The Power of Angels

Filed under: Breaking News,Faith,Science — Sisyphus @ 9:38 am

O ye of little faith, this is the solution to the energy crisis.

Ask a materialist if an infinitely powerful entity is possible, and they will give you a “No!”, without even bothering to consider the question for a moment. The materialist understanding of the laws of thermodynamics exclude any understanding of systems that have infinite energy. Unfortunately for materialists, their understanding of these basic scientific principles is about to receive a major challenge.

Sean McCarthy and Richard Walshe, the two boffins behind Steorn Research unveiled their latest gizmo: The Orbo, a magnetic engine which according to carefully controlled experiments can produce up to three times as much energy as is put into it,effectively creating an infinite amount of energy from apparently nowhere.

Steorn’s findings totally undermine the basic premise of materialism, simply by demonstrating a confirmed physical effect that materialists predict cannot happen. These clever Irish researchers have demonstrated that the principles of thermodynamics function in a manner far closer to the predictions of William Dembski and William Brookfield than the clearly flawed thermodynamic claims of Hawkings and Maxwell.

The same scientists who tell you that Intelligent Design is impossible also dispute the hard-facts of Steorn’s peer-reviewed findings. I predict that this humble contraption will show the world just how much materialists have misled mainstream-science.

Magnetics are powered by the motions of electrons. Electrons, as we know, are angels performing God’s work. The power of angels can supply us with infinite, unlimited power, if we as a society are willing to cast aside the mendacity and the mythology of the “scientific” community, and place our trust in the Lord.

Angel power will support our society for as long as we remain united, Christian, free, and true. Angel power is there, for a Christian nation of patriots with the will to reach for it.

Orbo is based upon the principle of time variant magneto-mechanical interactions. The core output from our Orbo technology is mechanical. This mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy using standard generator technology either by integrating such technology directly with Orbo or by connecting the mechanical output from Orbo to the generation technology. The efficiency of such mechanical/electrical conversions is highly dependent on the components used and is also a function of size.

Orbo technology is subject to continuous development. This development is focused on improving the manufacturability of the technology, production costs and power density. Orbo was initially developed as using stop-start mechanisms (with a power density of 0.5 Watts per cm3), Steorn is currently finalizing the development of constant motion systems and a significant improvement in power density is anticipated.

I can’t claim to understand all the techno-babble there, but I know enough to know that angels perform miracles. Electricity is the motion of angels through our God-given appliances and current systems. Angels will make Orbo work, as well. Then God will inspire our inventors with new ways to harness this unlimited power source. President Brownback will take the helm of America at an exciting and wondrous time. America’s future greatness will make our glorious past seem like a dim shadow. If we keep our faith in God and His servant, President Brownback, this nation will soar above all comers. Our mission is to bring Christianity and freedom to the world; Orbo will be our ship, and Brownback will be our helmsman. God bless us all, this is a wonderful time to be alive!

  1. Now that is some long overdue Gospel. Angels possess powers that mortal man cannot possibly begin to comprehend. From the Divinity we receive grace, power, and knowledge.

    Mark 13:27 tells us,” And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.” This very scripture shows us God’s plan for utilizing His natural resource, Angels.

    This is a very thought provoking topic which I pray by the Blood of the Christ it isn’t derailed by non-believers and doubters.

  3. Too late!

    Hah, well I’ll get right to the crux of the matter. This machine clearly defies the laws of thermodynamics as we know them. This is particularly amazing as our laws of thermodynamics are THE most reinforced and best understood of all scientific theories.

    I will say this much: if they can actually do this, they will blow mainstream scientific understanding out of the water. Suspiciously, though, they provide no pictures of the machine, nor any real explanation on how it works, and its sole public demonstration was subject to “technical difficulties”.

    This looks like another Cold Fusion falsity. Cold fusion looked like a done deal, and would revolutionize America’s energy. However, it could never be reproduced. I’m almost 100 percent sure that this Orbo thing will just dissolve into thin air.

