Hi Hoppy. Ha ha. I won't say it is  not possible, but it seems to me someone would have to be
pretty careless or naive to not take a close look at the ground lug to check for extra wires there.
Anything is possible however. I guess Kapanadze could have had mice running on a mouse wheel
connected to an alternator inside an enclosed box inside the aquarium as well. They would have to be
pretty strong mice however.   Hee hee.

Igor Moroz showed how 2000w worth of halogen bulbs could be lit by a single thin practically invisible magnet wire, grounded to the cement floor, yards away from the source, an induction heater circuit.

Hi Void,

Thanks for your reply. I think we all agree that 100% elimination of tricks on video is not possible. Its not a case of me wanting to believe its a fake, just that I consider it very likely that trickery was involved, in the absense of anything that strongly indicates otherwise. Or to put it more simply, I have a different way of looking at this than you.

Visual concealment of the trick methodology - that's the skill of the magician and by my reckoning Kapanadze has more than enough of that to fool an inspection team that is only allowed a close visual look at a screwed down earth lead lug. It most certainly is possible to visually conceal two conductors of sufficient gauge to power the electric fire using the braid to lug fixing arrangement shown. I have done this myself running a 2KW rated fire over a similar length of run.

Hi Hoppy. Anything is possible, but its hard to imagine people would spend a bunch of money
to go see a Kapanadze demo in person and not have it at the top of their list to make sure the
ground wire connection point does not contain hidden or live wires. There are only three external wires to inspect.
The ground wire and the two output wires. Its hard to imagine people would go to all that trouble and expense
to go over there and not make a point of checking the ground connection point very carefully, but you could be
right with your contention that they were all very mentally handicapped. I think the odds are at least as good for the mice.

Hi Magpwr,

I added a PS to my post 12868 yesterday, to say that I had confirmed to myself that the images I posted were not wires / cables. If this video was produced with the intention of impressing would-be investors, then Tariel chose a very poor environment for this demonstration. The Aqua2 demo was a lot more convincing IMO.

With regards to the device connected to the iron slab inspected by Wesley, I am fairly confident that the earth wire was not the conduit for the power supply operating that particular device. Whilst on the subject of earth wires, I'm wondering why Tariel went to the trouble in casting the earth rod into raised concrete blocks in both the Aqua2 and 2015 videos. Any thoughts on this anyone?

Yes, silly lick test bearing in mind that having been caught out on the Aqua2, they were most unlikely to try the same stunt again, if they were really intending to demonstrate the 2015 device to investors. The guy even measures the braid with a clamp meter thinking that a zero current reading would show that Tariel was not hiding anything by not showing a reading on the Aqua2 braid but probably not realising what Verpies has pointed out in his post above; that the same zero reading would have been shown with the mains being carried in the braid of the Aqua2 device.
