Dear Joe: I have been on the road, still am, and unable to red through in detail the guest postings. Sepp’s work on p2p infrastructures has been excellent in the past, but we do not agree on everything. What is relevant here, in our context, is perhaps not the full scientific claims, which may be doubtful, but that they’re using open source hardware, thus it is related to the trends we monitor.

Really? This isn’t to say that they I completely disbelieve that they one day could exist, but is the P2P blog really the appropriate place for a machine that claims such a major breakthrough to be posted? It is far more likely that this machine is a hoax (or that, as in the example of a heat pump that it does work, but does not subvert the second law of thermodynamics). Either way posting claims about the invalidity of the second law without substantial back up is decreases the credibility of this site.
