Perpetual nonsense

Holly Williams, Sky News's China correspondent, reports on a Chinese farmer who has discovered a solution to the world energy crisis. The answer, it seems, is a hybrid electric/wind powered car. Apparently, above 40mph, a wind turbine kicks in and starts to generate power for the car.

Yes, our Holly has uncovered a perpetual motion machine!

Watch the video while you can.

Of course, SKY is one of our glorious 'news' providers on matters 'we do science, us' going with the morning 'fears' review, leading with, via The Sun, 'Donna Summer's cancer could (hold that thought) be down to 9/11 dust', the notion of which the rest of NYC will be soon waking up to. Have to love our media.

Really says it all...

In Hungary there is man who has claimed to run cars off water. Many Hungarians keep repeating this story as evidence of Hungarian inventiveness. With the only reason it has never come to production? The big western corporates do not want to lose their market and have stopped him.
