      APS  Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 12:56:14 -0500 
        
        Dear Don, 
        
          
        
        This type of ad 
        hominem attack is to be expected from persons who have not the foggiest 
        notion of what powers an EM circuit in the first place.  The tactic is 
        to attack like a pack of cur dogs, and just as vociferously.  Their 
        effectiveness, they think, is to be judged by how loudly they yell. 
         
        
          
        
        We will answer it once 
        and once only; there are far better things to do with one's time than to 
        argue with dogmatists whose gambit is cur dog pack attacks.  That is not 
        science; it is a cur dog fight.  One can discuss with a friendly and 
        open minded skeptic who focuses on the science.  Those calling one names 
        are not engaging in scientific discussion, but that same cur dog fight. 
        
          
        
        Let me put it clearly: 
        
          
        
        There is not now, and 
        there never has been, a single electrical engineering department, 
        professor, or textbook that even knows and teaches what actually powers 
        an EM circuit.  Strong words, but absolutely true.  We will show why, 
        and the reader can check it out for himself or herself. 
         
        
          
        
        That situation is 
        inexplicable and sad, since the rigorous basis for what powers an EM 
         circuit has been proven in particle physics since 1957, as witness the 
        Nobel Prize awarded to Lee and Yang that year for their work in the 
        electroweak reactions and prediction of broken symmetry.  Lee and Yang 
        strongly predicted broken symmetry in 1956 and perhaps a bit earlier, 
         and Wu et al. proved it experimentally in early 1957.  So profound a 
        change was that to all of physics, that in a nearly unprecedented action 
        the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Prize to Lee and Yang in Dec. 
        1957, the very same year. 
        
          
        
        Unfortunately the 
        results of that profound change to all of physics --- and to all of 
        electrical engineering --- has not yet made it into electrical 
        engineering, even though 45 years have passed.  The electrical 
        engineering model does not include the active vacuum, much less a broken 
        symmetry in it. 
        
          
        
        Park and all such 
        dogmatists never mention broken symmetry in the same breath as power 
        systems, and neither do electrical engineers, by and large.  Not one of 
        them has any deep knowledge at all as to what really powers the 
        electrical  power lines and every dipolar EM circuit.  That lack of 
        knowledge of the broken symmetry of any dipole (and any charge, as we 
        shall see) is part of the problem, not part of the solution.  It is also 
        why we continue to have power meters on our homes, and meters on the gas 
        pump, and rape and pillage the planet and the biosphere to burn all that 
        gas, oil, and coal, use all those nuclear fuel rods, build all those 
        dams and windmills, etc.  NONE of that of itself ever added a single 
        watt to the power line, and never will.  It only went into continuously 
        remaking the source dipole, that our silly circuits are specifically 
        designed to keep destroying faster than they power their loads. 
        
          
        
        The two papers on the 
        MEG that were published in Foundations of Physics Letters were 
        vigorously and professionally refereed, particularly the second one.  
        All those common charges of perpetual motion, etc. were levied very 
        strongly.  We prepared a detailed rebuttal, citing the actual physics 
        proof of broken symmetry of the dipole, and we also explained that 
        source charge problem and challenged the challengers to provide an 
        explanation in standard classical electrodynamics.  They could not do 
        so, of course.  So the referees upheld the rebuttal, and the journal 
        published the paper.  A scientific paper is referred and published based 
        on being good science, not whether or not it agrees with the prevailing 
        dogma.  Experiment will then prove or disprove it. 
        
          
        
        Note that the same 
        dogmatists raising their voices so stridently against cold fusion, have 
        just been given a mild lesson in what scientific method is all about, by 
        the journal Science.  We applaud the editor for admonishing all 
        vociferous and strident voices on both sides to cut the rhetoric; 
        experiment will confirm or refute the reported experiments.  That's a 
        call back to the scientific method, and we do applaud the editor of 
        Science and his staff for giving a much needed lesson in what scientific 
        method is all about.  There are now some 600 or more successful cold 
        fusion experiments worldwide, in multiple labs, by multiple reputable 
        scientists, and reported in the literature.   To offhandedly imply that 
        all these experimentalists and experiments and scientists are charlatans 
        or idiots is to offend the very dignity of the scientific community 
        itself.  Reasoned skepticism is of course quite proper, but based on 
        scientific objections and reasons, not just on the prevailing models. 
        
