McElwaine ripped off Star Trek w/his FREE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY<tm> article. In this one, he rips off from Japanese anime. The particle beams and psychic resonance whatchamacallit are from Mobile Suit Gundam. The Neutral Particle Beam that caused the tidal wave near India is similar to the Wave Motion Gun from Spaceship Yamato (called Starblazers in this country) and the a-grav drive is from any number of anime shows that lean too far away from reality or make up their own physics. I think the Cosmospheres sound similar to some spherical mecha I saw in Mobile Suit Gundam too. Then there's that stupid attempt to link "retirement" to "termination" a la _Blade Runner_. This guy isn't even original. Oh yeah, the Subcraft is really a toy from the GI Joe line. To think that someone told me that reading too much science fiction would do no good. Look here, I can find hoaxes by matching them with fiction. ;-) I could slip in a parody of this article if anyone wants me to waste the bandwidth. Maybe not. -- Patrick Chester |---------------------------------------------------- wolfone@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu |"The earth is too fragile a basket in which to keep Politically Incorrect | all your eggs."
