I haven't posted here in a long time, and even when I did, my
questions were not answered properly (this may be due to my
innapropriate conduct in the past, however, in which case the
reaction is understandable and due).

I have some basic fundamental issues concerning whirlpower.

David Dennard likened the Whirlpower Hypothesis to a black hole in
his introduction (as well as a neutron star). That is a bad
comparison based on the fact that it appears that most whirlpower
stations would occur on earth (where there's more friction than in
the vacuum of space).

The main problem I have is that of friction. In all models I've
seen, I have never seen or read of anyone being able to account for
friction.

I also have read that according to the Conservation of Energy
Theorem, you will never get more out of an energy source than you put
in. I will not debate that issue until I've read more on it.

Does anyone have an answer on the accountability of friction?

Thank you,
