Natan Weissman explains away recent claims regarding a machine known as the Perepiteia rotating machine that purportedly outputs far more electrical energy than is added to the system. The Perepiteia generator is demonstrated in a test setup driven by a motor taken from a Ryobi bench grinder. The acceleration behavior of the system as a [...]
