Last year, the well known and prolific Canadian researchers, Paulo and Alexandra Correa (Aurora Biophysics Research Institute, Concord, Ontario, Canada), published in the Journal of Aetherometric Research (Energy Science and Technology), a series of three very interesting papers under the general title: "Critical Appraisal of XXIst Century Energy Science and Technology":
(1) Relevance of Nikola Tesla's Inventions and Discoveries, from the Perspective of Aetherometry
(2) Causes of the Failure of the Electric Vehicle (EV) and Basics of the Autonomous Electric Vehicle (AEV)
(3): Nuclear fusion, LENR and anomalous plasma electrodynamics
For those who do not know them (and a reminder for those who do), they have pioneered the analytical and experimental science of the massfree electric Aether (Aetherometry) and have obtained a number of patents for "Energy Conversion Systems" beginning with mid nineties up to the latest one, for their Aether/Orgone motor/converter, in 2007.
The abstracts and the links to the full pdf papers are given below:
Abstract
This report is the first of a series of three reviews of the status of present-day energy science and technology. Its first part is dedicated to a succinct examination of the main inventions and discoveries of Nikola Tesla relating to those two topics: the polyphase AC system; the AC induction motors and generators; the Tesla coil and wireless resonant transmission at a distance of ground AC currents; the wireless transmission of AC power through the atmosphere; the operation of electrodeless lamps with wireless transmission of power through the ground or the atmosphere; Tesla's directed energy "ray gun"; his invention of the first drone (Teleautomaton) equipped with an onboard electroanalog computer; and his systems for energy capture from natural sources.
In the second part, these inventions and Tesla's theory of their operation and underlying physics are evaluated from the perspective of, and the contributions from, the analytical and experimental science of the massfree electric Aether (Aetherometry) that we have pioneered. We stress both the relevance of Tesla's work to the status of present-day energy science and technology, and the analytical and practical insufficiencies of that work. In this context, we review our theory of massfree and massbound electric charge, with an emphasis on our discovery of the finite-size structure, topogeometry and energy functions of the electron.
Abstract
Quite aside from the totalitarian measures taken by the smashing majority of governments worlwide to force consumers to replace the IC automobile by the so-called Electrical Vehicle (EV), the ongoing colossal failure of the EV can be attributed to two correlated scientific and technological shortcomings which conventionally-funded academic basic research has proven unable to address: 1) the problem of energy storage, which was falsely solved by the uneconomic and unsafe lithium battery technology; and 2) the inability to create an EV that carries onboard its own power plant, an energy-autonomous EV, or AEV in our terminology. The first shortcoming is also illustrated by the utter failure of the hydrogen fuel cell solutions. Yet, back in the 1990's, we presented GM with a technological proposal to create such an AEV (disclosed for the first time as an accompanying report in the Journal of Aetherometric Research) employing massfree energy extraction from the local "medium of space" by electron plasmas. But we were told by GM executives that the electric vehicle was just good PR.
In the last of a series of papers on energy science and technology, we survey the wide field of theories and devices that claim energy in excess of breakeven (with a coefficient of performance, COP>1).
1) On the side of nuclear reactions, it encompasses thermonuclear fusion, so-called cold fusion, its generic replacement by low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), and the aetherometric discoveries of heretofore ignored gravitationally-confined and electrodynamically-driven hydrogen fusion pathways. These two discoveries cast as much severe doubt on the feasibility of achieving controlled fusion by greater and greater injections of thermal power into magnetically and inertially confined hydrogen plasmas (a shotgun approach), as on the accuracy ("veracity") of claims that ubiquitous LENR reactions simply source excess heat. In effect, Aetherometry argues that there is no such thing as low energy reactions, for three reasons: 1) no fusion reactions directly generate blackbody photons (heat), period; 2) most claimed signature-transmutations are based on deficient and incorrect nuclear physical theory; and, worse still, 3) they stem from poor experiments whose data is insufficient (or nonexistent) to substantiate the claim. A case in point is the incredibly preposterous claim that the PAGD reactor is the simplest ever LENR reactor. In effect, though the PAGD reactor emits light and heat, what it primarily releases is electric energy in excess of breakeven. The whole LENR theory is a boondoggle that not even the Widom-Larsen (WL) theory can save.
2) On the side of anomalous cathode reaction forces deployed by particular plasma discharges, the present communication surveys the pulsed abnormal glow discharge (PAGD), vacuum arc discharges (VAD) and interrupted vacuum-arc discharges (IVAD). The metallographic signatures of these discharges in non-hydride, non-oxide and non- permeated cathode metals have long been known, and their deployment of energy in excess of breakeven, whether thermal or electric, is not directly connected to any particular set of LENR-induced transmutations. The absence of neutron and gamma-ray signatures in these discharges is also a strong argument against such a preconceived assimilation - and tallies with the willful disregard for simpler explanations, such as Aspden's law of electrodynamics, or the aetherometric treatment of the same.
Other plausible devices ("electromagnetic", piezoelectric, etc) that claim COP>1 are also surveyed.
Despite all the hoopla over the past 4 decades, few of these excess energy devices and theoretical approaches in each category are found to have survived detailed scientific and technical scrutiny. One of the worst outcomes has been a modern systematic falsification of basic science that charted successive metamorphoses which first turned "cold fusion" into LENR, and then illegitimately absorbed into the latter the electrodynamics of anomalous plasma discharges. Probably this perverse distortion could not be otherwise, since conventional and alternative physical theories all have in common an inadequate grasp of electrodynamics, starting with what is an electron and what it does - what it can and cannot do; so, given such limitations, how could their grasp of nuclear physics be better than their grasp of electrodynamics? It simply can't.
