A healthy dose of skepticism is warranted. Besides breaking several fundamental electrical principles, including some critical laws of physics, if true, the claims made in this video would radically change the world completely - forever. Millions would be idled and a tiny percentage of those to produce the machines. Only with two reliable amp/voltmeters and unfettered access to the machine for 3 days would I consider changing my proclamation that "it's junk science and a pipe dream". Period.

okey if it WERE that great, it would be BRAKING news, and It would be heavly invested in, meaning it would be the highliht in all the technogy events

This is a great idea I only hope GE and other big electric company's don't make the inventors and the device vanish from the face of the earth the people need this

crypter27 you are exactllllyyyy correct. This world could EASILY produce such abundant amounts of electricity for such a cheap production cost, the whole world could be supplied with almost FREE energy. However, look at all these companies that would go out of business, and guess who owns these businesses; the same handful of men that own EVERYTHING. This type of technology is extremely simple, but we will never see it used on a mass scale because new ideas like this THREATENS existing business.

This Sky News clip was shown in 2000. John Christie is a conman. Do not send any money. He just needs your money for finish the project, yeah right.

Actually, the idea of 'free energy' was to tap the huge megawatts of power outside the Earth's atmosphere. There was a demonstration of it coming down as lightening. It was about bringing down the lightening and using this energy in lieu of coal, oil or gas.

why would i say that the machine doesn't work? because i've seen a lot of scams like this already (the most convincing of which was the torrodial power unit). i don't think free energy is impossible. however, if these devices were real, proving that they do what they claim to do would be so simple that their failure to do so is evidence (to me) that it's just a hoax.
