Goed bezig, brontosaurus!

Bent Spoon Winner
The winners of the annual Skeptics Bent Spoon award (presented to the "perpetrator of the most preposterous piece of pseudoscientific piffle") for 2001 was announced at the Australian Skeptics National Convention in Brisbane on November 10.
The winners were the proponents of the Lutec Free Energy Generator, John Christie and Lou Brits of Cairns, for the most concerted campaign to market the invention least likely to fulfil its promises.
Their generator, claimed to produce 30 times more output than input, was slated to solve the world's energy crisis.
The proponents set up an entire infrastructure: World Patents, numbered bank account, elaborate business plan, closed demonstrations to investors, and promises of franchises. Media exposure included newspaper, TV, US radio, and Internet sites.
Information provided by the proponents included glowing references from an alleged international technology company (actually one created by the promoters themselves).
This award owes much to the technical and investigative skills of Skeptical engineer, Ian Bryce, whose detailed reports in the Skeptic (21:3 and the following item in this issue) show how, despite many difficulties, he exposed the truth: the theoretical basis of the device is fatally flawed and the patents worthless. The prototype's actual output power is 33% of its input.
Well done Ian.
