how you could power your own home, as he doesn't even consider that his box might not work at all.
I love the absolute confidence in which he simply ignores anything that contradicts his claims, and makes absolutely no effort made to demonstrate his claims. There is so much of this sort of crap online that debunking this stuff will be a fertile hunting ground for you, Dan. Looking forward to it!
Did you notice it got worse when he calculated how much energy he'd get per day? It amounts to just over 3 Megajoules per second per hour per day. I can only assume that it means that the rate it's putting out energy is accelerating, but that the rate of acceleration is also accelerating. Is he building a bomb?

The closest I have ever seen something to be free energy was a paint that would just by itself cool below sub-ambient temperature (by radiating its heat at an IR wavelength that is not blocked by the atmosphere). Which would mean you could connect a sterling engine to it, and be always running, without a source of heat. In theory at least. However, turns out it's basically again just a very contrived solar cell, and the sun is basically powering it all. And that's the point, you can build a very contrived machine that obfuscates where the power comes from, but you still have to adhere to thermodynamic laws. No matter what.
I just saw a YT vid suggestion a couple days ago which I believe might be discussing what you've described. Haven't looked at it yet. Might have to find that today.
@@heatshield NightHawkInLight did a video, yes. The paint isn't actually cooling down beyond ambient, which is his explanation. It's rather that stuff nearby that isn't painted with that particular paint is just not able to reject the IR as efficiently and is thus just hotter from being in the sun. In more controlled conditions, there will probably be no temperature difference. At least that is my take on it.
@@graealex oh cool. Thanks. I'm subscribed to him. Haven't seen anything recommended since his sun tracking solar panel (I think). That was awhile ago.
Blackholes and their emissions of Hawking radiation would be the closest thing I can think of a virtually unlimited energy production method. although the energy it produces is all but useless and it very much still adheres to the laws of physics as we understand them (well as far as we understand black holes). put micro blackholes in your boxes and boom “free energy”. As long as we’re making impossible silly things, lets really make them last.
Well, SciManDan found it useful. Two videos of priceless content. I liked the part where Professor Doctor Nigel Cheese has conversations with his imaginary team of engineers. "Can we tweak it a bit", is an instant classic.

This what joule is defined as: "The work done by a force of one newton over one meter. The work required to move an electric charge of one coulomb through a potential difference of one volt. The work required to produce one watt continuously for one second, i.e. one watt second. The kinetic energy that an object of a mass of 1 kg has when it moves at √2m/s."
Yes, he got confused between Watt Hour and Watt per hour. The WattHour is a real thing, Watt per hour isn't (unless you have a magical accelerating source of energy)
kW/h means kW of sustain power during an hour. I don't know in the UK, but here in Spain, we use it all the time. Mainly when talking about electricity services.
What you are describing is kiloWatt-hour, kWh. kW/h would denote kiloWatt per hour. You would use that to measure change in power over time, but that is not all that useful.
7:23 "50 atoms of Yttrium per cell" ... not sure how common traces of Yttrium are in the real world, but I'd risk an educated guess that you'd try very hard to get a mineral material purified enough to get the Yttrium atom count *down* to that.
It's wonderful that he also created the perfect hyper conductor since there's not the slightest energy emission in any form other than pure electricity from where it's supposed to come out.
It's interesting to think, given the high energies claimed and the tiny volumes producing it, how does this devices not simply vaporize itself? It would melt at the least.
I have one particular reservation about this. That is the "A" in PCAMS, whhich supposedly is for Amplification. In my experience, so far at least, Amplification is not FREE Energy. It is a small signal CONTROLLING a supplied energy source (Power Supply) to produce a Large signal. Think record player stylus to loudspeaker as an example.
I mean the reason that there is no amplification out of thin air is that there are a few thermodynamic laws that would prevent it. Also, amplification is used in other contexts as well, for example PCR. Although even there it doesn't work without a source of energy, although biochemical.
There is something out there called an energy amplifier, but it's a type subcritical nuclear reactor. The output energy ultimately comes from fission and decay. I hope this fellow isn't using nuclear anything.
For somebody that has so many people involved in building something so secretive and so special you think somebody would be screaming from the rooftops about what they're doing and how they're about to change the world but yet this dude made a UA-cam video
I've made a self-replenishing petrol can if anyone is interested. Never pay for fuel again! I'm just working with my manufacturers to make sure the cap is good quality and not one of those that explodes into dust the first time you touch it. Any questions?
Reminds me of the time I designed a radio consisting of a razor blade, a random coil of wire, and a 5W loudspeaker. But I was only 10 and not quite up to speed with physics and electronics, but my drawing was awfully good.
You can indeed have W/h, but that would be a unit of power accelerations. It is not often you need to quantify power acceleration, but I guess it could be used to describe how fast power stations can start up :)
@@dogwalker666 First of all, it's "kWh" not "KWh" - and that wasn't his point. W/h could actually be a unit, as laid out the startup rate of an electricity producing device, like a power plant.
@@graealex actually it depends on the manufacturer as to the font, I know the Watt should be upper case as it's the name of the unit and K is the multiplier but electricity companies don't always follow, However "kilowatt hours" are how electricity companies describe your electricity consumption, the device is called a Watt/Hour meter, that is why he is confused.
@@dogwalker666 The "k" for kilo is lower case, otherwise it's wrong. And the Cheese guy is certainly confused in more than one way. Still, the initial comment was about how a unit like W/h could be used - again, it would be a valid measurement of increase in energy production over time, like a power plant starting up.
I never had thought of watts as joules per second. Interesting the clear relationship of volts, amps, watts, joules, heat, and on, and on. It's almost as if math reflects a precisely self-consistent universe. I guess Dr. Cheese thought watt hours meant watts per hour. Believe it or not, there is a difference between division and multiplication, except in the case of multiplying by the reciprocal. The lines get blurred, then. Actually, there's nothing blurred. All perfectly clear. My mistake.
Ah John boy!! The trick here is bait and switch. Dan offers some truth but then switches it to endless theory!!

_"I guess Dr. Cheese thought watt hours meant watts per hour."_ Ironically, that's exactly what it means. 1 watt-hour is the measure of 1 watt expended over the course of an hour. We use this measurement frequently when specifying power distribution systems in electrical engineering, in fact it's the most commonly used unit in that regard.

@@Vikanuck Especially sense Dunning Krueger had nothing to do with intelligence. It was a study about how accurately people could predict their own test results. If your math teacher in 10th grade on a random day asked, "All right, we are having a test tomorrow. So, what grade do you think you will get?" People that didn't study a lot, etc would be very off on their predictions compared to what they actually scored on the test. Those that studied hard made more accurate predictions. Essentially, they didn't know the material well enough to give an accurate prediction on well they score on a test. The people who did study hard, lots of note taking, etc could much more accurately predict their test results before taking a test. Unless you are trying to measure the accuracy of your ability to correctly guess the grade you would get on a test, then it isn't dunning krueger. Example: If I was to take a 9th grade geography test right now, I would probably guess that I would get around a D+ or C-. To be honest, I have not studied or looked at maps and names of cities/capitals in a long while. I am uncertain of how much I actually know compared to a 9th grade geography test. I could end up with a solid A for all I know. Now, imagine someone who loves geography and kept studying maps well after grade school. Imagine they even grew up to become a college geography professor at some University. That person could very accurately and confidently say, "Easy A+. No challenge what so ever." There is a very high degree of likely hood that the university geography professor predicted his test results correctly. My guess for my self. It's just that. I guess and not even a well educated guess. I really have no idea what I would get. The graph you see associated with "dunning krueger" isn't even that study. It was included in a separate study that applied this logic to things outside of predicting test results. Yes, that test referenced dunning krueger and came up with some results that infer what people use the term "dunning krueger" for. While the concept is correct, the term dunning krueger is very incorrect. It's kind of ironic though. You could almost say that someone saying, "...is a great example of Dunning Krueger." is in it of itself an example of 'the dunning krueger effect' since the dunning krueger study has nothing to do with 'the dunning krueger effect'.
I just looked back on the previous episode because I couldn't remember what PCAMs stood for. When I saw that it stands for Photonic Catalytic Amplification Matrix, I thought, "Gee, that sounds a lot like something I've heard of before . . . Let me see, what could that be? Oh, yeah -- Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation!" Brilliant! Professor Cheese (don't tell Mr. Sensible about him!) has invented a LASER! Then, when he said this device uses yttrium in the process of generating energy, I decided to look up yttrium. Lo and behold, according to Wikipedia (admittedly neither the most comprehensive nor the most authoritative source of information about anything), yttrium is used in lithium ion batteries -- those same batteries that, according to Dr.Cheese (do you suppose he's related to the infamous Dr. Peel?) destroy Teslas in massive explosions. Yttrium is also used in some LASERS. Coincidence? I think NOT! At 5:59 in this video, Professor Cheese claims "This is infinitely scaleable" after claiming that each bank of cards amplifies the energy from the bank feeding it. At some point, the amount of energy flowing through a bank would, if these claims were true, vaporize the next bank. That'd put an end to that. I'm calling it a day. Bye bye, Dr. Cheese! Don't let the crackers get you on the way out -- you might end up on a Cheese platter!

