Thanks for the kind words, and your own efforts in publicizing the potential for extracting EM energy from the vacuum is appreciated.

Hopefully this area will gain more attention in the future from the leaders of the scientific community, such as the National Academy of Sciences and the National Science Foundation. If so, then funding gradually should become available to sharp young graduate students working on their doctoral thesis, and sharp young post-docs, in our leading universities.

If it ever gets to that stage, then within two years it will skyrocket. All it needs is the proper horsepower, higher symmetry electrodynamics modeling, and funding. At least we have finally laid to rest the staid old charge that COP>1.0 EM power systems represent perpetual motion, by pointing out that every charge and dipole in the universe already does it. Also, the known broken symmetry of opposite charges - such as on the ends of a dipole - means that every dipole does indeed extract EM energy from the vacuum and pour it out in all directions in 3-space. Lee and Yang were given the Nobel Prize in 1957 for their prediction of broken symmetry, which was experimentally proven in early 1957 by Wu et al. So one no longer has to reprove it!

If there cannot be COP>1.0 EM systems, then there cannot be any charges or dipoles in the universe. Since that is patently false, then COP>1.0 EM systems are possible after all.

Best wishes and hope you had a fine Christmas,
