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.

He does have a point though... we need to repeal those outdated laws of physics!!! CHANGE: Obama-Quinn '08!
Because you just wrote that, he'll be laying under sister's bed in the exact same pose and creepy facial expression on Father's day this Sunday..
I underwent serious therapeutic counseling after seeing this picture on Engadget the first two times. Thanks a lot for putting it up yet again.
@Homeboy:
There's a "monkey's uncle" and a "child molesting uncle" joke somewhere in there but my primate mind isn't developed enough to spin it correctly.
lol Check out the "pedo-smile" ...
Two links.. one is a forum thread on overunity.com where you can see some of Archer's logic in action:

Second is a youtube video I made to try to convince him and others on that site that there is no free energy in a simple lever:

And why does this man get media coverage? True measure of an idiot is that for someone who claims to be smarter than us, he still could have "invented" it for his own personal use and just had a $0 energy bill..if it were true. He'll definitely believe in Newton's law when this rock in my hand hits him upside the head.
"Hello Clarice"
looks like someone wanted some internet fame and couldnt deliver a product. i bet this turns to an apple-microsoft flame wars somehow
who cares..does it have multitouch?
No, but I suspect that Archer does.
Maybe Quinn's ideas were inspired by hard-drive thrashing during Vista boot-ups, when Newtonian physics breaks down and the present stretches to infinity...
A blog? Hell, with that level of superiority, why not a cult?
I wonder if you need the decoder ring from cracker jack boxes to understand him... I've always wanted to use that damn decoder ring I found 15 years ago.
this guy is so lonely he doesn't even have anyone to take this picture for him... laaaaame
No, he is married to a famous doctor. You may know her, Dr. Quinn.
@Chad
Harley?

Medicine Woman.
Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman was a US television show that ran from 1993-1998.

This guy is a frigging moron.
I doubt he even has highschool physics.
Beware of the MG conspriacy people!
Vaporware!
I gave up on my time machine for the same reasons.
ROFL!
It's too bad your time machine didn't work. If it did you could have traveled back in time and not wasted time working on it.
Maybe we should plug Mr. Quinn into the power grid. He generates more than enough hot air to meet all of our future energy needs.
Stick him up on a pole in front of the windmill farms.
This is a sad, sad, day...for future comedy relief!
Monkeys?
Monkey see, monkey do. (or was that doodoo in the space capsule?)
When I read his original posts I figured out that what he was trying to do was have a disk with pivoting weights that fell closer to the centre on one side and further out on the other as it rotated. Thinking that the weights on the out side would impart more force about the turning centre. Obviously failed to realise there would be more weights in the end on the closer to centre side and it would all balance its self out.
Perhaps he should have done some testing before shouting his mouth off!
Please, give us another chance!
"I want to see you hole back the Ocean in the next 4 years".
No, YOU hole back the ocean. I'm holing back the mountains.
He needs to read up on kinetic energy since he based his whole concept on falling matter trying to justify it in terms of over shooting some sort of gravity equilibrium. He obviously missed out on Cub Scuts as a child, he would have learned all this in the Pine Wood Derby Event. LOL
Eh.. Wait tell the 20th and we'll see what he's got..
tool
Well luckily he clearly doesn't live on this crappy planet of ours.
I'd be wary of opening my mailbox if I were on this guy's mailing list.
This guy isn't a moron, he's a charlatan:
Charlatan
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source
A charlatan is a person practising quackery or some similar confidence trick in order to obtain money or advantage via some form of pretence or deception
Charlatans are just like prostitutes, except they lie for money
How the crap do I get in on that? I really need some better lies.
Don't prostitues also lie when they tell you you're so big and great.
don't prostitutes lie for money? :)
You're right. I think someone should expose his fraud and give all the money he made to real scientists.
personally, i think he's on to something.
"personally, i think he's on to something."
personally, i think he's on something.
Fixed :)
Seriously, this guy is comedy gold. Check these wonderful excerpts:
"Paedophile Check?????? I want f@cking Newtonian checks brought in to schools. Next time you talk to one just say yooouuuu diiickheads."
"f@cking apes, Charlton heston was lucky for him it was just a f@cking movie, I have to wake up to this shit every day.
you can dig up Isaac newton so he can suck my cock.
why does it work??"
"Last post
Signed
Just another idiot"
I concur. Please go away and come back when a) you can write clearly and b) you have something useful to say.
"So use the base hydro and one of the in line systems to pump it back, because of the cohesive rope the power of the river remains as one, as for the other hydros in the line? stick all the others up your ass."
Wow.
Laughing so hard "base hydros" came out my ass.
This sounds like one of those spam e-mails. It would actually be funny to see a spam bot made from this guys ramblings. Or some site that you could send random ramblings of this guy to "rick-roll" a friend.
I'm pretty sure what he's trying to say (though it's rather like trying to interpret Lassie) is that instead of using several hydroelectric plants along a river to harness energy, they should use the energy of one to pump the water back upstream.
Yeah, he's still an idiot.