I think watts/hour is a valid unit for the same reason as m/s^2, ie. m/s/s is a valid unit. It's just that it's measuring an accelerating amount of joules.
If Nigel is so confident in this “technology” and, given the current state of the energy market, I would love to see him run his home off of one of these devices
I struggle to discern whether Nigel is an ill man deserving sympathy or a scammer with an insane ego deserving disdain. I keep bouncing back and forth between the two. I truly hope that no one falls for his bs, but in this day and age I'm sure that some people do. Thanks for another great video Dan! Whenever I see anyone cover Nigel (I've seen some videos from Planarwalk about Nigel as well) I'm so torn between feeling sorry for him and feeling dislike for him. But now that he seems to be fishing for investors I am starting to lean more in one direction than the other.
It sucks big time, but solar energy is FAR too diffuse to be harvested with the requisite efficiency. Sorry. It's a pretty cruel joke for nature to play on us.
not quite on the same boat with you about nitpicking on him for using Watts, since Joule is the work required to produce one Watt of power for one second. And Watt is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. For me it was the fact if you go by his logic you can make a device that reproduces the power output of the Sun witch is estimated to be around 382.8 YW :D I would love to see that wiring tho :D
The whole issue with this is that it's primarily based on the premise that you can amplify energy, in the same way you can amplify sound, which is enough to hoodwink someone who has no idea about physics, so it's a grift plain and simple, you can't amplify something without two inputs, so sound + energy (powered amp) = louder sound, so he must be powering his cards, and I bet that the power used to power his cards is more than the resultant power, he's just taken that fallacy and ran with it to come up with some ridiculous figures.
I think the assumption that the cards (and his 'engineers' etc) actually physically exist in any way is an assumption too far. This is an entire collection of fairy tales.
@@Agent-Strawman Well, you can't, because a transformer doesn't "make" energy, it's still subject to the laws of thermodynamics, until Mr Cheese's device.
Hey Dan, I'm you keep talking about no watts per hour, I might have misunderstood what you meant, but here in Canada, we often talk about kilowatts per hour for the electricity used by appliances. Is it just an obscure terminology or did I misunderstand your dismissal of his obvious bunkum. Reguardless, thanks for the vid. Ahh. Did some googling to refresh my memory. kW/h is a different thing then Watts per say. Definitions can be rough somedays 😅
I think what you are referring to is kWh (kilowatt hours) not Kw/h...this is the number of watts used during a typical usage cycle for the appliance which allows a comparison to be made of similar appliances.
Maybe u are mistaking it for kilowatthours. That is kilowatt * hour, which is again a unit of Energy (like Joules). U consume one kilowatthour (kWh) if you run a device that takes 1kW for one hour. Or one that takes 200W for 5 hours. And so on ^^ This measures the Energy one household consumes and is the unit that is relevant for your energy provider to figure out what you have to pay them.
@@saltatio1545 yeah exactly. I was wondering what part of the video I missed as I was listening while doing my paperwork and so quickly googled the difference to see I wasn't loosibg my mind. Cheers
I found part of what he was saying slightly confusing as well, but perhaps what he was trying to get at is that kWh is a measurement of energy consumption and not how we measure energy production. A 100w generator can produce 1 kWh of electricity in 10 hours. Thus you can see why kWh is not used for measuring production since you could call any generator that produces 1kw or less a 1 kWh generator.
There are forums where this guy is revered, and they claim to have repeated his work. It's pretty worrying seeing a whole group of these numpties all bigging themselves up and claiming to be in on the free energy revolution.
Hey Dan, can you please do a video on the Chandler Wobble? I just saw a report about how the earth just experienced it's shortest day on record and had it's shortest month in 2020. It's being attributed to the Chandler Wobble. I'd like to see this explained before conspiracy theories come out. I think you are the gold standard for debunking idiots, and I'd appreciate your input on this phenomenon. Thanks for all you do
It's quite simple really. Earth is not a perfect sphere, so as it rotates it wobbles a little. (Add that to the flerfer list of impossible things the globe allegedly does) And well, this for obvious reason, the Earth rotation being tilted bit different, changes how long day is. If you are looking for an explanation for what is causing this wobble... we don't really know. There is a lot of forces acting on Earth, both internal and external (Moon, Sun, continental drift, water cycle,...) and we are not quite sure which one affects it how.
@@Nerazmus I get it. I'm not really looking for an explanation, I believe in science lol. I'm actually just hoping Dan could get out ahead of the craziness that grifters will use this for.

So, if Dan did like a misconception mini or something to nip those conspiracy theories in the bud, maybe they'll be less effective in their audience. Or, at least, easier for lay people to see through.
To be fair, he did say “kilowatt hours”, which has the same dimensions as Joules. The standard way that electricity bills are measured. Watts in base dimensions is (L^2M)/T^3. Multiply by T (kwh), is (L^2M)/T^2, base units for Joules. Obviously rest was crap!
Are you talking about at 5:16? He clearly said "126.45 kilowatts per hour". Furthermore, he then multiplied the 126.45 kW/h by 24 hours and got "three million watts of energy every day".

I know people with 160+ IQ and it's another level, and they don't make stupid math mistakes like he does :D Nigel is more likely to have an IQ around 80. The standard IQ test stops at 160 anyway, you need to get specialized tests to get anything further above.
@@OzoneGrif The Mensa IQ tests top out at 162. My IQ is 157 and I make dumb mistakes often... but not quite with the regularity of this guy!

First off, I was DEFINITELY one considered a "nerd" in school (chubby, not good at sports, played D&D, decent at maths, etc) so I'm generally not one to judge on superficial factors, but with that: This gent almost certainly has a sizable chip on his shoulder (every video I've ever seen of his is attempting to show how much smarter than everyone else he is), and it seems most likely that this is because he was picked on in school. I mean, he's nebbish and his name is "Nigel Cheese", for God's sake! That's a name for an antagonistic nerd that CS Lewis and Enid Blyton would have been proud to have come up with! I suppose we should be grateful that he grew up in the UK. In the US he likely would have turned to guns and violence instead of being convinced that the scientific community are all idiots.
@@AnZsDad1973 I hope you get that in order eventually. You might not care about it much, and people might not comment on it as they did in school. But it's still going to be a problem for you down the line. Good luck.

