Draft All EM Systems Extract and Use Free Energy from the Vacuum (But we have not yet learned to build and use them properly) T. E. Bearden July 7, 2007 FOREWORD Building and exhibiting a “free EM energy flow” device is deceptively simple. E.g., simply lay a charged capacitor or electret on a permanent magnet so that the “static” E-field of the electrical component is at right angles to the “static” H-field of the magnet. By the little Poynting formula S = E H, that simple device pours out a continuous flow of real EM energy. If one just leaves it alone and does not disturb it, this simple gadget will pour out real, usable EM energy indefinitely – essentially forever. As Buchwald puts it {1}: "[Poynting's result] implies that a charged capacitor in a constant magnetic field which is not parallel to the electric field is the seat of energy flows even though all macroscopic phenomena are static." Scientists have long avoided recognizing that a “static EM field” is actually a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) thermodynamic system. Indeed, a “static” EM field is comprised of photons in continuous motion from the source charge or dipole, thus continually establishing and replenishing the “static” EM field at each point in space that the “static” field occupies. One points out the beautiful analogy by Van Flandern, on the question of a static field actually being made of finer parts in continuous motion {2}: “To retain causality, we must distinguish two distinct meanings of the term ‘static’. One meaning is unchanging in the sense of no moving parts. The other meaning is sameness from moment to moment by continual replacement of all moving parts. We can visualize this difference by thinking of a waterfall. A frozen waterfall is static in the first sense, and a flowing waterfall is static in the second sense. Both are essentially the same at every moment, yet the latter has moving parts capable of transferring momentum, and is made of entities that propagate. …So are … fields for a rigid, stationary source frozen, or are they continually regenerated? Causality seems to require the latter.” INTRODUCTION All real, observable EM energy directly used in EM systems is EM energy extracted by the source charge from the interaction of the charge with the subquantal fluctuations of the vacuum, and coherently integrated by the charge into observable photons which are then continually emitted. This follows directly from resolving the source charge problem: 1 Draft How does a charge or dipole radiate observable photons continuously, yet without any observable energy input? In short, how is energy conservation upheld? We give the solution. A brief history of the severe truncation of Maxwell’s original 1865 theory is also given. In 1892, Lorentz’s further symmetrical regauging of the already sharply curtailed Heaviside equations gave even simpler, Lorentz-invariant equations, and also arbitrarily discarded all asymmetrical Maxwellian systems. This vast set of discarded Maxwellian systems includes all those that take and use excess EM energy from the vacuum (EFTV) to achieve COP > 1.0. Not nature, but the ubiquitous use of the Lorentz-symmetric circuit self-enforces the COP < 1.0 performance of present “energy from fuel” electrical power systems, in accord with the Lorentz-invariant equations. Some major falsities contained in the present “Maxwell’s theory” taught in university are given. The hoary old second law of equilibrium thermodynamics, already reeling from known violations, is completely falsified by every source charge and dipole. The source charge and the source dipole are true Maxwell’s Demons and also true Feynman ratchets consuming positive entropy of the virtual state and producing negative entropy in the observable state. The magnetic Wankel example of an engine producing COP > 1.0 is given, as is how to convert it to self-powering (COP = ∞) operation. Because of the source charge dynamics, all EM systems already extract and utilize real EM energy directly from the virtual state vacuum fluctuations. All observable EM energy in the universe is and has been so extracted from the vacuum. The arbitrary Lorentz-symmetrizing of the CEM/EE model in 1892 is directly responsible for: (i) The unwarranted elimination of all asymmetrical Maxwellian systems, thus eliminating all COP >> 1.0 energy-from-the-vacuum (EFTV) electrical power systems, (ii) Keeping the power meters firmly on our homes and offices and the gas pump meters firmly on our automobiles, (iii) Foisting the mistaken notion that – other than from familiar wind energy, water current energy, etc. – EM energy must be obtained by consuming fuel (the “energy only from fuel” mystique), and (iv) Keeping our economic dependence largely on oil, gas, coal, and nuclear power and large centralized electric power distribution systems. The scientific community is directly responsible for the world energy crisis and much of the present poverty of humanity, because of its failure to correct the seriously flawed CEM/EE model, even though the many falsities of that model have been pointed out by eminent scientists such as Nobelist Feynman, Wheeler, Bunge, and others. In the widely used but hoary old 1880s/1890s CEM/EE model, the scientific community propagates known absurdities – such as (i) force fields and force-free waves in mass-free space, (ii) implying that a source charge produces its associated EM fields and potentials (and their energy) by continuously creating all their energy from nothing at all, (iii) the oxymoronic second law of equilibrium thermo-dynamics which implicitly assumes its own contradiction has first occurred but not been accounted, and 2 Draft (iv) deliberate exclusive prescription and use of symmetrical circuits which selfenforce Lorentz symmetry and COP < 1.0. We urge: (i) rapidly correcting the CEM/EE model, (ii) correcting and extending the second law of thermodynamics to incorporate the demonstrable production of negative entropy by every charge in the universe, (iii) funding young doctoral candidates and post doctoral scientists to seek known mechanisms (electrical, magnetic, and in materials) in physics that produce Lorentz asymmetry at least temporarily in the otherwise symmetrical EM system, and (iv) funding young doctoral candidates and post doctoral scientists to apply these asymmetry mechanisms to quickly develop EFTV asymmetrical COP>1.0 EM power systems that resolve the present escalating energy crisis quickly, cheaply, and cleanly. EM Energy Dynamics EM Fields and Potentials: Sets of Real, Free EM Energy Flows from the Vacuum In 1903 Whittaker rigorously showed {3} that any scalar potential is a set of ongoing longitudinal EM wave flows, in pairs. In 1904 he showed {4} that any EM field or wave pattern is two scalar potentials with impressed differential functions. This latter paper initiated the field presently called “superpotential theory”, with later contributions by various scientists {5,6,7,8,9}. If one takes the two base potentials in the 1904 paper, and first decomposes each of them into a set of EM energy flows via Whittaker’s 1903 work, and then applies the differential functions of the second paper, one has it. All EM fields, potentials, waves, etc. decompose into sets of ongoing longitudinal EM energy flows, with impressed differential functions. They are just peculiar sets of ongoing EM energy flows. All static EM fields and potentials are actually nonequilibrium systems comprised of steady flows of real EM energy. As is known and accepted, EM fields and potentials are somehow produced by their associated source charges. This translates into “every charge continuously pours out real observable EM energy flows, extracted and transduced from its vacuum interaction.” The astounding result is that all EM energy is free! It occurs as fields and potentials from every source charge, and all of those are free and steady flows of observable EM energy transduced by the charge from the seething vacuum. Any charge or dipole continuously and freely interacts with the virtual fluctuations of the vacuum, thereby establishing its associated fields and potentials – and each of those is a set of ongoing free EM energy flows. Though almost “hidden” and rather ignored, even the staid old electrical engineering model recognizes that a steady flow of energy is associated with static EM fields. E.g., lay a charged capacitor on a permanent magnet, so the E-field and the H-field are orthogonal. Then standard textbooks admit there is a steady and unending flow of free Poynting EM energy S from that silly device, given by S = E H. It’s there. It’s real. It’s free. 3 Draft So there has never really been an “energy” crisis per se. There has only been a flawed, iron dogma in the minds of our scientific community, enforcing self-limiting power systems. In particular, a hoary old electrical engineering model glued together before the advent of modern physics – and riddled with blatant falsities – is still upheld and prescribed by all our universities and the leaders of our scientific community. The Free EM Energy Flow Comprising a “Static” Field is Continuous and Perpetual The fact that every individual EM field and potential (including all so-called “static” EM fields and potentials) is a free flow of EM energy extracted from the local vacuum, does not explicitly appear in any electrical engineering textbook we checked. Most EE professors will strongly resist the idea, but it is easily demonstrated experimentally. Just assemble some charge or a dipole instantly or nearly so, and with pre-arranged instruments record the steady outflow (along any radial line) at light speed of real EM energy. The