Randy writes: There is a universal and obvious design in nature that shows the common man how to tap the sea of energy that pervades all of space and all matter. The examples found in nature of energy conversion systems provide all the information needed to implement practical Zero Point Energy conversion.
Every atom and many molecules, as well as many heavenly bodies show similarities in design that we should pay close attention to. Soon, based on the simple design of nature, we will soon develop new energy systems that will free us from the tenacious hold that fossil energies have on us today.
It has been said, "There are three levels of civilization: High Tech, Low Tech, and No Tech." Unfortunately, our mainstream technology is still "Low Tech". However, there exists technology one step beyond the mainstream that we have not been given full access to and is slowly being made public.
The noted Dr. Steven Greer has been quoted as saying, "…Suppressed ZPE…is not subject to the law of thermodynamics which applies only to local closed thermal systems…ZPE can be tapped from crystalline structures"… The technology he describes is unacceptable by mainstream physicists as it violates known laws of physics, and therefore goes uninvestigated.
The simplest and most direct way to tap Zero Point Energy is through the use of piezoelectric crystals and nanostructured materials. Indeed, emerging Nanotechnology holds the key to mass production of these materials. In our most advanced laboratories it will soon be possible to construct a sphere of ultrathin crystalline and piezoelectric material with magnetic properties. The material will have both piezoelectric properties as well as capacitance.
By attaching permanent magnets on the exterior of a hollow sphere of this material along the XY axis we can literally squeeze out an electronic signal that would be amplified by the resonance of the crystal and the resonance of the vacuum chamber. The built in capacitance would charge and discharge sending waves of energy into the chamber. In this way, we will capture ZPE and convert it into a part of this signal.
This is a simple and effective way to convert Zero Point Energy into electricity, light, or microwave. The geometry of the enclosure as well as the geometry of the material would determine the frequency of the electromagnetic waves. The device would have no moving parts, and would be completely solid state.
Yes, this is a challenge. It is that simple, and we will get there in time, but will it be in time?
Our civilization has reached the point where we must soon choose to unleash the potential of advanced technology, invest in new industry and new forms of energy, or face the potential for rapid Climate Change and the prospect of war and skirmishes over resources. We are like children in school. It is time to grow up, graduate, and be accountable.
To those who withhold their knowledge of advanced energy systems from us I ask, "Which will it be: Truth or Consequences"?
Tell your friends. Ask your representatives: Why do we spend all this money on secret technology? What good does it do us if we are not given full access? What do we gain? Are we truly more secure by withholding this technology?

(User Info | Send a Message) | Source: Penguin Dictionary of Electronics: Referring to piezoelectric crystals -
"When subjected to a mechanical stress, an electrical polarization is set up in the crystal and the faces become electrically charged. The polarity is reversed if compression is changed to tension. The maximum effect is obtained when the electrical and mechanical stresses are applied along the X axis (the electric axis) and the Y axis (the mechanical axis), respectively."
Piezoelectric Oscillator: "If an alternating electric field is applied across a suitable direction of a piezoelectric crystal, mechanical vibrations result. If the frequency corresponds to a natural frequency of vibration of the crystal, substantial vibrations result."
With the design described, mechanical stress produces an alternating field, and the alternating field produces substantial vibrations. The attached permanent magnets vibrate also inducing electricity. This amounts to a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field. The process is known as induction.
This explanation will help the mainstream physicists, as some do not yet realize that the ZPE is the source of electrical energy.

(User Info | Send a Message) | We have all heard about the potential of micromachines and the big boost they will have on economy, yet no one yet has come up with an effective way to power these ultra-tiny devices and achieve high energy density. Some have proposed that these tiny machines might be powered by atomic energy, but there is a much simpler way.
Just attach magnetic atoms to a piezoelectric quantum dot, and you would have a microgenerator. Magnetic squeezing of the crystal would set up a charge on the crystal faces and the vibration of the crystal owing to the attachment of the magnetic atoms, would set up a changing magnetic field producing electrical energy, (AC) by the way.
This could make possible a totally new industry called "Micro Machine Technology" or MMT.
Remember, you heard it here first!