As a Senior Engineer myself, I would love to know what "Engineers" he keeps referencing that had extreme interest in his non-sense. As Dan points out, he really has no idea what he is talking about, and any actual Engineer would have figured him out right at the beginning of his speech and dismissed his plans. It's just all wrong and complete non-sense.
Welcome to the World of TNT did a great video about this PCAM scam. It's called "Photonic Catalytic Amplification Matrix PCAM by Nigel Cheese Ne Cooper Ne Hands - Scam Or Not?"
oh, one more: an old sci-fi story called "weatherby of WTY inc" (wild blue yonder), whose job was to evaluate new technologies, kept getting con-artists with "black box" inventions. when one approached him with a "free energy" device, he told his secretary to fetch a 1-to-3 adapter, (which lets you plug three things into one outlet) and the guy made a hasty retreat.
He's still not explaining his mechanism of action (unsurprisingly). I never thought a box would annoy me more than JJ Abrams' "mystery box", but here we have it.
Exactly, he's banging on about the size, energy density and scalability but not once has he mentioned how it actually works. More red flags than the Chinese army.
@@335chr I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that he's absolutely convinced that _if_ it existed, it would most definitely work. It's the same principle as _if_ he had actually bothered to go to school like all the rest of us dweebs, he would most definitely have achieved all of those degrees (though it would have been a waste of time for him, of course, since he's already smarter than everyone else and doesn't need to prove it). Pure delusion.
I would imagine that if this was a real thing, and he showed it to some engineers, they would have ran straight to the patent office and registered this, and would probably be making billions off it right now.
Thermodynamic laws have even defeated Maxwell's demon. I doubt that any engineer would start to run in any direction but "away" if you tell him about an overunity machine.
This is so hilarious. This guy frequently uses W/h, kW/h and MW/h to measure Energy. As a "professor" he should know that it is Wh, kWh and MWh. With other words Power multiplied with Time and not Power divided by Time. This of course shows every expert that Nigel is not one of them.
suppose that Nigel's device worked... how does he dissipate the waste heat generated by all of these free energy producing reactors (can't call them batteries, since they "produce" energy)? infinitely scaling magic power boxes have to produce infinitely scaling waste heat. is he using molten salt and a cooling tower to regulate the ~6-12MW of heat these bad boys are liable to produce?
Watt hours is a measurement. "A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy; it’s a way to measure the amount of work performed or generated. " not that hard to find out..
Even so. it's like saying I developed (in my head) a device that looks like a banana that provides unlimited money for every household. It generates £250/h. If you join four of them together it will give you £1000/h, for a guaranteed period of 25 years.
My guy the unit your refering to is KWH is not KW/H KW/H would be accelerated energy. KWH is a unit of an absolute amoount of energy, not energy per second. Therfore like it is compatible with joule or calories. Its usally used for devices that have a fixed wattage, like a cellophane. Battery is 10wh and it runs on 5w. Battery life is 2h. Thats the usecase. He just fucked up real bas.
"watts per hour" reminds me of something funny that happened when i was playing "Kerbal Space Program". when i first unlocked the RTG device (Radio-Thermal Generator), i made the mistake of thinking it generated watts per second like MOST things, but it was more like watts per hour. so i made the mistake of sending out a space probe that had 3 of them but NO solar panels... which led to my probe running completely out of power. it DID recover, but it took many in-game hours. fortunately, KSP has a "speed up time" option. RTGs are still a good back-up source when going far from the sun, but not a good primary source.
I hope I get to see Nigel cheese at the next energy science conference. He has single-handedly out-classed the last 100 years of scientific development with his society changing “box make watts” machine.
Honestly the fact that he feels the need to explain that you could hypothetically add a lot of these small magic power multipliers together to get a big one really shows the intelligence/education level of his intended audience... Anyone with even the slightest clue should know that all you need to do is *rigorously* prove that it's possible on a small scale, and then the world will throw tens of billions of dollars in your direction for you to figure out how to scale it up.
As I already wrote, I'd get Nobel prizes left and right for a container-sized machine that could even put out a pico-Watt of surplus. He just assumes that his machine is going to work and jumps to the multiplication part, not even understanding how much of a scientific feat it'd actually be, if it worked.
The watt-hour (symbolized Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. The watt-hour is not a standard unit in any formal system, but it is commonly used in electrical applications.
I’m just guessing now, , , but I reckon Nigel is currently powering his small rural village from two small fridges in his garden shed! Just make sure your patents are secure Nige. Great work.
oh, i just remembered an old magazine article about Perpetual Motion machines. if i remember, the article was called "perpetual commotion". anyway, at one point a guy showed of his "invention", a toy train with magnets in it and magnets around the track. the author kept asking "what's your record for most laps?" and the guy kept making excuses, until the guy's son blurted out, "three-quarters." yes, 3/4s of ONE lap was the FARTHEST the magnetic train had traveled. the same guy also claimed to have a way to make Oil Wells self-powered...
You have one problem. I haven't run the math on the actual numbers in his working out, but I can say watts are a measure of power. He has used the wrong units in w/h but, watt-hours is a correct measurement of the power moved in a system. Houses' power meters are usually read out in units of watt hours. This is a measure of the amount of watt hours used over a given time period. You can then convert that to joules. But the watt hour is technically a standard measurement.
Weird point, but he seems to be suggesting that the energy amplification is linear as you add more modules, but that's not right given rhe mechanism he's hinting at. If the boxes multiply whatever is put into them then it would be exponential as you add more "cards", which would become very concerning very quickly
There was a news story about a creepy old guy who got arrested for putting “P Cams” in the women’s bathroom at a gas (petrol) station not that long ago…
1 kwh is appropriately 3,600,000 joules. It is used in home power consumption here in the states. Agreed his free energy is bs but many countries use kwh to make the math of power used easier to understand. If you don't believe me I'll send you a copy of my power bill showing power use in kwh.

Pretty simple when you think about it
Chief O'Brien, is that you?!
Impossible! How could he control the alignment of matrix lattice growth without creating a piezoelectric effect likely resulting in a seismic shift in the earth's crust?

