Ok, so here's a brand new "Free Energy" motor:

... complete with a 1950's sci-fi translated description on YouTube:

... and a recent press release:
quote:
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Brazilian scientists have announced the development of a breakthrough new motor that they hope will soon power everything from cars to industrial equipment. Just like solar panels capture energy from the sun, the Keppe Motor captures energy from the so called "vacuum" of space -- which it turns out is no vacuum at all.

Actually, all motors do this, but the prevailing scientific theory doesnt recognize it. Technology today is still locked into trying to get energy from matter and this outmoded process actually blocks the capturing of free energy found in space. As a result, motors today are much less efficient than they should be.

As non-renewable energy sources dwindle fast, massive environmental damage and global warming continue unchecked and electrical bills and oil prices skyrocket. The revolutionary -- and completely green -- Keppe Motor ushers in a new era of sustainable, clean and inexpensive technology.

The motor is named for Brazilian scientist Dr. Norberto Keppe, whose book The New Physics proposes an ambitious new direction in our planets technological philosophy. The Keppe Motor is the first tangible invention arising from the ideas outlined in this book.

Keppe worked with scientists Cesar Soos and Roberto Frascari of the STOP the Destruction of the World Association, an international group working for the preservation of life and nature. They were able to create an electric motor following Keppes principles that requires significantly less electricity to generate power than a normal motor -- more than 75% less electricity to be precise.

People tend to believe that electricity comes from batteries, electrical outlets, etc., Soos says. What we are showing is that the traditional process of electricity actually signifies a loss of energy. Thats why electric cars are so difficult to develop. Our process works with what we could call a non-entropic energy. So its much more efficient.

PRESS CONFERENCE:
See a demonstration of the Keppe Motor and meet the inventors
Monday, Sept. 22 from 10:00 - 11:00 am
L.A. Press Club, 4773 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA

After a question-and-answer session following the demonstration, Soos and Frascari will be available for one-on-one interviews. Light refreshments will be served.

The question?

So, what's the gimmick?

How's it really work?

Or is this THE TECHNOLOGY WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR?!?!?!
(sarcasm off)

Really, I hope the guy patents it and makes a brazillian dollars...

The gimmick is where they ask you for money.

You have to give your life history before you can watch the video on the link JoeActor provided. You can, however, access the page so you can buy his book. Here's a sample of what the book offers.

"This book will help you:

* Discover the true source (and cure) of disease
* Become awakened to the magic of true science and the beauty, truth and goodness that compose the universe
* Learn how to live in harmony with the essential energy that rules everything
* How to access the profound psychological, spiritual life that exists within

Norberto R. Keppe, PhD is founder and president of the International Society of Analytical Trilogy (Society of Integral Psychoanalysis). He is a psychoanalyst, philosopher and social scientist who trained and worked in Vienna with Prof. Viktor E. Frankl, Knut Baumgarten and Igor Caruso. Dr. Keppe is the author of 30 books, some of which have been translated into 9 languages. He was formerly an adjunct professor of psychosomatic medicine at the University of Sao Paulo Medical School and professor of psychology at Catholic Polytechnic University (PUC) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. "

It seems snake oil is now available in 55 gallon drums.

I am guessing that the YouTube video is the same as the one on his site (I didn't fill out all that info either...)

Maybe it's the current climate of high believability in low intelligence, but I didn't think I'd live to see the day when one person was selling a health cure-all and a pmm on the same web site - Live and Learn (or not)

I am all set to invest! I went to my money drawer and found a 1000 cruzado note and a 5 cruzeiros note, both Brazilian money at least 15 years old. I wonder what that is in real money? Well with scientists like this it must be worth a lot more now Big Grin