free flow of EM energy will continue so long as the charge and dipole remain. Yet no observable input of energy can be measured. The reader should look at it this way. Consider a dipole such as a permanent magnet, with its “static” magnetic field surrounding it in space. How long will that magnet exist, and – accordingly – how long will its “static” field exist along with it? Its field is a set of ongoing, steady state, free EM energy flows. And the field (i.e., that set of free energy flows) will last as long as the magnetic dipole physically endures. The moment a magnet is produced, its free outflow of real EM energy from the vacuum starts instantly and continues as long as the magnet physically exists. This free flow of energy continually establishes and replenishes the so-called “static” magnetic field. Now consider a magnetic dipole in one of the atoms of matter that has been around since the universe was first formed. That “magnet” has lasted some 13.7 billion years, freely pouring out real EM energy flow all the while. And it hasn’t run down yet, nor has its energy been depleted in the slightest. So as far as obtaining a free and usable EM energy flow is concerned, there isn’t a crisis and there never has been one. There is only a crisis of the scientific “mindset”, in failing to realize how to properly capture – from the myriads of free, unending flows of EM energy that surround us and are so easily evoked – as much EM energy as we need, without destroying the source dipole in the process. EM Energy Produces Dynamics on the Time Axis as well as in 3-Space. Quantum field theory (QFT) is much more modern and far more descriptive of nature than the hoary old electrical engineering (EE) model with its serious flaws. In QFT there are four photons prescribed and available {10}. With the line of photon propagation chosen along the Z-axis, oscillation of the energy in the photon – and thus its polarization – can occur in any one of several directions. If the energy oscillates along the X axis and thus transversely to the line of propagation, that is a transverse photon. Oscillation along the Y-axis is obviously also a transverse photon. Oscillation back and forth along the line of motion (like an accordion) is a longitudinally-polarized photon, or – for short – a “longitudinal photon”. Oscillation 4 Draft along the time axis is a time polarized or “scalar” photon. The oscillation direction is called the “polarization”. Neither the longitudinal nor scalar photon can be observed individually. But the combination of the two is observable as common voltage {10}. Whenever one uses voltage and voltage spikes – including at every dendrite ending of every nerve cell in our body – one uses longitudinal EM photons and longitudinal waves, as well as time-polarized photons and waves. That follows from standard quantum field theory, which is presently the prevailing theory for much of physics. The physicists, however, have not done very much with the innate ability to manipulate voltage so as to manipulate both time-energy and space-energy. They should have! Dealing with EM Models Fundamental Units Used in a Physics Model Are Arbitrary To understand how EM energy can “oscillate” over on the time axis, one needs to realize something about making a physics model. The choice of “fundamental” units utilized in such a model is totally arbitrary. It is perfectly permissible (and valid) to make a physics model with only a single fundamental variable – physicists already make such a model and use it effectively {11}. So in general, calling something “time” or “energy” or “mass” is quite arbitrary. The fundamental units used in one’s model are usually chosen for convenience and to ease calculations etc. How we most often use the model determines which set of fundamental units is most convenient. For example, if one chooses to make his physics model with only a single fundamental unit – say, the joule – then everything else becomes a function of energy. After Einstein and the atom bomb, everyone is comfortable with dealing with mass as energy. However, most persons are still uncomfortable in dealing with time as energy. Certainly the view that time is energy can be justified, merely by choosing the proper fundamental unit(s) for one’s model. One just allows only a single fundamental unit, which is taken to be the joule. But then length is energy also, and so on. Obviously such a model can get very complicated, with so many functions of energy, but it does give all the correct answers and it is as valid as the most commonly used models. It’s just much more awkward in the general case, though correct. Usually a more convenient model with various carefully selected fundamental units is used. The bottom line is this: We already know that any form of energy can be changed into any other form of energy – changing of the form of energy is rigorously the definition of work. Since everything is a form of energy or can be modeled as such, it follows that in theory anything can be changed into anything else. So time can be turned to energy and so can space. Putting the two together as “spacetime”, one thus arrives at general relativity based on “curving or distorting (changing) spacetime itself”. One is now justified in defining a “change in curvature or torsion of spacetime” as a “change in energy”. Or more concisely, spacetime is energy and curvature or distortion of spacetime 5 Draft is a change in energy. Note that for the first time in physics this gives us a rigorous definition of energy itself. It can also be shown that a change in the virtual particle flux of vacuum is a change in energy. It follows that a change in curvature of spacetime and a change in the virtual particle flux of vacuum are synonymous. The Hoary Old CEM/EE Model Is Horribly Flawed Now let’s examine the classical EM model and the electrical engineering model (the CEM/EE model) that is more than 100 years old. Sadly, the model is horribly flawed and riddled with falsities {12}. We usually point out some dozen or so falsities in the CEM/EE model – such as the following examples: (i) The model still assumes the old material ether (falsified in 1887). (ii) It assumes forces and force fields in space (which is blatantly false, as pointed out by eminent scientists such as Feynman, Wheeler, Bunge, etc.). Basic classical mechanics still makes the same error, and has for some 400 years. (iii) It assumes a flat spacetime (falsified in 1916). (iv) It assumes an inert vacuum (falsified since at least 1930 and the Dirac Sea view of the vacuum, together with the modern quantum mechanical view). (v) Since it assumes an inert “vacuum and spacetime” environment for an “isolated” EM system, it eliminates all nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) EM systems freely receiving, transducing, and using energy from the active vacuum/spacetime environment as their energy input. Since all EM energy in all EM systems (and in fact in the universe) is extracted and converted directly from the active vacuum by the source charges q in the system, the present CEM/EE model is so falsely restricted as to approach absurdity. In assuming an inert vacuum and flat spacetime environment for the isolated charge, it assumes that the charge continuously creates its continuous output EM energy from nothing at all – in total violation of the conservation of energy law. One often chuckles at the inane pseudo skeptics who froth at the mouth at COP>1.0 EM systems as being “dirty old perpetual motion machines creating energy out of nothing”. These are the very gentlemen who unwittingly already universally accept the very thing they protest – and they have such little knowledge that they do not even recognize it. Certainly it is absurd to try to apply CEM/EE to the active mechanisms for using EM energy from the vacuum, since the CEM/EE model itself already excludes any vacuum activity or interaction, hence excludes all such mechanisms. That is like trying to operate on a man’s liver to resolve a serious problem with his heart, while pretending he has no heart. The greatest barrier met by energy-from-the vacuum researchers and inventors is from the electrical engineers who so blithely assume that their discipline already teaches the total truth about electrical power systems, and who assume they therefore already know everything about any EM energy from the vacuum system. Or, they just assume there is really no such thing as “energy from the vacuum.” 