          Dear 
          Mickey, 
          
           
          We 
          continue to try to obtain funding to get on with finishing the last 
          year of Engineering Development for the MEG. And we are still hopeful 
          that we will eventually succeed. We have been very, very close on two 
          occasions, only to watch things fall apart at the last minute. We are 
          in other promising negotiations right now. 
          
           
          
          Inventors such as the five of us who invented the MEG did not make the 
          system that inventors and researchers have to work under. The only 
          thing of value that an inventor has is his intellectual property 
          rights, under our system. So we obtained the
           
          
           
          Unless 
          the inventor is a fool or backed by a large company, he cannot deal 
          with most of the conventional funding channels for research. Look at 
          it this way. In the
           
          
           
          One or 
          more of our major prestigious Department of Defense research groups 
          actually has an infamous habit of affixing a clause in one’s contract, 
          stating that the “government retains its march-in rights”. That silly 
          phrase means that a single bureaucrat can one day just write one 
          letter or directive, declaring that you are not “getting the device to 
          development and marketing quickly enough to meet the government’s 
          needs”, and so the government “exercises its march-in rights”. This 
          means it simply seizes the patent and rights, assigns them to one of 
          its “big favored contractors” to do it around you, and the nonplussed 
          inventor watches his invention get rapidly developed and marketed 
          right around him. Supposedly one can get some kind of “compensation” 
          for such, but usually that really means nothing at all unless you are 
          a big company and hire your lawyers by the year. 
          
           
          Several 
          other inventors also have legitimate COP>1.0 energy-from-the-vacuum 
          systems. But all of them have the same problem: Lack of the 
          substantial funds required to finish a laboratory demonstration 
          process and take it into a developed technology for mass production 
          and sales. And just about total exclusion from the normal research 
          funding channels, unless one is just anxious to give away all his hard 
          years of work, etc. 
          
           
          The 
          legitimate venture capital comes in mixed types. About half of the 
          venture capitalists are just looking to make a killing, and the wish 
          to just displace you and your development team, and just take over 
          your invention totally. In this case that is foredoomed to failure, 
          because they will assign it to electrical engineers, and not use the 
          necessary sophisticated team of Aharonov-Bohm specialists (both theory 
          and measurement), nonlinear oscillation control expert (Russian 
          system, not the U.S. system, is required), a modeling expert skilled 
          in modeling in a higher group symmetry electrodynamics -- such are 
          very rare, a theoretician skilled in higher group theory 
          electrodynamics, etc. 
          
           
          Most 
          venture capitalists just wish to find and acquire control of a system 
          already developed and ready for full production and quick marketing. 
          
           
          Even 
          the foundations who specialize in seeking out innovations, are also 
          insistent that the system must already be in full completed prototype 
          for formal production. 
          
           
          In 
          short, nobody wishes to fund the necessary final phase of Engineering 
          Development, but only the production engineering and production phase. 
          
           
          And if 
          the development is placed under electrical engineers, it is lost 
          anyway, because electrical engineering specifically prohibits such 
          COP>1.0 electrical power systems taking their excess energy from the 
          vacuum. The EE models excludes any active vacuum – and thus any energy 
          from the vacuum – from the getgo. So electrical engineers will likely 
          build a good COP<1.0 transformer, fully complying with ordinary 
          electrical engineering theory and modeling. They will not build a MEG, 
          which violates both electromagnetic theory and conventional EM 
          modeling. 
          
           
          There 
          is also a formidable array of powerful cartels which do not wish such 
          systems to be produced, and some of these cartels have been 
          suppressing such systems since Nikola Tesla (actually since 
          Stubblefield, even before Tesla). Some of these cartels are in 
          industry (particularly in the big nuclear reactor power plant 
          business), some in Science (some very powerful ones, as in the hot 
          fusion and big accelerators community), some  in the financial 
          community, etc. At about the third level down from the top in such 
          powerful organizations, that is the level at which the actions for the 
          organization are actually implemented. Call that “actual 
          implementation” level the “entourage level”. By the bell-shaped curve, 
          some 11 % or so of the entourage level leaders have no morals at all, 
          are totally greedy and grasping and self-serving, and would kill their 
          own grandmother to “get ahead” or gain personal control, influence, 
          and money. That 11% is playing the “big monkey game” (primate 
          dominance) with a vengeance. This faction of the entourage establishes 
          lateral relations with all sorts of other groups and outside groups, 
          even with mafias, etc. Murder and assassination thus become a tool 
          sometimes used, as are all sorts of character assassinations, “gamings”, 
          etc. You really have not lived until you experience what comes down on 
          you from these entourages that are “sour” and evil. It isn’t like it’s 
          advertised in the newspaper. All large and powerful organizations have 
          their entourages, and they also develop that 11% evil faction. And 
          that is where all the games and gaming occurs. It’s a total way of 
          life, involved and hidden in all large organizations of government, 
          religion, industry, science, and any large element of society. 
          
