Wacky or Real?!?

Many times in today's world we come across ads saying that we can get something for free, or this is too good to be true (yet they claim it works). There are somethings that appear true at first glance, yet when digging, it can be found to be false.



This is a perpetuum mobile, an object of perpetual motion. It is, of course, BS. Perpetual motion does not exsist, because if it did, it could generate free energy and energy cannot be created. This one is pretty easy to see that the falling links aren't causing the motion to accure, most likely it is being powered by a small motor that is hidden behind the object. Also, how can scientists in ten million dollar labs with decades of knowledge not be able to figure it out, while some one can build one in thier garage ?

I'm opening this thread for people to post what they find that they don't whether they are Wacky or Real.



(although this is really happening, it is a trick that won't work out in the world)



(this one is CG, you can tell cause they missed a frame around second 17)



(you can't trust a picture ever again)

So if there is anything that people want to bring up to be discussed to see if they are true. Go for it!

in Scientific American Reports, volumer 17, number 3, 2007. They wrote and artical regarding plasmonics (the theory behind the invisiblity cloak). In this artical, it blows off all claims that invisiblity is possible for individual use, saying "...Well's invisible man may never become a reality..." but it does show that it may one day be possible for spaceships to have a cloaking device (although it isn't anything like what Star Trek might have you believe).
