New windless windmill technology could mean jobs in S.C.

by Charlotte K. Berger

CHERAW – Cheraw resident Allen Caggiano and his son, Matthew David of California, have recently completed their new invention, which is a new prototype (Angular Force Generator) Green Machine) made to produce electrical energy using the concept of (angular force). For the last three years, the father and son team have worked together building the one-of-a kind machine they say could possibly generate numerous jobs in South Carolina, if it is mass-produced.

“We have other interested investors in other countries such as Europe, Holland and Canada who feel it is something that could take off worldwide and help a lot of people who are out of work,” said Caggiano. “We already have two patents pending on the prototype and the production model,” said Caggiano.

He further explained that the prototype AFT sits on a seven-foot tripod and is constructed of two and three-inch pipes, including a single retractable pendulum. The actual product will be constructed with four-inch pipes with two projectile pendulums.


...

“This new technology combines the Angular Force Generator and Multiple Angular Force Generator, gravity, anti-gravity, centrifugal force, momentum, weight, balance and timing together, resulting in a new technology that has the potential to power an entire home, business, complex, city and state with totally free electricity.

1. Oh I hope they get the country of Europe to fund it.

3. It's a cinch
...

According to Caggiano, a European grant in the amount of $500,000 (Euros) is in the process of getting approved through the European Economic Council. ...

7. More likely the region of Dumbfuckistan, located right here in the gol-durn US of A! (NT)

4. Yeah, it really is a great picture
Edited on Thu Feb-25-10 06:10 PM by OKIsItJustMe
I'm thinking they're on to something. (“The actual product ... will work by using gears instead of cable and pulleys,” added Caggiano.)

Oh, well, in that case, I'm sure it will work.

6. What kind of power...torque...can be achieved in the demo model...?
What are the wind velocity minimum requirements??

Much more info is needed....

(No wind is required.)

13. Is it me??? LOL...:o) Why would they name it a "windless windmill"
Why not an electric generator??

What is the driving force behind the mechanism....?

Is it too early for disclosure?

Something has to make a doohickey go Round and round??

OR is it solar???

21. Scam energy is what makes it go around.
The device harnesses the massive scam potential these two "inventors" sense in a town desperate for jobs.

Of course it will stop turning after they leave town with all the money.

9. Humm, not a single word on how it works
or what principles an Angular Force Generator is supposed work from.

10. It's all pretty clear
“This new technology combines the Angular Force Generator and Multiple Angular Force Generator, gravity, anti-gravity, centrifugal force, momentum, weight, balance and timing ..."

11. BUT “We feel this is the answer to global warming because the AFG and MAFG produces zero pollution"
It does that while producing zero energy.

12. Hey, it's bound to work - it runs on anti-gravity
Edited on Thu Feb-25-10 06:55 PM by muriel_volestrangler
I can't think why someone hasn't thought of using that before ...

This guy is possibly the one who's been behind the "I invented a better carburettor and the Powers That Be shut me up!" stories:

http://www.renovationpress.com/AllenCaggiano.html

And may well be this Allen Caggiano: http://openjurist.org/977/f2d/566/caggiano-v-united-states

I wonder how embarrassed that reporter is going to be, very, very soon. Things like this spread quickly ovar teh interwebs ...

15. It's the opposition of anti-gravity against gravity that does it
The result is "dynamic tension," and that leads to powerful results (as any disciple of Charles Atlas can tell you.)

16. It's the headline they've chosen that I like so much
A story in which they claim the discovery of anti-gravity, and thus the overturning of physics, and the invention of free energy that will transform the world and end global warming, and their take on it is "could mean jobs in S.C.". This really belongs in The Onion.

17. Really, there are so many aspects of the story...
However, I was struck by the dynamic tension aspects.

Windless/Windmill
Angular Force Generator/Multiple Angular Force Generator
Gravity/Anti-gravity
Centrifugal force/Momentum (actually the same thing, but...)

I believe he's made a Rube Goldberg machine.

19. The patent office requires all perpetual motion machines to be accompanied by a WORKING model.
All attempts to repeal the second law of thermodynamics by prayer, legislation, and dumbass wishful thinking only slightly more ridiculous than "solar will save us" wishful thinking have prevented a patent from being issued for a perpetual motion machine.

I believe on this site we have a lounge, and I'm not sure if we have a mysticism forum, although truth be told, I'm entirely convinced we need one.

22. I prefer perpetual motion machines of subtlety and grace.
This machine is simply crass.

A sensuously swinging complex pendulum powered by a hidden radio coil or solar cell would be a pretty good one.

Perpetual motion machines should also have a theme: Mad Scientist, Steam Punk, Ancient Astronaut...

Emulating Hewlett and Packard or Jobs and Wozniak as "Garage Tinkerers" is totally overdone and doesn't work if you are entirely ignorant of science.

I think "Probed by Aliens" would be a good theme for these clowns.

24. Why are they always in a garage with a lawn tractor in the background
and not the Princeton particle physics lab? :shrug:

25. Practical things are done in garages
Princeton particle physics labs are all theory.

27. Yep, while the eggheads were solving dead-end equations
two guys in a South Carolina garage rolled up their sleeves and gave the first law of thermodynamics a good ass-whoopin'.

What a story...this is what made America great! :patriot:

28. You mean "makes" ... right?
America's still great buddy! and these guys represent just one of the reasons why.

29. And if you'll notice this garage is a carport with sides
I have a carport like that but without the sheet metal on the side walls. We started to put the side walls on but decided against that as we knew it would eventually be filled with first one thing and then the other leaving no room for our vehicles, knowing the packrats we are and all.