(User Info | Send a Message) | Now that a few of you are beginning to think that, "Hey! This idea will work!" I must give you fair warning. Misused, the technology is destructive.
The nuclear industry may begin to think that a variation of this device containing a single radioactive atom could be built that would greatly increase energy density.
The proposed version would be about the size of a baseball and made of a thin shell of piezoelectric glass. The single atom of radioactive material contained in the device would produce radiation and a stored charge on the surface of the crystal guaranteeing that this device could be used even miles underground where cosmic radiation could not penetrate. Instead of permanent magnets being attached, the builder might use tiny induction coils for the poles and the magnetic squeezing could be turned on and off. The coils would move back and forth due to the vibration of the crystal.
Some radical might drop one into an oil well, and the changing magnetic field would be greatly increased by the presence of the iron in the drill pipe.
This would essentially be a magnetic coil with an increase of the magnetic field strength owing to the presence of the iron. It would be a variation of the induction motor built by built by Nikola Tesla.
I must warn you not to try this, as induction heating might burn a hole in the ground, or you might start an oil well fire. Leave this to the experts, and keep away from children.
The good news is that one could use this design for constructive purposes. The time may come when water is more valuable than oil and we will have a lot of abandoned oil wells. First, you would need a dry oil well. This is very important. Suppose you wanted to form an instant lake. You could drop one in the shaft. Turn it on. Turn it off, and the induction heating would burn a hole in the ground forming a glassy bowl. Of course, you would have to run like "He-double-hockey-sticks" to get away.
One might think that this is nothing more than dangerous information. The truth is that all knowledge is a tool or a weapon depending on how it is used. There is no such thing as dangerous information. Only the misuse of knowledge is dangerous. We all make a choice in how we use knowledge.
So, I cannot withhold the information and thereby withhold the warning, as eventually someone will try this. We already have made quantum dots with piezoelectric domains, so the technology for building piezoelectric glass and fully piezoelectric quantum dots is coming soon.
This is just a fair warning. "One can never stop the march of progress."

It plays, basically, on the fact, that there exists dark energy in the universe, and also there is inherient energy in a vacuum (heisenberg's uncertainty).
Let's look at the basics?
e=mc^2
All energy we use today, and will ever use, is either from energy conversion (e.g. heat to electric, as you see in turbines/generators) or mass to kinetic (e.g. fusion, fission, antimatter annihilation).
The very concept of being able to put a machine in a room, and press an 'on' button, with no visible source of energy into the machine, and it providing an output, is sheer stupidity - you can't get anything for free, this violates every law of physics, laws which hold for EVERY situation we have ever encountered that can be described, modelled, and replicated.
ZPE isnt recognized by the scientific community because, practically, it's a joke, quite literally feasible that a scientist thought it up for a bit of entertainment one day, and silly people who think they know something about physics picked up on it, without basic princilpes and understandings. It's a waste of time - seriously, move on. |