          
        
        The same 
        considerations must apply to the question of whether nature permits 
        COP>1.0 electrical systems.  Nature does indeed permit COP>1.0 systems; 
        the common home heat pump with an efficiency of perhaps 50%, has a COP 
        of about 4.0.  We explain the exact difference between efficiency and 
        COP shortly.  There is absolutely nothing "magical' or "perpetual 
        motion" in having COP>1.0, else we must give up all waterwheels, 
        windmills, sailboats, etc.  Any system --- whether mechanical, chemical, 
        electrical, or whatever --- that freely extracts and collects energy 
        from its environment, is permitted to exhibit five magic functions, in 
        accord with the well-recognized thermodynamics of open systems far from 
        equilibrium in an exchange with their active environment.  Such a system 
        is permitted by the laws of physics, thermodynamics, energy 
        conservation, and  nature to exhibit: (1) self-ordering, (2) 
        self-oscillation or self-rotation, (3) outputting more energy than the 
        operator directly inputs (the excess energy is freely input from the 
        active environment, (4) powering itself and its load simultaneously (all 
        the energy is freely input from the external environment), and (5) 
        exhibit negentropy. 
        
          
        
        In 2000 we pointed out 
        how and why every charge and dipole in the universe is already such a 
        system, and proved it from particle physics.  The interesting thing was 
        the giant negentropy of  the charge and the dipole.  That has in fact 
        powered all EM circuits and power systems by energy extracted from the 
        vacuum, from the very beginning.  It still does today. 
        
          
        
        In that respect, let 
        the dogmatists explain where the energy comes from in the Bohren 
        experiment, the method it arrives and turns into real EM energy, and 
        exactly why and how energy conservation is not violated even though 18 
        times as much energy is output as is input (by standard calculations) to 
        the material and system by the operator.  Either they explain such 
        proven and replicated physics experiments not taught in electrical 
        engineering, or they have are not practicing scientific method where the 
        validated and replicated experiment is king. 
         
        
          
        
        All the theory in the 
        universe cannot invalidate a single successful and replicable 
        experiment.  A single successful and replicable experiment can 
        invalidate any theory if it violates that theory's predictions.  That is 
        called the scientific method.  The present great cry to uphold the 
        accepted hoary old theories, regardless of experimental invalidation, is 
        totally unscientific and a great miscarriage of the scientific method. 
        
          
        
        Every charge and 
        dipole in the universe already completely answer all critics yelling 
        that COP>1.0 EM systems are impossible.  Every charge and dipole is 
        quite happy to be a COP = infinity system already, always has been, and 
        always will be.   The critics of course just sweep under the rug that 
        their own model implies that every charge and dipole is a foul perpetual 
        motion machine, freely creating energy out of nothing and continuously 
        pouring it out.  More on that later. 
        
          
        
        One of the broken 
        symmetries proven by Wu et al. and published  in 1957  is the broken 
        symmetry of opposite charges, as on the ends of a dipole.  For the 
        open-minded reader, let me explain what broken symmetry means, and what 
        the broken symmetry of a dipole means with respect to powering any 
        dipolar EM circuit. 
        
          
        
        Broken symmetry means 
        that something virtual (shadowy, but real in a special sense and widely 
        used in physics; it has real physical consequences, since it creates all 
        the forces of nature) has become observable (real in the ordinary 
        everyday sense that it can be detected, measured, observed, and used.).  
        The broken symmetry of the end charges of a dipole rigorously means 
        that, once the charges are forcibly separated to form that dipole, the 
        dipole (its end charges) continuously absorbs virtual (fleeting) photons 
        from the seething vacuum, coherently integrates these "photon pieces" 
        into real observable photons, and re-emits the resulting real EM energy 
        in the form of real observable photons in all directions at the speed of 
        light. 
        
          
        
        That is not this 
        author's work; that is particle physics as justified by the award of a 
        Nobel Prize.  It isn't even in the electrical engineering model, so no 
        objection based on standard classical EM and electrical engineering 
        concepts has any validity at all. 
        
          
        
        That's why a dipolar 
        permanent magnet, with opposite magnetic charges on its ends locked in 
        there by the material itself, continuously exhibits magnetic field in 
        the space surrounding it (out to the ends of the universe, if the magnet 
        has been around long enough).  There is a continuous and steady stream 
        of EM energy, extracted directly from the vacuum and integrated into 
        observable magnetic field energy, pouring forth from the dipolarity of 
        that magnet.  At any external point in that stream, the steady flow will 
        give a steady or "static" reading for the magnetic field and thus for 
        the intensity of the flow at that point.  Actually there is no such 
        thing as a "static" field or potential in the universe; simply check out 
        Whittaker's 1903 decomposition of the "electrostatic" scalar potential 
        into bidirectional longitudinal EM waves, and his 1904 decomposition of 
        any field and wave pattern into two such potentials comprised of 
        bidirectional longitudinal EM waves.  The 1903 paper founded what today 
        is known as superpotential theory.  The 1904 paper has been largely 
        ignored by the academics, although it has been formidably weaponized by 
        several nations, notably the Russians not long after WW II.  Application 
        of Whittaker's 1903 and 1904 papers is responsible for the weapons that 
        then Secretary of Defense Cohen referred to in 1997 when he stated: 
        
        
        "Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can 
        alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the 
        use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out 
        there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon 
        other nations…It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify 
        our efforts."  
        Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism 
        conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.  Quoted from DoD News 
        Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference 
        on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University 
        of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997. 
          
        A 
        technical explanation of the interferometry used in such weapons is 
        given by M.W. Evans et. al. (15 authors), "On Whittaker's Representation 
        of the Electromagnetic Entity in Vacuo, Part V: The Production of 
        Transverse Fields and Energy by Scalar Interferometry," 
        Journal of New Energy, 4(3), 
        Special Issue, Winter 1999, p. 76-78. 
          
        So there 
        are quite a few things in extended electrodynamics that the professional 
        dogmatists do not know, that are true nonetheless. 
        
         
        
          
        
        So making a dipole 
        results in the free extraction of usable EM energy from the vacuum, 
        continuously, by that dipole's broken symmetry.  So in terms of 45 year 
        old theory and knowledge instead of more than a century old stuff, let 
        us examine what really happens outside and inside a generator. 
         
        
          
        
        First, we burn some 
        hydrocarbon, say, to fire a boiler to make some steam to power a steam 
        turbine to rotate the shaft of the generator.  All the drilling and 
        transport of the fuel, its combustion, etc. is just to provide some 
        mechanical shaft input energy to that generator.  Now let's examine 
        exactly what happens inside the generator, once that shaft is forcibly 
        rotated. 
        
          
        
        We first point out 
        that the precise definition of work is the changing of form of energy.  
        Increasing potential energy alone does not require work; if we change 
        its form, then work is done upon the gadget or process that changes 
        (transduces) the form of the input energy. 
        
          
        
        So we do "work" on the 
        generator shaft to force the rotation of the rotor.  We change the form 
        of the mechanical input shaft energy to magnetic field energy inside the 
        generator.  Nothing magic so far.  In a perfect generator, we put in 
        1,000 joules of mechanical energy, and we transduce it into 1,000 joules 
        of internal magnetic field energy.
         
        
          
        
        So what happens to 
        that magnetic field energy?  None of it goes out on the attached power 
        line. 
        
          
        
        Instead, all the 
        transduced magnetic field energy is dissipated on the internal charges 
        in the generator, to force the internal positive charges in one 
        direction and the internal negative charges in the other direction, 
        thereby producing a source dipole inside the generator and between its 
        terminals.  Understand, we have to pay for making that dipole.  That 
        costs us. 
        
          
        
        However, what does the 
        dipole do, once it is made? 
        
          
        
        Unless the Nobel 
        Committee rescinds the Nobelist award to Lee and Yang, and unless the 
        particle physicists disprove and discard the well-established (for 
        nearly a half century) broken symmetry of opposite charges, that dipole 
        will then extract real, observable EM energy from the seething vacuum 
        indefinitely, so long as we leave it intact.  Don't destroy the dipole, 
        and it will freely and continuously pour out gobs and gobs of EM energy 
        in a steady stream, out of the terminals of the generator, filling all 
        space around the external circuit or power line.  How much EM energy 
        flow from the vacuum do you want?   You can have that much, easily. 
        
          
        
        And that is all a 
        generator does; it makes that dipole, which then furnishes the energy 
        outside the external power line, so that some of it can be intercepted 
        and diverged by that power line into its conductors, to power up 
        (potentialize)  the electrons with excess potential energy.  Just to 
        increase the potential energy is not work; it is for "free" under the 
        gauge freedom rule.  Every electrodynamicist in the world already freely 
        changes the potential energy of the modeled Maxwellian system twice, 
        when he applies the Lorentz gauge condition to the Maxwell-Heaviside 
        equations. (Actually that's Ludwig Lorenz's symmetrical regauging 
        condition; H. A. Lorentz adopted it later and the scientific community 
        shorted Lorenz, giving the credit to Lorentz.  Check out J. D. Jackson 
        and L. B. Okun, "Historical roots of gauge invariance," 
        Rev. Mod. Phys. 73, 2001, p. 
        663-680 to set the record straight.) 
        
          
        
        Once the flowing EM 
        energy --- freely extracted from the seething vacuum by the source 
        dipole --- is pouring out of the terminals of the generator and filling 
        space around the external circuit, then it's a "transmission and 
        reception" problem, and an "energy collection and usage problem", as is 
        well-known in Poynting energy flow theory in every major EM textbook. 
         
        
          
        
        Here another 
        interesting bit of history emerges. 
        
          
        
        Two scientists, 
        Heaviside and Poynting, independently discovered the flow of energy 
        through space, after Maxwell was already deceased.  Read the original 
        papers.  Poynting never considered the magnitude of the entire energy 
        flow pouring out of those terminals.  Instead, he only considered --- 
        from the very start -- that component of the available energy flow that 
        actually enters the circuit.  And he got the direction of the energy 
        flow wrong by 90 degrees, being corrected by Heaviside. 
        
          
        
        Heaviside considered 
        the entire energy flow in that surrounding space outside the conductors 
        of the attached external circuit.  To his astonishment, he found that 
        the remaining nondiverged energy flow component --- after the Poynting 
        component is intercepted, diverged, and enters the conductors to power 
        the circuit --- is many orders of magnitude greater than the small 
        Poynting component that was caught and used!  In short, Heaviside 
        discovered that, pouring out of the terminals of every battery and 
        generator, there is far more EM energy flow rate than the rate of input 
        of shaft energy to the generator or the rate of dissipation of chemical 
        energy in the battery.  Zounds!  In the 1880s, the electron and atom and 
        nucleus had not been discovered, there was no such thing as an "active 
        quantum mechanical vacuum" because there was no quantum mechanics.  
        There was no such thing as "local curvatures of spacetime" because 
        neither special nor general relativity had yet been born, and neither 
        had QM or quantum electrodynamics or quantum field theory.  In fact, 
        there was little resembling modern particle physics!  There also was no 
        broken symmetry of opposite charges known yet --- that was to wait till 
        1956-57. 
        
          
        
        So there was 
        absolutely no way Heaviside could possibly explain where all that fool 
        energy was coming from.  If he spoke or wrote too plainly about its 
        sheer magnitude, he would have been labeled an utter fool and a 
        perpetual motion nut (yes, there were dogmatists like Robert Park back 
        then also; the dogmatists have always dramatically slowed the progress 
        of physics and cost the taxpayers billions). 
        
          
        
        So Heaviside (e.g., in 
        his paper published in the Proc. Roy. Acad. Lond.) spoke obliquely of 
        the magnitude of the intercepted and nonintercepted energy flow 
        components by the direction of the flow component with respect to a 
        convenient reference direction.  This way he "kept his head on his 
        shoulders" so to speak. 
        
          
        
        Enter H. A. Lorentz.  
        He well-understood the work of both men, and understood that the 
        Heaviside nondiverged component was indeed there and real.  But even the 
        great Lorentz had not the foggiest notion of where on Earth all that 
        excess energy pouring out of a generator could possibly be coming from.  
        Even he would have been destroyed as a perpetual motion nut advocating 
        violation of energy conservation, by the cur dog pack attacks that would 
        have ensued if he strongly pointed out the magnitude of that excess 
        energy flow.  They would simply have devoured him and destroyed him 
        scientifically, as shown by many classic examples such as Mayer (modern 
        form of energy conservation), Wegener (continental plate drift theory), 
        etc.  A modern example was the terrible assault on the pioneers of 
        ultrawideband radar, such as Harmuth and Barrett.  At the time of this 
        feverish pack attack,  one could already buy a little working model UWB 
        radar, used to detect voids in thick cement. There are hundreds of other 
        examples well-known to historians of science. 
        
          
        
        Unable to solve this 
        horrendous problem, and to avoid personal scientific suicide, Lorentz 
        simply eliminated the problem itself!.  He reasoned that that vast 
        Heaviside energy flow "has no physical significance," since it powered 
        nothing and was just wasted.  He therefore integrated the entire energy 
        flow vector itself around a closed surface assumed surrounding every 
        volume element of interest.  This neat little trick arbitrarily discards 
        the giant Heaviside nondiverged EM energy flow, while retaining the 
        Poynting diverged (caught) energy flow. 
        
          
        
        Check Jackson and any 
        number of other leading electrodynamics texts.  Almost all use a 
        variation of Lorentz's statement that "it has no physical significance", 
        in disposing of the fact that "the Poynting energy flow is not really 
        the actual energy flow at a point in it, and it is indefinite".  E.g., 
        Jackson --- one of the ablest electrodynamicists whose books have 
        inspired millions, whom I greatly admire -- states it this way in his 
        Classical Electrodynamics, 
        second edition, 1975, 
        
        p. 237: 
        "...the Poynting vector is arbitrary 
        to the extent that the curl of any vector field can be added to it.  
        Such an added term can, however, have no physical consequences." 
          
        Our point 
        is that it can indeed have physical consequences if one does something 
        to increase the interception and collection.  As an example, by simply 
        setting the intercepting charges (in the intercepting circuit) into 
        particle resonance, each resonant particle will sweep out farther in its 
        geometrical reaction cross section, and will intercept and collect 
        addition energy.  See the Bohren experiment in 
        
        
        Am. J. Phys. 
        for this experiment; it produces 18 times as much energy out as the 
        energy in (where the calculation of energy in is the standard 
        calculation and ignores the present but unaccounted Heaviside 
        nondiverged energy flow component).  In the same journal and issue, Paul 
        and Fischer report replication and validation.  So the Bohren experiment 
        clearly proves the existence of the long-neglected and unaccounted 
        Heaviside excess energy flow component that is nondiverged and wasted in 
        the usual case. 
          
        Any 
        nonlinear optics lab in any university can easily do the Bohren 
        experiment at will, and prove it themselves.  In science one does not 
        have to continuously reprove that which is already proven; one just has 
        to cite the literature.  The Bohren experiment is given in Craig F. 
        Bohren, "How can a particle absorb more than the light incident on it?" 
        American Journal of Physics, 
        51(4), Apr. 1983, p. 323-327. Under nonlinear conditions, a particle can 
        absorb more energy than is in the light incident on it.  Metallic 
        particles at ultraviolet frequencies are one class of such particles and 
        insulating particles at infrared frequencies are another. See also H. 
        Paul and R. Fischer, {Comment on “How can a particle absorb more than 
        the light incident on it?’},” Am. J. 
        Phys., 51(4), Apr. 1983, p. 327.  The Bohren experiment is 
        repeatable and produces COP = 18. 
          
        Heaviside 
        was a hermit, and wound up most of his life in a tiny little garret 
        apartment.  After his death, thieves ransacked the little apartment.  
        But later, beneath some floorboards where the thieves had missed them, 
        there were found Heaviside's notes where he had gone back to his 
        long-neglected huge component (often 10exp13 times as great as the 
        intercepted Poynting component) and recognized that it also had 
        gravitational implications.  It is after all real EM energy, and so it 
        is a dramatic change to the local energy density of spacetime.  Hence it 
        is a curvature of spacetime, which is gravitational a priori. 
          
        So 
        Heaviside worked out some gravitational aspects of his long neglected 
        theory.   Remember, that theoretical component is actually proven 
        experimentally, e.g., by the Bohren experiment.  Any critic has to first 
        refute the Bohren experiment, and many others, before such criticism has 
        any validity.  This is already very solidly established, both 
        theoretically and experimentally.  That it is still not added to 
        electrical engineering is  a serious shortcoming of our electrical 
        engineering departments, not a shortcoming in physics. 
          
        In honor 
        of Heaviside, I resurrected his massive energy flow component --- which 
        can be shown to be accompanying every field/charge interaction --- and 
        nominated it for the long-neglected mechanism producing all that excess 
        gravitation that is holding the spiral arms of the galaxies together.  
        That's 90% of the gravitation in there, and I believe it is time that 
        Heaviside was given credit for his great discovery, so long suppressed 
        by just calculating it out of there with a little integration trick.  In 
        short, I think  Heaviside had already unknowingly solved the present 
        "dark matter, dark energy" problem for positive gravity, way back there 
        in the 1880s. 
          
        Another 
        way one can catch more of the long-neglected Heaviside energy flow 
        component surrounding every power line and electrical circuit, is simply 
        to retroreflect it end to end, back and forth, so that it passes back 
        across the circuit multiple times.  This is already occurring in intense 
        laser interactions in random media; one must simply read the literature. 
        (Lawandy, Mandel, Wiersma, Letokhov,
        
        Lagendijk, 
        Koenderink, Rivas, etc.)  The only thing preventing these impressive 
        results from achieving COP>1.0 is the use of operator input power to the 
        pumping operation.  Self-pumping and self-oscillation are well-known in 
        nonlinear optical materials; one is waiting for some enterprising young 
        doctoral candidate to do it for his doctoral thesis.  An interesting 
        paper to read is V. S. Letokhov, “Laser Maxwell’s Demon,” 
        Contemporary Physics, 36(4), 
        1995, p. 235-243.  Letokhov considers a Maxwell's demon based on the use 
        of selective interaction between laser light and atomic particles, 
        including two versions (destructive and nondestructive) of the demon.  
        The destructive version is based on the velocity- and particle-selective 
        resonant ionization of particles in the near field of laser radiation.  
        The non-destructive version is based on the dipole (gradient) light 
        pressure force in near-field radiation effects. In short, you really can 
        build a Maxwell's demon, in certain cases. 
          
        Oddly, 
        Maxwell's theory and Heaviside's vector truncation includes two kinds of 
        thermodynamic Maxwellian systems: (1) systems in equilibrium with an 
        active environment (or in an inert environment), and (2) systems far 
        from equilibrium in their energy exchange with an active environment.  
        The totally arbitrary Lorentz symmetrical regauging of the 
        Maxwell-Heaviside equations ---- just to give simpler equations whose 
        variables could be separated, thereby allowing analytical solution 
        rather than brute force numerical methods --- in fact discarded all 
        those class 2 Maxwellian systems. 
          
        It isn't 
        Maxwell's theory that forbids COP>1.0 EM systems!  It is in fact the 
        arbitrary symmetrizing and truncation of the theory that tossed out all 
        such systems. 
          
        By 
        incorporating the closed current loop circuit in all EM power systems, 
        our electrical engineers have only used circuits which self-enforce that 
        Lorenz/Lorentz symmetry condition!  That is so easy to show that we 
        leave it as the famous "exercise for the student".  Or just read any of 
        my several papers showing it. 
          
        In short, 
        our engineers have only designed, produced, and deployed electrical 
        power systems that destroy their own source dipoles in the generators, 
        faster than the caught energy in the external circuit can power the 
        load. 
          
        We have 
        this total myth that COP>1.0 EM systems are impossible, only because 
        they are impossible in any circuit which destroys all possibility in the 
        way it is designed! 
          
        There's 
        lots more.  From any EM field, say an E-field --- one can collect as 
        much force as one wishes, if one has enough intercepting and collecting 
        charges q.  That's the simple equation F = Eq. 
          
        From any 
        scalar potential V, one can collect as much energy in a circuit as one 
        wishes, if one has enough intercepting and collecting charges q.  That's 
        the simple equation W = Vq. 
          
        So here 
        is the proven situation in summary. 
          
        Batteries 
        and generators do not directly power their attached external circuits.  
        Never have, never will.  Windmills, dams, steam power plants, etc. do 
        not directly power their attached electrical power lines. 
          
        The 
        seething vacuum and the dipole's proven broken symmetry in it, has 
        powered every dipolar EM circuit ever built, and all those built today.  
        As we stated at the beginning, there is not a single electrical 
        engineering department that even correctly teaches what powers and EM 
        circuit.  Never has been one.  They simply have not changed the more 
        than a century old foundations of their model to include what has 
        already been discovered and proven in physics. 
          
        Now let 
        me answer the "perpetual motion" critics, most of whom are completely 
        unaware of the technical difference between efficiency of an EM system 
        and coefficient of performance (COP) of that system.  There are 
        basically two ways that you can get energy input into an otherwise inert 
        system (one with no internal radioactive source, etc.).  (1) you can 
        input all the energy yourself, and (2) you can trick the active 
        environment to input some or all of the energy collected and dissipated 
        by the system in its external load. 
          
        The 
        efficiency of a system is the useful work out in that load, divided by 
        the total energy input to the system from all sources (the operator, or 
        the external environment, or both).  No system ever produces more than 
        100% efficiency!  Any real system has some losses, so the overall 
        efficiency is always less than 100%.  Simply Energy In = Energy lost in 
        the system processing + energy lost by dissipation from the load to do 
        useful work. 
          
        The 
        charge of perpetual motion only correctly applies if someone tries to 
        say that a system has an efficiency greater than 100%.  That is a total 
        non sequitur, and no serious overunity COP researcher is even suggesting 
        such.  So why do the total skeptics keep insisting that such is 
        claimed?  It isn't.  But it's a good disinformation tactic to fool the 
        unknowledgeable lay person into thinking that something useful is being 
        said by such totally misdirected charges. 
          
        However, 
        if you have the second case for energy input, you are tricking the 
        environment to put in some or all of the energy.  If you can get the 
        environment to input more energy than the system is losing in its 
        processing, then hey!  You can cleverly (under certain circumstances) 
        have the system run itself and power its load simultaneously.  Nothing 
        magic; here the environment is happily furnishing all the energy for the 
        losses and the dissipation in the load.  So the operator has to input 
        nothing at all, if he has made the system self-switching and stable.  
        That's loosely known as a "close-looped" or self-powering system.  A 
        windmill, sailboat, waterwheel, etc. are examples. 
          
        If you 
        still have to put in the switching energy and perhaps a little of the 
        other energy, then you still have an open system receiving excess energy 
        from its environment, but you do not have to furnish all the energy.  To 
        speak of this, this is where COP comes in.  COP may be defined as the 
        total useful work out of the system, divided by the energy that the 
        operator himself must input.  Notice it says nothing at all about 
        whether or not extra energy is input by the environment, or how much.  
        It just measures "what you yourself have to pay for". 
          
        A 
        windmill, e.g., has a poor efficiency (typically 35% or 40% for a pretty 
        good one) but it has a COP of infinity!  So does a waterwheel, and a 
        sailboat. 
          
        So when 
        one speaks of "overunity", one is speaking of COP>1.0 which is perfectly 
        permissible by the laws of  nature, physics, thermodynamics, and 
        conservation of energy law.  No one in his right mind is advocating 
        violation of any of those! 
          
        Now we 
        come back to the crazy situation in EM circuits and systems and 
        equations.  As stated, Lorenz and then Lorentz arbitrarily discarded all 
        those Maxwellian systems that are open systems far from equilibrium with 
        their external environment (in this case, the active QM vacuum and the 
        local curvatures of spacetime).  The result has been a horrible 
        emasculation of the EM theory, to ONLY cover and address that half of 
        permitted Maxwellian systems that either are in an inert environment or 
        in a net equilibrium in its exchange with an active environment.  Those 
        RETAINED Maxwell systems are precisely the ones that have to obey the 
        classical equilibrium thermodynamics with its infamous second law.  The 
        key feature of the EM systems built by our engineers for more than a 
        century, has been that closed-current loop circuit.  That beast forcibly 
        rams all spent electrons right back through the source dipole in the 
        generator, using exactly half the externally intercepted and collected 
        Poynting energy to destroy the dipole.   The other half of the collected 
        external circuit energy is dissipated in the internal losses of the 
        circuit and in the load.  So less than half gets dissipated to do useful 
        work. 
          
        Let us 
        reason together.  If you use half of something to destroy the source 
        dipole and its extraction of energy flow from the vacuum, and you use 
        less than half of that something to power the load, then that beast you 
        built is destroying the source of EM energy flow faster than it can 
        power its load.  Hold that thought. 
          
        Well, 
        even in a perfect generator, you will have to input just as much energy 
        to RESTORE that dipole, as the circuit dissipated on the dipole to 
        DESTROY it.  That follows directly from the simple field equations. 
          
        But this 
        means that, to keep the energy flowing out of the terminals so that the 
        external circuit can continue to catch some and power the load, you will 
        always have to input more shaft energy to the generator than the work 
        you get out in the load. 
          