    Also, why would God give this invention to the Irish, intead of God’s “chosen” country, the US of God?

    Oh, and Gaines-Crockett, to answer the 50 dead muslims post, nuclear bombs don’t really leave big holes in the ground. They just flatten things. And the reason why nobody ues them over all other is not because of the sheer number of deaths, or the scouring of vast tracts of land, but the fact that the radioactive fallout would circle the (round) Earth and arrive at America’s west coast and drift on through the heartlands. Not too healthy.

  4. Reading the Steorn website I get the impression they are confused about what they have. They seem to feel Christ gave them this secret to help their faltering web marketing business, not as a tool to show the world God is real. Hopefully some good Christians will reclaim their device for the use Christ wants it to put to.

    Adam,

    It should be clear enough that God is more than able to defy any man made law, like thermodynamics. I mean I know you are an atheist and Canadian but just stop the Dawkins talking points for just this once. Since this is device is clearly impossible then that means God must exist.

    Y’know what? Just stop saying stupid things. I can think of so many things wrong with that sentence, but the intelligence area of my brain will melt if I try to get through them all.

    So if something impossible happens, God exists?? Or maybe we just don’t understand the universe yet? Like how it was a scientific fact that bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly, or that the end of the world would occur at 2000. You just put your otherwise healthy brain into neutral and make every answer “God did it”. What a sad, empty existence.

    Whatever happened to the good ol’ days of the old Testament where YHWH gleefully took credit for doing all manner of things? Seems like he’s dried up as of late…

    You’re not half as intelligent as you think you are, and not one billionth as intelligent as God. Why don’t you try thinking with your heart for once? If you let God fill the God-shaped hole in there, you may find you have an easier time accepting the Truth about things.

    “So if something impossible happens, God exists??”

    Yes.

    “Or maybe we just don’t understand the universe yet? Like how it was a scientific fact that bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly, or that the end of the world would occur at 2000.”

    God is everywhere, always. “Before Abraham was, I AM.” The answer’s in Scripture. You know, the book that the Koran is a blasphemous, heretical digression from.

    “You’re not even a Christian. You’re a hostile idiot who thinks angels live in his TV.”

    They do indeed. You have yet to refute this fact. All you can offer me are ad hominems, slurs, jokes, and insane tirades about bumblebees and “Trading Spouses.” You can’t disprove what I say, so you are forced to retort with infantile snipings. Very typical leftist behavior, really. I pity you.

    And no, Sisyphus, evolution does not violate either the laws of thermodynamics. If you actually kept tabs on the various Protestant denominations against evolution, you’d know that they ask people NOT to try to make those points as it makes Creationists look like idiots.

    And how am I supposed to disprove your claim about angels in electronics. Your claim is unfalsifiable. I could just as well say that microscopic aliens power my refrigerator. Nobody can “prove” otherwise because it’s such a retarded claim. And besides, you are the ONLY person I have ever heard claim that electrons are angels, and i sincerely doubt that you’re a pioneer in human knowledge.

    Besides, what about antimatter? Woudln’t it make more sense to say that matter is good and Christian while antimatter is evil and Muslim or something, and when they meet the polar opposites annihilate in a blast of pure energy? Oh well, both claims are gross misunderstandings of particle physics, and to even make the claim shows how very little you know about the world.

    So, you take the little invention you’ve found, and that has been peer-reviewed, and demand money ($1 million, to be exact) from that “scientist”, James Randi. Excellent! Kill at least two birds with one stone.

    Postulated without any supportive evidence (does a salt-crystal have an intelligent designer?)

    “Natural selection is not a code, but only a sort of cybernetic device which snuffs out the disorderly effects of the mutation process. Is the evolutionist really so foolish as to think this kind of mindless interplay could produce the human brain – or, is it not simply that `the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not’ (2 Cor. 4:4).”

Saying that a neutron can make moral choices is insane, and by your argument, an amoeba can make moral choices.

    You are the pioneer of this “theory”. How about you link to some other similar claims that electrons are angels (and protons are Liberals… lol!).

