          Dear James, 
        
          
          Yes, the trimmer does make 
          the transformer more efficient. Not really sure they understand 
          exactly why. 
        
          
          I've posted some things 
          since September, including a couple papers or so, and have another one 
          waiting. My personal situation now is that I take care of my wife 24/7 
          since her stroke a few months ago, so my time has become very limited 
          indeed. I cannot stand too long, or walk very far, but can still drive 
          to the grocery store etc. But we are getting by okay, and I am very 
          blessed in that my wife did not suffer loss of ability to use her 
          limbs.  She is slowly but steadily recovering, but remains very weak. 
          She is the love of my life, and simply the best thing that ever 
          happened to me, so I will take care of her first and foremost, come 
          hell or high water. 
        
          
          Other than a little work 
          here and there, the MEG is just about where it was. We are still 
          working on the follow-on pattern, which is a very difficult one to 
          prepare in the way it has to be. But we are getting there, slowly. One 
          of the real problems is that there are not a great many 
          electrodynamicists who also are experimentalists involving the 
          geometric phase (which we apply in the form of the Aharonov-Bohm 
          effect in the MEG).  We still are seeking the financing we need, to do 
          a very difficult year of research before we can adequately model the 
          highly nonlinear responses, etc., have a fitted math model sufficient 
          to allow engineering design for scale-up and scale-down, etc. But we 
          continue to slowly increase our understanding of the unit. 
        
          
          We've also produced a 
          series of little "fact papers" on thermodynamics, overunity systems 
          principles, etc. Have fine-tuned them at least three times, and they 
          are coming along. 
        
          
          We've also posted 
          information on the Leyton geometry and Leyton's hierarchies of 
          symmetry. We believe that Leyton's epochal work will indeed provide 
          the next great breakthrough in physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and 
          electrical engineering. We've also nominated the source charge as a 
          physical nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) system, which produces 
          continuous negative entropy in accord with the startling theoretical 
          demonstration shown by Evans and Rondoni, in which case it is the 
          first ever such physical system (if it does get recognized as such). 
          If that work holds up, it also totally falsifies the present second 
          law of thermodynamics, which may be stated as S is greater than or 
          equal to 0.  Instead, it requires revision of the second law to the 
          form that minus infinity is less than or equal to S less than or equal 
          to positive infinity. Hopefully the work will hold up; we will see. 
          These kinds of things do not happen rapidly, however. After the 
          discovery and proof of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, e.g., it required 
          physicists some 25 years to finally accept it. Sometimes it requires 
          50 years before something "much against the grain" is accepted, even 
          if it is true and experimentally proven. 
        
          
          Have also made some inputs 
          to another very important program that cannot be discussed because of 
          a very rigorous nondisclosure agreement. 
        
          
          So we stay as busy as we 
          are able to, and continue to get out what information we can, as we 
          can, thanks to some very gracious and hard working folks who make it 
          possible. 
        
          
           It's going to be a very 
          hard struggle to get overunity systems allowed to be worked on by the 
          sharp young grad students and post doctoral scientists, and funded by 
          the scientific community, but it will come eventually. One notes that 
          cheap oil has peaked, as far as its supply is concerned. When we moved 
          against the Taliban in Afghanistan, Putin opened Russia's oil spigots 
          for us, in a move to become our trusted cheap oil supplier so they 
          could pump much needed funds into their economy, and that has 
          actually kept oil from escalating rapidly. The Chinese demand for oil 
          and energy increases steadily and rapidly, and China has now surpassed 
          Japan in demand for energy and oil, and has become "user #2" 
          worldwide, second only to the U.S. That increasing Chinese demand for 
          oil presages an escalation of the price as time passes along. Just now 
          OPEC is allowing the OPEC supply to remain at pretty high level, but 
          is making noises that the next meeting will see them reducing the 
          supply, to escalate the prices further. 
        
          
          Meanwhile, U.S. power 
          companies have actually built an excess of generator capacity, but are 
          still very constrained by overtaxing an inadequate system of grid 
          transmission lines. And the so-called "power grid control system" is 
          an abomination, violating almost every major principle of the control 
          of multiple servo loop systems. Also, allowing speculation in the 
          marketing of electrical power, so that speculators in sheer greed 
          redirect much of the power that could be suddenly needed locally in a 
          bind, and usurp distribution lines in the process, is one of the 
          severe shortcomings of our distribution system (some one say, one of 
          its "stupidities"). The distribution system was never planned as a 
          "shuttling" system in that fashion, but primarily in local demand 
          modes. The speculative "shuttling" now easily overtaxes the 
          distribution lines. And when an emergency arises, the "communication" 
          to the outfit needing to make the change may often be a "courtesy 
          phone call", if the outfit where the emergency has arisen remember to 
          make the call. So the grid distribution lines are fragile, easily 
          overloaded by speculators and "shuttling", leading much too readily to 
          surges and variations that escape control and require emergency 
          shutdown of powerplants, refineries, etc. 
        
