r/ElectroBOOM on Reddit: First Post: Seeking Advice About Emerging 'Free Energy' Scammer Ashton Forbes
June 7, 2024 -

Ashton has what appears to be an emerging free energy scam his latest YT video (not providing link).

He has previously promoted a very thoroughly debunked pair of videos about MH370.

His scam seems to be VERY in depth, and actually led by another group. It seems possible that he could mislead and defraud many people with this scam.

He's set up an LLC (AetherTech), and is apparently developing contract language and closed session demonstrations where an NDA is required just to observe, and who knows what else.

He's trying to reach out and get youtubers with large follower counts to sign a contract and then say it's real when they "prove it works with electrical meters". He has already mentioned ElectroBoom, and presumably would target others.

There are MAJOR red flags to this.

I guess I'm posting this here to get ahead of his attempts to further his grift and potentially find some ways to spread awareness and prevent people from being taken by his scam.

He's said a lot more lately, and it looks like he's planning to try to market this supposed device with lots of legal boiler plate to try to scare purchasers out of saying anything whether it works or not.

Ideas?

What can be done to help unsuspecting people like my Grandma from getting scammed by this (obviously, I would never let MY grandma fall for this).

Absolute bullshit. They are "bringing the concept of Aether back" - this alone is enough to call them complete idiots who do not understand physics or intentionally use this term to scam people. "Aether" was a thing at the time we didn't even know about electrons! People were making wild theories, trying to explain the results of their experiments.. After electromagnetic fields and corresponding science were established, "aether" became the thing of the dark past. He is mentioning the "Casimir effect" and this is the real thing; "vacuum energy", yes. No, you can't use it to extract energy from the vacuum. Zero-point energy, despite having ENERGY in its name, is not an energy source, its the lowest energy state of the field. You cannot "borrow" the energy out of it because you cannot lower the energy level even more (without any compensating mechanisms returning the energy balance back), zero-point is the lowest energy state, no(zero) energy is available for you. Unless you have a convenient black hole in your pocket so you can suck this hole dry using virtual particles from the vacuum. "Casimir effect proofs that there is latent energy out there".. at least read the wiki page before diving into such a cringe. Otherwise, next time you will be "extracting energy out of the permanent magnets". ".. if you put two plates close to each other, there is an attraction force", and also - a repulsive force. It depends on the configuration. And again, - a force, not an energy source. "attractive forces can be put to work, energy!". Put the magnets or springs to work. Idiot! Funny enough, he started the video talking about "open source" and at the 30:00 mark, you get an "NDA". This is hilarious. At least show us some pictures, is it a "bendini motor" or its variations? Most likely, it is. It's just a scam. They are bloating their image, trying to look like they have something, but ultimately this will be an average spinning shit, a few coils, and ridiculously dumb "measurements" to "proof" how it works - a few multimeters plus a complete ignorance about frequency, phase shifts, RMS vs Peak and so on; dumb current x voltage = "free energy if numbers does not match". As usual, many fakes was produced exactly this way. Even more hilarious is that he clearly states - this "device" produces more energy than is required to start it, does not require any energy afterwards, and.. can lower your energy bills "significantly". Wait, what? Why do i need to lower my bills if this magical device produces its own energy? Because it doesn't. Dropping the video at 32:00 mark, its a truck load of crap.

i mean... the man is believing in some cgi vids about a plane teleporter, MH370, how ez is to fool him with some "free energy" device? with a little social engineering, finding out what he 'knows' and like to talk about: aether, vacuum, Quantum fluctuation and words like that, its easy to put them in a speech talking about your working free energy macheen. either this or he after them twitter fame money, farming engagement, delaying to show the device for weeks, not a single proof, just twitter posts and more posts... doesnt look good, now hes mad cause' community notes' is blocking his revenue, coincidence? if hes smart enough to be a troll and he made this as a engagement farming 'conspiracy' thing, i predict, he and his frands will not sell any device, not cause there will not be any buyer, but cause they will invoke some bllshit excuses, to why they dont wanna sell anymore, so it wont be a real scamm anymore, just another conspiracy video on tktok, all will be forgotten and forgiven with time. this "come and watch it work" nda calling for famous youtubers, is full of loops and foul proff, noone can debunk it, yeah watch it run, but dont touch it or open it, or measure for outside forces, could be a tesla behind the wall powering it for all we know there is no real info provided, besides the input and output voltage so yeah the nda.. you cant rly talk about it besides saying it works or it doesnt, but you cant prove it doesnt work, so you must say it work, cause you saw it 'work' and saying otherwise your bound to be sued for lying (or defamation, or whatever the legal term is called) cause of nda

Let's Talk About UFOs [S2Ep13 audio] - by Jeff Wise
August 16, 2024 - In recent months one of the most viral pieces of MH370-related content has been a video that purports to show the airplane being surrounded by a trio of UFOs, which then escort it through some kind of wormhole or interdimensional portal. The video has been tirelessly promoted by a man named Ashton Forbes who has developed a whole elaborate patter to explain how the video came to be. On its face, the whole thing is ridiculous.

A friend that knows I am interested in fusion suggested I watch Ashton Forbe's videos. Anything good there? The videos are long so I don't want to waste my time if there is nothing intelligent there.
