I tried to write a response to that but this picture is more concise

This is mine:

Uhh, a good bleeding with some leeches.  Wait wait, no no!  Not leeches!

I think we all want Feisty butts to succeed.

That's a really unique art and writing style.

Not sure if good or bad.

I'll ask Robert Munch.

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.

Someone confused 'observation' with 'Spiritual stuff'

What is this I dont even

I'm facepalming so hard that the LISA satellite may have detected the gravitational ripples through space time I created. And that joke is still more scientific that this nonsense.

[PTTG??]

From that perpetual motion crackpot:

The words 'quantum field' sound mysterious, but this is just another way to say 'smaller than atoms.' The energy source for the QEG is the same
force which holds atoms together.

No, Quantum Field is a science fiction phrase meaning "magic happens here." And there already is a way to get energy from the force that holds atoms together; it's called a fission reactor.

EDIT:
This is great. This guy isn't insane, he's intentionally defrauding people. His principle is the electronic equivalent of using a waterwheel to power a pump that drives the waterwheel.

I mean, just because it works in Dwarf Fortress...

To be fair, quantum mechanics is confusing enough to the unwashed (which is to say everyone who isn't a college-educated physicist, which is to say 99.99% of the population) that it's one of the few scientific bits that can be passed off reasonably as magic anymore, now that an increasing lot of people can see through formerly-"magic" things like genetic engineering or nuclear stuff.

In a few decades it'll be more demystified to the general population, and honestly I'm not sure if there's anything more esoteric than quantum physics, so I don't know what will replace it.

Personally I'm a fan of Feynman Diagrams, which assume that positirons are simply time-reversed electrons.

I'm pretty sure that holds true of absolutely all perpetual energy generators.

[miauw62]

Anybody that knows anything about science should know that "it uses quantum physics" means that it's bullshit.

Not quite. There are some that work off trying to harness energy in the environment.

[Draco18s]

Those are not perpetual motion machines by definition.

Perpetual motion describes motion that continues indefinitely without any external source of energy.

"The environment" is classified as "external" otherwise you could claim that a solar panel attached to the roof is merely "drawing energy from the ambient environment."

[MarcAFK]

Or a giant coil that seems like it's getting you free energy, untill the electricity company shows up at your door demanding payment for all the juice you've stolen from the nearby powerlines.
'But it was free energy from the environment!"