          
          The big projects now 
          settled on by Department of Energy are back to pushing Big Nuclear and 
          Hot Fusion projects. So far as I'm aware, there is not a seriously 
          funded, serious task anywhere in the National Science Foundation, 
          National Academy of Sciences, Department of Energy, the Universities, 
          the National Laboratories, etc. that is directed at obtaining energy 
          from the vacuum and COP>1.0 electrical power systems. Indeed, I can 
          find nothing at all in the power engineering field at any of those 
          agencies, where the discovery of broken symmetry is applied in 
          electrical power systems, or where the designers and engineers even 
          recognize that all the EM energy in an electrical circuit comes from 
          the local vacuum into the local circuit via the charges in that local 
          circuit. And not from cranking the shaft of the generator, etc. 
          Electrical engineering still assumes a flat local spacetime (falsified 
          for any and all energy changes, by general relativity, since 1916) and 
          an inert vacuum (falsified for at least seven decades in particle 
          physics. Nowhere in electrical power engineering does it appear to be 
          taught that modern physics recognizes the charge as consisting of a 
          dipolarity, with an infinite bare charge in the middle, and surrounded 
          by an infinite charge of virtual particle (charges) of opposite sign, 
          bubbling away at a furious rate. Or that the asymmetry of opposite 
          charges thus applies rigorously to this dipolarity, which explains why 
          the "source charge as a strange ensemble" extracts virtual energy from 
          the vacuum, coherently integrates it into observable energy, and 
          continuously pours out real observable photons in all directions. That 
          continuous outpouring of real energy establishes and continuously 
          maintains the associated EM fields and potentials and their energy. 
        
          
          Instead, the classical 
          Maxwell-Heaviside electrodynamics model and electrical engineering 
          implicitly assume that every EM field, EM potential, and every joule 
          of EM energy in the universe is and has been freely created from 
          nothing at all, by its associated source charges.  That assumption of 
          course is in total violation of the conservation of energy law. 
        
          
          This year we also 
          published the exact mechanism by which the charge is able to consume 
          positive entropy in the virtual state, transduce it into positive 
          energy and also coherently integrate it to observable size, and 
          re-emit real, observable photons. 
        
          
          Meanwhile, the energy 
          situation will have variations and ups and downs, but the overall 
          trend is that the worldwide demand is exceeding the supply of cheap 
          oil, and it will only get worse. Plus which, the reserves of natural 
          gas they were counting on for this winter are already evaporating much 
          faster than originally expected. So if we get much of a winter, the 
          price of natural gas (which is already rising) will start going 
          through the roof. 
        
          
          Anyway one cuts the energy 
          cake, the crisis is not abated, but it is coming on down the railroad 
          right at us. 
        
          
          When one does a formal 
          strategic analysis on a nation and its culture, one of the areas 
          utilized is called "National Style". A nation's National Style reveals 
          many of its characteristics, knee-jerk reactions, and idiosyncrasies 
          -- which can be and are exploited by the nation's enemies as 
          "vulnerabilities". One of our characteristics -- and a serious U.S. 
          vulnerability -- is that we usually do not react to slowly increasing 
          threats. We react to the rattler when he strikes at us or bites us, 
          but not the slowly squeezing boa constrictor. The energy crisis is 
          just such a boa constrictor, slowly tightening on us. 
        
          
          In the business of abating 
          the energy crisis, our own national style seems to be dictating that 
          we have to be bitten and bitten very hard, before we really take it 
          seriously. 
        
          
          Meanwhile, what Winston 
          Churchill called the "High Cabal" -- the loose knit odd-balled groups 
          who between them control much of the world's financial power -- are 
          very determined to keep things the way there are. The last thing they 
          wish to see is cheap clean energy from the vacuum, fuel-free. Science 
          is largely controlled and directed, by controlling its funding and 
          what the funding can be spent for. In our present science, if one 
          works on hot fusion, nuclear power plant theory and practice, fuel 
          cells, etc. one can and will have a good future if one applies 
          oneself diligently.  If one advocates that "silly" energy from the 
          vacuum, one will be labeled a nut and totally discredited (and 
          blacklisted or effectively so). The same folks so feverishly 
          discrediting the free energy research as a "perpetual motion nut" -- 
          themselves continue to advocate an electrical theory that already 
          accepts that all EM energy is freely created right from nothing at 
          all. You can draw your own conclusions. 
        
          
          So the way one has to 
          change science, is to reach the sharp young graduate students and post 
          doctoral scientists. Once they understand the principles, rigorously 
          check the references to see that the physics is actually there, and 
          check the thermodynamics to see that it is there, then gradually some 
          of them will start working the problem, probably largely on their own 
          time but some will succeed in getting a bit of funding. 
        
          
          Anytime the "system" will 
          actually provide a few million dollars of funding for doctoral theses 
          and post doctoral programs in "energy from the vacuum", then very 
          rapidly (in two to three years) there will no longer be an energy 
          crisis, and there never will be one again. 
         
        
          
          So it will happen, but -- 
          I'm afraid -- only after the rattlesnake bites us. So we are going to 
          have to have a real energy disaster strike us, before the system will 
          bend and get at what has to be done. 
        
          
          As an aside, the weather 
          engineering going on over our heads is particularly fierce this year. 
          Huntsville is a "turning point" used to turn the jet streams that have 
          been pulled way down south, so they turn and run parallel to the 
          eastern coastline. So we see a great deal of the weather engineering 
          here. Lately I've often seen three tiers of engineering at once, with 
          a huge twin giant radial cloud in the lower cloud layer, a single 
          giant radial of very large size in the middle layer, oriented at 
          almost right angles to the first one, and then high above all of it in 
          the top cloud layer a large network of interference pattern resembling 
          a "cross-ploughed field" or grid pattern. 
         
        
          
          What such fierce 
          engineering usually means is that they are going to give us a very bad 
          winter, and really hit the old heartland U.S. hard. 
        
          
          Anyway, good luck to you 
          in your own research, and please hang in there. 
        
          
          Best wishes, 
        
          
          Tom Bearden