           
          
          Machiavelli is not dead, but very much alive and well, and functioning 
          on a massive scale, though quite well hidden. 
          
           
          
          Further, our scientific leadership – and here we directly refer to the 
          National Academy of Sciences, the National Science Foundation, etc. – 
          is also adamantly opposed to the very notion of COP>1.0 electrical 
          power systems, taking their excess energy from the vacuum. If our 
          scientific community really was devoted to science, and could rid 
          itself of that bad 11% of its entourages, all one would have to do is 
          point out the terrible flaws being propagated (now for more than a 
          century) in electrical engineering and classical Maxwell-Heaviside 
          electrodynamics, and there would be an immediate scientific move to 
          correct such terrible errors. There isn’t, and there won’t be. The 
          scientific entourages in cushy relations with “outside money”, 
          prestige, and influence and control from upholding the status quo, 
          will see that it doesn’t happen. 
          
           
          There 
          is also a professional “skeptical” scientific community, vicious but 
          extraordinarily naďve. The skeptical community is still not even aware 
          that the standard CEM/EE model assumes that every EM field, potential, 
          and joule of EM energy in the universe is and has been freely created 
          from nothing at all, by their associated source charges, in total 
          violation of the conservation of energy law. The real mission of the 
          entourages in the skeptical community is to serve the bad entourages 
          in the scientific community, by being attack dogs and attacking like a 
          pack of converted dogs gone wild. It is not about science at all, but 
          about the big monkey game. That is why for a hundred years they have 
          spouted the falsity that perpetual motion ( 
          
           
          We 
          bring that up because one of the major mechanisms used to suppress the 
          overunity EFTV system research effort is to vehemently proclaim that a 
          COP>1.0 EFTV electrical power system is a dirty old perpetual motion 
          machine, and that this means it would be a system violating the first 
          law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy) because it would 
          require a system doing continuous work without any energy input. It’s 
          a cosmic joke! Every charge in the universe already physically 
          demonstrates COP = infinity, and it continuously produces negative 
          entropy, totally falsifying the present emasculated 
          second half- law of 
          thermodynamics and requiring its revision. Yet it continuously obeys 
          the conservation of energy law, since it receives all that energy it 
          then outputs, but just receives it in virtual state form and converts 
          it. It actually is a steady state nonequilibrium system continuously 
          receiving energy and continuously doing “work” (changing the form of 
          its received energy, from the virtual state to the observable state).
           
          
           
          E.g., 
          start with an electrical power system in equilibrium – the state of 
          maximum entropy. To get it to do anything, it must be moved away 
          from equilibrium into a state of nonequilibrium (an “excited” state or 
          “potentialized” state, with additional potential energy), and that 
          movement represents a negative 
          entropy operation. If you put the extra energy in, in a 
          different form, it has to be converted to potentialize the system, and 
          so that will cost you some work for that conversion. But if the energy 
          is input from a free flow and in the same form, it will not cost you 
          any work at all for that excess energy that the system takes on. Mere 
          transfer of energy in the same form is not work; work is rigorously 
          the change of form of energy. So the present second law assumes that a 
          previous negative entropy operation has already occurred, to excite 
          the system and move it out of equilibrium, but it does not account for 
          it. Instead, it accounts for the 
          subsequent entropic decay 
          of that nonequilibrium system back to the equilibrium state, 
          increasing its entropy as it does so. Simply put, it only applies to 
          the “decay” of excited systems, never to their excitation process. And 
          even then, it only applies where no additional negative entropy 
          operation occurs to void or reverse the entropic decay. Hence it is 
          only a “half-law” at best. It was never a full law of nature. 
          
