[edit] Magnecular bond

This concept exists only within a not (or marginally) notable fringe theory, how to fuel cars with water. Please delete, eventually adding a line to History of perpetual motion machines. --Pjacobi 18:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Per nom. A fringe theory may in some cases be notable (not that this necessarily is), but not a part of it. Zarniwoot 19:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Complete nonsense. No theoretical chemist, and I am one, would have a bar of it. --Bduke 23:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• I demand equal attention to my theory of the Ridicular bond (with a tentative theoretical interpretation based on the new species of Lambiam ridicules). Here is a quote from another equally revolutionary theory of the same pfysicist: In this note, we propose, apparently for the first time, a new type of controlled nuclear fusion called "intermediate" because occurring at energies intermediate between those of the cold and hot fusions, and propose a specific industrial realization.[1] That having been said, I'm afraid that this magneculous theory has some degree of notability, not as much as perpetua mobilia and antigravity of course, but perhaps enough to warrant an article. If someone has access to Springerlink they may want to summarize a review in Foundations of Physics of Santilli's Foundations of Hadronic Chemistry on which this all is tentatively based. --Lambiam^Talk 23:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. New woo theories should try to explain the basics first in a central article (HHO gas would do, but redirects to Yull Brown anyway, which doesn't tell anything that makes sense yet either), then the particularities take root in sub-topics. Femto 13:40, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Nonsense.--MichaelMaggs 16:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It's in contradiction with the theory of the Deletium Principle. linas 19:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge my new version, darn it all, with Water fuel cell; note well that Ruggiero Maria Santilli is prone to found "journals" in order to self-publish his own cranky papers. Alas, he has at least three websites with enough visibility on the crank web that this is likely to pop up again. None of us needs the grief which would result, but I see a real need for a searchable cranksite database to help us keep track of what I see as a kind of shilling via obscure multiple identities, crank journals masquerading as mainstream (see Journal of Scientific Exploration where I could use some support).---CH 08:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

  Or maybe merge with this draft. Santilli appears adept at self-promotion and he does have a presence among the new energy cranks, so there may be some value on attempting to provide some kind of links to debunking sites.---CH 10:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

  Move and merge with draft into Ruggero Maria Santilli. (Keeping a redirect from magnecular bond seems unnecessary, as it's unlikely there's any time soon going to be need for linking this title from articles that are not related to this guy.) Femto 12:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