    1. In 2006, the company was losing over 3 million euros per year and had incentive to do this to make money.
    2. This machine is of the same breed that have been debunked hundreds of times now.
    3. They have still not publicly demonstrated the machine.
    4. Energy isn’t getting any cheaper. The smart thing to do would be to start up a power plant, sell energy, and keep the machine secret.

    Also, it seems like they botched it big time:
    They tried to demonstrate how the thing works in london, unfortunately it was a fiasco.

  55. Now that I’ve seen the diagrams I can debunk it:

    Within a circular ring of magnets the field strength is zero (all field lines cancel out.)
    Steorn probably wants to fix this by periodically moving some of the outer magnets in the ring (hence their “time-variance” technobabble), but since magnetic forces are mutual (the inner magnets also push the outer magnets away), you’d get a dampened harmonic oscillator if you use a power source to move the outer magnets, or a steady-state harmonic oscillator (like a swing, or a pendulum) if you use a pendulum to move the outer magnets.
    Either way, you cannot drain energy because that would dampen the oscillator to the point where it stops moving (although this may take a while.)
    This is why the device does not work, even without friction and with truly permanent magnets.

  60. When Angels Go Wrong

  61. When Angels Go Wrong

    When I submitted this post to Sisyphus, never did I anticipate the overwhelming response it would generate. It appears to have excited much passion as well as much misconception. When Senator Brownback is elected President he will be able to address such controversies in our society through judicious application of national policy. Thereby freeing our educational and scientific communities to pursue their missions without constraint from certain special interests.

    There seems to be some misunderstanding of what the “angels” are and what they can and cannot do. Let me endeavor to add some clarity to the subject.

    Sisyphus stated that Electrons are angels performing God’s work. Some of you have questioned this and seek to place limits on God’s will.

    For those of you who have grown up with the language of secularism we could interpret this as that, in a very real sense, angels are what angels do. Or that electrons are performing the work that God sets them to do for us. Angels owe their existence to God’s wish that his will be done upon this world. The work they do is how mere humans get to observe proof of their manifestation.

    Science has managed to reduce the laws which seem to govern the behavior and interaction of all types of matter and energy we are aware of, to a small core of fundamental laws and theories. Electrons are covered by the Standard Model

    Scientific observation can explain what the electromagnetic and other forces do, but it is limited in explaining their very source of this power. Fortunately we can use logic and scientific reasoning to illuminate God’s will.

    Some claim that the vast majority of possible values for the parameters of the Standard Model are incompatible with the existence of life.

    But the scientific method has demonstrated that such claims are wrong. For we live in a Fine Tuned Universe where life exists.

    According to arguments based on the Anthropic Principle, the Standard Model has the field content it does and the parameters it has because the universe has to be based upon parameters able to support life.

    We should not be surprised to find that any universal constants on electrons we observe would be configured in such a way as to allow for our existence.

    In other words, The very existence of laws that you say this device violates is proof that God designed the Universe to sustain our lives. And if He deems it necessary and us worthy, it is He and his servants who can set the electrons spinning to further his will.

    For you naysayers, let me bring you out of the realm of theory and show you a recent case in point. Woe be it to those who might fall astray of his plan for our salvation. I can not say whether it was brought down by the sinful music they were listening to or some other craven thoughts. But when God has had enough of your antics he can set the angels to bend the electrons any way he wants to leave their mark.

