Thanks for the update Chris. Do have all your ducks in a row as those that would try to stop this information from getting out will do everything they can to discredit you. Of course you already know this. Looking forward to your first episode. Thanks for being a warrior of change. :-)
Chris, your latest demo reel video on Youtube is great! http://www.youtube.com/watch… Brilliant to get Paul Pantone in the demo with his convincing test unit. Your on camera team of Matt and Carter also have an engaging style. Thanks for the continued updates. Lots of us are rooting for you guys.
Mike,
You wrote, "...please do good, impeccable science. Myth Busters is entertaining, but they are a far cry from good science."
I agree. And if we can get a large-enough budget from whichever network wants this series, we can pay for the time and detailed work required to do impeccable science. Its not cheap. Unfortunately, most of the Reality TV world thinks differently.
As far as CO2 and the "Greenhouse" effect goes, I think with methane and other emissions mankind is indeed contributing to adverse climate effects. Regardless of the merits of either side in the debate, no one believes adding more fossil fuel pollutants to the atmosphere is good. That alone makes the point mute. Our series will not tackle the geopolitical aspects of energy and the environment. We'll let Jesse Ventura and other pundits do that.
I love the whole concept, but please, please, please do good, impeccable science. Myth Busters is entertaining, but they are a far cry from good science.
One other comment, do you really believe that mankind is driving climate change significantly via CO2? Have you looked into it that deeply, the solar correlation? The fact that CO2 is not toxic in the environment, and is quite positive as a plant food?
I'm not here to make a confrontation. I ask out of sincere interest, because I've seen much evidence against human-driven warming, and the myth of it is being deliberately exploited for very sinister global control ends.
Perhaps enlightening the public in this issue could be part of your series.
Blessings to you for success in a good way
Thanks, William, for supporting our efforts. Let's envision that at least one network executive out there sees how important and successful this show can be and is willing to take a chance.
Chris, big congratulations on making your goal! And I'll be checking out Whole Systems Foundation and New Energy Movement to see what other cool stuff they are up to. Your idea of this series is so timely with the current events in the Gulf, people are deeply looking for alternatives and innovations. Bring them on!
Erik,
Kickstarter is only less than a year old. Their search engines just may not be that sophisticated yet. I urge you send them an email message by clicking on FAQ/Help above, then click Contact. I have no control from my end, that I know of, to put in searchwords.
Something is wrong with the search on KickStarter...
Type in "free energy" and it somehow doesn't know those words are in the intro to this project.
If there is somewhere where you put in searchwords, I implore you to do it so people can find this!
this show and technology information is needed to reach the people now! its all about conscience projects, conscience people, and conscience $. theses people are real and I beleive they need your support, to bring the truth to the people. best of luck.
