        Dear Samuel, 
        
        You are correct in 
        recognizing the importance of the bolded words.  That is an area  in 
        which Bedini and I are working very hard, just now.  It refers to (no 
        good name for it) something like Wheeler's pre-geometry, with respect to 
        energy one might say "pre-energy", only it's a sort of 
        pre-electromagnetics.  It is similar to the vacuum, in that normally one 
        would think it's just a huge zero, so it would appear more like 
        "electrical ground" or "pure electrical ground reference", so to speak.  
        So one is dealing with, "How do I extract and use gobs of energy freely, 
        from electrical ground?" 
        
        Yet in any grounded 
        circuit, there is just as much current running through the ground as 
        there is through the potentialized side of the circuit.  But the ground 
        current is said to have no "power" because it (for a perfect ground) has 
        no voltage (no potential), and in EE one needs both voltage and amperage 
        (and little phase lag between them!) to have "power".  Actually that 
        should long ago have given a clue: In theory, if one has the current 
        lagging the voltage by 90 degrees, one has zero power or what is called 
        "apparent power".  Usually that will not run anything --- but if you run 
        it through a proper delay feature, you can get the current and voltage 
        to get back in phase with each other, and voila!  Now it's "real 
        power".  The power company actually pays some things because they do 
        something similar and "correct the power factor". 
        
        Look at it this way.  
        One can get all the energy you wish, at minuscule cost, by having an 
        enormous voltage with very little current at all.  And one can get all 
        the current you wish, at minuscule cost, by having an enormous current 
        with very little voltage.  If one can find a way to combine those two 
        entities, so that one accepts the voltage from one and the current from 
        the other, and then tricks them to getting together, one would have 
        enormous power suddenly appear at very little input cost. 
        
        And there is a great 
        clue:  If one gets the vast voltage for free, and if one "pins" or hold 
        the vast amount of charge so it can't flow as current at least for a bit 
        of time, then --- during that "charge pinned" time --- one can freely 
        flow that voltage across that charge and potentialize it "for free". In 
        short, one can indeed combine the big voltage and the big charge for 
        free, if one freezes that charge so it can't move as current during the 
        potentialization process.  The voltage will graciously do it for you! 
        
        Then if  one switches 
        away the original source of the high potential, once the vast charge has 
        been potentialized in pinned condition, and suddenly frees the 
        now-potentialized charges in a separate complete circuit where the 
        current is constrained to flowing only in one circulation direction, one 
        can now discharge the already-combined extreme voltage and extreme 
        current as extreme power to power the load until all that collected 
        extreme power has been dissipated.  Then one can just repeat the process 
        cyclically, to continue powering a huge load for peanuts. 
        
        My colleagues and I 
        filed a preliminary patent on that process some years ago, but later had 
        to abandon it. The process we were using required a very special alloy 
        which in turn required some very expensive metallurgical work which we 
        were never able to afford.  But the PROCESS is impeccable and it will 
        hold up rigorously.  It is definitely a doable that someone ought to 
        develop. 
        
        But back to Kron's 
        open path and the "zero reference ground" potential.  With respect to 
        any other reference potential one may freely choose, that "zero ground" 
        suddenly now is a real potential (real voltage), and so --- with respect 
        to this second reference or "second ground" ---- the first ground now 
        suddenly can be used to do work and power things.  In other words, I can 
        take one "reference zero ground" and another different "reference zero 
        ground" at different reference potential, and power circuits between the 
        two! And if I'm clever and take the difference in potential off as pure 
        potential and store it on some pinned or fixed charges so no current 
        flows, I can have all the energy collected on those pinned charges that 
        I wish, and absolutely for free.   Then if I switch that SECONDARY 
        collector into a separate circuit and allow it to discharge normally, it 
        will power the circuit.  Then I can switch the collector back to the 
        source of potential, grab some more free potential without power, and do 
        it all over again and a gain.  That of course is the essence of Bedini's 
        battery switching process which he discovered long ago, and which he has 
        been using successfully to achieve a variety of COP>1.0 systems for many 
        years.  It works. 
        
         Further, if one 
        recognizes the asymmetry of opposite charges (which also means potential 
        differences), then the mere fact that the difference exists between 
        those charges or their locations, is ITSELF also extracting EM energy 
        from the vacuum and outputting it as a real energy flow in space.  Kron 
        called this his "open path", and it took him many years to discover it.  
        He was never allowed to reveal the secret of his "open path", but did 
        leave certain hints in his rigorous papers published in leading 
        journals. 
        