  65. Electrons are subatomic particals made of protons (positive charge) nuetrons (no charge) and electrons (negative charge.) The protons and nuetrons make up the nucleus of the atom and the electrons are in “shells” surronding the nucleus. Two electrons in the first shell, four in the next, …..on and on depending on the atom. Now, ignore the electrons for a minute. The protons determine your atom. The number of these will tell you what it is. For example, if you have eight protons then you have an oxygen atom. If you have one you have hydrogen. If you have 2 helium, and it goes all the way up into triple-digit numbers for this process (See: Periodic Table and Atomic Number). Now, an atom has a charge that totals out to ZERO because they have the same number of protons and electrons. (positive cancels a negative and vice versa) Now, every atom wishes to have a full outer shell (8 electrons for example). Oxygen has six in its outer shell. Hydrogen has one in its outer shell. What’s an atom to do? By ionic bonding (bonding by charges as opposed to covalent bonding by sharing electrons) these can come together and make a full outer shell with a once again nuetral charge. Two Hydrogen (totaling to a 2- charge) and one Oxygen (with a 2+ charge) make H2O. And that my friend is water. The atom is a unit with parts that have different functions to work together. The proton is the identity, the electron is like the glue…or magnet if you will, and nuetrons are there to keep things stable in a sense. There are no angels floating around the demonic spirits. It’s a simple process set up by God. Then the inside of a proton for example is made of six smaller piece. These pieces are called top, bottom, strange, charm, up, and down. (Top was last discovered) These are called quarks (check my spelling.) They are found to be made of compressed sound. It’s basic Chemistry.

  66. Oh La Mona La Mona,

    I see you are well versed in the language of the secular education establishment. I commend you for applying yourself and learning your lessons thoroughly. But I fear, through no fault of your own, that it has stunted your ability for objective reasoning.

    Fortunately, in the future when we have placed moral reasoned men like Senator Brownback in high office and other places of trust and power, your children will not be limited to the polemic language of a secular progressive education. They will able to explore the scientific world fully, unencumbered by the indoctrination fostered upon them by the doctrine of materialism. A doctrine that has polluted an entire generation since the implementation of LBJ’s failed experiment in a “Great Society”.

    No longer will future generations have to suffer, like La Mona, from inability to understand both atomic particles and the means God uses them for in his grand plan.

    Sadly, I do not think you realize that you and I are actually on the same page. We are not talking apples and oranges here. You just lack essential parts of your education to see it. In this case, Angels are not apparent as tiny little winged beings flitting around every atomic nucleus. They are evident as the way electrons perform to fulfill the role God designed them to do for us.

    You almost had it when you said: “It’s a simple process set up by God.” Of all the ways our omnipotent God could have set up the processes, he choose the one for electrons that would engender life to form and from its properties would bear the fruit of usefulness to man.

    Angels are what angels do. They manifest themselves to us by their work. They can be seen in the forces in the Universe that are organized to his plan.

    Science has shown us how the nuclear forces work. Now physics is beginning to show us why these forces make the universe Fine Tuned as such a fit habitat for life and man.

    You really should do some study on the Anthropic Principle. Try this to begin with. And this article contains a more advanced discussion of how the nuclear forces and atomic particles are organized precisely, Fine Tuned, to do God’s will.

    I would also recommend the Privaledged Planet.

    Our host Sisyphus was essentially right to reject the secular materialistic tenets of the Copernican Revolution in his classic post: Heliocentrism is an Atheist Doctrine . While Copernicus was correct about the mechanics of the universe he poisoned mankind for hundreds of years with the mistaken belief that our place in the Universe was not special. The Anthropic Principle and our measurements of a Fine Tuned Universe show us that our God given uniqueness is not dependent on a central location but the very parameters of our existence.

    Humanity lives in a unique location—and moment—in cosmic space-time that allows not only for the possibility of human existence but also for the opportunity to discover that human existence represents a miracle, a special case.

    Earth’s particular location gives humans a special window to the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and the universe itself. In virtually any other galaxy or at any other location in Earth’s galaxy and at every other time in cosmic history, the view to the surrounding area would be so unstable and/or so occluded that the form, structure, size, and other characteristics of the galaxy and universe would remain obscure to any sentient observers. Earth’s creatures enjoy a special view to the splendors of the cosmos. Nowhere else and at no other time in the universe would such glory be visible.

    The importance of the anthropic principle can hardly be overstated. It returns legitimacy and respectability to the human species as a worthy, even primary, subject of scientific research. Further, the anthropic principle has the potential to bring about a paradigm shift arguably as profound as any shift in human remembrance.

