Perpetual Motion Machine with successful funding.

I think the Andromeda Galaxy just heard me smash my head into the wall repeatedly.

Sound traveling through space?

Yes, as it's more plausible than what they're trying to do.

I don't know the worst perpetual energy machine I ever seen actually made it on TV but the stupid hosts didn't let him explain how his machine worked (the diagram gives it away)... Which is a shame because how his machine worked is essentially he hooks up generators together and essentially the first generator generates the second generator and so on... and thus create perpetual energy.

And then you watch it for more than 2 minutes and see as it winds down.

If you read the explanation it sounds like he's claiming to have mastered cold fusion/fission.

Huh, quite a few things other than the goal strike me as odd about this project, like the large amount of money raised in such a short time. I guess there's an existing community of ignorant people he tapped for funding?

WHAT the.... Fuck:
"Mary Woods posted an announcement 5 days ago

I am grateful to participate in the Quantum Home Energy Generator Project as part of the support team.  Since it is "quantum", an essential part is working in the unified field of consciousness, "holding the vision" of what is already manifested in the higher dimensions.  In the spirit of cooperating and co-creating with these higher creative energies, I see my contribution as a Vision Holder, working in the thought atmosphere, attuning to The Source and feeling the flow of the true free energy; love, wisdom, and power, abundantly available to all.  Like an idea whose time has come, we are the one's we have been waiting for, to bring in this new paradigm of free energy through our intention and alignment with the call.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Looks like somebody forgot to pass and just kept on puffing.

The funding looks a bit odd, 3 days ago they suddenly started getting loads of donations.  I guess they might've got some kind of publicity boost, but it seems like kind of laundering operation.

Odd since this is a LOT more common on kickstarter then Indiegogo.