I'd have no problem thinking up a free energy device and explaining to you in vast details how it is going to work.
With the only problem being that it can't actually work the way I am explaining it.
Unless I missed it I never heard him explain the energy input side of the equation. How do you put energy into PCAMS? Also, since storage batteries have an output equal to the energy input minus the various losses or inefficiencies of the system it has a finite output for a finite time before you have to add energy. If his device is perpetual and infinitely scalable why is it only 477 times more efficient?
Because you are using your brain and have knowledge. To understand Pscam you have to be dumb, gullible, ignorant, an example of Dunning-Kruger and/or missing a few brain cells, or being deluded like flatearter.
His next idea will be using 100 extension cords then adding up all the wattage they are rated for. Just build a nice box for them.
The only thing he said about the energy input side was that it was secret.
Actually, the input does not detemine the electric energy, but the usage, Maybe this is one part of his misunderstanding If you connect a 5W device to an electric circuit, the used energy would be 5Wh (using hour as time measure). If you connect a 10W instead, you certainly would double the used energy. The electric current in the second example is also doubled due to constant voltage. If you have a limited capacity, in the second example the time of providing the energy is halved. So, you have won nothing.
@@christiansymmank7861 You have managed to make a simple thing seem very complicated!
I'm going to repeat the same thing I said on the last video about this guy. I don't think he's a scammer I think he's just a sad individual looking to role play that he's a fantastic success. He's loving all the little details like talking about the specific numbers and how if you had two of them together it equals two of them both in size and in power output, he's done with that minimal bit of math and it feels satisfying to him.
I don't know where those videos of his go or if he ever presents any kind of evidence, but if he doesn't that backs up my impression. It's trivially easy to make a fake free energy machine you can find many of them on youtube. Or you hide a power supply in it basically. But I think building anything like that is too much for the professor doctor. I dare say that if he could make something like that he would be able to get enough satisfaction and self validation out of building even simple things and wouldn't need to go online and pretend to be a super genius.
I also will point out that he acts like he's giving this information away to the world for the benefit of all mankind, he signs off by telling people to use this knowledge for good. But he tells very little. Others have interpreted that as being part of the scam and that makes sense, but I just think he's not creative enough to come up with any details. He tells the story of the manufacturer is telling him that a certain component has a certain lifetime but he can't come up with what that component is because he doesn't understand what might be in such a thing. That's why he focuses so much on the trivia of the numbers of the dimensions of the thing instead of the fact that he claims to have broken fundamental laws of physics. He can handle the numbers of a small box of arbitrary size. He can do the grade school math of multiplying one box by two or however many. So that's what he focuses on.
I think you've nailed it here concerning where the guy is coming from. Sort of a Walter Mitty type.
Yeah, he acts like he’s giving the solution to humanity, for our benefit, at no charge, right? But not only does he tell us very little, in the last video there are sections of his visual info that he’s covered up and hidden, due to “thieves, especially in America”!
I agree
So, they are indefinitely "stackable" are they?
So, how does one take out the Terawatts of energy from a 500km side length energy generator?
What kind of cables do you use?
Also, why does Nigel not power his house with his own invention?
My thoughts exactly, where's his free power box.
Plus, if something like this would get stacked that much, imagine the heat. I could see a power generator box like this melt right through the earth xD
why would he do that? he lives on his starship and he is on a 5 year mission to seek out strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
yeah. . . space would make that even worse. massive thermal energy rates, PLUS not way to dissipate it easily? in the immortal words of Ralf Wiggums; "I'm in danger"
@@Roozyj He's going to put it against the ice wall at the edge of the earth to keep it cool. Also, if it were truly 100% efficient as he claims it shouldn't have any heat loss. Also, also, If you have an energy source with no limitation on how quickly or how much energy it can release you have a massive arc flash potential, much more so than his Tesla "bomb". He's such a fool.

If he really was an engineer, he wouldn't have made such a basic mistake twice (first with W/h and then by multiplying it by h and getting MW/h)

@@rogerargueta5769 Making too much sense against a flerfer isn't much of an achievement. The average flerfer doesn't make sense at all.
I would give his math a f for failure
The terms he uses are correct, I’m not convinced he’s using them correctly though.
A kWh is the standard unit used to bill electricity usage and a MWh is just 1000kWh’s, using energy at a rate of 126kWh for 24 hours adds up to 3.024MHw total over that period. That’s for consumption though, not generation, on my house I currently have 4kW of solar panels so if I wanted I could take meter readings over a 24 hour period and see the total power generated, using easy numbers for an example if my system produced 24kW of energy I could say that over that given time period my system produced energy at an average rate of 1kW/h.
With all of that this guy is clearly a buffoon spouting nonsense.
@@oxfordsparky The problem is that he wasn't saying "kilowatt hours", rather he both said and wrote "kilowatts per hour". The former *is* a unit of energy, the latter is a nonsense (in the context he was using it).
As an engineer im screaming internally...
WHERE IS ALL THE ENERGY COMING FROM MATE????
From the amplifier, of course :P
From the box, duh.
My father was a mechanical engineer. I think one of the reasons he got into computer programming back in the 1950s was his hatred of thermodynamics: he always referred to the theory as "thermo g-d dynamics." So if my father was right, Professor Cheese is invoking the power of G-d to to the work through some arcane arrangement of a ridiculously small number of yttrium atoms in a silicon matrix.
From the 100% efficient something something... otherwise it would get awfully warm, awfully quickly.
The energy comes from the atoms of course, each atom produces 1/50 of the joules per second per hour and he's using 50 of them so all together he's got 100% of the energy but then you can them and put them together and you can get more than 100% and it's 50 atoms so it's better than using nuclear bombs are cars. Seems pretty obvious if you ask me.
"Joules per second per hour" would be a bit weird, but is quite cromulent. It would be an acceleration of energy production: if you went from 10 watts to 20 watts over an hour, that would be 10 joules per second per hour. I don't think this has anything to do with our friend's physics word salad, though.
Cromulent?!?! That's about a $9.62 word!

