content: I like laserhacker, he is a resourceful guy but I don't think this is him.lasersaber in youtube.His stuff is all disclosed for free at laserhacker.com why will anyone pay $20?Edit: and he never claims free energy on his videos, as in from nowhere. But he has done pretty cool batteries and other things.He actually makes fun of free energy on april fools on his youtube channel.

content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-activated_battery"Kits using copper-magnesium cells activated by water or the liquid sample itself are also in development. "What a coincidence he also has to add water into his battery and his battery is also using magnesium and copper.Quotein the video he touches it and says we much fiddle with them to keep going.How long would very efficient motor run from standard batteries with same volume?

content: I'll bet that contraption would cost $100 in to build. That's not quite so "free."Somebody please remind us to check in around the July-4 closing to see how many backers there are.

content: Quote from: FrankBuss on June 09, 2014, 02:37:10 amI think it's the same guy, actually. He mentions laserhacker.com in the video here.http://laserhacker.com/?p=326I think his kickstarter campaign should drop the "Free Energy" in the title; it seems like perhaps he realized these are just batteries that need more research to determine their limits. There's nothing wrong with crowdfunding that research, if he's transparent up front about why he wants the money.Furthermore, batteries that have a low energy density are not really very good at all. And he keeps talking about wanting to build motors that draw just microAmps of current to make it run longer, but it's pretty useless if it has no power and thus no ability to do real work like a motor should .

content: Quote from: codeboy2k on June 09, 2014, 03:29:14 amLasersaber Is Laserhacker.com, but not sure if he is the guy doing the kickstarter. I didn't see anything about it on his own forum nor his youtube channel, also the kickstarter doesn't mention lasersaber or laserhacker other than on the video that he used, and that video belongs to lasersaber (aka laserhacker)Anyways I sent him a message via youtube to see if it's him, because it makes no sense that we will be looking for just $5K he doesn't seem to need that.Edit: also it doesn't make sense because the video is already one year old and those motors are still running on his live cam, so why not say two and a half years? Someone is trying to cash in (only $5K) on someone's reputation. At least that's what I think.Live video link:http://laserhacker.com/?page_id=20Edit2: plus on the link you provided he shows the composition of the cell, why ask for $20 when he already made it public?

content: I asked in the video comments and the Kickstarter guy is using the lasersaber video without permission:https://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=2nCuGtEDI5gShould be a good reason for Kickstarter to cancel the project.

content: Quote from: FrankBuss on June 09, 2014, 02:34:19 pmYeah, I got a reply from him as well and it's not his Kickstarter and he has no idea who the guy is.It would be like if someone started a uCurrent Kickstarter using Dave's videos (before he did his of course) and copying the design (since it's open source)

content: Quote from: miguelvp on June 09, 2014, 02:43:46 pmI do believe this happened; although in the case of the uCurrent copycat, it was clearly a branding issue as well as a direct rip off of all of Dave's material. In this case, it's the research which doesn't seem to be as well defined.
