    AWESOME!!! It looks as if this could be the real deal. I like the potential this guys has. If he continues on his journey I think he could make a huge name for himself. Even if this is not perpetual motion this is still a huge discovery and will greatly improve life. I hope it works out. I am excited to see the end result. Thanks so much ameliog for posting this. The best story ever!

      Thanks treefrog. We need the dreamers; they take us to new places.

      fta: "Well-educated people, from Leonardo da Vinci to Harvard-trained engineer Bruce De Palma (older brother of film director Brian De Palma), have made similar claims of perpetual motion only to be slammed down by the mainstream scientific community.

      Heins has an even greater uphill battle. He isn't an engineer. He doesn't have a graduate degrees in physics. He never even finished his electronics program at Heritage College in Gatineau, Quebec. "I have mild dyslexia and don't do well in math, so I didn't do very well in school," he says."

      I hope he's not putting a hoax over on us.

        Yeah. It would be bad if it was a hoax. Just think of how he could change the image of people with dyslexia if he created the perpetual machine. Since we do not know if it the real deal yet I do not want to place too much emphasis on this but, just like Einstien. He had dyslexia and he was a genius, if this works there will be another name to form a better out look on people with dyslexia.

        While it does not seem to meet the classic definition of a perpetual motion machine, it has great implications. I hope that a great many people work with it instead of allowing it to be buried.

          Could, this be our new method of creating energy and power?