    This is cutting edge physics, Einstein stuff. The times they are a changing. The Copernican Revolution and the damage it has done is over. We can now imagine a new world. When Senator Brownback is elected president he can unleash our scientific community from its liberal shackles and we can finally free the educational system to raise our children to study the Universe in the way God meant for us to understand it.

  68. You’re sickly sad. With an IQ above 140 and years of Gifted Education in logic studies and analytical processes I doubt I have a problem with “objective reasoning.”

    If you think that Brownback will be president then I question your ability to reason. If you knew anything of Government and Politics you would know that to be impossible. Also, the founding fathers thought about religious extremists of your variety (as they just fought a war for freedom from a government that persecuted in a variety of ways.) Your kind will NEVER control government here. And even if your candidate could make the cut (I’ll amuse your fantasy for a minute) he could not do what you wish and he probably doesn’t even agree with you and your government ideas. We are protected by the Constitution certain rights. Do you know them? Then there are two other branches of government. Those two check the powers of the president (which are limited, and you would know that if you knew Government). The Judicial Branch checks all laws and judge them to be Constitutional or not…if not it does not pass and is killed. The legislative branch (that would be Congress which is in Democrat control) hold most the power between 535 people.

    Your thoughts on atoms make no sense. God is logical. If He sets something up it has a process that fits. (He’s a fan of Science processes.) When He designed the human body for example He made it to function in certain ways (the study of which is Anatomy). Science explains those ways. It’s not random. Science could be said to be Man’s way of putting God’s processes into words. (from a Christian perspective.) Obviously there is question to how the world started, but that’s about the extent of the divide. Did you also know that the Bible is in favor of education and people not being ignorant?

  70. My goodness La Mona,

    It is clear you have been gifted with intelligence. I know it must be frustrating process to realize there has been a deficit in your education. Please do not blame me the messenger.

    You obviously have a vast knowledge of the material we are discussing. You can identify every tree in the forest, but you have no idea how to see them together to navigate through them. It is not all your fault. Nor are you alone in this affliction. It is a typical, if unfortunate, result of our liberal materialistic education establishment. We take very bright young minds and strip away the tools they need to find the path, sending them blind and crippled out into the world. Where in their growing frustration at what they lack, they perpetuate much damage to society.

    You may want to brush up on your practice of inquiry. Your analysis is a bit., well, all over the place, scattershot. Pay more attention to the inductive phase of your reasoning. You are misevaluating deductions from the material to reach such unfounded certainty in your conclusions.

    In regards to my discussion of atomic particles and the nature of fundamental forces, I take exception at your comment that I make no sense. I am a man of science and of faith. Again you make your case with an argument that is the same as mine. Of course God is logical, I never implied he wasn’t. He put logic into the Universe and gave us the various forms of reasoning to explore it.

    You go on to essentially give an example of Teleological reasoning. Which is a core idea in the Anthropic Principle of physics and cosmology. God set the processes of the universe (electromagnetism, other fundamental forces, etc.) to fit the forms he wanted in it (stellar bodies, man, a life sustaining Earth, etc.).

    I am a proud supporter of Senator Brownback’s campaign. I am under no delusion that he is not a front runner. What you fail to realize is the importance second tier primary candidates can have on shaping a party’s platform issues. Senator Brownback is the candidate who has the strongest unwavering record on issues that matter to the conservative base. Issues like Immigration, Security, Life and Education, Unlike Flipper RudyMcRomeny. You need to look no further than the polls of conservatives on the issues that matter most to them to see that Senator Brownback is fully inline with the electorate. With the implosion of McCain’s campaign this shows that conservatives will reject someone who does not support their views.

    As the good Senator Brownback has said in the NYT : “For this reason, I oppose the exclusion of either faith or reason from the discussion. An attempt by either to seek a monopoly on these questions would be wrong-headed. As science continues to explore the details of man’s origin, faith can do its part as well. The fundamental question for me is how these theories affect our understanding of the human person.