A Seed of Hope for a Troubled World (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | The manufacture of crystals by the semiconductor industry is a
well established industry. The process involves growing a larger
crystal from a seed crystal where the manmade crystal mimics the
structure of the seed. This is currently a well established science in
industrial societies, and presents every one of the industrial
countries with an open door to a truly pollution free society.
Alternating
current was given to and us by Nikola Tesla over one hundred years ago,
and is the foundation stone on which the modern industrial society was
built. By building a solid state AC generator using piezoelectric
crystal, the semiconductor industry now has the ability to change our
society from one once dependent on oil and gas into a society that is
self-sustaining.
The basic principle of producing
alternating current is well known as a stored charge and a conductor in
a changing magnetic field. There are several methods to produce
alternating current, but the example in nature of the Earth shows us
one method that the semiconductor industry can now imitate, and rid us
from the silliness of oil and gas. Crystal manufacturing is the
ultimate simple answer.
Piezoelectric crystals
change shape in the presence of an applied signal, vibrating back and
forth. A simple signal can be generated using an electronic signal
generator consisting of a capacitor, a magnetic coil, and a source of
charge.
If a piezoelectric crystal rod is
impregnated during manufacture with tiny particles of magnetic
material, these magnets will move back and forth generating a changing
magnetic field inside the crystal setting up and storing a charge on
the crystal faces with this set of "built in capacitors".
Using
what is know as the" boat method", any industrial country can
manufacture a rod of piezoelectric crystal impregnated with tiny
magnets, and the rod would become longer and shorter in the presence of
an applied signal. Tiny magnetic particles would simply need to be
magnetically aligned into a linear configuration in the crystal during
manufacturing by randomly dispersing them into a viscous mixture, and
by applying an alternating magnetic field of required intensity during
the manufacturing process.
Afterwards, the material would be cured and hardened.
Once
cured and a signal applied, the tiny individual magnets impregnated
within the crystal would move closer and further apart as the crystal
grew longer, and then shorter generating a changing magnetic field and
an alternating current. Considerable displacement is possible over the
entire lenth of the rod using this method.
After
manufacturing in order to insulate the crystal, the crystal rod would
need to be placed in a thin glass sphere and be magnetically suspended
within the evacuated chamber. The vibrating crystal rod would generate
a magnetic field and an opposing induced magnetic field so producing a
magnetic torque, and thus producing rotational motion and alternating
current.
We would then have a solid state
induction motor following the design of Mother Nature. It would be a
simple AC generator based on well known principles of electronics
vastly superior to what we now manufacture. There would be no physical
motor windings and little to break down.
The device would be about the size of a baseball, and so called, "The Electric Baseball".
Life just got a little easier with a simple answer to life, the universe, and everything.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The development of an optically transparent yet electrically conductive material made with a composite structure having preferentially arranged conductive paths is described. The medium contains many vertically aligned but laterally isolated chains of ferromagnetic spheres dispersed in a sheet of transparent polymer. The sheet transmits more than 90% of the incident light and is highly conductive only in the thickness direction. When suitably modified, the material exhibits on-off electrical switchability at a certain threshold pressure. These characteristics confer potential usefulness for visual communication devices such as write pads or touch-sensitive screens.

My point is that this principle is applicable to alternating current production and piezoelectric crystals. If the ferromagnetic spheres are insulated with a thin capacitor shell and impregnated into a piezoelectric crystal, then there would be a generation of alternating current as the crystal vibrated. Plus we would have an electrically conductive medium made from the crystal.
We ought to thank these researchers for their leadership and efforts. They may have laid the foundation for great things to come.

Quantum Magnets (Score: 1)

Scientists can turn usual insulators into high temperature superconductors by adding the right impurities. Researchers are working on trying to understand the exotic magnetic properties of these materials, which are strongly influenced by their quantum nature.
Stanford students are trying to understand the complex magnetic behavior of these insulators as magnetic atoms are randomly replaced by nonmagnetic impurity atoms. Instead of yielding a superconductor, the introduction of nonmagnetic impurities yields a novel magnet.

Piezoelectric material can be made from ultra-thin oxides ½ nanometer to 5 nanometers that would exhibit a greater order, or "show properties of a semiconductor".

