World Would Never Be The Same : Erke!!

I don't know if it is real or lame but they are giving adverts for one months in both TV and newpapers as just "ERKE". Everybody was asking eachother "what the hell is ERKE?"

A Turkish company founded by all ret. generals decleared that they invent a mechanism which can produce energy without using any kind of fuel. Spokesman Ret. General Ugural said that we spend 20 years in this top secret project, hiding it even from spy satelites; cars, planes, industry would run without fuel, whole world will change. He said current level of science can not explain their mechanism. He said they discover an unknown inertia power. it is now in patent process, Serial production will start in 2007. He said it is a top secret project, it could even cause wars.

PS : I translate it from a daily infront of me (Aksam Newspaper)

Scary! In my area few years back, some inventory came up with a perpetual motion gadget, that according to him was very similar to what the gen was saying. He said it used no energy and would produce energy out of nothing.

Sounds good huh? Well 5 yrs into his invention, he was blowing smoke up everyone's butt. he was scamming.

I am leery of such comments and I need proof.

Energy without fuel ?

There must be more to the project than what is being stated.

I'm with CHUQ. I'd need more proof.

Yes , everybody waits for the proofs. He said he can't say anything without patenting, it is an invenion even cause wars. Only thing I convinced, almost all serious and known ppl like former chief of stuff, former head judge of constitutional court, former generals etc.. were in press meeting for support. Lets see.....

It's a scam- or it isn't what the article describes. If it would violate the laws of thermodynamics it can't exist.

You can't produce energy out of nothing.

But many have tried- and more have made money scamming those who want to believe it is true.

Remember "cold fusion"? that didn't last long either. Energy MUST come from something/someplace. You can't create it, you can only convert it.

Depending on how much stock you put into some of the physics "theories" that are out there, there "seems" to be a type of energy, I believe it is called zero point energy, that can somehow tap into dark energy from other dimensions. I think that if anything, this might be mathmatically proven..... at best. It kinda goes along with the string theory. It has been a while since I read anything about it though. Its pretty far out there though.
