I found this super interesting from a psychological stand point as well. It would seem most everyone's logic completely failed them because they made a few fundamental mistakes. First they presumed that when the wind speed was equal to the ground speed then the apparent wind was zero, that is a wind from the rear at 15mph and a forward speed of 15mph means the wind we feel is zero mph which is true. Then they presumed that the same thing must happen to a balloon blowing in the wind and this well engineered highly advanced craft is just like a balloon, it is just a funny looking balloon that's all  . Then from this they took a spectacular wild ass leap of faith and concluded that it must generate energy from nothing and be a perpetual mobile and break all the laws of physics. You see this doesn't sound very logical, not reasonable nor fashionable in fact it sounds quite insane to automatically judge anything they obviously do not understand as a perpetual mobile which breaks the laws of physics. On the other hand the one thing it proves to me is that most people including the experts obviously do not fully understand the concept of "Energy" otherwise they would not be making such simple mistakes then making stupid comments which were critical of the engineers who were in fact the only ones who understood what was going on. Then there is this quote: It’s been a great experience. We’ve gained faith in some and lost faith in others. We were honored to speak at Stanford and San Jose State universities and the St. Francis Yacht Club. We were entertained to learn that a student at UC-Berkeley wanted to invite us to speak there but was refused after the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory insisted such a vehicle would violate the laws of physics. I may not be an expert persay but if the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory cannot understand this simple machine then I believe someone with some common sense should fire his ass and find someone who does. As well we could ask the question again, why does everything people cannot understand have to be a violation of the laws of physics?. It would seem to me the odds that they are incompetent are far greater than the laws of physics being broken. Then there is the fact that this basically went viral overnight and everyone jumped on the bandwagon in a good old fashion hillbilly burn them at the stake witch hunt kind of way. They were harassed, ridiculed and belittled then when they finally proved what should have obvious from the start all was silent. No sorry I called you all those vile names, no sorry I harassed you, no sorry I spammed all those posts because I was absolutely sure I was right when in fact I'm just a plain old horses ass. In fact only a few people had the integrity to say they were wrong which I find a little disturbing. You will find the only thing perpetual here is the fact that this abhorrent pattern of behavior has been repeating throughout our history. It is not extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof it is judge them without the facts and belittle them until they submit to our way of thinking. It's a whacky world out there, lol. AC
