The energy conservation law in hydrodynamics vs the pseudo-law of alternative energy. Comment on 'Alternative energy vs pseudoscience' and the papers cited and not cited therein

A series of papers in the ISJAEE Journal on 'dam-free hydroelectric power station' concluded by paper: Zotyev, D. B., Alternative energy vs pseudo-science, ISJAEE. 2013. 8(130). P.131-136, is reviewed and commented. A comparison with the generally accepted energy conservation law in hydrodynamics reveals a disappointingly low scientific level of the reviewed papers (both pro- and contra- the dam-free concept), not excluding the published peer-reviewer reports. In the present version we emphasize that the ISJAEE journal published several papers, which neglect and reject the basic physical concepts, such as the Bernoulli integral, the energy conservation law in hydrodynamics, the wave function of photon and some others, with all these rejected concepts being far beyond the scientific scope of the journal. Some readers will be more concerned about the energy equation in hydrodynamics, in its theoretical form or in the Bernoulli integral form as being more traditional in technical hydromechanics. Some readers will be shocked with the statement that a photon does not possess the wave function. Overall, in this way or in that way, all readers will hardly stay unsurprised.