His energy density calculation is hilarious as well. Apparently that 125 kW producing cube (of 1 m^3) has a mass of 1 kg. That's less dense than air. You might even say that what he's selling appears to be less dense air. As if it's been heated.
2 other great tidbits:
- when he wrote MW (which is MJ per second) per hour per day
- when he multiplied Watts by 365 days and then by 50 years in the same equation, and his result was in Watts

If be more impressed if he pulled a rabbit out of it. I do love bunnies. Pseudoscience, not so much.
If you have built a free energy device defying the laws of physics that will solve all the worlds energy issues it does seem to me that the size of the card or box is the least relevant statistic. In Nigel’s next video he will obsess over the colour of the box and possibly let us know the PCAMS card is powered by a small leprechaun in a wheel
@@mikeanson2902 At least then he would be trying to explain HOW it works. Still f-ing moronic, but at least moronic in the right direction.
It's a fundamental non-understanding of the issue. A container-sized box that produces just one pico-Watt of energy surplus would be revolutionary, but he is thinking in terms of how you could power your own home, as he doesn't even consider that his box might not work at all.
If I built a free energy device, my first thought would not be how to make it smaller like Nigel Cheese did.
I love the absolute confidence in which he simply ignores anything that contradicts his claims, and makes absolutely no effort made to demonstrate his claims.
There is so much of this sort of crap online that debunking this stuff will be a fertile hunting ground for you, Dan. Looking forward to it!
Did you notice it got worse when he calculated how much energy he'd get per day? It amounts to just over 3 Megajoules per second per hour per day.

The closest I have ever seen something to be free energy was a paint that would just by itself cool below sub-ambient temperature (by radiating its heat at an IR wavelength that is not blocked by the atmosphere). Which would mean you could connect a sterling engine to it, and be always running, without a source of heat. In theory at least.
However, turns out it's basically again just a very contrived solar cell, and the sun is basically powering it all.
And that's the point, you can build a very contrived machine that obfuscates where the power comes from, but you still have to adhere to thermodynamic laws. No matter what.
NO! Listen to Prf. Dr Cheese, saviour... Messiah?
I just saw a YT vid suggestion a couple days ago which I believe might be discussing what you've described. Haven't looked at it yet. Might have to find that today.
@@heatshield NightHawkInLight did a video, yes.
The paint isn't actually cooling down beyond ambient, which is his explanation. It's rather that stuff nearby that isn't painted with that particular paint is just not able to reject the IR as efficiently and is thus just hotter from being in the sun.
In more controlled conditions, there will probably be no temperature difference. At least that is my take on it.
@@graealex oh cool. Thanks. I'm subscribed to him. Haven't seen anything recommended since his sun tracking solar panel (I think). That was awhile ago.
Blackholes and their emissions of Hawking radiation would be the closest thing I can think of a virtually unlimited energy production method. although the energy it produces is all but useless and it very much still adheres to the laws of physics as we understand them (well as far as we understand black holes).
put micro blackholes in your boxes and boom “free energy”.

@@mrwho995 But it is a magical source of energy, so absolutely ANYTHING is possible, even going back in time and preventing his own birth!
kW/h means kW of sustain power during an hour.
I don't know in the UK, but here in Spain, we use it all the time. Mainly when talking about electricity services.
What you are describing is kiloWatt-hour, kWh.
kW/h would denote kiloWatt per hour. You would use that to measure change in power over time, but that is not all that useful.

It's wonderful that he also created the perfect hyper conductor since there's not the slightest energy emission in any form other than pure electricity from where it's supposed to come out.

Actually my experience with recent IKEA products is the are exceptionally well designed and a quality product for the price!!
I do love a bit of ikea furniture. It's quite fun to modify, paint, glue together etc, too.
I have one particular reservation about this. That is the "A" in PCAMS, whhich supposedly is for Amplification. In my experience, so far at least, Amplification is not FREE Energy. It is a small signal CONTROLLING a supplied energy source (Power Supply) to produce a Large signal. Think record player stylus to loudspeaker as an example.
I mean the reason that there is no amplification out of thin air is that there are a few thermodynamic laws that would prevent it.
Also, amplification is used in other contexts as well, for example PCR. Although even there it doesn't work without a source of energy, although biochemical.
There is something out there called an energy amplifier, but it's a type subcritical nuclear reactor. The output energy ultimately comes from fission and decay. I hope this fellow isn't using nuclear anything.
@@barryon8706 Another rather exotic amplifier is a photo multiplier tube. But again, it doesn't work if you don't put in some energy.

