A little more humour . . .

 


This is a recent post by what I call the Tartarian Scam : supposedly fabulous technology that existed before the 1870s that did not need coal or electricity or wires etc. etc. blah blah. 
It ignores basic physics to sell a myth. Compressed air has been used to run things but you are fooling yourself if you think that would be enough to run actual railroads across continets and nations - oh yes, where is all of this highly compressed air going to come from? and where is the 18th century metallurgy to make steel (not iron!) tanks to store all of this highly compressed air? 
 

This one is just pure AI stupidity. Wow. Guess he really doesn't want to be disturbed. 

Maxwell's African Technology Breakthrough

 Here are a few snaps of videos I found last year on Youtube about a supposed technological breakthrough by an African Gent named Maxwell Chikumbutsa. 

I am not a scientist but I have done a bit of research into energy and so-called free energy devices and none of the ones that actually do something had the power/weight ratio to drive a domestic car. 

I don't think you need to see any of these video to know that they are fake and all of the thumbnails are AI generated. I suspect that Elon would have been most unhappy to see his likeness there. Still, I think it is funny. Name one technological development that came from Africa. C'mon, I dare ya.