           
          The 
          question then is, can a system be freely “excited”, or must one “pay 
          for the excitation”? The resounding answer is that it can freely be 
          excited – the potential energy of any EM system can be freely changed 
          at will, and that is covered by the gauge freedom axiom of gauge field 
          theory. As a physical example, freeze the charges q in a system so 
          that dq/dt = 0. And then change the voltage, say by a hundredfold. 
          Voltage amplification alone is not work or power. And so by merely 
          increasing the voltage while suppressing the current, one has just 
          increased the potential energy collected in that system (on its pinned 
          charges q) by a factor of 100, without doing any work at all. That is 
          simple “asymmetrical regauging” – increasing a single potential of the 
          system so that its collected potential energy is freely increased at 
          no cost to the operator.  (In the real world, you will have to pay for 
          a little judicious switching energy, but nothing like the excess free 
          potential energy collected in that system). When the charges q are 
          then subsequently released in the now-potentialized system, that 
          system will discharge its excess potential energy under the present 
          second half-law, which covers just such decay situations only. So that 
          system will permissibly do free work for you, powering real loads. 
          Instead of that simple thing, we are all taught that 
          two potentials – both 
          A and phi – should be changed, and they should be changed just so that 
          the two new force fields that also freely occur are equal and 
          opposite. In short, we are taught to 
          arbitrarily uphold 
          Lorentz invariance of the descriptive equations and Lorentz symmetry 
          of the circuit, as if such were absolutely required by nature. 
          
           
          It 
          isn’t.
           
          
           
          It’s 
          required by dogma and arbitrary custom, and by rigorous suppression of 
          any deviation from the “party line”. 
          
           
          There 
          is even a part of the environmental community which, under the 
          commendable purpose of sustainability, nevertheless actually wishes to
          eliminate about 
          three-quarters of the living people on the planet. This is a very 
          powerful faction of the community, confusing what should be a good 
          purpose with a very detrimental implementation. It’s rather like the 
          solution Hitler advanced for solving the “Jewish Problem”. The 
          entourages of that part of the community are going to see that this 
          intention is maintained. And the last thing those entourages wish to 
          see, is the advent of self-powering fuel-free EFTV electrical power 
          systems. 
          
           
          Those 
          cartels that also reap vast sums of money from the present highly 
          centralized electrical power system’s way of doing business, and from 
          all the oil sales and pipelines and distribution lines and the big 
          power plants etc., possess long-standing entourages that are also 
          absolutely determined not to change, but to give you “more of the 
          same”. The last thing these entourages wish is the development of 
          decentralized electrical power systems that are fuel-free, 
          self-powering, taking their input energy directly from the local 
          vacuum. 
          
           
          
          Meanwhile, in the asymmetric terrorist war on the
           
          
           
          
          EM energy from the vacuum universally occurs and flows and is actually 
          absolutely free 
          . Every EM field and potential is already a set of such steady and 
          ongoing real EM energy flows, as shown by E.T. Whittaker in 1903 and 
          1904. Every EM circuit and system is already filled with gobs of 
          charges q, all pouring out real usable EM energy that the charges 
          directly extract from the local vacuum. The energy in every EM field 
          or potential is already a set of such Whittaker EM energy flows 
          extracted directly from the seething vacuum by their associated source 
          charges. Real EM energy in nature occurs in steady energy flows, not 
          in so many chunks like ears of corn piled in a corn crib. Collection 
          of the flowing energy on charges q, by the interaction of the ongoing 
          free energy flows (the fields and potentials) does produce “steady 
          states” of deviation in the flows. Those are called “energy 
          collection”.
           
          
           
          You 
          see, we do not have to discover 
          how to extract the useful  EM energy from the seething disordered 
          vacuum!  We only 
          have to recognize and teach that it is already ubiquitously done by 
          every charge!  And 
          then we must search out and change what we are doing wrong in our 
          circuits so that they cannot use some of the free energy to give us 
          some free work. The reason our scientists have never 
          discovered how the energy was being extracted from the vacuum by the 
          source charges, until we solved it circa 1999 and published it in 
          2000, was that this long-vexing  “source charge problem”, wasn’t 
          solvable by the old fellows, so they just scrubbed it out of all the 
          textbooks and ignored it. Even today, most electrical power 
          engineering students (and even many of the professors) have never even 
          heard of the source charge problem. 
          
