Subject: RE: Questions
on the nature of collectors.
Forget all that
stuff. Okay, you are not convinced until you build a successful free
energy system that will extract EM energy from the vacuum, freely, and
guaranteed. You can do it for $1.
Get a parallel plate
capacitor and a permanent magnet and charge up the capacitor.
Now lay the capacitor
on the magnet so that the E-field of the magnet is at right angles to
the H-field of the capacitor. That's it. You just made a guaranteed,
certified (even by the normal electrical engineering taught in
university) free energy machine. That silly thing will sit there and
pour out EM energy flow S = f(E X H) as long as you leave it alone, or
until the charge of the capacitor finally leaks off. Use an electret
instead of a capacitor, and 15 years from now it will still be freely
pouring out real EM energy. Even in the first year, the energy flow in
all directions will have reached across a volume of space that is a
light-year in radius --- out well beyond the solar system. That first
year alone, you changed the ambient energy density of the vacuum in that
great volume of space by a little. The amount of energy that poured out
of that magnet and capacitor in one year is mind-boggling, but real.
And it will still be going. Note that every charge in the universe has
a magnetic field due to its spin, and also an E-field. The two are also
at right angles. So every charge is a fine little Poynting generator all
its own, even by the standard theory. They just can't figure out where
the energy comes from, because their model excludes the active vacuum
and its continuous energetic exchange with every charge and dipole.
The standard Poynting
energy flow theory used by all electrical engineers and electrical
engineering departments assures you that this energy flow from E X H is
true. E.g.:
Quoting
Jed Z.
Buchwald, From Maxwell to
Microphysics, University of Chicago Press, Chicago and
London, 1985, p. 44:
"[Poynting's result] implies that a charged capacitor in a constant
magnetic field which is not parallel to the electric field is the seat
of energy flows even though all macroscopic phenomena are static."
Jed Z. Buchwald, From Maxwell to Microphysics, University of
Chicago Press, Chicago and London, 1985, p. 44.
You see, there is no problem
at all in extracting all the EM energy from the vacuum that you wish.
Anywhere in the universe, anytime, for peanuts. Never has been, never
will be. Every charge and every dipole in the universe already does
that easily and continuously. Those charges and dipoles in the original
matter of the universe have been steadily pouring out EM energy freely
and continuously for some 14 billion years.
The electrical power
engineering boys and the classical EM model they use consider the source
charge problem (i.e., the problem of every charge steadily pouring out
EM energy in 3-space in all directions, without any observable energy
being input to it) to be the most difficult unsolved problem in quantal
and classical electrodynamics.
To confirm it, here's a
quote from D.K. Sen, Fields and/or Particles, Academic Press,
London and New York, 1968, p. viii. Quoting:
"The connection between the field and
its source has always been and still is the most difficult problem in
classical and quantum electrodynamics."
At the time Sen wrote that
way back in 1968, the basis for the solution to where the input energy
comes from, and how it gets absorbed by the charge and changed into real
observable EM energy, had already been discovered and proven in particle
physics for 9 years, as evidenced by the award of the Nobel Prize to Lee
and Yang for the discovery of broken symmetry. One of the broken
symmetries so proven is the broken symmetry of opposite charges --- such
as on the opposite ends of a common dipole. Or for a single "isolated"
charge, just go to quantum mechanics and consider that any observable
isolated charge in space is actually clustered around by virtual charges
of opposite sign. Take a differential piece of the observable charge,
and one of those virtual charges of opposite sign, and voila! You have
a composite dipole. So the "single charge" can be considered as just a
set of composite dipoles, each of which has a broken symmetry in the
fierce virtual particle flux of the vacuum.
So what does this "broken
symmetry" of the opposite charges of a dipole actually mean?
Rigorously it means that the
dipole continually absorbs unusable (virtual) EM energy from the
seething vacuum, integrates it coherently into observable photons, and
re-emits those observable real photons in all directions.
I pointed all this out in
2000, citing the necessary references. Lee and Yang showed the basis
for it in 1956-57 (and it was experimentally proven by Wu et al. in
1957). So revolutionary a change to all of physics was that discovery
of broken symmetry, that the Nobel Committee awarded Lee and Yang the
Nobel Prize in December of that same year, 1957 in a nearly
unprecedented action.
Now wouldn't it be nice and
proper if the staid old electrical engineering departments and
professors would simply change their woefully inadequate and highly
simplified model to incorporate what has already been proven in particle
physics, now 45 years ago? They haven't, and they have no intention of
changing it if they can help it. Mention EM energy from the vacuum to
the average EE department, and you get snickers and snide remarks.
Sadly, they do not even realize what has already been proven in particle
physics.
So the only problem in the
energy crisis is how to intercept and catch some of that freely flowing
Poynting energy, once you make a silly dipole or simply assemble some
charge and get a free ever-lasting gusher of EM energy pouring out in
all directions. You must intercept and collect some of the energy, then
dissipate it in a load, WITHOUT using half of the collected energy to
destroy that dipole (that free gusher of EM energy).
