I just stumbled upon this thread.
Mr Cresswell needs to check the dimensions of various quantities stated in his web page.
I tend to look poorly on someone trying to convince me of their physics acumen when they cannot define energy either by equation or have it in the wrong units as occurs at least twice on his page.

Check your equations dimensionally!!!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew I should not have done it BUT I just wasted 40 minutes of my life reading the whole damn page of this nonsense. I cannot get the said 40 minutes back. I wonder what that has to say about information & entropy.
On a more serious note, his website has to rank right up there with the biggest crank sites I have ever seen. I know I am dumber for having read it - where is the bloody health warning is what I'd like to know.
A mixture of freshman level thermodynamics mixed with appeals to quantum fantasy all embedded in a matrix of incomprehensible prose. I mean no offense but these are the rantings of a deluded mind.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh - I'm still kicking myself for reading it!

Re: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least I wouldn't put on a web page the gibberish you have. And since I have never heard of you I guess your 'inventions' haven't hit it big.
You allude to being scorned by University departments - what a shock there. If your stuff had merit (which it doesn't) some professor would jump on it in a hurry to further their own career and bank accounts.
Why the flowery mystical prose in the descriptions. It doesn't lend credence but just highlights the general nutiness.
As I said earlier, I read it and it is just babbling nonsense from a physics standpoint.
You are right though, I do effectively live off the taxpayer + I guess University endowments. However, at least I know basic physics (+ some esoteric physics) whereas you seemingly are another nutcase engineer dabbling in areas you have zero expertise.
There are hundreds of crank websites like yours with nutty ideas and inventions that never see light of day. I wonder why? - because they don't work if built and nobody in their right mind would invest hard cash behind lunatic ideas.

Whoa there!
The onus is on you to prove it.
If your machines worked you would be on the News at Ten that night. Anyone can put bogus claims on a web page.
But even this misses the point - the physics crap on your page instantly sends you into Crankville.
It's garbage - and you either know it and are goofing around - or you don't know it and you are scientifically clueless.
My guess is the latter. - Crank.

He's a lunatic.
You know it, I know it and hopefully the rest of EvC sees this.
The equation you posted is one of the ones I noticed was just garbage.
His laissez faire treatment of units is on a par with Creationists and intellectual honesty.

HE IS A NUTCASE - PURE AND SIMPLE
with an emphasis on the simple.
Is he implying that the impedance of free space was unknown before 1988 and his letter to NPL. LOL LOL LOL
He truly doesn't know a thing about physics - he is just stringing unrelated buzzwords and concepts around producing garbage.

You sir, are a
nut.
A pure and simple, 100%, case of dementia.
Question: Is your website meant as comic relief OR (what is more frightening and likely) do you really believe this nonsense?

Melchior
you are wasting your time.
Alan Creswell is either doing this for pure amusement OR (and much more likely) he is a complete crank. There are literally hundreds of crank websites with bad physics/engineering on them. Tons of perpetual motion machines, squarers of circles etc etc - on the same level as the UFO conspiracists.
His equations make NO sense because they have NO sense. Just childish meanderings of a deluded mind.
His units are frequently wrong - he loves the phrase 'makes your head spin' - he, out of nowhere, brings up 'buzzwords' like E=mc^2 energy terms and inserts them in his nonsense expressions.
Alan Creswell is perhaps of elderly age but his webpage (and rants on here) are of a childlike intellect. Notice the way he insults others on here - it's all a conspiracy against mavericks like him by the established (yet he says deluded) mainstream scientists. Classic paranoia.

mmm what is that smell?
Yep - it's bullshit I'm smelling. Piles of crank caused bullshit.
You see Alan, the internet is wonderful for cranks like you. You can go on and on about mythical Hungarians or experiments/prototypes you are working on BUT NOTHING ever comes of it. Why?
Because with the advent of the internet you can post merrily away under the misapprehension that you are doing something. Whereas in the old days you would have been a mouse farting in the wind with not a hope of publication. Of course you are not published today but at least it gets posted for crank posterity on your web page or forums such as this.
I've got $1000 that says that we never hear of anything on your webpage being worth a shit.
Here's an equation for your:
(Alan Cresswell hot air)^3 + (Misapplied physics)^2/3 + (Cresswell paranoia) = c^2 * Googol
or:
(Cresswell work) + (Cresswell physics acumen) + (Cresswell logic) = 0

Good to see you're not taking your Lithium again.
Happy nutcasing.
