:Referring to specific people as "evil" or "trolls" goes beyond expressing your experience and becomes a personal attack. I see someone else has removed the section; you will probably add it back again, but I will block you for personal attacks if that kind of language is still included when you do, or if it's repeated elsewhere. See ] -- you can express your opinions of other users, including negative ones, in a way that isn't a personal attack. ]]<sup>]</sup> 18:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

* Two things you need to know: first, ] explicitly acknowledges that user space may not be used as a soapbox; second, if you continue to publish what you state is the real name of a user who chooses not to identify with that name here, you may be banned. Not just blocked, banned. Outing real identities is at the discretion of the user, not those attacking them. Now here's another small thing: if you persist in linking to the deleted attack on your talk page, then I will delete the history of the page so you can't. Attacks are deleted because they are attacks, linking to the attacks through page histories is ''completely unacceptable''. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 20:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I've globally reverted, but perhaps it was only the shock to see 98 edits of you in the history. If you pls just state what you are trying to achieve at the talk page, I wouldn't revert you restoring your version. --] 17:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

== rexresearch ==

With some pain I had to point out that in my opinion the problem with rexresearch links are not spam in the first place. Perhaps yopu may want to add a statement yourself: . --] 21:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

== Free energy ==

Just a quick request. Could you please maybe try to make fewer small edits. If you want to see how things are going to look, it's easier just to use the preview button.

] 07:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

==Seriously, please stop ==

Please stop making 100s and 100s of small edits. It makes it impossible to keep track of what exactly is happening.

== Please help improve ] ==

You are listed as a participant in WikiProject Energy development, so I am asking you to please consider helping to improve the ] article. This is an ''ad hoc'' article improvement drive. ] 08:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

== multiple edits ==

This is the third request that I am making, please stop making multiple small edits to a single page. You have made 20+ edits in a row sometimes more. This makes it very difficult for editors to follow what you have done or to keep track of a pages revision history.

] 07:24, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure what to do about that. I usually forget about the preview button. And unless I do not dothe edit i need to do, there is not much I can doabout it. ] 12:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
==Maglev Train==

==Megalith==
Please stop adding more books to ]. There are enough already. As much as Misplaced Pages is not a repository for lists of external links, neither is it a repository for book lists. Have you read any of these books? Secondly, I would like to echo perfectblue's comments from above: please use the preview feature before saving your edits. To do so is a courtesy for other editors, and eases load on the WP servers. This is now the fourth time on your talk page you have been asked. Thank you. &mdash; ]<sup> ]</sup> 22:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Most of the older ones in totality ... and alot of the newer ones in portions (some more, some less) but can be searched through. ] 22:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

:They are accessible in libraries to anyone, a feature common to all books. You haven't addressed my question: have you read these books, or are you adding them as the result of a search? The interval between you adding them was consistent with finding a new title, formatting the reference, and then adding it. You continued to make a multitude of small edits without previewing them, failing to heed my, and others, requests. &mdash; ]<sup> ]</sup> 11:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


Adding referencesand material from books is called "fact based research". Try it. You may like it.

As to the preview thing ... I have always edited wikipeida with smaller edits.

Editors do not have to have a degree to make edits to any article, and more than that you have no way of knowing that all an editor's credentials are accurately and completely compiled on the internet, regardless of how many searches you perform. You have no way of knowing what the reasons are for any editor making any edits here except what they tell you their reasons are. Trying to read into their credentials isn't going to get you very far and is generally considered aggressive for this community. --] 15:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I am intermittently inactive.

My current access to wikipedia is not stable and as such I will not be on much. Misplaced Pages also has grown more closed and biased since my first edits and that saddens me. So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish. J. D. Redding 19:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Bruce DePalma

Bruce DePalma (born Bruno James DePalma) (October 2, 19351997), son of noted orthopaedic surgeon Anthony DePalma and elder brother of film director Brian De Palma, was a well known figure in the Free energy suppression community.

De Palma claimed that his N-machine Homopolar generator, a device based on the Faraday disc, could produce five times the energy required to run it. According to mainstream physics, no such device is physically possible. De Palma studied electrical engineering at Harvard (1958) and taught physics at MIT for 15 years, working under Harold Eugene Edgerton. He was also employed by Edwin H. Land of Polaroid fame.

Bruce De Palma's development of the N-machine concept in 1977, among his other anomalous devices (at least one of which, De Palma claimed, displayed anti-gravity characteristics) and the claims surrounding them, set him on a collision course with his more mainstream peers. His claims of "free energy" were vigorously refuted over the course of twenty years, by conventional scientists and some members of the alternative energy community alike.

His search for financial backing for the construction of a marketable N-machine saw him relocate from Santa Barbara, California to Australia c. 1994, and then New Zealand in 1996. Probably his greatest ally in his conviction that the N-machine could solve the world's energy and environmental crisis was Paramahamsa Tewari, a Project Director with the Indian Nuclear Power Corporation, with whom he corresponded regularly over many years. Tewari's Space Power Generator, claimed to be 200% efficient, is based on the same theoretical foundations as the N-machine.

De Palma's death in New Zealand in October 1997 put an end to his most ambitious free energy project, and occurred only weeks prior to the official testing of a device constructed over the course of 6 months in an Auckland workshop. The test was attended by, among others, the project's financial backer, Bruce Bornholdt, a prominent Wellington barrister, as well as the pioneering developer of the Adams motor, Robert Adams (now deceased), who observed the operation of, and measured electrical output from, the N-machine. This single test failed to demonstrate the over-unity potential of the N-machine - most of the output energy being lost as heat - and the project was immediately dissolved.
