Say what? There's no mention of zero point energy in the article, and the project simply measures the electromagnetic field emitted by a museum-piece Accutron watch. The language used is apparently meant to befuddle nontechnical readers, but there's little left to the imagination in the thorough description and the complete schematic diagrams.

As an electronics engineer, it's obvious to me that the project would be much more sensitive and reliable if it used an autocorrelation detector -- a phase-coherent emitter of electromagnetic radiation and an adjacent detector -- thus eliminating the pointless Accutron watch. But that's not relevant to your claim that it's a scam, it's just badly designed.

So I have to ask, exactly how is this a scam?

Did you read his updates?

He is out there.

Wow. You are so right. The idea that he would build this elaborate apparatus in furtherance of such a flaky goal staggers the mind.

The first impression is that the electronics does what he intended, but I failed to read why he was doing it.

No wonder he thinks he needs a vintage Accutron watch as a gateway into the beyond.

Maybe if he learned physics ...
