Whatever came of his hydrogen/electrolysis project? He has talked before about how those big control panel boxes he made and the high voltage transformers were to contol some kind of high power electrolysis rig that would make a huge hot-air-balloon-like flame. Not sure if that was some kind of free energy effort or if he just wanted to make fire with electricity.

IIRC it worked by using a big gyroscope to stay stationary while the earth rotated, causing 1 rotation every 24 hours. So not technically free energy, just taking it from the earth

I was quite worried that he'd gone off the deep end when he published that video

The way I understood his "free energy"-device back in the day, was supposedly trying to induce a current into a set of coils from the very tiny discrepancies between the earth's rotation and that of its magnetic field. How the gyroscope would play into it, is anybody's guess (alignment, I suppose?). Obviously, none of this would work, and I don't think he was in a particularly good place back then.

I saw an artwork like this before, maybe by Anish Kapur?

I remember him showing a cube with an outlet and a switch that could power a lightbulb. He eventually revealed that inside were just a bunch of lithium ion cells taken out of disposable vapes

That’s not a very charitable interpretation. He was distraught about not being able to get his wife into the UK and was lashing out. He removed the video, he knows it was silly. Hopefully the situation was sorted.
reply
His wife is mentioned as being behind the camera in the latest video, so it sounds like it was sorted.

Yeah UK marriage visas are fucking expensive, long and humiliating.

Its one of those things that was borne out of tabloid panic (IMPORTING WIVES AND FAMILIES!!) which means that now everyone has to go through pain until a scandal or another panic causes a change.

It's exactly the same as the green card problem in the US. The UK is not exclusively bad here.

It's just what I remembered, clearly I had no recollection of that part. My sympathies with him if he was in some kind of strife.