You can indeed have W/h, but that would be a unit of power accelerations. It is not often you need to quantify power acceleration, but I guess it could be used to describe how fast power stations can start up :)
Yes, your explanation makes sense. A nuclear power plant might have a measurement in terms of MW/h for startup, going from being cold to hot.
You will find your electricity meter is calibrated in KWh.
@@dogwalker666 First of all, it's "kWh" not "KWh" - and that wasn't his point. W/h could actually be a unit, as laid out the startup rate of an electricity producing device, like a power plant.
@@graealex actually it depends on the manufacturer as to the font, I know the Watt should be upper case as it's the name of the unit and K is the multiplier but electricity companies don't always follow, However "kilowatt hours" are how electricity companies describe your electricity consumption, the device is called a Watt/Hour meter, that is why he is confused.
@@dogwalker666 The "k" for kilo is lower case, otherwise it's wrong.
And the Cheese guy is certainly confused in more than one way.
Still, the initial comment was about how a unit like W/h could be used - again, it would be a valid measurement of increase in energy production over time, like a power plant starting up.
Man, the MW (being MJ per second) per hour per day did me in! Couldn’t hold in the laughter.
I never had thought of watts as joules per second. Interesting the clear relationship of volts, amps, watts, joules, heat, and on, and on. It's almost as if math reflects a precisely self-consistent universe.
I guess Dr. Cheese thought watt hours meant watts per hour. Believe it or not, there is a difference between division and multiplication, except in the case of multiplying by the reciprocal. The lines get blurred, then.

Bit harsh on scimandan! ;)
He comes across as more of a snake oil salesman than someone who believes what he's saying.
Lol I swear that this term never made it into the ‘flat earth/sovcit’ community zeitgeist until Dan told people what it was, because I remember hearing about it once in high school back in like 2003, then never hearing about it again until watching his videos, now suddenly everybody in these threads love using it whenever they can haha 😄
I mean hey, you do you, I just find it funny lol 🤷🏻♂️
@@Vikanuck Especially sense Dunning Krueger had nothing to do with intelligence. It was a study about how accurately people could predict their own test results.
If your math teacher in 10th grade on a random day asked, "All right, we are having a test tomorrow. So, what grade do you think you will get?"
People that didn't study a lot, etc would be very off on their predictions compared to what they actually scored on the test. Those that studied hard made more accurate predictions.
Essentially, they didn't know the material well enough to give an accurate prediction on well they score on a test.
The people who did study hard, lots of note taking, etc could much more accurately predict their test results before taking a test.
Unless you are trying to measure the accuracy of your ability to correctly guess the grade you would get on a test, then it isn't dunning krueger.
Example: If I was to take a 9th grade geography test right now, I would probably guess that I would get around a D+ or C-. To be honest, I have not studied or looked at maps and names of cities/capitals in a long while. I am uncertain of how much I actually know compared to a 9th grade geography test. I could end up with a solid A for all I know.
Now, imagine someone who loves geography and kept studying maps well after grade school. Imagine they even grew up to become a college geography professor at some University. That person could very accurately and confidently say, "Easy A+. No challenge what so ever."
There is a very high degree of likely hood that the university geography professor predicted his test results correctly.
My guess for my self. It's just that. I guess and not even a well educated guess. I really have no idea what I would get.
The graph you see associated with "dunning krueger" isn't even that study. It was included in a separate study that applied this logic to things outside of predicting test results.
Yes, that test referenced dunning krueger and came up with some results that infer what people use the term "dunning krueger" for.
While the concept is correct, the term dunning krueger is very incorrect. It's kind of ironic though.
You could almost say that someone saying, "...is a great example of Dunning Krueger." is in it of itself an example of 'the dunning krueger effect' since the dunning krueger study has nothing to do with 'the dunning krueger effect'.

I just looked back on the previous episode because I couldn't remember what PCAMs stood for. When I saw that it stands for Photonic Catalytic Amplification Matrix, I thought, "Gee, that sounds a lot like something I've heard of before . . . Let me see, what could that be? Oh, yeah -- Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation!" Brilliant! Professor Cheese (don't tell Mr. Sensible about him!) has invented a LASER!
Then, when he said this device uses yttrium in the process of generating energy, I decided to look up yttrium. Lo and behold, according to Wikipedia (admittedly neither the most comprehensive nor the most authoritative source of information about anything), yttrium is used in lithium ion batteries -- those same batteries that, according to Dr.Cheese (do you suppose he's related to the infamous Dr. Peel?) destroy Teslas in massive explosions. Yttrium is also used in some LASERS.
Coincidence? I think NOT!
At 5:59 in this video, Professor Cheese claims "This is infinitely scaleable" after claiming that each bank of cards amplifies the energy from the bank feeding it. At some point, the amount of energy flowing through a bank would, if these claims were true, vaporize the next bank.

not quite on the same boat with you about nitpicking on him for using Watts, since Joule is the work required to produce one Watt of power for one second. And Watt is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. For me it was the fact if you go by his logic you can make a device that reproduces the power output of the Sun witch is estimated to be around 382.8 YW :D I would love to see that wiring tho :D
The whole issue with this is that it's primarily based on the premise that you can amplify energy, in the same way you can amplify sound, which is enough to hoodwink someone who has no idea about physics, so it's a grift plain and simple, you can't amplify something without two inputs, so sound + energy (powered amp) = louder sound, so he must be powering his cards, and I bet that the power used to power his cards is more than the resultant power, he's just taken that fallacy and ran with it to come up with some ridiculous figures.
In general people don't know what energy is, half of them think it's magic.
You kind of can with a transformer, but the wattage remains the same on both sides. So if you step up the volts, the amps drop and vice versa.
I think the assumption that the cards (and his 'engineers' etc) actually physically exist in any way is an assumption too far. This is an entire collection of fairy tales.

