The video, you can have. Simple wiring trick, with a mains supply through the baseboard.

The "reality", you can't have.

TANSTAAFL.

I am a firm believer that sites like Youtube should police themselves and forbid videos that give false or inaccurate information. I am overwhelmed by the amount of disinformation that populates the internet.

Free-speech man, everybody should be allowed to say anything; it's for their peers to correct them (e.g. by posting a comment on the video).

(No censorship)

Free speech doesn't apply to a private site.

It can do, you mean that it doesn't have to.
What wouldn't you want YouTube to exclude? Personal-opinions to camera would tend to be caught by disinformation-rules, and there's a lot more that you could think of good reasons to prohibit that isn't now. Advertising is often borderline-disinformation too.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you, but if Google wanted to take them down, there's no law against it.

Yes, I was thinking of moral-law rather than statute.

Well I hate to be "that guy" but this video is not a matter of personal opinion but a blatant lie. It is physically impossible for electrons to keep circling in a loop and still have the potential to power gadgets like the ones in the video.

Is it a lie, or a practical joke that's being wildly misread ?

Don't forget those that represent themselves in court, you know what people say: "The man that speak for himself in court has a fool for a client"

Divided? Surely not!

Unless you mean they are divided into polite dismissal and derisory dismissal?

If they say they have done it, THEY ARE LYING.
