so you did the experiments?
If you watched the video in the link above from the EEVblog (#708) you would know that I don't have to.
If you knew a few more things you wouldn't have to.
Scam or self delusion. If any such systems worked everyone would have them. They would have blown up like legal cocaine drizzled chocolate.
This isn't necessarily true. Here's why, using a different subjuct as the example.
Sun-gazing.
Sun-gazers claim that if you look at the sun regularly, you can, over time, get to the point where you don't need to eat food.
What's the method or process. It is something like this.
And don't do this until you have studied about it a bit.1. Stand on the bare ground with your bare feet.
2. Within the first hour after sunrise, or in the last hour before sunset, look at the sun for 5 seconds the first day. (The sunrise/sunset time is to avoid ultraviolet.)
3. Each day increase the time you look at the sun. Some gazers say to increment by 5 seconds each day. Others say to simply double the previous day.
4. Don't miss a day.
5. After you get to 45 minutes or so, don't increase the daily gazing time.
Sometime after that you will find that you don't need food anymore.
Does sun-gazing work? Who knows? Some say it does. Some say it doesn't. There are many ways that you could do it differently if you wanted... like standing in mud rather than on dry ground.
What's the point in talking about this? The point is that it might work. But nobody simply thinks up things to do like this to prove that it works. If it were simple or easy, anybody might do it. But because it takes a long time to prove whether or not it works, it is difficult to say what the truth is.
In a similar way, there are all kinds of variations for making zero-point energy that might work almost. There are many that won't work at all. This doesn't mean that none of the variations work. It only means that there is more work to be done, simply because of the almost limitless variety of methods that could be involved. We simply haven't found the right method, yet. But some are close.
