I really wish I could remember more about this contraption (or bookmarked the damn thing, duh). I think it was about 10 years ago and we did discuss it. It was, as best as I recall, similar to those types of perpetual motion machines where there are sliding weights on arms and the weights go outwards to pull the wheel rim down then retreat to the center as they go over the “upward” side of the wheel. Maybe. I dunno.
But this thing was freakin huge! Massive beams like a locomotive. It was going to produce prodigious amounts of power. Much of it had been built and there were photos. It had some connection (probably tenuous) with an accredited company or university. All it needed was a little tweaking.
Anyone remember this beast? I’m guessing it didn’t work.
Oh, of course it worked. But it was suppressed by the Big Cat powercompanies, with assistance from the Elders of the Protocols of Zion. I shouldn’t even be sayi
May I politely ask for a quick summary? There’s not enough incognito mode in the world to dare put that sort of stuff in my search history and have my feed filled with the worst sort of get-rich-quick/alt-science quackery!
I don’t have anything more on it, but it sure sounds/looks familiar. I feel like I’ve read something about it here or seen a video on it on youtube, but I’m not finding anything when I search those places.
All of the information and the photos and video are from 2013. Nothing since then so I guess that tells us something. What little information was written states that RAR Energia tested various sized prototypes before building the big version to “optimize” output. The video isn’t much - just showing stages of construction. I would love to see those big beams swinging back and forth.
Rar Energia has a web site which shows a few photos of basic solar panels.
This site (also from 2013) says it’s real. To be clear, they’re not saying it works, just that it exists.
Now, before you all scream “Photoshopped,” take a gander at a FotoForensics analysis of one of the images, where ELA (error level analysis) seems to indicate consistent levels of compression. EXIF data shows the pictures were shot with a Sony DSC-WX5 and saved in PhotoScape. It may be simpler than that: you can easily recognize the same employees in different shots from different angles, and there are quite a lot of photos. RAR Energia’s most recent endeavor—a second machine in Gilman Illinois—seems to have been erected in the past two months. The Gilman warehouse is located on property belonging to bio-diesel manufacturing firm Incobrasa Industries (named a “Company of the [RAR Energia] group” on the RAR Energia site). Here’s a little internet sleuthing for your consideration: a photo of the completed warehouse and a Google maps link to the location in question (40.763176, -88.012706). Note the distinctly shaped building in the background (another view here, during construction), which can be found due south of the location indicated in the Google maps link. We’re not suggesting that you completely rule out image manipulation, but if it’s Photoshopped, it’s a damned elaborate job.
