    My free energy experiments

    "Be nice to the RF cops when they come after you. They might just give you a warning about making severe interference to radio and TV" :o Heck, it will be a miracle if I even get it working even with drift... so I won't be worried about the DOC for a while I think... a friend of mine who used...
