A couple of inventors brought in a purported perpetual motion machine today. It consisted of two huge pistons sliding back and forth over two magnets. It made a ton of commotion and looked pretty cool, but since it was radiating a ton of heat and shaking their truck trailer back and forth, there's no way it was "generating more energy than it consumed" like they claimed.
I feel sad for the guys, though; they are so convinced. Somehow, if they think about it in a certain way, they can generate energy from nothing. I was hoping my boss could straighten them out but I think they were pretty stuck in their ways. They seemed to have been very emotionally invested in the thing which can good but not when it comes to science or engineering.