        Another way to look at 
        it is this: take any reference potential (such as a simple charge) 
        anywhere in the universe.   Take another one, somewhere else in the 
        universe, which is at a different potential (with respect to the ambient 
        vacuum potential, which is extraordinarily energetic).  Those two 
        charges (that difference in potential) form a dipolarity, even across 
        great separation distance, with a situation where there is opposite or 
        different charge at "each side" or "each end".  Thus the proven broken 
        symmetry of opposite charges applies.  In turn, this means that this 
        crazy extended dipolarity is receiving some virtual energy from the 
        vacuum, transducing it into real observable EM energy, and then 
        continuously pouring out that real EM energy. 
         
        
        Any charge in the 
        universe interacts in just such "open path" fashion with any other 
        differing charge in the universe, to produce a free flow of energy in 
        space.  The number of such dipolarities and open paths is beyond all 
        counting.  So contrary to how we are taught, all "empty space" is filled 
        with a mind-boggling number (essentially infinite) energy currents in 
        all directions, from untold numbers of dipolarities.  Yet it all usually 
        appears to be "zero" to anything of any particular size, where the 
        fluctuations zero out on the average. But at a smaller level, things are 
        going berserk.  It's comparable to sitting a cork in a glass of still 
        water, and my! The cork sits there seemingly absolutely still.  Now put 
        in some colloidal particles and examine them under the microscope, and 
        they are moving with fierce banging and velocity and accelerations like 
        mad, showing that the molecules of the "still" water are actually in 
        very violent motion, and they are buffeting the colloidal particles 
        fiercely.  That of course is just Brownian motion.  But if one goes 
        sufficiently small enough, and could look in there, the motion and 
        energy would have become absolutely mindboggling -- so fierce that even 
        mass itself would be ethereally thin by comparison. 
        
        The trick now is to 
        learn how to intercept the "open path" or "ground" electricity and 
        energy flows and direct them in such a way that one gets it to perform 
        useful work.  For that, one has to make a fundamental change to 
        thermodynamics, which does not encompass the "open path" effect.  I'm 
        laboring on that part of it now, and have been for several months, and I 
        believe I finally have broken the key.  Anyway, we will know for certain 
        fairly soon. 
        
        So what you are 
        groping toward is, I think, Gabriel's Kron's "open path" in its greater 
        sense.  And yes, if one can learn its phenomenology and characteristics 
        and understand it, one can power the world cheaply, cleanly, and with 
        ridiculous ease. 
        
        Of course, there are 
        some very powerful and very wealthy folks behind most of the 
        interlocking energy-related corporations and large financial structures, 
        etc., who reap huge windfalls from the present systems of electrical 
        powering, oil, and other energy aspects. (They do the same with 
        pharmaceuticals).  It's not a monolith at all, but a loose collection of 
        cartels that Winston Churchill called the "High Cabal".  Certain of 
        those powerful folks already know about the "open path" (their fathers 
        or uncles were probably the ones who suppressed Kron's open path), and 
        who are determined to suppress any open working knowledge of it.  
        Stubblefield called this kind of energy "earth electricity", and 
        developed what he called "earth batteries", etc.  to succeed in using it 
        before he died early in the 1900s.  He produced heat, light, and power 
        --- right out of the ground itself by very simple-looking (but highly 
        complicated in operational mechanism) means --- so he had it all.  As a 
        result, when he died in poverty, everything under his little cabin was 
        dug out by some mysterious folks from outside that entire place, and the 
        plates etc. he had installed in the surrounding hills, etc. were all dug 
        up and removed, as was all the equipment from his cabin.  As an example, 
        he caused the hills themselves to emit light, and his little cabin was 
        toasty warm from two special plates wired to other special plates 
        inserted in the ground. 
        
        I believe (and hope) 
        that Bedini and I will be able to crack this area and understand it,  
        because of John's experimental ability on the bench and his 
        understanding of some of the fundamental phenomenology already.  If we 
        break it, we are going to reveal it openly, by just putting it out there 
        on the Internet for all to see. John will file a patent so he will have 
        some intellectual property rights to pay expenses, but by hanging it out 
        there it will guarantee that the genie can never again be put back in 
        the bottle.
         
        
        It is high time that 
        we quit the present ever-increasing giant pollution of the biosphere 
        just to get energy and power.  John is already well into the problem 
        experimentally. I'm struggling with the explanation (even a sufficiently 
        good "ad hoc" one will do) and I do believe we shall be able to explore 
        it and explain it sufficiently for it to be duplicated and made into a 
        technology. 
        
        This is an area we 
        really don't want a lot of questions etc. on.  Once we get the work 
        done, we'll hang the results out there for all the world to see. 
        
        So yes, your intuition 
        was right on.  It is a very deep, very complicated subject, and very 
        challenging.  So it's going to take some time. With a bit of luck we 
        hope to have the gist of it in about a year. 
        
        Best wishes,
