        Dear Ryan, 
        
          
        
        Well, for grabbers I 
        think we must somehow see one of the COP>1.0 EM systems, taking its 
        energy from the vacuum,  through to the finish and onto the world market 
        before we will see the solid resistance of the scientific community 
        change very much.  If that can be done, it will automatically change 
        electrodynamics taught in university, because the EE model implicitly 
        assumes that every EM field, EM potential, and joule of EM energy in the 
        universe is and has been freely created from nothing at all, via the 
        associated source charges.  They have been suppressing that little thing 
        for decades, and have just swept it (the source charge problem) from all 
        the textbooks etc., and never mention it. 
        
          
        
        Note that to get that 
        first "project" through, a set of the most powerful cartels on the 
        planet must be defeated, and the entire attitude of the scientific 
        community must be changed.  A pretty tall order!  Not one of the COP>1.0 
        systems (other than the common solar cell, which is not a major threat 
        to the present energy cartels) has made it through yet. 
        
          
        
        Next I think we must 
        somehow ram through the Priore-type medical therapy approach, or 
        extensions of it.  Again, that requires that another of the most 
        powerful cartels on the planet must be defeated, and the entire attitude 
        of the scientific community must be changed.  Again, a tall order!  
        Priore himself could not make it through those barriers, even though the 
        results were published in the hard French scientific community, and 
        imminent French scientists worked with him. 
        
          
        
        As a third process, I 
        think we need to ram through the use of the much more fundamental 
        longitudinal EM presently comprising all our normal EM fields and 
        potentials, as shown by Whittaker in 1903 and 1904.  By doing that, 
        perhaps we shall then be able to use this vastly extended 
        electrodynamics --- as in the Fogal technology --- for instant 
        "subspace" communications etc., "seeing at a distance", exploring 
        directly the innards of stars and planets, and lots of other things we 
        haven't even thought of as yet.  As an example, by combining this "inner 
        electrodynamics"  with the quantum potential, one can produce "engines" 
        which can perform any desired function or set of functions directly into 
        and onto a physical system, multiple systems, or all systems to change 
        it or them as one wishes. One could directly transmute elements at will, 
        change matter at will, regrow missing limbs, fix birth defeats including 
        genetic defects, etc.  One could directly eradicate all HIV viruses on 
        the planet, that cause the AIDS disease.  Or eradicate smallpox 
        completely, even in clandestine labs.  You can see the danger, however!  
        One could also eradicate every human being on the planet as well, and 
        some fool will immediately see that and get to it.  So the question 
        becomes, "As our tools and techniques become so vastly powerful, how 
        does one prevent them from being used to just destroy humanity?  Or the 
        biosphere?" The timeline is ticking. We either solve the human problem 
        first, so that humans can and will survive, or humankind will solve it 
        by eliminating it (and the humans as well). 
        
          
        
        As a fourth process, 
        antigravity (both propulsion and lift) can be developed, anytime the 
        funding and research is allowed.  A chapter of my book is devoted to our 
        own view of the mechanism that makes it possible.   This is an 
        engineerable mechanism.  Well, again one has some very powerful cartels 
        concerned with the transportation business.  So here again, one is up 
        against the same two barriers: defeating the prevailing cartels and 
        convincing the scientific community to pull its head out of the sand and 
        leave its ostrich position. 
        
          
        
        In the slightly more 
        than 30 years I've been concerned with the above, not a single COP>1.0 
        "energy from the vacuum" system has yet made it through the barriers and 
        onto the world market.  In our own case, the MEG has made it through 
        several barriers by enormous effort, but it has not yet successfully 
        made it past the "vertical cliff" funding barrier for final research and 
        development to finish it and get it on the market. 
        
          
        
        In my view, 
        increasingly it seems that it probably will not happen in my lifetime 
        (which admittedly is getting a bit short, because I'm getting a bit long 
        in the tooth!).  So we must pass on everything we can to the young grad 
        students and post doctoral scientists, and to the educated public, and 
        that is what we are trying to do with the website, book, etc. 
        
          
        
        In short, at some 
        point one has to pass the baton to other, younger, more vigorous 
        runners, and hope that they will be able to finish the race. 
        
          
        
        Welcome to the race, 
        and let's hope the new baton-carriers will get it done in spite of all 
        the opposition. 
        
          
        
        Best wishes,