6 Draft Their discipline teaches only a small and highly warped fragment of real EM energy technology, and they have no inkling of the rest, much less any understanding of it. Fortunately, parts of modern physics do contain most of the necessary information outside CEM/EE, but the scattered information has not previously been integrated into a proper discipline. Some background information on how things got that way is useful. Maxwell’s Theoretical Model and What Was Done to It Maxwell’s actual original EM theory was set forth in an 1865 paper {13}, and it contains 20 quaternion-like equations in 20 unknowns. From the publisher of the first edition of his 1873 “Treatise”, Maxwell received very harsh criticism of the quaternion algebra he employed {14}. So under such pressure, Maxwell himself began deliberately curtailing and simplifying his own EM theory that had been published in 1865 and in the first edition of his treatise. He had completed drastically simplifying (reducing) about 80% of his own theory when he died in 1879 of stomach cancer. For the second edition of his treatise, published in 1881 after his death, that part of the first edition was replaced with Maxwell’s own simplification. Similarly in the third edition, with added comments etc. So the standard third edition of Maxwell’s book, widely available today and accepted as “Maxwell’s original theory”, is no such thing. It is a great simplification and reduction. We also emphasize that, during Maxwell’s own lifetime, his theory was not generally adopted and accepted. Instead, such acceptance followed his death in 1879 by several years. Until Hertz performed an experiment showing that Maxwell’s velocity of the speed of light was correct, Maxwell’s theory was not generally adopted. After that experiment, Heaviside’s tremendously curtailed 1880s version of it (further seriously curtailed in 1892 by Lorentz) was slowly adopted and it came to be erroneously referred to as “Maxwell’s theory”. In the 1880s and 1890s following Maxwell’s death, Heaviside {15}, Gibbs {16}, Hertz {17} and others ripped the quaternions apart, creating and using the far simpler vector algebra (which Heaviside and Gibbs helped formulate). This was a greatly “watered down” treatment of Maxwell’s original theory. What today are taught in university as “Maxwell’s equations” are not that at all. They are actually Heaviside’s equations and Heaviside’s notation – and they have been even further simplified and reduced! A great many startling things can be done in Maxwell’s original theory, that cannot even be conceived or modeled in the present Heaviside-Lorentz theory {18}. In the 1880s and 1890s Lorentz {19} put the final coup de grace on Maxwell’s theory, by symmetrically regauging the already watered down vector equations of Heaviside {20}. That symmetrizing action arbitrarily discarded all asymmetrical Maxwell systems {21}. As Nobelist Lee points out {22}: "Since non-observables imply symmetry, these discoveries of asymmetry must imply observables." And again {23}: “…the violation of symmetry arises whenever what was thought to be a nonobservable turns out to be actually an observable.” 7 Draft In other words, when one has symmetry in a particle system, one has lots of virtual things that stay virtual. When one discovers a mechanism which breaks symmetry, then one has discovered a mechanism where some of those virtual things become or form observable things. I.e., paraphrasing Nobelist Lee’s statement {24}: Something usually virtual becomes observable! It follows that extracting usable EM energy from the vacuum involves the use of broken symmetry and asymmetrical systems a priori. Obviously, if a system is to convert virtual state energy of the vacuum into observable EM energy, its signature will be an output of observable EM energy without any observable energy input. Therefore the system must possess and utilize (1) a virtual energy input, and (2) a suitable broken symmetry. The equations describing such a system’s operation must be asymmetric, violating Lorentz invariance and present electrical engineering. If one arbitrarily eliminates an asymmetry in a set of equations comprising a theoretical model, then one has arbitrarily simplified the theory by arbitrarily discarding its processes or mechanisms that convert something virtual into something observable. Nature does not discard the asymmetry or the conversion mechanism, but with the new “symmetrized” equations the humans just assume it away. Lorentz’s symmetrizing of Maxwell’s equations represents one of the great turning points in history where science took a major “wrong turn”. Lorentz arbitrarily discarded those Maxwellian systems which receive excess energy freely from the virtual energy of their active spacetime or vacuum environment and successfully use it to produce COP > 1.0, by using it to help power their loads – but not using any of it to kill the source dipole inside the generator. Now, more than a century later, those asymmetric Maxwellian systems allowed by nature are still erroneously discarded from electrical engineering. Such discarded Maxwellian systems are precisely those which will freely produce an excess, free “EM net force” via asymmetrical regauging – a force which then can freely dissipate the excess energy asymmetrically received, to perform some free work in system loads. Lorentz-regauging killed any “net free regauging force” and allowed the use of much simpler Lorentz-invariant equations which were easier to solve. Also, the symmetrized equations usually allowed one to produce closed analytical solutions, rather than having to use laborious numerical methods as for the more fundamental asymmetrical equations allowing violation of Lorentz invariance. Heaviside also hated potentials – which today we know are the primary basis for EM. He thought they were “mystical” and stated they should be “murdered from the theory”. He almost succeeded in murdering them, but not quite – he left the magnetic vector potential and the scalar potential. Heaviside was very satisfied with his work against Maxwell’s many potentials, and Nahin {25} relates how Heaviside felt: "In an 1893 letter to Oliver Lodge, Heaviside said of his own work that it represented the 'real and true Maxwell’ as Maxwell would have done it if he had not been humbugged by his vector and scalar potentials." In Heaviside’s day, most “electricians” believed that potentials were not physically real, but were just mathematical conveniences. Today’s physicists know that the 8 Draft potentials are primary, and the fields are just changes produced in, and made in, the proper potentials. Quoting Feynman {26}: "In the general theory of quantum electrodynamics, one takes the vector and scalar potentials as the fundamental quantities in a set of equations that replace the Maxwell equations: E and B are slowly disappearing from the modern expression of physical laws; they are being replaced by A and ." An Analogy to Make Symmetry and Asymmetry Simple. First the complicated stuff: We note that electromagnetic regauging involves a change in potential energy of a system. Any change in the electromagnetic potential energy of the system is a change in the energy density of space. It’s also a change in the local vacuum potential and its energy density. It’s precisely similar to a change in voltage, in the space in which the system is embedded. But that is always a two-way interaction! As Wheeler pointed out {27}: "Space acts on matter, telling it how to move. In turn, matter reacts back on space, telling it how to curve." Further, modern quantum field theory tells us we cannot separate the charge and its interaction with the seething vacuum. E.g., quoting Aitchison: "...the concept of a 'single particle' actually breaks down in relativistic quantum field theory with interactions, because the interactions between 'the particle' and the vacuum fluctuations (or virtual quanta) cannot be ignored." {28}. Regauging changes the excitation (potentialization) of the charges in a circuit. It is also a change in the interaction between the local vacuum and the charges in that system. In the general relativity view, it’s also a change in the energy density of space, so it’s a change in the spacetime curvature. It’s actually the vacuum (the vacuum potential and its activity) that is changed when we change a potential. That’s also a change in the curvature of spacetime (ST). A change in energy is rigorously a change in ST curvature or torsion or both, from the general relativity view. A change in energy is rigorously a change in the vacuum potential and its virtual particle flux activity, from the particle physics view. The point is this: Regauging is actually a change of the system’s spacetime and vacuum environment. The corresponding change in the system comes from the direct interaction with the system of that change in its environment. If we allow parts (e.g., charges) in the system to move and readjust, that will constitute work. If we freeze the parts of the system (i.e., the charges), then no work will be done. The “potential energy of the system” will have freely changed, because the environment constituting the system’s potential energy has freely changed. 9 Draft And so every electrodynamicist already assumes that the potential energy of the system can be freely changed at any time, merely by regauging. He even has the gauge freedom principle of quantum field theory to prove it. Now that we understand that point, we can proceed to a simple analogy of regauging, so one can easily understand what’s happening. Consider an automobile on a flat level road. It is pressing on the pavement with a force, and the pavement is pressing back up on it with an equal force. That’s a symmetrical regauging (two extra free forces, but equal and opposite) of the system comprised of the auto and the earth. It just puts in the effect of environmental gravity. The symmetrical regauging creates additional stress in the system, and nothing else. Now how would one “asymmetrically” regauge that situation? Well, the environment must be changed asymmetrically so that a net force remains, instead of all forces summing to a vector zero. If the road were suddenly oriented down the slope of a hill, then there will be a net force on the auto that is off the vertical direction. The environment is now asymmetrical between the auto’s position and the bottom of the hill, and there is a gradient in the environmental potential between those two points. This environmental gradient interacting with the auto’s mass constitutes a free extra force now existing on the auto, propelling it outward and thus down the hill. If free-wheeling, the auto will freely accelerate as it moves down the hill, continuously increasing its own kinetic energy because of the downhill force propelling it. Now if that free-wheeling auto suddenly hits some big object (such as a parked 