           
          We do 
          not have to discover how to absorb the totally disordered virtual 
          (subquantal) fluctuation energy from the vacuum, then how to reorder 
          it (still virtual but ordered), how to then coherently integrate it to 
          quantum (observable) level, and then how to re-emit it as ordered real 
          EM energy (real photons), spreading at light speed in all directions.
          Every charge in the universe 
          already freely does that for us. We just have to 
          understand that they do it, and then we have to work out how to 
          properly “catch” and use energy from those free energy flows from 
          every source charge. Presently we have been taught to do it wrong. 
          
           
          The sad 
          part is that here we are, despoiling the planet and the biosphere, 
          worrying about providing energy by beating nature massively and in a 
          brute force manner, when nature has always provided us with such an 
          incredible amount of ongoing free EM energy flow that it boggles the 
          human mind. But the problem is that, long before scientists even knew 
          there was an active vacuum, or an electron, or a nucleus of an atom, 
          they produced and “froze” electrical power engineering theory. And 
          they did it in such a way as to produce only Lorentz-symmetrical 
          systems described by Lorentz-invariant mathematics.  After awhile, 
          they then simply proclaimed that mess as based on “irreducible laws of 
          nature”. At that point, it became dogma rather than science. 
          
           
          The 
          adherence to Lorentz symmetry and to Lorentz invariant equations makes 
          the mathematics and the systems simpler, and therefore much easier to 
          solve, but it also produces and describes only COP< 1.0 electrical 
          power systems taking their energy from the vacuum. And even then it 
          totally conceals and assumes away (1) the active vacuum, and (2) the 
          production of all that observable EM energy from virtual (subquantal) 
          energy. So it means that our electrical power engineers have been 
          taught a highly restrained electrodynamics, riddled with errors and 
          omissions, that guarantee the present horrendous mess, the terrible 
          destruction of the biosphere, etc. Ironically, the very first thing 
          one must do, to develop and work in and with legitimate COP>1.0 EFTV 
          systems, is to learn how to build EM systems that deliberately violate 
          Lorentz symmetry and whose descriptive equations therefore violate 
          Lorentz invariance. But to even mention such is almost to evoke a 
          tirade of scientific dogma and vehemence reminiscent of the dark ages. 
          Most mathematicians have so long worshiped symmetry as “beauty” that 
          such a suggestion is considered to be ugly and nightmarish beyond 
          human description. Yes, a small and determined group of physicists are 
          pushing to try to break through the “Lorentz invariance barrier”, but 
          they have a very hard row to hoe and they also take a real 
          professional beating (or undergo a lack of advancement, etc.). But 
          they are trying. 
          
           
          So the 
          experiences one encounters in trying to get legitimate funding for an 
          overunity EM power system development are very “interesting”, if one 
          uses the Chinese 
          definition of “interesting”. One day perhaps one should write a book 
          on the experiences one actually meets and the things that actually 
          happen. The problem is, no one would believe such a book if it were 
          written! 
          
           
          The 
          only way one can proceed in such an environment is to try to continue 
          within the prescribed intellectual property system, not promoting 
          stock sales etc., until finally such a proper financial arrangement 
          can be consummated. 
          
           
          So that 
          is what we are continuing to do. The five of us have invested a 
          substantial portion of our lives, and a great deal of our own personal 
          money, in just getting this far. This effort is the estate I do not 
          have. It’s the house that has not been paid for. It’s driving a 1990 
          automobile rather than a shiny new one (hey, I like my old 1990 Sedan 
          de Ville, bought it second hand, and wouldn’t trade it for a new car 
          anyway). It’s continuing after a heart attack and hypoxia, and the 
          deterioration of one’s aerobic system by the BW-modified mycoplasma 
          caught while stationed in
           
          
           
          Anyway, 
          that’s about all I can tell you. 
          We will continue. We 
          do not “hustle stock” onto a gullible public to cut into the savings 
          of hard working folks on what is still a risk venture. We have not 
          taken and will not knowingly take “laundered” money from nefarious 
          enterprises. Etc. We are trying to do it right up the middle. We’ve 
          freely explained  – on the net, in books, in papers, etc. – exactly 
          how the MEG gets its extra energy from the altered local 
          spacetime/vacuum. And how many other legitimate overunity EFTV systems 
          do it. We’ve cited the hard physics references that prove the 
          Aharonov-Bohm effect, and thus prove that such can indeed be done and 
          that such has been experimentally demonstrated innumerable times (some 
          20,000 papers in the hard physics literature, even though the AB 
          effect is not in electrical power engineering). 
          
