       April 20th, 2003 Dear Mr. W***** 
      
      Thank you for your interest, and we hope you find our book, Energy from 
      the Vacuum: Concepts and Principles, of much interest to you.  I'm 
      presently working on some long-needed corrections to classical 
      thermodynamics, necessitated by several flaws in its foundations and also 
      by the application of Leyton's hierarchies of symmetry with its 
      self-organizing new object-oriented geometry.  Justification for energy 
      from the vacuum is now very rigorous, with some 20 papers in the refereed 
      literature by the Alpha Foundation's Institute for Advanced Study.  Two of 
      those papers use higher group symmetry electrodynamics --- one uses O(3) 
      and the other uses Sachs's electrodynamics --- to show how the MEG 
      permissibly takes extra energy from the active curved spacetime.  The two 
      papers are: 
      M. 
      W. Evans, P. K. Anastasovski, T. E. Bearden, et al., 
      "Explanation of the 
      Motionless Electromagnetic Generator with O(3) Electrodynamics," 
      Foundations of Physics Letters, 14(1), Feb. 2001, p. 87-94. 
      M. W. Evans, P. K. 
      Anastasovski, T. E. Bearden, et al., "Explanation of the Motionless 
      Electromagnetic Generator by Sachs's Theory of Electrodynamics," 
      Foundations of Physics Letters, 14(4), 2001, p. 387-393. 
      Another paper of direct 
      interest is:  M. W. Evans, T. E. Bearden, and A. Labounsky, "The Most 
      General Form of the Vector Potential in Electrodynamics," Foundations 
      of Physics Letters, 15(3), June 2002, p. 245-261. 
      We appreciate your interest in 
      potential licensing of the MEG. 
      All rights to the MEG are assigned to Magnetic Energy 
      Ltd., whose CEO is Dr. Lee Kenny. I'm forwarding a copy of this 
      correspondence to him.  His E-mail is given in the addressees above. 
      We 
      are not licensing at this time, since we are still seeking a substantial 
      development funding partner to enable the additional research necessary to 
      go from our present successful little laboratory experiments to full-up 
      power systems for production and marketing worldwide.  When we have our 
      first robust prototype in the home-powering output range, then we will 
      move forward on production, marketing, and licensing. 
      
      The MEG is highly nonlinear and uses geometric phase (Aharonov-Bohm 
      effect) to provide an extra free energy reservoir, in addition to the 
      normal energy reservoir where one inputs the energy and pays for it.  By 
      having two energy reservoirs instead of the usual one, and by the second 
      one being freely furnished and replenished by the active local curved 
      spacetime, we can thus draw more energy from the unit than we ourselves 
      input.  The principle is analogous to the common heat pump process, except 
      instead of a conventional 
      extra energy reservoir (the surrounding atmosphere) we use the surrounding 
      uncurled (field-free) magnetic vector potential.  Proof that the 
      Aharonov-Bohm effect does provide just such an extra energy reservoir 
      (e.g., outside a good toroidal coil) in the form of a curl-free magnetic 
      vector potential, has been in physics since the 1950s, although it has not 
      previously been applied in electrical power engineering. 
      
      Specialized work with the MEG in geometric phase, nonlinear oscillations, 
      control of nonlinear oscillations, and higher group symmetry 
      electrodynamics is required in order to (1) develop a practical 
      engineering model for effective scale-up design and prototyping, and (2) 
      go into formal production engineering to develop full production units for 
      various power sizes and applications. 
      We 
      also still have two or more additional patents to file, from work already 
      in progress. 
      
      Very best wishes, 
      
      Tom Bearden
