A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Looks like he's going to do the belly slide of death.
I say we load him into the LHC
For those who dont know what the LHC is, its the large hadron collider, a bigass particle accelerator.
His mullet is the secret to free energy!!! Business in the front...party in the back yeehaw!
He looks a bit like Nicholson. . .
jack Nickolson you mean?
u mean that golfer dude?
I hope the device fails... Free energy isn't worth the price of potentially having statues of this guy.
Jack Nicklaus?
Actually, kinda like a mix between Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins.
Janthony Hopkolson sounds cooler than Archer Quinn. Sorta.
Jack Nicklaus brought me golf clubs last Christmas
He looks like a mix between Ron Jeremy and Anthony Hopkins in "Mask of Zorro".
There is no such thing as a free lunch
There is such a thing as free publicity however.
but it seems to exist free energyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Seriously, I need to make a free energy site and load it with ads. I could use some extra cash.
He is smart enough to create a free energy device, but not smart enough to proof read/use grammar check/spell check...
"Genuine Perpetual motion machines, produce motion, not effect. This machine produces motion, which in turn drives and everyday generator. the size of the machine determines the size of the generator and the output."
No one ever said that smart means that you have infallible grammar and spelling. Why do you think there is a stigma that doctors have terrible handwriting? Maybe he's simply to busy making said free energy machine to be bothered with how his grammar or spelling were in his press release? Sorry just had to play devils advocate to that one :P
@makishima
I always thought they have bad handwriting because they have to write out long words many, many times throughout the day.
IMO, the savior of the world should have good grammar and spelling.
You do know that he didn't type that himself and was being interviewed by the website this is posted, right? How would someone else's grammer/punctuation reflect on him?
Not to mention that that is a transcript of an interview with him. In simple terms that means someone else probably wrote that, not him.
They all have bad handwriting because they are all left handed. All the smart people are, it's the cool thing to do these days. Right handedness is so 20th century.
People generally have either natural intelligence leaning toward math and numbers-based activities, or leaning toward words and language-based activities.
This guy is clearly the 'math' sort. I'm skilled with words, but couldn't do advanced math to save my life. I know mathematicians who can barely spell, but who can figure out the complete measurements of a room without using any instruments to do so.
Cut the guy a break. If he's going to save us all from dependence on petroleum, I'll consider him a hero.
this goes against what i have learned in high school.
and btw, his web page SUCKS
He has long hair tied back... Hardly a mullet...
And while free energy machines might be "difficult" to get. Why all the slagging off so soon?
Give them a chance... if they screw over... Then start slagging.
Seriously... What if some one gets it right? And gets slagged off before he even gets to demonstrate it. And decides to pack it in before he’s done because of all the negative shite that’s thrown at him...
Don’t you want a free energy machine?
Oh and heres some interesting stuff...

The thing is... If some one can actualy make it and try to bring it to the public... They usealy get stopped some how by the big energy industry.
Like any large industry they dont like change... And if they see something threatening there buisness they would do there best to stop it...
"Difficult"? I'd classify breaking the laws of physics as a little more the "difficult".
So you're saying he'll pack it in if a few assbags on the internet throw him some crap?
He invents the solution to the entire world's energy problems, and he throws it away because Engadget users mocked his mullet?
There's nothing to see here. Dude should call the press when he's ready to demonstrate it, not before.
I have a free energy machine. He's 14, he mows the lawn when I tell him, takes out the trash, etc. Okay, not free, he eats a lot. But it's a decent trade off.
Its obvious what the outcome of this device. Naive people with less money in their wallets, and one slimey looking man pocketing it. I have one word for all "free energy" types.
Thermodynamics.
Slag.
i think we should institute a free-energy-claims-policy like Professional Baseball did with streakers:
no one gives them any press.
this is essentially the streaking of the new media: claim you have a free-energy device that will save the world, and you'll demo it in a week or two.
that way you get your 0.15 seconds of fame.
that's no different that jumping down to the baseball field in your undies and running around: you just piss everyone off by wasting their time.
His device: "Sword of God"
Him?: "Shamoclese"
Newton's laws were made to be broken.
Entertaining to note the first Google hit that comes up with a search for "Archer Quinn":
http://www.inventored.org/caution/archer-quinn/
Rather elegant proof of quackery. Good find. Still, I'm looking forward to June 20th to hear some entertaining excuses as to why the invention can't be demonstrated.
Ah, June 20th. Excellent, plenty of time to organize popcorn and drinks and a comfy chair...
Why is he laying on the floor??? The thing is supposed to be "gravity based", so did it increase gravity so much that he can't stand up?
Wow, that'll work. I've got all the free energy in the world, but I can't stand up to put more porn in the dvd player! lol
If this worked the Sultan of Brunei would have had him killed already.
Just like that poor sap that invented the car that runs on water.
Keep laughing at him, and you're going to find him just like that...under your bed.
now THAT'S funny....
This always makes me sad inside. And the grammar errors on his site don't exactly fill me with confidence in his device. Oh yeah, and the second law of thermodynamics might have something to say about it too.
I guarantee you "problems" and delays will happen before the promised date.
I have $20 that says he's wrong.
Anyone want to bet?
Anyone?
Whats the action? 1 million to 1?
With those odds I'd be stupid not to take it.
Trust me.. you would be stupid to take it :)
Smoke much weed?
Does he have any left? Seems like some potent stuff.
Please tell me this isn't Heavenly Sword 2.
It's nice to see that he is passionate about his work.
It makes an interesting read, especially when he starts flipping out about turning off the tv.
This one seems a bit more realistic:
