        Dear Mr. S******** 
      
        
        I'm very pleased at your 
        response, interest, and open-mindedness; of course the proper scientific 
        attitude is to be skeptical but also open-minded and reasonable.  That 
        is the attitude you've taken, and it is very much appreciated. One does 
        not squander taxpayer funds on chasing butterflies, if one is a 
        responsible government official!  That fact is also appreciated. 
      
        
        I'll give you a small 
        technical summary and background, and then pass this to our CEO, Dr. Lee 
        Kenny for further response, since Dr. Kenny handles all matters on the 
        MEG.  He will need your contact particulars, so he can contact you or 
        your office directly. 
      
        
        
        ------------------------------------------- 
      
        
        The fundamental problems are 
        (1) the deep-ingrained scientific mindset that COP>1.0 for electrical 
        power systems taking their energy from the vacuum is impossible and 
        against thermodynamics and the laws of nature.  It is not.  There simply 
        has to be a mechanism for the extraction of energy from the active 
        vacuum environment, and the energy must be converted to usable EM form.  
        In short, one has to build a sort of electrical windmill, and trick the 
        vacuum into providing a usable free energy "wind".  Since all EM energy 
        flow comes from the vacuum via the source charges producing the fields 
        and potentials and their energy, then that is doable a priori.  All the 
        EM energy in any electrical circuit comes from the charges in the 
        circuit, not from cranking the shaft of the generator. Even EE basically 
        agrees with that, though very reluctantly because they have no solution 
        to the horrendous problem of how the charge extracts and converts the 
        energy from its seething interaction with the quantum mechanical 
        vacuum.  Yet that mechanism has been completely established in physics 
        since 1957. 
      
        
        In modern QFT, the charge 
        polarized the vacuum, and so the bare charge in the middle (infinite, by 
        the way) is surrounded by a clustering charge of opposite sign, made of 
        virtual charges (also an infinite charge).  The difference is finite, 
        and that is what the observer sees of the "bare charge" in the middle, 
        through the intervening shielding screening charge. 
      
        
        The charge ensemble is thus 
        a very special dipolarity of opposite charges. As such, a priori it must 
        exhibit the opposite charges asymmetry in its vacuum flux exchange. 
        Briefly, the charge ensemble continuously absorbs virtual photons, 
        coherently integrating the energy (as mass-energy virtual excitation) to 
        observable size, then re-emitting the energy as real, observable photons 
        emitted steadily in all directions. One does not have to reprove the 
        charge polarization of the vacuum or the asymmetry of opposite charges; 
        those are well-established in particle physics, but do not exist in EE 
        theory. 
      
        
        Any nonequilibrium steady 
        state (NESS) thermodynamic system is permitted to do five magic things: 
        (1) reordering, (2) self-oscillation or self-rotation, (3) output more 
        energy (or useful work) than is input by the operator (the active 
        environment inputs the rest; the efficiency of such a system is still 
        less than 100%, for any real system such as a windmill or solar cell), 
        (4) "power itself and its load" (common way of saying that the 
        environment inputs all the energy, and the operator does not have to 
        input any), and (5) exhibit negentropy.  There is a fairly 
        well-developed thermodynamics of such far from equilibrium systems, as 
        you must be aware.  Prigogine, recently deceased, received the Nobel 
        Prize in 1977 for his contributions to such systems. 
      
        
        It's just that there's a 
        long-standing knee-jerk scientific mindset against ELECTRICAL POWER 
        systems being able to do that.  (The fundamental electrical power system 
        is of course the source charge, but CEM and EE do not even model a 
        solution for it). Electrical systems are permitted to exhibit COP>1.0, 
        and even COP = infinity, as witnessed by the common solar cell, which 
        may have an efficiency (output energy divided by TOTAL input energy) of 
        a nominal 17%, but its COP (output energy divided by OPERATOR's INPUT 
        ENERGY ONLY) is infinity, because the operator input is zero. 
      
        
        On the other hand, the 
        active environment inputting that energy to the solar cell is familiar 
        and observable.  The latter word is the key: OBSERVABLE is FAMILIAR and 
        ACCEPTABLE.  (VIRTUAL energy as useful energy of course is deemed dirty 
        and unacceptable, even though every charge in the universe already 
        falsifies that assumption that it cannot happen). 
      
        
        All energy in the vacuum is 
        obviously in virtual (nonobservable) form. But it is real; in quantum 
        field theory the exchange of virtual particles is modeled to generate 
        all forces, including all EM forces (and therefore force fields). 
      
        
        And here's the gist of the 
        problem.  The hoary old electrical engineering and classical EM model 
        used to design and build electrical power systems is seriously flawed, 
        and that fact is well-known to foundations physicists such as Wheeler, 
        Feynman, etc.  For one thing, no force field exists in mass free space, 
        a priori, since mass is a component of force by F = d/dt(mv) if we make 
        the "=" sign an "identity" sign. 
      
        
        The electric and magnetic 
        fields are NOT defined in mass-free space at all!  They are defined only 
        as "what is diverged from that active entity in the vacuum", by an 
        assumed unit point STATIC charge implicitly assumed at each and every 
        point.  At best, no university in Canada has ever calculated "the 
        E-field"; it has only calculated the "point intensity" of that active 
        entity in the vacuum, as determined by a unit point STATIC charge. 
      
        
        If, e.g., one has a 
        "intercepting charge" that is goes into particle resonance at the 
        frequency of the input energy fed to it, the resonating charge violates 
        the textbook definition of the "field intensity".  It sweeps out a 
        greater reaction cross section in that "vacuum entity in mass-free 
        space", and as a consequence it exhibits an output of energy (diverged 
        from that active vacuum entity) that is greater than 1.0 times the input 
        Poynting energy. 
      
        
        That is a well-known nonlinear optics phenomenon called 
        "negative resonance absorption of the medium",  and it has been known 
        for some decades. E.g., please have your physicist check this reference: 
        Craig F. Bohren, "How can a particle absorb more than the light incident 
        on it?" Am. J. Phys., 51(4), Apr. 1983, p. 323-327.  Under nonlinear 
        conditions, a particle can absorb more energy than is in the light 
        incident on it (Poynting calculation assumed; there is much more input 
        energy available with the Heaviside calculation that Lorentz taught 
        everyone to arbitrarily discard). Metallic particles at UV frequencies 
        are one class of such particles, and insulating particles at IR 
        frequencies are another.  See also in the same issue the confirmation by 
        H. Paul and R. Fischer, p. 327. The Bohren experiment is repeatable and 
        produces COP = 18, by extracting excess energy directly from the active 
        vacuum. 
      
        
        I would be very surprised if 
        you know a single electrical power engineer who is even aware of that 
        experiment and its consequences. 
      
        
        We either believe the 
        experiment and change the conflicting theory, or we do not practice 
        scientific method at all. 
      
        
        And all it takes to prove 
        that not all crows are black, is to exhibit one single good white crow. 
        Negative resonance absorption of the medium (NRAM), known since the 
        1960s, is accomplished routinely in nonlinear optics departments every 
        year, so there are lots of "white crows" already clearly establishing 
        that energy from the vacuum can be extracted. 
      
        
        In your position, you can 
        simply order an investigation performed of that area.  Please do so. 
        E.g., the IR region is HEAT.   
      And all our combustion of hydrocarbons and use of nuclear fuel rods at large power plants is merely to produce the heat necessary to boil the water and make steam to run the steam turbine to crank the shaft of the generator. 
        
        It would appear that the 
        NRAM process should long ago have been developed to give a big heater 
        with, say, COP = 9.0 or so, for heating those boilers in those power 
        plants.  Such would reduce the hydrocarbons consumed for that purpose by 
        a factor of 9, e.g..  And it would give one a real option to those pesky 
        nuclear powerplants with their long term wastes problems. 
      
        
        But merely check our own 
        National Academy of Sciences and National Science Foundation.  There 
        also is no really "out of the box" thinking in energy going on there 
        either.  And there isn't going to be. 
      
        
        Now to the electrical 
        engineering's classical EM model: 
      
        
        It only analyzes 1/3 of the 
        system, judged by modern physics.  It erroneously assumes the vacuum to 
        be inert (falsified for 80 years), and assumes a flat spacetime 
        (falsified for every change of potential and energy density, by general 
        relativity for approaching a century).  Well, the two IGNORED inactive 
        media --- the local curvatures of spacetime and their dynamics, and the 
        local active vacuum and its interactions -- comprise the active 
        "environment" of any vacuum-power extracting system. If one's model 
        already ASSUMES the environment is inactive, then building an EM power 
        system is like building a windmill closed against any wind.  One will 
        obviously have to "crank the beastly generator" around oneself. 
      
        
        Further, the EE model 
        assumes E and H force fields in mass free space, which is totally false.  
        Simple take the definition of  "force developed on one unit point static 
        charge" and remove that part "on one unit point static charge" and 
        substitute "in the absence of all static charge".  The "definition" 
        simply destroys itself.  But sadly, in electrical engineering we quit 
        thinking basics some hundred years or more ago. 
      
        
        The reason, of course, is 
        that the original formation of the classical model ASSUMED the material 
        ether filling all space.  There was not (in the scientists' minds) a 
        single point in all the universe where observable mass was absent.  So 
        the equations all assume that material ether.  When that "luminiferous 
        ether" was destroyed by the Michelson-Morley experiments, nary an 
        equation in the Maxwell-Heaviside equations (as regauged symmetrically 
        by Lorentz in the 1890s, throwing out all COP>1.0 EM systems receiving 
        vacuum energy) was ever changed.  Instead, one day they just sorta said, 
        "Well, there is no material ether so we are not using one!  Not an 
        equation was changed, so THE EQUATIONS CONTINUE TO ASSUME THAT MATERIAL 
        ETHER, WITH OBSERVABLE MATTER AT EVERY POINT IN THE UNIVERSE. 
      
        
        Further, there is a 
        horrendous problem with the classical EM (EE) model that negates the 
        entire model on energy conservation grounds.  The model assumes that all 
        EM fields and potentials and their energy, come from their associated 
        source charges. Those fields are assumed made of photons, and photons in 
        space are moving at light speed (else we have destroyed much of modern 
        physics).  So in short, every charge is pouring out real, observable 
        photons continuously producing and replenishing its associated EM fields 
        and potentials, spreading at light speed across the universe from the 
        time of formation of the charge. 
      
        
        Yet the model ASSUMES there 
        is no input energy to the charge, because it assumes an inert vacuum and 
        a flat spacetime -- an inert external environment. 
      
        
        Hence the model assumes that 
        every EM field, EM potential, and every joule of EM energy is and has 
        been created freely from nothing at all, by the associated source 
        charges. 
      
        
        We either have to change the 
        old EE and CEM model, or we have to give up the conservation of energy 
        law entirely, since then it is falsified by every charge in the 
        universe. 
      
        
        The greatest "perpetual 
        motion machines doing perpetual work with no energy input" advocates in 
        human history are in fact our classical electrodynamicists, electrical 
        engineers, their professors, and their textbooks. 
      
        
        Yet the solution to the 
        source charge problem  has been in particle physics since 1957, with the 
        award of the Nobel Prize to Lee and Yang for predicting broken 
        symmetry.  In the nearly half century since then, that huge revolution 
        in physics has not migrated across the university campus from the 
        physics department to the EE department, and gotten them to change their 
        terribly deficient model. 
      
        
        Sadly, if the powers that be 
        would simply fund some sharp young grad students on their doctoral 
        programs, and some young post docs on their post doctoral work, and let 
        them tear into this area, then in three years or less there would never 
        again be an energy crisis anywhere on earth. 
      
        
        The problem is very simple: 
        The "static" fields are really continuous flows of real photons and real 
        EM energy, from their source charges and dipolarities, with the charges 
        acting as NESS systems, in disequilibrium with their active vacuum 
        exchange. The basis for this already exists in physics, and is easily 
        put together by any graduate student. 
      
        
        The only energy problem is 
        in how to extract some of the steadily flowing photon energy from the 
        "static" fields being continuously replenished, and do it without 
        destroying the source dipolarity in the extracting system, as all EEs 
        are taught to do by use of the ubiquitous closed current loop circuit. 
        That diabolical circuit self-enforces Lorentz symmetrical regauging, and 
        forces all present electrical power systems to be COP<1.0. 
      