Beating Back the Limitations of Conventional Energy (Score: 1)
by Randy on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 @ 17:41:56 GMT
(User Info | Send a Message) | Conventional energy will never get us to where we need to be. That is: sustainability in our economy, a sustainable energy industry, and a healthy environment.
Conventional energy requires massive amounts of manufacturing input energy, so that the amount of energy produced by the energy systems we manufacture most likely will never be returned during the lifetime of their operation.
Wind energy will not do it, as there is simply not enough open land. Plus, as in solar energy, there is the problem of intermittent energy activity.
Most every hydroelectric site has already been developed built using up massive amounts of materials and labor. These projects have displaced many people from their homes and also ends the use of the land behind the dams for anything but water retention, fishing, and recreation.
The most serious problem with massive dams is the fact that these dams have a limited lifetime. We may become rudely aware of this as they are especially vulnerable to climate change because they are made of concrete. When temperatures become too hot, the concrete will begin to degrade rapidly.
All concrete is partly living matter, and these organisms grow and degrade the concrete. Plus, we have all witnessed the buckling and explosions of concrete when subjected to excessive heat. Normally, concrete has a lifetime of about 20 years in outdoor situations under normal weather conditions, but our weather conditions are changing fast. So the hidden cost of Climate Change may not be calculated into the actual cost of these dams.
Even solar power, seemingly our most promising industry suffers from the limitation of energy investment verses return, plus a couple other critical limitations.
First, there are the material limitations in conventional photovoltaics. There is a very limited supply of silicon suitable for use in solar cells. Also, material for other more advanced solar cells are in short supply. Plus, there is the cost. As supply is used up, the price of raw materials will continue to rise making their use impractical. There is simply not enough raw material to power the entire world using conventional materials.
There is some hope for a successful solar industry beyond the age of silicon that will be discussed later.
Everyone should already be aware of the pitfalls of nuclear power. There is a massive investment necessary to mine and refine nuclear fuel. This requires the expenditure of conventional energy in the form of fossil fuels. Then, there is the building of the reactors again requiring massive outlays of energy and materials. Also, there is the possibility of accidents, and mistakes, plus the further possibility of attacks on reactor sites.
The most serious problem associated with nuclear power as everyone should already be aware, is the problem of disposal. Since the radioactive materials we mined were originally widely dispersed in the environment, the only good option is to again disperse the radioactive products back into the environment. This would mean that the level of radioactivity at any one location would not be harmful. Of course, there is always going to be the "not in my backyard syndrome", and that makes this a very pressing problem.
The biggest problem associated with dispersing radioactive waste is that it would require more energy to do this than any renewed nuclear program would ever produce for us. Again, the problem is more energy input than output.
Now let us consider nonconventional energy. Our best option is a variation of solar energy.
Solar energy beyond the silicon regime offers us hope that we may be able to overcome material limitations and scarcity of materials, as well as the energy input verses output problem.
What we really need is solar energy that uses common, ordinary materials, and this can be achieved with the advantages of emerging nanotechnology.
Instead of silicon, it might become feasible to utilize silica, nickel, aluminum, and iron to make a new kind of energy conversion device.
Scientists know about piezoelectricity, and almost all piezoelectric crystals are manmade, so the science is available for us to manufacture them. Currently however, most if not all, manmade piezoelectric crystals are made from rare materials and are semiconductors. Some are from group 2 and group 6 in the periodic table and are semiconductors. That means that the materials to make these are scarce.
