@LloydYdeana Like I said before, do a little research. You will find you are wrong if you think global warming is being caused solely due to human interaction. Research both sides of a story before sticking to one. Or you can continue to let people think for you.

@Haytearah I did. But if you have other causes, then school me. Post here the gist of ur claim. But prove ur claim with utmost validity from empirical data. But beware, don't ever attempt to restate other wannabe's theories and opinion who are actually disguised as modern day charlatans. Show solid evidences as accepted by the scientific community. If you think that it's cyclical & celestial as caused by gradual change in our orbit, explain then why the sudden change in global temperature?

But foremost, is my question that you haven't answered yet. What do u think is the impact on drastic increase of CO2 concentration in our atmosphere?

@LloydYdeana good question, but you missed how it works. The only emission is the air you took in. I recommend you look at how it works. Bottom line is, there is no CO2 emissions.

I invented a breakthrough energy source which violates the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation (and also experimental evidence of such phenomena). Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200, value of the energy produced yearly $5400, zero operating costs. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.

No limits people! This guy is outside the box and so am i. There are those whom would have called this a foolish idea before it was created but the best is yet to come. Mmwuuuaaaahhhaahahhaha! "The secret is in the sand"." If you build it they will come". I whisper and then laugh spookily.

Not in practical use in 3rd world country, because it is not cheep, in India a 5KVA electric generator and Diesel engine both come in 25000 INR($600). No one in india invest more than this because only for clean and green. We don't know what is clean and green we only know what is cheep and reliable.

Lets pause for a second,altho a great invention this certainly isent the first of its kind,it is still gona rely on fossle fuels,no supression of this technolgy here then!, strange tho because some pretty ground breaking non useing fossle fuel technolgies were swept under that very big carpet of our goverments,in fact its like a mountain under the carpet theres that much there so b4 we all clap like seals just remember we have been fucking screwed for decades to line the pockets of comglomerates

@MimiZ914 Not quite exactly, no! (But, admittedly, close...). Tesla was ultimately into harnessing vacuum-fluctuation energy, more-or-less along the lines of (in terms of contemporary theorist(s)/inventor(s)), say, Tom Bearden. But this BloomBox stuff is certainly---to say the least!---interesting & hopeful.

you cannot run a fuel cell without fuell, you need the chemical energy that is inside the fuel.

this guy can be another Bill Gates of 21st centruy , if he can come up with an affordable solutions to each and every families for the energy needs. Microsoft revelutionize the world which helps to have access with computer most of the people on planet. Untill Microsoft came in Existance IBM was dominate the computer and it was accesible to elite class and rich only. There are many companies out there coming up with different energy solutions .