        
        Anyway, that gives you a 
        sort of quick summary of the real problem.  It is compounded by that 
        small element of the scientific community that will defend the status 
        quo to the death.  That is why we don't have grad students and post docs 
        even allowed to work the problem, except with "standard stuff". 
      
        
        So we have a situation where 
        (1) the fundamental electrical power system theoretical model is 
        terribly, terribly flawed, even though the necessary corrections are 
        known, and (2) we have solid experiments (such as a source charge 
        experiment and the Bohren experiment) long known, that clearly 
        establish COP>1.0 EM systems using the vacuum/curved spacetime active 
        environment can and do output excess usable electrical energy. 
      
        
        And we have also the 
        situation where the entire scientific and engineering apparatus is 
        resoundingly against the slightest mention of such things, and will 
        resounding suppress any scientist or student who attempts to pursue 
        them. 
      
        
        In the energy crisis, 
        the orthodox scientific community will not only fiddle while Rome burns, 
        but they will also help burn it. 
      
        
        As to our own MEG 
        (Motionless Electromagnetic Generator). 
      
        
        It is simply understood, 
        if one understands the Aharonov-Bohm effect, proven now since 1959 in 
        thousands of experiments and papers in physics, but not existing in 
        electrical power engineering. 
      
        
        Simply put, by deliberately 
        localizing the B-field from an input source in a local area (in our 
        case, in the core of a special nanocrystalline magnetic transformer 
        section core), nature is already known to provide an EXTRA energy 
        reservoir, in the form of a curl-free A-potential in space outside 
        the localization zone. One does not have to "reprove" that; one simply 
        has to read some of the thousands of papers and experiments already in 
        the literature.  Anyone -- engineer or professor -- not understanding 
        that fact already, and familiar with the AB effect (and its 
        generalization to the Berry phase, then further generalization to 
        geometric phase by Aharonov and Anandan) is not worth our time and 
        trouble to mess with.  We DO NOT build a "normal transformer" that has 
        only a single input energy reservoir (the energy the operator inputs and 
        pays for).  In the MEG, we have that standard energy reservoir, and we 
        also have a FREE second energy reservoir in the space outside the core, 
        consisting of that extra uncurled A-potential ( done by the AB effect's 
        self-regauging, and regauging is free by the gauge freedom axiom of 
        quantum field theory; again, something we do not have to "reprove" since 
        every electrodynamicist accepts and uses gauge freedom). 
      
        
        Now it becomes very 
        interesting.  We have just violated the model that applies to every 
        conventional EM transformer, generator, and power supply.  All 
        conventional generators have a single input energy reservoir.  Usually 
        the operator pays for that energy input; if he tricks the environment to 
        inputting it, then he uses something like a windmill-driven generator, a 
        hydro-electric generator driven by its hydraulic turbine, or the solar 
        cell generator driven by its sunlight input. 
      
        
        In our case, we  have 
        deliberately used a special material and the AB effect, to trick nature 
        into providing that second energy reservoir in unusual but usable form. 
        So now the MEG is analogous to a common heat pump (which also uses two 
        energy reservoirs, one input and paid for by the operator, and the other 
        input by the environment.  As is well-known, the heat pump has an 
        efficiency 50% or less, but a common home heat pump also has a COP = 3.0 
        to 4.0.  It requires a 2-reservoir system to get to such capability, and 
        the second reservoir must be "for free" (with the operator only 
        furnishing a bit of energy to compress it for more efficient heat 
        removal). 
      
        
        Thus our "heat pump" problem 
        is to convert the uncurled A-potential energy into usable EM energy, and 
        then to collect and receive some of that free excess "environment" 
        energy from that second energy reservoir. In our case, simply perturbing 
        the input signal sharply also perturbs the external uncurled 
        A-potential, producing E-field energy by e.g. E = - dA/dt.  
        Note that by adjusting how sharply we perturb the input signal to the 
        first reservoir, we determine the magnitude of those produced E-fields 
        in the space outside the core. 
      