Instead of a semiconductor crystal, we could make a dielectric that mimics the structure of a semiconductor and a piezoelectric crystal. This is possible with ultrathin oxides between ½ and 5 nanometers. Silica is an oxide.
The manufacturing process would involve making the crystal in the presence of a strong electric field and magnetically alligning aluminum-nickel-iron spheres within the crystal.
Silica is one of the most abundant materials on earth and it has been shown in studies at our national laboratories that the structure of ultrathin oxides takes on the characteristics of semiconductors at these tiny dimensions. The laws of quantum physics take over and tell the crystal to become more organized like a semiconductor.
The only problem that we would then need to address is the conduction problem. Silica is an insulator, and ultrathin silica is a dielectric capable of storing an electric charge. So our crystalline material would need electrically conductive pathways integrated into the crystal structure.
The solution is the magnetic alignment of tiny nickel-aluminum-iron spheres. (Quantum confined) Magnetic squeezing of the crystal along the YX axis would store charge on the crystal faces. This probably would not work very well except that the dielectric properties of the confinement and the resonance due to quantum confinement can produce very strong ferromagnets.
Perhaps, the magnet is converting ultra high frequencies of radiation into magnetism because of these properties and the described properties are the reason for the greater magnetic strength.
The application of our high frequency signal, i.e. the energy from space of a frequency higher than visible light would be our source of natural radiation. The energy input would therefore be uninterrupted and ubiquitous. Ubiquitous means abundant everywhere.
This "signal" would be short enough in wavelength that it would fit the confinement causing the crystal to vibrate continually storing a new charge on the crystal faces.
Resonance of the crystal spaces would reinforce the energy of the radiation.
The quantum confined micro alloys would be in effect a tiny resistance placed within the path of the confined wave from which more energy would be transferred. So, there would be a constructive reinforcement of this wave. Plus, the vibrating magnetic alloys within the structure would continue to produce a series of charges on the crystal faces due to electromagnetic induction.
This may sound complicated at first, but is nothing more than a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field.
Our crystalline material would not be a true semiconductor in the conventional form so it would likely not degrade as fast and would have a longer working lifetime. Also, our material would produce alternating current as opposed to the direct current that conventional solar cells produce. The efficiency would be much greater then, and so return more energy over the operating lifetime than was used in the manufacturing process. Alternating current is always much more efficient than direct current.
The proposed material would need to be purified like conventional semiconductors are, but would be cheaper over the long term. Its manufacture would add another layer to our economy, where we would then have the beginnings of a value-added economy such as Japan has now. Most of the cost would be in the form of highly skilled labor.
The environmental effects of this industry would need to be considered, but might actually be positive, as it would present opportunities for us to address environmental problems that we do not have now. The opportunity for having energy available at any location and available 24 hours a day could help us tremendously.
Our energy systems could then become decentralized, but remain partly centralized for a time until the new technology becomes fully established. This would eventually make us more secure, as centralized energy systems might present our enemies with a tempting target.
Our proposed material would be called: PYRX (pronounced Pyrock) as it would be an oxide and a pyroelectric crystal squeezed magnetically along the YX axis. The aligned magnetic alloys would form a series of strategically placed resistances. (R) between the mechanical and electrical axes. Without these strategically placed magnets, our device would not be practical and not a conductor. The eventual development of this material might help us tremendously.
What can we say about our present energy systems? What can we say about the current state of the environment and the state of our economy?
"This is a picture of the house no one wants, because the New World is made of glass, PYRX glass. This man’s house is virtually worthless."