18wheeler truck) sitting in the road, it will deliver its accumulated kinetic energy to that object, doing work on the truck and altering it. Here it’s just smashing into the truck and damaging it. In short, the automobile (the system of interest) picked up asymmetric regauging energy (asymmetric change in its environmental potential) from its active environment resulting in the appearance of a net force acting on the automobile itself. Because of the asymmetry in the auto-environment interaction, the auto had a net force emerge to accelerate it down the hill (convert some of the potential energy flow of the environment to kinetic energy). The auto interacted with the truck as a “load” and dissipated its kinetic energy as free work on the “load” (the truck in the road). Let us return to the auto on a “level” road. The truck in the road at some distance is there also. So let the external environment (producing the gravity and the two opposing stress forces) be changed for both the truck’s position and the auto’s position, so that the gravitational potentials at both points change equally. So the new gravitational potentials are still equal at the location of the distant truck and at the location of the auto. That is a symmetrical regauging of the gravitational potential energy of the auto’s environment. In this case, there is no gradient in the gravitational potential between the auto’s position and the truck’s position. So no additional “net free lateral force” appears on the auto. It does have its stress forces (equal and opposite) increased. But the auto does not have an extra “free” force impelling it toward the location of the distant object. There is no gradient in the gravitational potential at the position of the auto and the gravitational potential at the position of the truck. 10 Draft Again return to the auto on a “level” road. The truck in the road at some distance is there also. Now let the external environment (the gravity producing the two opposing stress forces) be changed asymmetrically without any change in the land’s topology. Let the changed gravity be greater at the location of the distant truck, than it is where the auto is initially resting. That is an asymmetrical regauging of the gravitational potential energy of the auto’s environment to include the truck and its location. A gradient in the gravitational potential now exists between the position of the auto and the position of the truck. Now the auto does have an extra “free” force on it that is impelling it toward the location of the distant truck. So this previously “level” road has not changed, but it is now not “level” with respect to earth’s gravity. The auto again accelerates toward the distant truck, as if it were freewheeling down a hill as we used initially. The auto (moving on the “level”), accelerates and increases its kinetic energy, then strikes the truck and does external work on it again. That’s what happens with asymmetrical regauging, so that the extra force appears on the “auto” as the system of interest. When the auto is “uphill” from the truck, all “uphill” really means is that the auto is at a lower gravitational potential than that of the truck. The resulting gradient in the gravitational potential between those positions freely produced a force on the auto propelling it toward the truck. The auto gained kinetic energy, and when it hit the truck it furnished that kinetic energy to do work on the truck. So when we have asymmetrical regauging of the system’s environment, the system can indeed perform some free external work with the regauging energy, if things are arranged correctly. If the system’s environment is symmetrically regauged, the system cannot use the extra stress energy to perform any free external work with that regauging energy. That simple analogy gives one a more physical feel for the difference between symmetrical regauging and asymmetrical regauging of a system and its environment. When the system potential energy is symmetrically regauged (actually its environmental potential is symmetrically regauged) and its potential energy increased, the system still cannot use that extra “free regauging energy” it possesses to do external work. But when the system potential energy is asymmetrically regauged, the system can then use that extra “free regauging energy” to perform useful work on an external load. It has acquired an extra “free force” upon it that can dissipate the extra system energy as the external work desired. Because of the Times, Even Maxwell’s Original Theory Contained Serious Flaws Maxwell’s original theory also had errors, as we know today but no one could have known it back then! It assumed the material ether and those force fields in space – everyone at the time believed in that material ether, and believed in forces in space. Basic mechanics erroneously told them that a separate force vector in space acts on a separate mass. That has been false for 400 years, as is well-known today and pointed out by – again – many scientists such as Feynman, Wheeler, Bunge etc. But it is still taught in basic mechanics, as well as in the CEM/EE model used by all electrical engineers. 11 Draft Maxwell even wrote a rather mechanical model of the ether {29}, complete with material fluids, rotating vortices, etc. But Maxwell favored the potentials, using many of them and giving them a prominent role. Today it is known and accepted that it is the potentials that are fundamentally real, and the fields are just distortions or changes in potentials. But for decades, the potentials were believed to be only mathematical conveniences, and not to represent anything physically real. EM Circuit Theory and Construction Are Also Terribly Fouled The rise of electrical engineering also gave rise to a “standard way” of doing circuits, and that way was paralyzing from the beginning. We have all been taught to leave the “external” source of potential connected to its own external circuit while current flows. A little examination shows that this results in a circuit which uses half its freely collected potential energy to destroy the dipolarity of the source, cutting off the free flow of potential energy being extracted from the virtual state vacuum by the proven broken symmetry of the source dipole (opposite charges). In short, this inane but universal circuit and practice results in systems that self-enforce Lorentz’s symmetrical regauging, so that the system cannot and will not produce COP > 1.0 from its own free regauging. The system can still receive excess regauging energy, but it will all be locked-up as system stress, with no associated net force to dissipate it in powering loads. Even worse, if you take half that “stress” energy to power some of the loads, that frees the other half to force spent charges from the ground line through the source dipolarity inside the generator, scattering the charges and destroying the dipole and its broken symmetry. That immediately “cuts off” the free flow of EM energy from the vacuum. Nature does not exclusively require such an inane, self-symmetrizing system! Instead, our EE model and standard EE practice exclusively requires it! CEM/EE and Common Usage Confuses Power, Energy, and Work Electrical engineers and texts still make gross misstatements. E.g., they speak of “drawing power” from the source, which is a non sequitur. Power is defined as the rate of doing work. But the rigorous definition of work is a change in the form of some energy. None of the EE texts seem to have a proper definition of work, and even half the sophomore thermodynamics texts also improperly define it at least in some cases! So power “exists” or is ongoing only in a component or circuit at the very location where the form of energy is being changed. It is not something “drawn from” the source of flowing potential energy. Change of the form of the energy is not something that is “drawn” from the source. Neither is the rate of change of the form of that energy. Engineers speak of the source “furnishing power” to the circuit, which again is false. What comes from the source is energy flow, not power. So speaking of the “source furnishing power” to the circuit is totally inappropriate, but widely used. Change in the form of energy is not something that is “furnished” by the source. One cannot actually “power” a load; one can furnish energy to the load, and the rate at which the load then changes the form of that energy (usually dissipating the energy also) is what is really “power” and “powering the load”. Engineers speak of the rate of flow of 12 Draft the energy along a circuit as the “power” flowing in the circuit, which again is false. Energy is not power, and power does not flow through space or along a wire. Many thermodynamicists {36} and most electrical engineers also assume that a change of magnitude of an external parameter (such as potential) of a system is work. It is no such thing. One can freely change the magnitude of the potential – and potential energy – of a system at will, so long as its form is not changed. As an example, mere voltage amplification (change of electrostatic scalar potential) is absolutely not work! Instead, it is regauging and it is protected under the gauge freedom axiom of quantum field theory. Input of extra energy in the same potential energy form, allows changing the magnitude of the potential energy at will and without work. Work is done only if the energy is input in a different form, so that its form must first be changed before it can be used to change the magnitude of the potential. The work is that change of form of energy – say, from Form 1 to Form 2. Work That Can Be Done by a System from 100 Joules of Energy