[edit] Gibbs energy

Free energy is a superceded terminology. See Talk:Gibbs_free_energy and IUPAC definitions. 128.250.204.118 00:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

The IUPAC recommendation is that this parameter be called either the Gibbs energy, or the Gibbs energy function. 134.193.168.75

[edit] No Disambig cleanup

Articles related to "free energy" clarified and are articles which treat this item; The MoS breaks down here; MoS:DAB#Break_rules) 134.193.168.75 13:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Each item needs to be shorter. I am not advocating that it be made as short as the examples on MoS:DAB. See [1], for example. I would do it myself but I do not think I have sufficient knowledge in the subject. —Centrxtalk • 20:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Although most DAB pages are very brief, and that is as it should be, I really really do like the longer version of this page. This is in part because "Free energy" has a lot of cranky, pseudoscience baggage associated with it. The longer form of this page helps keep things in perspective. If DAB page rules are a problem, maybe we can move this page to Free energy (overview) or something like that? linas 14:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Definition mistakes and violation of neutrality

The energy from fantastical forces considered perpetual motion. These devices utilize quantum vacuum perturbation, quantum vacuum energy, rotating magnets, as well as some purported methods to crack hydrogen

That is not true. These things are not perpetuum mobile. Perpetuum mobile has its definition, and this is not it.

I am jumping through the articles and I see that paranoia and pseudoscience is everywhere. Please clean this up.

[edit] Error

There is a big big mistake. Free means "gratis" and "free source". Free energy, can mean also:

  • Gratis energy, the conception contained in the article.
  • Free source energy at low cost or at high cost. This is the conception intendently forgot in the article.