        
        In that way, we have large 
        and "free" E-fields in space to interact with and take energy from, as 
        well as having all the normal B-flux confined to the core (the normal 
        transformer action).  Viewed this way as a two-energy-reservoir system 
        where one of the energy reservoirs is for free or nearly so, we can 
        optimize the E-field energy interacting back on the output coils, in 
        addition to the input B-field  energy in the core. So our output coil is 
        used both as an INPUT coil for the environmental energy, and also as an 
        output coil for the normal energy input.  The result is that the output 
        coil receives energy from both reservoirs, with the second input (from 
        the perturbed A-potential) being greater than the B-field flux energy 
        input in the core. 
      
        
        So just like a heat pump, we 
        can permissibly receive MORE energy in the output coil than we ourselves 
        pay for on the input, and therefore the unit can output MORE energy than 
        the operator himself pays for inputting.  It DOES NOT output more energy 
        than the TOTAL energy input!  It is just like a heatpump: Its overall 
        efficiency is less than 100%, but its COP is permissibly greater than 
        unity.  It also is perfectly in accord with EM theory when REGAUGING is 
        also accounted, and it is consistent with physics and thermodynamics. 
      
        
        There are, of course, a few 
        eccentricities, just as with any new highly nonlinear system.  One has 
        to take care to get the various inputs synchronized, so they are 
        additive rather than subtractive, or one will build a WORSE transformer 
        than a normal single energy reservoir transformer.  One also has to use 
        higher group symmetry EM to even model it; the classical EM theory and 
        electrical engineering CANNOT model it at all.  One has nonlinear 
        oscillations, so nonlinear oscillation theory is required, NOT ordinary 
        linear oscillation theory and LC resonance.  Further, one must control 
        the oscillations, and that requires nonlinear oscillation theory, NOT 
        the standard linear control used by EEs.  Finally, chaotic oscillations 
        can also arise, so one must deal with control of chaotic oscillations. 
      
        
        As described, the MEG is not 
        a simple device at all!  The reason we don't already have it on the 
        market is simple: We have a successful little series of bench experiment 
        devices, that prove the principle. We do NOT have a scaled-up 
        multi-kilowatt device ready to power homes and offices, and we are a 
        full year of very hard work with a specialized nonlinear team to get to 
        that point.  When one prices the instrumentations needed, the 
        specialists needed, the lab setup needed, etc., one has a 9 million 
        dollar project for that year, to the first prototype production power 
        unit. 
      
        
        All five of the inventors 
        are aerospace engineers very familiar with nonlinear research programs 
        in aerospace, as in ballistic missile defense, re-entry problems, 
        nonlinear command and control problems, etc.  The problem is certainly a 
        "doable", but it is not quick, it is not cheap, and it is not easy. 
      
        
        Note that we do not sell 
        stock to an exploitable public, because we still regard this project as 
        a risk venture until we get to the pre-production stage, with the 
        nonlinearities completely managed, math models completed and fitted to a 
        large number of phenomenology experiments, and an experienced team ready 
        to get full tilt into prototyping real systems of various sizes. 
      
        
        So we are seeking and have 
        sought a single large risk venture partner, to get on with the necessary 
        research effort to move this from interesting lab experiments to 
        ready-prototyped real power systems.

        With that explanation, I 
        must now pass you to Dr. Lee Kenny, who is CEO of our little company, 
        Magnetic Energy Ltd. and is responsible for all matters and contacts 
        concerning the MEG.  Dr. Kenny travels frequently, but he will be in 
        touch with you directly.    
      
        
        We will need your necessary 
        contact particulars for him to contact you personally. 
      
        
        We very much appreciate your 
        interest. 
      
        
        Best wishes,

          Hi Marcia, 
        The presentation implies that lab tests have been successfully conducted and widely replicated. If so, the technology should be pursued with the considerable discretionary resources available to most governments, including ours. 
          
          I've been in the energy business for 
          30 years, never heard of your organization or Mr. Beardon.  I am aware 
          of the quantum arguments and Tesla's ideas (and many others, such as 
          Mr. Randall Mills' hydrogen model).  In principle, I'm sold on on your 
          somewhat Hawkingesque approach. 
        
          
          I guess what I'm asking for is a more 
          compelling argument that you are on to something.  We have to decide 
          on the disposition of several billion dollars in the near term, 
          perhaps your technology might fit in somewhere. 
        
          
          Thanks, 
        
          
          XXXXXXXXX