Input The reader should consider this little gedanken exercise. Suppose we input 100 joules of energy in Form 1 to a 100% efficient subsystem A, which receives energy in Form 1 and changes it to Form 2. When we input 100 joules of energy in Form 1 to subsystem A, it changes the form of that energy to Form 2 and outputs it, having done 100 joules of work. But one still has 100 joules of energy, just in Form 2 now. So if I also employ subsystem B, which is 100% efficient and receives energy in Form 2 and changes it to Form 1, then I can take the 100 joules of energy in Form 2 that is output from subsystem A, after A has done 100 joules of work, and input it to subsystem 2. Subsystem 2 will now change that 100 joules of Form 2 energy back into 100 joules of Form 1 energy, doing 100 joules of work in the process. But I still have my 100 joules of energy, now back in Form 1 again! So I can output Subsystem A into Subsystem B, and Subsystem B into Subsystem A. And I can input 100 joules of energy in form 1, and then just stand back. That silly “theoretical” system will sit there in a closed loop and shuttle the energy round and round, producing 200 joules of work on every cycle. And it will continue doing work till the end of time, from that single input of 100 joules of energy in Form 1. And I can let that recycling system do continuous work for me, after the initial “jump starting”. And it will run forever, and do free work for me forever. There is no “conservation of work” law per se! There is only a conversation of energy law. And it states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but only changed in form. Few of our thermodynamicists realize or teach the possibility of that type of system, and almost none of the electrical engineers realize it. That’s because most do not know what work really is, nor do they properly understand the conservation of energy law. They also tend to assume that, when the form of energy is changed by doing work, that energy in its new form is automatically “lost” (dissipated) from the system, and is no longer under system control. In our common systems that is usually true, but it does not have to be true in every case! 13 Draft But most of these misstatements (such as “drawing power from the source”) are so deeply imbedded in EE teaching, texts, language, and thinking that – if one would communicate at all with electrical engineers – one uses them of necessity, speaking of “drawing power from the source”, etc. We use them in this paper, though begrudgingly and often with quotes around the term. Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Regauging Regauging Freely Changes the Potential Energy of the System Regauging (change of potential and thus of the potential energy of the systems being modeled) is absolutely free, as guaranteed by the Gauge Freedom axiom of modern quantum field theory and as used and accepted by electrodynamicists. So by using a flow of potential, one can freely increase the potential energy of an EM system without having to perform work. Every electrodynamicist on earth already assumes it and utilizes it. For an example: If one changes only the potential (the voltage) of a circuit or system, momentarily allowing no current to flow while the potential is freely flowing over the circuit and potentializing the circuit charges q, then absolutely no work is done. But the circuit has gained lots of additional free potential energy on those restrained charges q. In short, one freely changed the surrounding background vacuum potential that is interacting with those charges, and that change continually interacts with every charge in the system to alter its excitation (potentialization). The simple equation is W = Vq, where W is the energy collected freely from voltage V when it potentializes charges q. If no current flows, that excess potentialization energy W is “for free” because no power develops and no work is done on that source to destroy its dipolarity. Clearly we may increase the potential energy of any electrical circuit or system by merely increasing its voltage momentarily without allowing simultaneous current. Increasing the voltage only, is in fact asymmetrical regauging. It’s also collection of free energy. This alone shows us that, if we will use an asymmetrical circuit to intercept and collect that potential energy flow in work-free fashion, disconnect the external source of potential, recomplete the now-separated and potentialized external circuit to contain a load, then that separate circuit can and will freely discharge its excess potential energy to do work in the load, plus power some losses in the circuit. We can iterate the sequence: Potentialize from a potential source “statically”, disconnect the source, connect a load into the now-separated external circuit to complete that circuit, and discharge dynamically. Potentialize statically, discharge dynamically. So we can have a system which changes itself to iteratively do that. In that case, we can have a COP>1.0 electrical power system or even a self-powering one if we used clamped positive feedback to the input from the otherwise asymmetrically discharging output. Voltage (electrostatic scalar potential) is also a set of ongoing bidirectional EM energy flows. The so-called “static” potential will in fact flow along any conducting line it is connected to, and at nearly the speed of light. So from any static voltage source, one can freely collect (freely flow onto pinned charges q) as much energy as one wishes, if one 14 Draft has enough q available and if one prohibits current flow momentarily while the circuit charges q are being potentialized. That is what the simple equation W = Vq tells us. Implications of Symmetrical Regauging But if one then leaves the source still connected when the charges q are unpinned and current starts to flow, the back emf and forward emf are then forcibly equalized. Consider the standard practice of allowing the external source of potential to remain connected in the closed current loop circuit as a load while current flows in the circuit and in its loads. Exactly half the free EM potential energy collected in the circuit is now dissipated only to ram the spent (depotentialized) charges back up through the back emf of the generator. This forcibly scatters the separated charges comprising the dipolarity, and destroys the dipolarity (and thus the potential between the generator’s terminals). In turn, that shuts off the free flow of EM energy from the vacuum due to the asymmetry of the dipole charges. It simply destroys the asymmetry by destroying the dipole itself. Making the dipole turns on its inexhaustible flow of free EM energy. Destroying the dipole turns off its inexhaustible flow of free EM energy. The EM energy flow from a system dipolarity is never exhausted; it is only turned on in a circuit or system when the dipole is created or it is turned off when the dipole is destroyed. In the EE vernacular, a circuit “dies” because it kills its own source dipole. It does not “die” naturally, but because it “ran out of energy” by deliberately shutting off its own flow of free EM energy extracted from the vacuum by the source dipole. In the standard “symmetrized” circuit, the source of potential is deliberately destroyed by using half of the freely collected energy in the external circuit to do it. The system uses half its energy to “turn off” the system’s own free flow of its EM energy from the vacuum! The other half of the collected free energy in the circuit is dissipated in the external circuit’s loads and losses, which means – for a real circuit with real losses – less than half gets used to usefully power loads. Coefficient of performance (COP) is defined as the system’s total useful work or energy output, divided by only the operator’s input of energy (that he usually pays for). To again restore the dipole, one must again force the charges inside the generator back apart, in order to again form a dipolarity between the generator terminals. Once formed again, this dipolarity again produces the potential difference, which flows out of the terminals and through space along the external conductors, potentializing the entire external circuit. This “ratcheting” entropic action – of destroying the dipolar source of free energy flow from the vacuum, faster than the system powers its loads – is how a normal electrical power system operates by deliberate design. For “continuous” operation, one just takes the “limit” of the little ratcheting changes, and thus the system continuously destroys its free flow of energy from the vacuum faster than it powers its loads. Our engineers specifically design and build all our electrical power systems that insane way, and our professors blindly teach us that this is the only way it can be “reasonably” done. 15 Draft The impact of Lorentz-Symmetrical Power Systems A source of potential should never be used for anything except furnishing potential energy flow freely. Letting it also become a load while current is flowing, so it will be destroyed by half the collected free energy, is insane. Lorentz taught us to do it, so that the equations became much simpler and easier to solve. But that insane practice makes the circuit “self-symmetrizing”. It is universally used by our electrical power engineers. In a self-symmetrizing circuit, everything that goes up comes down, and such action is self-enforced by the circuit itself. Everything that gets turned on, gets turned off – selfenforced by the circuit itself. Eerily, our electrical engineers are all taught to use only those electrical power circuits which contain a built-in automatic “switch” to prevent free use of the EM energy