It is on the internet

Free is always a dangerous word.  Kadizzle likes surfing the internet for interesting devices and inventions.  There are a lot of amazing ideas.  However, one that keeps popping up are people claiming to have a device that runs on water, or plasma, or some other magic juice.

One of the most stupid  ideas that often come up is putting a wind generator on your car or truck. As you drive the spinning device generates power.  This demonstrates what a lack of knowledge people have regarding basic physics.  Remember when you were taught energy cannot be created or destroyed.  It comes from somewhere, and it goes somewhere.  The problem is that when you try to move energy you always lose some.  When you generate electricity at a power plant most of the energy is wasted. It goes up the chimney, or is sent out as waste heat to the cooling tower.  About 27% of a carload of coal might turn into electricity.  By the time you get it to your house another couple percent is lost.  When you turn on the light most of the electricity turns into heat, not light.

Now some dolt is going to tell you he has a generator that runs on water.  It would be great, but why does he want me to send him money?  Why doesn't he just sell electricity with his generator that runs on water? Not only do people lack the knowledge of simple physics they also lack the knowledge of logic.  Give a preacher some money, and God will make you rich.  Perhaps the money will make the preacher rich, but God never seems to get the message. Give the rich some money and everyone will be rich. The Republican have been working this scam for years, yet the trickle down never comes.
