Zero Point Energy & Over Unity

Thx to 106 for the link: From RMCybernetics - Zero Point Energy (ZPE)
 ZPE is the energy that exists as particle-antiparticle pairs or scalar
waves, throughout the vacuum of space. It is often refereed to as
a 'foam' of sub-atomic particles popping in and out of existence. This
energy has a high entropy (disorder) which is what prevents it from
being made useful by conventional means. Accepted theoretical models
say that this random state of fluctuations can not be cohered (brought
together) due to the laws
of thermodynamics and the phenomenon of coherent states...
Gravitation and Cosmology
...One obvious difficulty with this association is that the zero-point energy of the vacuum is absurdly large. Naively, it is infinite, but one must argue that new physics takes over at the Planck scale, and so its growth is cut off at that point. Even so, what remains is so large that it would visibly bend space, and thus, there seems to be a contradiction. There is no easy way out, and reconciling the seemingly huge zero-point energy of space with the observed zero or small cosmological constant has become one of the important problems in theoretical physics, and has become a criterion by which to judge a candidate Theory of Everything...
Over Unity and Free Energy Devices
A standard transformer is about 96% efficient and therefore 4% under unity. this means that 4% of the energy passing through the transformer will be lost. Losses are unavoidable and are usually due to heating or vibrations.
The term Over Unity or Overunity, is often used to describe devices or systems which will produce more energy than is required to run them (free energy machines). Real over unity is simply not possible. It actually makes no sense "Over Unity" is equivalent to "More than the same" which is impossible. If a device were to output more electrical power on it outputs than was supplied to its inputs, it must have another power source. In the case of the so called 'Over unity' devices this extra energy on the output is said to come from the vacuum fluctuations (a.k.a. zero point energy).
v Info from Wikipedia v
The Casimir effect has established zero point energy as an uncontroversial and scientifically accepted phenomenon. However, due to lack of education of laymen in quantum mechanics, the term zero point energy has also become associated with a highly controversial area of human endeavour - the design and invention of so-called free energy devices, similar to perpetual motion machines in the past. These devices purport to "tap" the zero-point field and somehow "extract energy" from it, thus providing an "inexhaustible", cheap, and non-polluting energy source.
Controversy arises when such devices are promoted as being revolutionary, but without scientifically acceptable proof that they tap the energy sources claimed. Promoters of a device demonstrate no understanding of how the device might do so; they demonstrate misunderstanding of widely-accepted scientific facts and methods, in development or communication of a theory concerning a device; they make no attempt to exclude prosaic explanations for claimed performance of a device.
Any of these behaviours are liable to taint the reputation of those involved with such devices, and qualified researchers are therefore likely to be reluctant to make any attempt to verify or to even seriously debunk such a device, until the promotors of the device demonstrate competence-enough to be taken seriously. An exercise for the skeptical reader might be to provide a list of controversial free energy devices where none of these situations are the case.

Vlad, your site has a link to
aetherometry.com. According to an essay there, the Correas have had experience
with Wikipedia and “consensus science”. They call it a “collection of
misconceptions” and point to its “cult of ‘the official line’. Here’s a quote
from them:
“A thoughtful observation of
the Wikipedia editorial process for any given topic reveals that what actually
transpires is nothing short of an infernal exercise in disinformation, never
more poignant than when it is mobilized to destroy the content (or information)
of an entry, an idea, a theory or a concept. At this level, the Wikipedia
machine operates monolithically, as if it were a hive of drones and
soldier-Admins engaged single-mindedly in a systematic campaign of degrading
information or content. This is most apparent when it comes to critical or
controversial issues, or in Wikipedia entries requiring some degree of
expertise: here, the hive wreaks havoc, gradually replacing what might have
started as actual content ('the information') with superficial, ignorant,
erroneous or deliberately misleading simulations of
content.”
If the Correas are even partly correct
about Wikipedia, how can its entry on zero-point energy be considered seriously?
Did the people who wrote the entry actually do experiments with the Casimir
force? Did they consult with Fabrizio Pinto or other Ph.D. scientists who have
indeed done experiments?
Anyway, maybe “zero-point quantum
fluctuations of the vacuum” are only one little manifestation of the Field in
which all life exists, as some frontier scientists are saying. Maybe there are
other possibilities that are more likely to result in powerful new clean-energy
technologies that tap into the background energy of the universe, such as the
aether physics of Dr. Harold Aspden or the vortex-mechanics approach of the
students of the ideas of Viktor Schauberger and Walter
Russell.
A lay-person observer for 25 years,
