Microwave engine claiming free energy

In summary, the conversation discusses a website that describes a method of using a magnetron from a microwave oven in a combustion engine, claiming it to be the most efficient steam turbine. However, there is no mention of which magnetron to use and no evidence to support the claims. The instructions are basic and there are errors in the concept. The conversation also mentions that the idea has been debunked and that the inventor is unable to invest in further development or patent the technology, but wants to share it with others. Ultimately, it is concluded that the idea is not feasible.

I found this just a while ago...

The whole idea is to take a magnetron froma microwave oven and install it in a combustion engine. The problem is this guy says it is to be used as a steam turbine, not a combustion engine (and that it is the most effecient steam turbine ever!). He does not state which magnetron to use. Further he gives no math to his claims or any of his 'research'. And lastly the instructions are rudimentary, he does not even explain how to uninstall a magnetron and install it, just where to install it. There are many other occurring errors.


This here really debunks the idea:
This engine was first tested in 1992. I am however unable to invest the
required capital to produce a more sophisticated model and therefore unable to
patent it. Even though I may not be able to profit from this technology, it
is too good to be kept to myself and I would like to spread it around so that
others may be able to use it.

Anything further to add?

It can't work.

I would approach this claim with skepticism and caution. The idea of a microwave engine that provides free energy goes against the laws of thermodynamics and the principles of energy conservation. Without any scientific evidence or mathematical calculations to support his claims, it is difficult to take this idea seriously. Additionally, the lack of specific instructions and information on which magnetron to use raises doubts about the practicality and feasibility of this concept.

Furthermore, the fact that this engine was supposedly first tested in 1992 but has not been developed or patented due to lack of funding raises red flags. If this technology truly had potential, it is unlikely that it would have gone unnoticed and unexplored for nearly three decades.

Overall, while it is important to consider new and innovative ideas, it is crucial to approach them with a critical and scientific mindset. Without proper evidence and experimentation, the idea of a microwave engine claiming free energy remains a mere speculation.
 

Related to Microwave engine claiming free energy

1. How does a microwave engine claim to produce free energy?

A microwave engine claims to produce free energy by harnessing the power of microwaves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation, to create a thrust force. This thrust force is then used to generate movement, which can be converted into usable energy.

2. Is the concept of a microwave engine scientifically valid?

The concept of a microwave engine is still a topic of debate among scientists. While some believe that it is a feasible idea, others argue that it goes against the laws of thermodynamics and is therefore not scientifically valid. More research and experimentation is needed to determine the validity of this concept.

3. How does a microwave engine differ from traditional engines?

A microwave engine differs from traditional engines in that it does not rely on the combustion of fuel to produce energy. Instead, it uses microwaves to create thrust, which eliminates the need for a fuel source and reduces emissions. However, the technology and mechanics behind a microwave engine are still being developed and may not be as efficient or practical as traditional engines.

4. Can a microwave engine be used for transportation?

Currently, there are no functioning microwave engines that can be used for transportation. While the concept is being explored, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed, such as the production of enough thrust and the control of the engine. It is possible that in the future, microwave engines could be used for transportation, but more research and development is needed.

5. What are the potential benefits of a microwave engine?

If a microwave engine is successfully developed and implemented, it could have several potential benefits. These include reducing reliance on fossil fuels, reducing emissions, and potentially providing a renewable source of energy. Additionally, the elimination of traditional engines could lead to quieter and more efficient transportation methods.