from the vacuum to do useful free work. Instead, the systems all kill their own free flow of energy from the vacuum, so that the dipole then has to continually be restored by continually rotating the shaft of the generator (or continually dissipating chemical energy in a battery). The mathematicians who worship symmetry above all else as “elegant beauty” are esthetically very pleased with Lorentz symmetry in the circuits. The electrical engineers, however, are converted into folks who don’t even know how a circuit is “powered” in the first place. They also do not realize how their lovely symmetrical circuit is self-enforcing the entire energy crisis of the world. The poor consumer is totally deceived, trusting a scientific and engineering community that for more than a century has gone nuts over enforcing symmetry upon an asymmetrical application, and that is totally betraying him. But this way, the consumer also continues to pay through the nose – and pay dearly – to keep his lights on, his house warm, operate his car, etc. The great financial cartels of the world who control the great energy cartels are laughing all the way to the bank. Energy becomes a way to continually “squeeze” the consumer on the greatest scale in human history, and to milk the consumer dry. Make them believe they must almost always consume fuel to get energy. Sell them fuel to consume and tell them that its consumption is what makes EM energy in the external circuit to power the loads – when all EM energy is already free for the taking, and one should only be allowed to sell them the switching and control. It’s also the way to control entire nations (including scientific communities) by controlling their economies and their funding. It becomes a sophisticated but intense game which allows milking entire nations and largely controlling the nations of the world economically. And also allows control of the scientific community via controlling how its funding can be spent. That is the “energy game” foisted on an unsuspecting administration, legislative branch, general public, and the entire world, and initiated by J. P. Morgan in 1892 when he was on his way to suppressing Nikola Tesla. The entire scientific community leadership has acquiesced long since, and continues to teach the same garbage for “solving the energy problem”. It is the greatest con game in history, and it has extracted – and continues to extract – many trillions of dollars from the “milked” consumers worldwide. It has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of persons from starvation, from opportunistic 16 Draft diseases, from internal dictatorial regimes, etc. Not to mention being responsible for polluting and poisoning the biosphere, contributing to the rise of global warming, destroying species, impoverishing downtrodden nations and peoples, fomenting wars, and stopping much of the progress of science right in its tracks. Just now it threatens the very survival of Western Civilization. If the MidEast war explodes (and that seems imminent!), a sudden chop-off of the MidEast oil from the U.S. and Western Europe – plus increased terrorism damage to critical refineries and such – will be catastrophic. Almost certainly it will result in a severe economic collapse of the U.S. and Western Europe. If so, then with chaos and utter disorder in all our streets and cities, and in our government itself, that will present the opportunity necessary for our enemies to devastate us almost as they wish. Meanwhile, the deliberate symmetrization of our electrical power systems means the cartels continue to sell the consumer “the energy to power things”. As we stated, it’s the greatest rip-off and most diabolical con game in history. Sadly, the scientific community blindly ignores the terrible errors in CEM/EE that it propagates in all our universities, even though eminent scientists such as Feynman, Wheeler, Bunge etc. have pointed out many of these falsities. Science’s own data outside the CEM/EE model already falsifies the CEM/EE model a dozen times over. It follows that the scientific community itself bears at least some ethical responsibility for the deaths of all those people, the impoverishment of many nations, and the pollution and poisoning of the planet. Instead of solving its own horrid ethical problem of continuing to teach falsities in CEM/EE, the scientific community has also permitted and even nurtured the rise of professional skepticism, elevating it to prominence to blindly promote and maintain sheer dogma. Though not addressed in this paper, the same con game and blind adherence to the CEM/EE model is responsible for focusing and controlling medical science onto its “cut, burn, and drug” therapy. It denies the actual use and amplification of the body’s own EM healing mechanism itself – a method which forms and unleashes a specific force-free precursor field anti-disease engine for every disease or disorder engine present in the sickened person. Becker’s extraordinary work {30} clearly showed the influence of higher group symmetry electrodynamics upon differentiation and dedifferentiation of cells. In short, for cellular regeneration the body, its cells, etc. are caused to dedifferentiate” (time reverse) from the diseased or disordered state back to the healthy state, by higher group symmetry electrical means. Though not well understood at the time, the Prioré work in France in the 1960s and early 1970s was rigorously replicated and reported in the hard French medical literature {31}. The methodology demonstrated sensational cures of terminal diseases such as cancer and trypanosomiasis, hardening of the arteries, etc. in thousands of animal experiments (and in a few human experiments). For the healing mechanism itself, see an explanation by the present author {32}. 17 Draft Energy, Work, and Power How an EM Circuit or System is actually “Powered”. With present deliberately symmetrized circuits and systems, one has to continually crank the shaft of the generator, putting in mechanical energy. Our electrical engineers are taught that this is what actually produces the EM energy flowing out onto the external circuit, to power the loads. That is simply not true. Cranking the shaft of the generator does not power the attached circuit or loads! So what does it do? And why do we have to do it? What is it that is really furnishing the EM energy flow to the terminals of the generator and out along the external circuit, to potentialize the charges and “power” the circuit? To answer those questions rigorously, some additional background is required. Work and Mechanical Energy Input to the Generator Shaft First, one must recognize the rigorous definition of work. Work identically is the change of form of energy. Mere change of magnitude of energy in the same form, is not work but only energy transfer. But change of form of X joules of energy is X joules of work. Further, all the energy still remains after its form has been transduced (after work has been done). It can then be changed in form yet again, producing more work. A joule of energy can produce far more than one joule of work, if its form is changed several times and dissipation is not allowed to occur. Many textbooks still get lost in applying the work-energy theorem, and very few really make clear just what work is. Or energy either, for that matter. Or charge. Feynman {33} points out: "It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is." Also, we really do not know what force is! Feynman states {34}: "One of the most important characteristics of force is that it has a material origin, and this is not just a definition. … If you insist upon a precise definition of force, you will never get it!" Silverman {35} points out that we also do not really know what charge is! He states: "The theory of quantum electrodynamics provides a comprehensive and (as far as experiment has been able to confirm) correct description of the interaction of charged matter with electromagnetic fields. And yet, curiously enough, we do not know exactly what charge is, only what it does. Or, equally significantly, what it does not do." It should not be surprising that, in the face of not really knowing what energy, force, work, and charge really are, thermodynamicists have had appreciable problems with the concepts of production of entropy, production of negative entropy, and holding the entropy to the same level. 