There's no such thing as a free lunch...but what about free energy. Physicists have always said that every action must have an equal reaction, but that theory seems to be officially debunked. A new invention out of the U.K. not only defies the theory, it can save people money and the environment. Oh, and it consists of one 12 x 2 inch tube.
From The Daily Mail:
The device seems to break the fundamental physical law that energy cannot be created from nothing - but researchers believe it taps into a previously unrecognised source of energy, stored at a sub-atomic level within the hydrogen atoms in water.
The system - developed by scientists at a firm called Ecowatts in a nondescript laboratory on an industrial estate at Lancing, West Sussex - involves passing an electrical current through a mixture of water, potassium carbonate (otherwise known as potash) and a secret liquid catalyst, based on chrome.This creates a reaction that releases an incredible amount of energy compared to that put in. If the reaction takes place in a unit surrounded by water, the liquid heats up, which could form the basis for a household heating system.
If the technology can be developed on a domestic scale, it means consumers will need much less energy for heating and hot water - creating smaller bills and fewer greenhouse gases.
Isn't science amazing? ConEd must be shitting their pants right now, heh heh.