    …People of faith should be rational, using the gift of reason that God has given us. At the same time, reason itself cannot answer every question. Faith seeks to purify reason so that we might be able to see more clearly, not less. Faith supplements the scientific method by providing an understanding of values, meaning and purpose.”

    There is nothing extremist here at all. This is a country that embraces God. The Constitution guaranties freedom for religion, not freedom from religion.

    You are flat wrong that the President does not direct educational policy. He sets the policies and the budget for what the departments of the federal government do. He leads his party to adopt a platform in line with their conjoined objectives. So that congress will approve his budget and sponsor supportive legislation.

    For example look at the great success President Bush and Senator Brownback has had in making Abstinence Education policy the law of the land. By forbidding the spending of money on any organization domestic or foreign that teaches anything but abstinence.

    Senator Brownback has made a clear stand on how he wants to improve education. Even if he does not win the Republican Primary, by raising the importance of this and other issues in the campaign, he will only succeed in influencing the front runners to abide by the will of the base. Thereby increasing his relevance in the Senate for future Republican policy positions.

    And seriously, people getting hit by lightning because they had something made from metal near their head are not that rare.

  72. From what I’ve seen here, I doubt “defect.”

    The President is only one person of one branch of the federal government. It takes all of them to pass certain education deals…like NCLB (No Child Left Behind–which sucks in practice…I can explain that too.) He can influence, but not alone can he change. The government itself (as a unit) controls these budgets and regulations for education (I listen to my teachers gripe at some and praise others.)

    Freedom OF religion. Not FOR. That can be taken two different ways. (at least in my mind.) Of religion is for EVERYBODY. And people that wish to make their version of “Christianity” dominant cannot run this government. (as the views of Marica, Crockett, Sisyphus…they should be enough.) They are what could be called…extremists.

    I’m glad you can see that he is not a “front runner.” (Can you let Crockett know for me?)

    Depending on how you mean that, it could be absolutely wrong. The Establishment Clause is precisely what is called a “negative freedom” – a freedom “from” something — the establishment of religion by the state. But then, I think you know this.

  75. “The Establishment Clause is precisely what is called a “negative freedom” – a freedom “from” something”.

    Interesting in that the rights enumerated in the constitution are “God given”. Could it be that the framers misinterpreted God’s will when they supposedly wrote down mankind’s rights? Our minister often receives messages directly from God and readily admits that his wording is sometimes not literally what God said to him. He cannot explain exactly why, but I believe God speaks in a kind of accent that man cannot literally translate. This is why some of his commands to otherwise devout people are misinterpreted and we go off at obtuse angles to his wishes. The militant Muslims are a prime example of this phenomenon.

    Because he is a pagan god. He is credited with creating the heavens and the earth. He and his brother killed a giant and carved him up, using his brains for clouds, his flesh for the earth, and his bones and teeth to make stones. He also was credited by his believers in creating man and woman from logs. Unlike the real God who made Adam from dirt and Eve from the flesh and bones of Adam, this guy used wood. How could anyone believe something so silly?

    I’m sorry, Sisyphus can’t read. I said that I can “bend” not “shift.” Those are two completely different things. (I bend like one doing gymnastics…I’m flexible. The end.) Sisyphus can’t read straight and will twist anything to satisfy his own self especially when it comes to trying to discredit someone he can’t compete with on a level field. Don’t sink so low Sisyphus. It’s not cute. Your blind statement is but a small example of the false claims, assumptions, and baseless accusations thrown my way…and with each one my points on your ignorance become stronger and stronger. You’re only helping me. Besides, anyone with a brain here knows I’m a Christian. By your logic, anyone who disagrees with anything you say is something close to demon-possessed…And you’re wrong many times over. Let’s see…Flawed “logic” labels someone blindly as demon-possessed…someone they have never seen/met. Blindly accuses them…Can’t read. Doesn’t know the difference between “bend” and “shift” in the English language. Yea, you have a strong arguement there Sisyphus. Congrats. (sarcasm)