18 Draft As an example, many thermodynamics textbooks erroneously equate the change of any external parameter (such as the potential) of a system as constituting work a priori {36}. That is false. If the extra potential energy is input in the same form, no work is required, as we previously pointed out for mere change of voltage (mere regauging). If the extra potential energy is input in a different form, so that the form of the input energy must first be changed in order to increase the potential (and potential energy) of the circuit or system, then work is done to change the form of the input energy. The work is not performed in changing the magnitude of the external parameter (of the potential, and thus of the potential energy in the system) per se, but in suitably changing the form of the input energy so that the magnitude of the system potential can be changed. If the form of the input energy is already suitable, no work is required. That is why mere input of voltage alone does not require work. It increases the magnitude of the system voltage and the potential energy collection Vq, without having to change the form of the input energy. The mechanical input energy to the shaft of the generator is transduced in form to the magnetic field energy inside the generator as the rotor turns. This is a change of form of energy and requires work. And that is all that cranking the shaft of the generator does, and that is why it requires work to crank it. It is transduced in form (does the work) to get the necessary rotating magnetic field energy inside the generator. What the Rotating Magnetic Field Energy Does So what happens to the rotating magnetic field energy once it is produced inside the generator? It is dissipated on the charges right there inside the generator. It is dissipated as work upon the charges to separate them, forcing positive charges toward the positive terminal and negative charges toward the negative terminal. This action separates the opposite charges and thereby forms the source dipole inside the generator. And that is all the rotating magnetic field energy does. Again, it did nothing to power the external circuit or the load, but it did produced the source dipolarity – the broken symmetry that must occur to even produce EM field energy and EM field energy flow. At that point, the generator has already disposed of (1) its input mechanical shaft energy, and (2) the resulting rotating magnetic field energy. It has nothing remaining of the input mechanical shaft energy or of the transduced rotating magnetic field energy. It just has a formed dipole and dipolarity, and it has that “magical” broken symmetry that will absorb virtual energy from the virtual state vacuum and convert it to real, observable EM field energy (real photons) steadily emitted from the terminals of the generator to flow along though space outside the external conductors. Of course, if we leave the external circuit connected while those charges are being forced apart, and if current can flow, then forcibly separating the charges inside the generator must also force apart the charges out there in the circuit, between the positive line and the negative line. But if we just potentialize the generator with the external circuit “frozen”, we don’t have to “forcibly move all the electrons” out there in that external circuit. Instead, we can then just let the potential (the voltage difference) between the poles of the source dipolarity flow on out there onto the circuit, potentializing the charges (and thus 19 Draft the external circuit) and forming the external circuit dipolarity (voltage difference) freely and without “power” and work. Once that potential (voltage difference) is formed between the terminals of the dipole of the generator, the “flowing voltage” is comprised of a steady flow of EM energy, as shown by Whittaker in 1903 and 1904. In other words, if we will act intelligently and leave that dipole alone, and do not ram current back through the back emf of the generator to kill the dipole, then the “static” potential will sustain its set of free EM energy flows onto the external circuit indefinitely, without any dissipation in the generator potential at all. And the charges q in that external “potentialized” circuit will have freely “collected” and stored additional real potential energy Vq. Such a generator not allowing symmetrical destruction of its internal source dipole will continue to output real EM energy flow steadily, without any need for further shaft horsepower input! So now we do not need to keep cranking the shaft of the generator, or keep inputting any additional energy to those separated charges in that dipole between the terminals, just to keep that energy flow freely continuing. Sadly, our electrical engineers do not do things that way. They let the current flow freely during potentialization, thereby destroying the dipole inside the generator and doing it faster than they power the loads. So unwittingly – but deliberately – they design selfsuicidal systems which keep killing themselves and their free flow of potential energy. We really ought to be doing it the other way, and not destroying the source dipolarity and source dipolarity (potentialization). The Source of the Free Flow of EM Energy To uphold the conservation of energy law, there is a problem. Real observable EM energy is flowing out of that source dipolarity, but try as we will, our instruments cannot measure any observable energy flow into that source dipole, once it has been established and the magnetic field energy of the generator depleted. So, where does all the energy come from that is steadily and continuously flowing in that potential that is between the ends of the dipole? Real observable EM energy continuously flows on out in space along the conductors of the external circuit, once the dipole is formed and we are no longer cranking the shaft of the generator. We can measure that energy flow and prove it exists. Well, since the input energy is not observable but must be there, it must be virtual and from an external source. The only candidate is the local subquantal fluctuations of the vacuum. So it appears that disordered virtual energy from the vacuum fluctuations must be absorbed by the charge (that much is already known), and somehow the charge must reorder the virtual energy and coherently integrate it, re-emitting it as quanta of EM energy (as real observable photons). The source charges in that dipole have to be performing that functions. Is there anything in physics that tells us what the mere “separation of opposite charges” does to accept and transduce a hidden virtual state energy input into observable form? 20 Draft Actually, the basis for it has been proven in physics now for nearly a half century. But its impact has not yet made it across the university campus from the physics department to the electrical engineering department. Nor have the electrical engineering departments revised their terribly flawed old model, riddled with falsities, to account for that discovery half a century ago. In 1957 the broken symmetry of opposite charges was proven by Wu {37} and her colleagues, quickly following its theoretical prediction by Lee and Yang {38}. So revolutionary was this dramatic change in physics, that with unprecedented speed the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Prize to Lee and Yang in that same year (Dec. 1957) that Wu et al. proved broken symmetry (back in February). What Broken Symmetry of Opposite Charges Means for a Dipole As stated, among other things, broken symmetry means that “something virtual has become observable”. It means that the dipolarity’s source charges continually absorb subquantal energy from the virtual state fluctuations of the seething vacuum, reorder it, coherently integrate it to the quantum level, and abruptly decay back to the starting lower level by emitting a real, observable photon. Since the charge continues to absorb virtual energy from the vacuum, the process iterates over and over. The source dipole thus continually emits a stream of real observable photons, whose energy has been transduced from the seething virtual energy of the active vacuum. But that dipolarity has also violated the hoary old second law of thermodynamics, because it continuously produces negative entropy. It consumes positive entropy of the disordered virtual state vacuum flux, transduces it to ordered real EM energy, and emits the energy as real honest-to-God and usable EM energy – real photons, producing real EM fields and potentials and continuously replenishing them at the speed of light. In short, it continuously produces negative entropy in the observable state and consumes positive entropy in the virtual state. So its energy input is there in virtual state form, sufficient to provide its observable EM energy output. It obeys the conservation of energy law after all, but across the quantum boundary between virtual and observable states. The Charge Is a True Maxwell’s Demon and a True Feynman’s Ratchet {39} (Insert: charge absorbs a totally ordered individual virtual particle from the vacuum. This is a true Maxwell’s Demon process. Each of these source charges acts as a working example of the controversial “Feynman ratchet” {40, 41}, continually ratcheting up virtual energy from the vacuum into real observable EM energy emission (real observable photon emission). The reason this startling Feynman ratchet can work is that the absorbed disordered virtual state input energy is first converted to ordered mass energy of the absorbing charge, since mass (and its alternate face as mass-energy) is already unitary. This conversion of disordered virtual photon energy into ordered differentials of massenergy is the “magic mechanism” by which automatic reordering (negative entropy) occurs in the absorbed virtual state energy itself. 