        Voila!  
        Our engineers have ubiquitously designed and utilized a self-enforcing 
        COP<1.0 Maxwellian system.  Not because nature requires it, or physics 
        requires it, or thermodynamics requires it.  Because the stupidity with 
        which we have engineered all our electrical power systems self-enforces 
        it. 
          
        We pay 
        the electrical power company to have a continuous Sumo wrestling match 
        inside its own generators, and continuously LOSE. 
          
        That's 
        not the way to run an energy railroad, particularly since much better 
        knowledge about what powers an EM circuit has long been available if we 
        only apply in electrical engineering the proven facts of particle 
        physics; to wit, the broken symmetry of that source dipole. 
          
        I 
        challenge every skeptic to show an electrical engineering text or 
        curriculum outline where the broken symmetry of the source dipole in the 
        generator or battery is pointed out and addressed.  It isn't. 
          
        I 
        challenge every skeptic to show me anything from the National Academy of 
        Sciences, National Science Foundation, National Academy of Engineering, 
        great national laboratories, etc. where the broken symmetry of the 
        source dipole in the generator or battery is addressed. 
          
        There is 
        no electrical energy problem, and there never has been, and there never 
        will be.  The simplest thing in all the world is to  extract all the EM 
        energy one wishes, from the seething vacuum, anywhere in the universe, 
        anytime, for peanuts.  Just make a dipole or assemble the necessary 
        charge.  Read my paper on Giant Negentropy to see how the "isolated 
        charge" extracts EM energy from the vacuum and pours it out at light 
        speed in all directions in 3-space, using that same broken symmetry of 
        opposite charges.  An "isolated" charge is not such at all; it is 
        well-known to be surrounded by clustering virtual charges of opposite 
        sign (the well-known polarization of the vacuum).  So one takes a 
        differential piece of the "isolated" observable charge, and one of those 
        virtual charges of opposite sign while it exists.  That's a composite 
        dipole, and it exhibits the same broken symmetry for which Lee and Yang 
        received the Nobel Prize.  Hence an isolated charge is simply a giant 
        set of composite dipoles and broken symmetries of opposite sign. 
          
        That was 
        the explanation for the long-vexing source charge problem --- the 
        problem of how on earth a little charge can sit there and continuously 
        pour out real observable EM energy in all directions in 3-space, 
        establishing its fields and potentials and their energy across all space 
        --- without any input of real observable EM energy. That was called the 
        "most difficult problem" in quantal and classical electrodynamics (Sen).  
        Yet the basis for its solution had been in particle physics since 1957.  
        I did nothing spectacular or brilliant; I just applied what particle 
        physics had already proven and well knew. 
          
        Now take 
        the standard electrical engineering model.  It does not even include the 
        active vacuum environment, much less a broken symmetry in the exchange 
        of every charge in every circuit, with that active vacuum.  One does not 
        have to reprove that exchange and broken symmetry; it has long since 
        been proven and recognized in particle physics.  But it is not even 
        incorporated in electrical engineering and particularly in power 
        engineering. 
          
        Here's 
        just how stupid and asinine it is.  The standard electrical engineering 
        model already rigorously excludes every charge and dipole in the 
        universe, implying they are perpetual motion machines of the greatest 
        kind, freely creating EM energy out of nothing and pouring it out, and 
        doing it continuously.
         
          
        So the 
        dogmatists and extreme critics  need to take their own medicine.  They 
        themselves are already the greatest perpetual motion nuts on earth, 
        because of the model they uses.  That model "eats itself" if applied to 
        a charge and a dipole --- and to what powers an EM circuit. 
          
        Here's 
        the challenge.  Provide a standard electrical engineering model solution 
        to the long-vexing source charge problem, or shut their face and 
        recognize they themselves are the greatest advocates of perpetual motion 
        machines. 
          
        In our 
        wildest imagination, the legitimate COP>1.0 EM researchers have never 
        approached such total perpetual motion nonsense as is already implicitly 
        and totally advocated by the dogmatists. 
          
        One 
        either reads the literature and finds out what science has already 
        discovered and proven, or one is a dogmatist resisting already proven 
        scientific knowledge.  It appears we have far too few people who are 
        reading the literature. 
          
        Best 
        wishes,