           
          We 
          continue to point out that the COP> 1.0 Takahashi Magnetic Wankel 
          engine can be successfully replicated by any technical university’s 
          electrical engineering department. So far, not a single one has been 
          built, to our knowledge. We point out that the “negative resonance 
          absorption” from the medium, known and experimentally verified in 
          physics since 1967, has a thermodynamic COP = 18 in the IR and in the 
          UV, for optimized experiments.
           
          
           
          We 
          point out that electrical engineers do not at all calculate the 
          force-free EM field as it occurs in space, but only the point 
          intensity of the interaction of that “actual EM field in space” with 
          static charged matter. In short, they only calculate the 
          point intensity of 
          the effect 
          in charged static matter of the ongoing interaction of the real 
          force-free field in space with that matter.
           
          
           
          We 
          point out that the present flawed form of the Second Law of 
          thermodynamics is an oxymoron implicitly assuming its own 
          contradiction first has occurred, but has not been and is not 
          accounted. Along with many others, we have pointed out that the Second 
          Law already has quite a few known and accepted violations. Any 
          equilibrium system merely moving out of equilibrium lowers its 
          entropy, in violation of the second law. And every statistical 
          fluctuation in a many-particle system violates the second law while 
          the excursion is occurring. As do sharp gradients, memory of 
          materials, etc. Those are all 
          known and recognized violations, accepted by the leading 
          thermodynamicists themselves. The new Second Law we 
          advanced gathers all of those in, and now includes all those areas in 
          its prescription. It includes systems that generate continuous 
          negative entropy (every charge in the universe does it), which thus 
          totally falsify the present hoary old form of the second “half-law”. 
          The new second law includes such continuous negative entropy systems. 
          Evans and Rondoni theoretically demonstrated that such systems are 
          indeed permitted by thermodynamics, but despaired of any real system 
          doing so. To the contrary, we proposed the first physical system that 
          does it and that can easily be experimentally shown to do it: the 
          common charged particle. But to see that, one had to first solve the 
          long-vexing source charge problem itself. And one had to thus extend 
          the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) to include 
          conservation between virtual state and observable state. 
          
           
          So we 
          will continue. In the world climate and the events now rushing toward 
          us, there is shortly going to arrive a time when the economy is 
          collapsing around us and all the legitimate free energy inventors will 
          be avidly sought, in a desperate attempt to develop EFTV overunity 
          electrical power systems and prevent or soften the total economic 
          collapse of the Western world. It would be far better if that effort 
          were started right now, with all possible speed – but meanwhile one 
          does what one can. 
          
           
          Let us 
          hope that the scientific positions and the cartels “soften” very soon. 
          And we are not just speaking of the MEG and this group of five 
          inventors, but of all the other overunity inventors struggling with 
          their systems, within the same hostile environment, with a lack of 
          legitimate funding and usually the lack of the sophisticated 
          scientific team that should be working the problem. 
          
           
          For 
          comic relief, one realizes that the Creator must have a great sense of 
          humor, for the job definitely requires it. Here the creation has 
          provided us with available, free, unlimited electrical energy flowing 
          freely from every charge in the universe. Everywhere. In every EM 
          system ever built or that ever will be built. And in the midst of such 
          incredible riches of available energy for the taking, our scientists 
          have botched it for more than a century, despoiling the planet and 
          savagely fighting and tearing nature itself, ripping out and consuming 
          vast quantities of hydrocarbons, nuclear fuel rods, etc., killing of 
          species and poisoning the biosphere, and all the while proclaiming how 
          advanced our science is and that we can do no better in our efforts to 
          keep up with the rapidly escalating demands for energy and 
          transportation.