Well, here the electrical
engineers grab us again and destroy any chance at getting that power
meter off your house of that gas meter at the gas pump where you fuel
your car. They use the ubiquitous closed loop circuit as if Moses
brought it down from the mountain as the 11th commandment, forcibly
passing all the spent electrons from the external circuit back through
the source dipole formed in the generator (or battery). That stupid
circuit --- unless interrupted and altered appropriately during the
processing of the collected energy --- GUARANTEES that half the EM
energy collected by the external circuit is used to do nothing but
destroy that dipole and shut off the energy flow. That's called the
"Lorentz symmetrical regauging" condition, and it automatically discards
all COP>1.0 Maxwellian systems since the mid 1880s. Those discarded
systems are indeed covered in Maxwell's original 1865 theory.
The other half of the
collected energy in the external circuit is dissipated in the loads and
losses of the external circuit. So less gets dissipated in the load as
useful work, than is used to destroy the source dipole by scattering its
charges.
Well, it takes as much EM
energy to RESTORE the source dipole as it took to DESTROY it (standard
electrodynamics). So even in a perfect generator, you have to put back
in as much mechanical shaft energy to the generator as was used to
destroy the dipole --- so the mechanical input energy can be transduced
into magnetic energy inside the generator, and then the magnetic energy
can be dissipated upon the internal charges inside the generator and
between its terminals to force those opposite charges back apart again
and restore the source dipole and the energy flow from the vacuum again.
Our electrical power
engineers are taught to build and use only those circuits that destroy
their source dipoles faster than they power their loads.
So we pay the power company
to have a giant wrestling match inside its generators and lose, thanks
to the electrical engineering departments and the U.S. scientific
community. With energy friends like that, who needs energy enemies?
The ONLY energy problem
there ever has been is working out how to use that free energy collected
in the external circuit in a different fashion from that of the standard
closed current loop circuit. It must be used in such a fashion that
more of the collected energy is dissipated in the load than is
dissipated in the source dipole in the generator to destroy it. That's
the only energy problem. There are at least three or four dozen ways of
going about developing such systems that violate the standard closed
current loop circuit only approach. If the same scientific community
would fund it and make it a priority, and if the electrical engineering
departments would assign some of their sharp young grad students and
post docs to the problem, then in 2 years or less there would never
again be an electrical energy problem anywhere on earth. But to do
that, and keep the dinosaurs from destroying the careers of the young
fellows interested in the problem, either the mindset of the entire
scientific community has to change, or we have to wait until the
dinosaurs die off and get out of the way -- to put it straight as
pointed out by Max Planck so long ago.
So obviously no electrical
engineering department, professor, or electrodynamicist is working on
the only real electrical energy problem. Neither is the DoE, the
National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Sciences, etc.
The present scientific
community is the problem, not nature, and not oil, and not dams, and not
windmills, and not burning hydrocarbons, and not nuclear power plants.
If you need an experiment, I
suggest you go to the nonlinear optics department of your university and
get them to help you reproduce the Bohren experiment I cite in many
papers. It outputs 18 times as much energy as you input, every time.
It's also a validated experiment, having been independently reproduced
and published. It's in the hard literature, and it's doable by any
nonlinear optics group at university with access to the lab.
As far as the use of greatly
increased relaxation time of the electrons: We never were able to do
that actual experiment, although the basis for all its parts is already
proven and in the literature. I do know that it was clandestinely done
later, but am not at liberty to discuss that aspect of it. The reason
we did not do it that you have to have a metallurgical lab make the
special Fe-doped Al alloy. It has to be made in an inert atmosphere,
and it takes a metallurgical lab to make it. The labs will make you
some if you bring lots of money. We never were able to afford it. But
if you wish to do it, then by all means do not question the experiment,
but just go ahead and do it as it is stated and laid out. But first do
some homework on the subject of electron gas relaxation in different
materials. And yes, you need the conductors made of that alloy.
All this is in my papers and
material on the website and elsewhere. All the necessary references are
cited. In any of these areas, if there is something that you don't
understand --- e.g., Drude electron gas relaxation time in a conductor
in a circuit -- then you must read up on that subject. Or, if you have
a knowledgeable an helpful professor who is already knowledgeable in
that subject area, simply ask him to explain it to you in detail. Also,
Internet searches using google etc. are increasingly of excellent use in
such matters, because the universities etc. worldwide are increasingly
putting technical material on the net where it is openly available.
Another device that will
work and can be built from the patent alone is the Kawai motor, if you
(1) start with a high efficiency (O.7 or 0.8) magnetic motor to begin
with, and (2) use very efficient switching, which means photo-optical
coupled, and (3) get the necessary machining done to accurately apply
the "gear tooth" alignment flux path switching approach patented by
Kawai. You can then expect to produce a COP that is double the
efficiency of the motor. Remember, the efficiency remains the same and
always underunity, but the COP is free to change and go overunity if the
environment itself inputs some of the energy. Kawai effectively
captures the back mmf energy and uses it, so therefore doubles the
energy available to use. So you can get a 1.4 or 1.6 system that way,
if you can get the high efficiency motor, the machining to install the
Kawai flux switching gearing arrangements, and then do the electronic
switching.
Good luck to you and good
experimenting.