Hey Dan, I'm you keep talking about no watts per hour, I might have misunderstood what you meant, but here in Canada, we often talk about kilowatts per hour for the electricity used by appliances. Is it just an obscure terminology or did I misunderstand your dismissal of his obvious bunkum. Reguardless, thanks for the vid.
Ahh. Did some googling to refresh my memory. kW/h is a different thing then Watts per say. Definitions can be rough somedays 😅
I think what you are referring to is kWh (kilowatt hours) not Kw/h...this is the number of watts used during a typical usage cycle for the appliance which allows a comparison to be made of similar appliances.
Maybe u are mistaking it for kilowatthours. That is kilowatt * hour, which is again a unit of Energy (like Joules). U consume one kilowatthour (kWh) if you run a device that takes 1kW for one hour. Or one that takes 200W for 5 hours. And so on ^^
This measures the Energy one household consumes and is the unit that is relevant for your energy provider to figure out what you have to pay them.
@@TheSpeegy yeah, I finished my paperwork at work and googled a little further ti make sure I wasn't misunderstanding something. Thanks👌
@@saltatio1545 yeah exactly. I was wondering what part of the video I missed as I was listening while doing my paperwork and so quickly googled the difference to see I wasn't loosibg my mind. Cheers
I found part of what he was saying slightly confusing as well, but perhaps what he was trying to get at is that kWh is a measurement of energy consumption and not how we measure energy production. A 100w generator can produce 1 kWh of electricity in 10 hours. Thus you can see why kWh is not used for measuring production since you could call any generator that produces 1kw or less a 1 kWh generator.

It's quite simple really. Earth is not a perfect sphere, so as it rotates it wobbles a little. (Add that to the flerfer list of impossible things the globe allegedly does) And well, this for obvious reason, the Earth rotation being tilted bit different, changes how long day is.

KWH is a unit of an absolute amoount of energy, not energy per second. Therfore like it is compatible with joule or calories. Its usally used for devices that have a fixed wattage, like a cellophane. Battery is 10wh and it runs on 5w. Battery life is 2h. Thats the usecase. He just fucked up real bas.
"watts per hour" reminds me of something funny that happened when i was playing "Kerbal Space Program".
when i first unlocked the RTG device (Radio-Thermal Generator), i made the mistake of thinking it generated watts per second like MOST things, but it was more like watts per hour.
so i made the mistake of sending out a space probe that had 3 of them but NO solar panels...
which led to my probe running completely out of power.
it DID recover, but it took many in-game hours.
fortunately, KSP has a "speed up time" option.
RTGs are still a good back-up source when going far from the sun, but not a good primary source.
I hope I get to see Nigel cheese at the next energy science conference. He has single-handedly out-classed the last 100 years of scientific development with his society changing “box make watts” machine.
"Box make watts/hour."
Gotta get the units "right."
Honestly the fact that he feels the need to explain that you could hypothetically add a lot of these small magic power multipliers together to get a big one really shows the intelligence/education level of his intended audience...
Anyone with even the slightest clue should know that all you need to do is *rigorously* prove that it's possible on a small scale, and then the world will throw tens of billions of dollars in your direction for you to figure out how to scale it up.
As I already wrote, I'd get Nobel prizes left and right for a container-sized machine that could even put out a pico-Watt of surplus.
He just assumes that his machine is going to work and jumps to the multiplication part, not even understanding how much of a scientific feat it'd actually be, if it worked.
«Can we tweak this a bit»
should be on a t-shirt!!!
The watt-hour (symbolized Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. The watt-hour is not a standard unit in any formal system, but it is commonly used in electrical applications.
Watts _per_ hour, which is what Nigel uses in the video, is never used by anyone other than Nigel, because it is a nonsense unit.
I’m just guessing now, , , but I reckon Nigel is currently powering his small rural village from two small fridges in his garden shed! Just make sure your patents are secure Nige. Great work.
When are we given the whole blueprint of this? He promised he would give everyone this incredible source of energy!
“Each one bolts together”
(wait that’s not fantastical enough, oh I know)
Automatically connects together
oh, i just remembered an old magazine article about Perpetual Motion machines.
if i remember, the article was called "perpetual commotion".
anyway, at one point a guy showed of his "invention", a toy train with magnets in it and magnets around the track.
the author kept asking "what's your record for most laps?" and the guy kept making excuses, until the guy's son blurted out, "three-quarters."
yes, 3/4s of ONE lap was the FARTHEST the magnetic train had traveled.
the same guy also claimed to have a way to make Oil Wells self-powered...
You have one problem. I haven't run the math on the actual numbers in his working out, but I can say watts are a measure of power. He has used the wrong units in w/h but, watt-hours is a correct measurement of the power moved in a system. Houses' power meters are usually read out in units of watt hours. This is a measure of the amount of watt hours used over a given time period. You can then convert that to joules. But the watt hour is technically a standard measurement.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. But watt hours (Wh) are a thing... I'm a plumber but I do cross over someWATT 😉 into electrical systems
Believing Nigel created infinity energy source is almost as difficult as believing that Reycon created quality earbuds.
😂
J/(s×s) is not nonsense per se. It could be the change of energy used per time unit.
Weird point, but he seems to be suggesting that the energy amplification is linear as you add more modules, but that's not right given rhe mechanism he's hinting at. If the boxes multiply whatever is put into them then it would be exponential as you add more "cards", which would become very concerning very quickly
There was a news story about a creepy old guy who got arrested for putting “P Cams” in the women’s bathroom at a gas (petrol) station not that long ago…
1 kwh is appropriately 3,600,000 joules. It is used in home power consumption here in the states. Agreed his free energy is bs but many countries use kwh to make the math of power used easier to understand. If you don't believe me I'll send you a copy of my power bill showing power use in kwh. Thank you for your videos.