(User Info | Send a Message) | As global temperatures begin to rise due to Global Warming, and summer temperatures climb past 100 degrees in some parts of the country, all our concrete roads and bridges will begin to buckle and even explode in some cases making constant repair an everyday event and a general nuisance. All these public works will eventually need to be replaced and it may not be very many years from now that we will need to do this.
The Clinton administration experimented with building roads and bridges out of glass. It was determined that glass roads and bridges would cost five times as much to build, but last five times longer. Doing this is not practical today, as the manufacturing process requires substantial energy. Soon however, we will be developing new forms of energy including electrical energy derived from attaching magnets to piezoelectric crystals.
As you may be aware already, concrete has a limited life span under normal conditions of about fifteen years. Presently, we use fossil energy and special made grinders to turn big chunks of concrete back into smaller ones in order to recycle the material and use it on our highways. To do this, about ten percent new material must be added in order to bind the old material and reuse it. Even then the newly built roads made from recycled concrete will not last as long as the original roads because once the living organisms begin to grow, they will continue to grow degrading the concrete. The recycled concrete is just not as good quality.
Back in 1957, the Corning Glass Company developed a glass ceramic called "pyroceram" that exhibited strange and mysterious properties. Pyroceram is a very light material and a crystalline structure with faces and spaces. These strange electrical properties were not understood at the time. We now surmise that these effects are due to the interactions of minute vibrations caused by changing magnetic fields and due to light adsorption and emission of individual atoms making up the crystalline material. Even though pyroceram is not highly purified as semiconductors are today, you can get a shock from touching it.
This line of reasoning leads one to believe in the possibility that a new but highly purified variation of this material could be manufactured by the semiconductor industry. This material could eventually be mass produced and turn ambient energy in our environment such as visible light and traffic vibrations directly into electricity by utilizing the resonance conditions in the glass crystals. Some day soon, all the energy we could ever need might eventually be widely distributed and decentralized by turning our roads into energy conversion systems.
At the present time, such a grand effort is unnecessary and would be cost prohibitive, but it may become a necessity to do this later.
If and when sea levels begin to rise, we will need to also raise the level of our businesses and residential dwellings including whole neighborhoods and the land they stand on. We will also need to provide a much greater capacity in our drainage systems in towns and cities everywhere.
Down south of Houston there is a residential community built near the bay that was literally built on land reclaimed from the ocean. Canals were dredged and houses were built next to these canals giving residents access to Galveston Bay from their back yards. These residents routinely use their personal recreational boats to get access to Galveston Bay. People who love the ocean appreciate having ready access to it.
In our cities though, people do not enjoy having to use boats to get around and prefer the automobile instead, but we can use the principle of dredging and land reclamation to adjust to changing climate in a new way.
Since we will eventually be compelled to raise land levels and streets, plus provide for a much greater capacity for drainage, why not do this in an intelligent and more effective manner at that time?
If we dredge down thirty feet, we will reach the level of thermal stability where a comfortable temperature can be maintained. Doing this will provide the earthen material to raise the level of our neighborhoods.
So, soon we may need to start building huge factories where sections of road-drainage culverts can be manufactured from glass ceramic material. These roads would need to be transparent or semi-transparent allowing us to have readily available water supplies and fish nurseries beneath the streets.
The level of water in these multipurpose systems would necessarily need to be monitored and maintained at near constant levels. If this is not done, buoyancy would raise the systems out of the ground like a swimming pool that has long been drained. Keeping water levels near constant level could be done electrically with bulkheads and adjustable locks. This would indeed become practical if we had sufficient clean renewable energy, and we will have this soon. Water temperatures would need to be maintained at levels where fish would thrive. If we have enough clean energy, all these things become practical.
Making glass is an energy intensive process, but free energy makes energy intensive processes viable.
If we weigh down these systems with rounded glass "stones" fast moving water would purify itself as it does in natural fast moving streams. It will become necessary if we begin to desalinate ocean water to encase salt in rounded glass "Stones" in order to find some way of disposing of all the salt we acquire from this. These stones would provide a place for fish to lay their eggs. Water in our man made systems would be clean enough to support a fish nursery.
One serious problem we presently face today is the destruction of natural fish hatcheries. Many of our shallow estuaries along coastal areas have been filled in and built on. This may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but may lead to food shortages later.
There is a real possibility that as temperatures continue to rise that there will be many more red tides or fish die offs and we must find some way to address this problem.
There are still many smaller fish in the oceans but we may need many more later. Many of the larger fish have been fished out though, and we will need much more fish in the future. Building fish nurseries is probably a very good idea to consider now. Since we are facing the possibility of rising sea levels and drainage problems simultaneously, why not solve all these problems simultaneously?
In London England, the great level of wealth concentrated there allows architects to build heat reducing elements into the buildings they design there. If you have been to London or seen photographs of London highrises, you may have noticed that the windows of some of these buildings are coated with the thinnest sprinkling of real gold. As incredible as it may seem, this coating filters out some of the higher frequencies of solar radiation cooling the inside of the buildings. Building owners save a lot of money on air conditioning bills by having this thin sprinkling of gold.
The same principle can be used for cooling water stored beneath the streets. If indeed water becomes too hot it will become oxygen depleted and the fish will die. This is why investing in this coating would not only be practical, but necessary. Fish also need light and need to be constantly supplied with fresh water and air that could be pumped in from below.
Building these roads and drainage systems and engineering them to supply their own energy may presently sound like an impossible pipe dream an grandiose, but if temperatures rise and the level of wealth in society also rises, this will not only become practical, but realistic.
Uncoupling the economy from oil and gas will lead to a more even distribution of wealth and a long period of economic expansion. We will necessarily need new industries to take the place of oil and gas. An expanding glass and micro machine industry could be these new industries. Just as the semiconductor industry as operating today provides a method of expanding wealth and prosperity, producing glass and micro machines could provide much of our economic growth in the future.
It would not be surprising if the glass and micro machine industry become the dominant industries of 2020 America.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Those interested in applying the technology I mentioned in this article as well as the previous article, "Instructions for Building a Quantum Dynamo" to fusion or cold fusion should read patent number 5537009. This is about transition of a glow discharge into a plasma. Inventor is Kiril Chukinov. I am not sure of the spelling of his name.