21 Draft The now-ordered differentials of mass-energy of the charges do coherently integrate to the next quantum level, since the mass is unitary. When that level is reached, the nowquantally excited charged particle will then suddenly decay by real photon emission, from the zitterbewegung (rapid oscillatory motion) of the charge. The mechanism then iterates over and over, and voila! Each lowly charge involved in a dipolarity has become a Feynman ratchet {42}, converting its “random statistical virtual energy absorptions” into real, organized photon energy and continuously producing negative entropy at the observable level while consuming positive entropy of the virtual level. This process rigorously does constitute a true Feynman ratchet. Again, it also totally falsifies the present second law of thermodynamics, since every charge in the universe is doing it and has been doing it for the entire life of that charge – often since the beginning of the universe some 13.7 billion years ago. With this automatic reordering, the ratcheting action by the charge suddenly becomes doable and eminently practical. The continually emitted observable photons establish the deterministic external associated macroscopic EM fields and potentials of the charges, at light speed, and continually replenish them at light speed {43}. The macroscopic EM fields and potentials are deterministic at any radial point as a function of the radial distance of that point from the source charge. The Ratcheting Source Charge Continuously Produces Negative Entropy The source charge is actually the first proposed physical example of the theoretical proof by Evans and Rondoni {44} that nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) systems producing continuous negative entropy are permissible. The source charge is the first known example of such a NESS system that continuously consumes positive entropy of the virtual state and produces negative entropy of the observable state, in violation of the second law of thermodynamics. The simple ratcheting mechanism of the charge totally reorders absorbed disordered virtual state energy, which then serially integrates to quantum level so that decay (reset of the ratchet) occurs by emission of a real observable photon. Iteration of the ratcheting process gives continual emission of observable photons, with no observable energy input. We also point out that, in modern physics the classical “isolated” charge is not isolated at all. Instead, it polarizes its surrounding vacuum, so that around it there form virtual charges of opposite sign. Hence the classical “isolated” charge is actually a special dipolar ensemble. As such, it must exhibit the broken symmetry of opposite charges. Indeed, when we “measure” an individual charge, we are looking at a “bare charge” in the middle, through a Faraday screen of opposite virtual state charges surrounding it {45}. In fact, the bare charge is infinite (and thus involves infinite energy as well), as is the surrounding opposite charge of the vacuum (which also involves infinite energy). From this viewpoint alone, the charge can continuously and indefinitely emit real EM energy at a steady and continuous rate, and never run down or diminish in any finite length of time. One actually observes the difference between the two infinite charges – the bare charge in the middle and the screening charge of opposite sign surrounding that bare charge. Their 22 Draft difference is finite. That finite difference is the textbook value of the charge of the “isolated” charged particle. Van Flandern’s Beautiful Analogy of the Internal Dynamics of a Static Field A static field or potential is not like a “frozen” waterfall, as the CEM/EE textbooks imply. Instead, using Van Flandern’s beautiful analogy, a static field or potential is like an “unfrozen” waterfall. Specifically, Van Flandern states {43}: “To retain causality, we must distinguish two distinct meanings of the term ‘static’. One meaning is unchanging in the sense of no moving parts. The other meaning is sameness from moment to moment by continual replacement of all moving parts. We can visualize this difference by thinking of a waterfall. A frozen waterfall is static in the first sense, and a flowing waterfall is static in the second sense. Both are essentially the same at every moment, yet the latter has moving parts capable of transferring momentum, and is made of entities that propagate. … So are … fields for a rigid, stationary source frozen, or are they continually regenerated? Causality seems to require the latter.” In recognizing the internal energy flows comprising a field or potential, one has just met the 1957 proof of the Whittaker work {4}, showing that any EM field and potential is an ongoing set of EM energy flows (originating from the source charges). In other words, every EM field or potential is already a continuous set of ongoing energy flows. It is a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) system, freely receiving the necessary input energy from the virtual state vacuum environment of the source charge. This picture of the static field is totally missing from the CEM/EE model and textbooks, but it is true nonetheless. Implications of the Field and Potential as Ongoing Free Energy Flows It has startling implications. All EM energy occurs as field energy or potential energy. Hence all EM energy occurs in ubiquitous free flows of usable EM energy already extracted and transduced from the seething vacuum, free for the taking and using. Every EM system ever built has been – and is – “powered” by EM energy extracted directly from the seething vacuum by the dipolarity charges in the external source. If we would just pay to make the source dipole once, then let it alone and never allow it to be destroyed again, it would continually furnish us free energy flow from the vacuum, in usable form, from now till the end of time. We do not have to discover how to extract the vacuum energy ourselves! Every charge in the universe already does it for us, absolutely freely. Just assemble some charge or make a dipole (one will have to pay a little bit once for that). That beast will then pour out free, usable EM energy from the vacuum forever, if we just let it alone and do not let our silly circuits destroy it by using half their freely collected potential energy to do so. And then we have learn how to properly utilize that free flow of EM energy. Modern CEM/EE has rather resoundingly failed to do it. 23 Draft Asymmetrical Regauging The Inexplicable Aberration of Lorentz-Symmetrical Electrical Power Circuits How insane would we think a petroleum engineer is, if he insisted on diverting half the collected oil from a big free gusher, and then continually used the diverted half of the oil to provide power to do nothing but turn the valve off and cut off the gusher’s flow? In that case the oil companies would have to use some additional oil (or other input energy) to keep forcibly reopening that valve. The company itself would have to continually pay to keep continually overpowering and reversing the continual closing of the valve! And they would have to pay more than the remaining half of the oil the silly petroleum engineer did not divert. So they would be using more energy or oil than the remaining energy or oil that resulted. Their coefficient of performance (COP) for obtaining oil from a free gusher would be the useful output of oil (the diverted half of the oil) divided by the companies’ forced input of oil. So their self-limited COP would always be COP < 1.0. That ridiculous COP is not the achievable COP of the oil well gusher! Instead, it is the self-limited and crazy COP deliberately designed and enforced by the system itself. Such a petroleum engineer would obviously be branded a raving lunatic and sent packing. So why do all our electrical power engineers and electrical power generating companies do precisely the same kind of thing, and continue to do it year after year? And why does our scientific community – the National Association of Science, National Science Foundation, National Academy of Engineers, Department of Energy, universities, great national laboratories, etc. – keep its collective head firmly buried in the sand, doing nothing at all about such an insane and universal practice? Not only is it not corrected, but it also is not even recognized and discussed! In all our universities, that type of “insane use of the EM circuitry” is exactly what we have been taught to do for any EM circuit we ourselves build or use. And that is what our engineers are taught to build into every electrical power system, including our frightfully expensive and highly vulnerable national centralized electrical power system. Asymmetrical Regauging Involves Free Potentialization So the first requirement for an overunity EM system is that it must violate the Lorentz symmetry, for at least a significant fraction of the time. In that case, the Lorentz-invariant equations in the textbook as the CEM/EE model cannot and will not describe the operation of the system {46}. Specifically, the circuit will asymmetrically regauge, which means allowing the emergence of a net free force in addition to the absorption of excess free potential energy. Then that new net free force field acts with the freely received regauging potential energy behind it. The potential energy is not “locked up as stress of the system”, but can be utilized. The net free regauging field can dissipate that free excess potential energy to drive electrons freely through the loads, giving some “free powering” of the loads. But if we let the dissipated excess potential energy simultaneously drive all the spent electrons back through the back emf of the generator, we destroy the source dipolarity 24 Draft faster than the loads are freely powered. So then we have to pay to keep cranking the shaft of the generator, and we always have to crank it harder and faster than the “suicidal” symmetricized circuit can “power the external loads”. In short, by the standard and required design of our circuits and systems themselves, we can only get COP< 1.0 from the converted free vacuum energy, even though an enormous amount is there in the circuit and involved. So to get COP > 1.0, if we self-limit circuits so they cannot do it from the vacuum energy alone, then we have to additionally use extra “conventional” energy input such as solar radiation to a solar cell array, the wind to a windmill-cranking of the generator shaft, the river’s current for the hydro turbine cranking of the generator shaft, etc. Asymmetrical Example The Magnetic Wankel Engine For magnetic circuits, a similar situation exists in that the Lorentz symmetry condition must be violated, if we are to achieve COP>1.0. Fortunately, for some permanent magnet approaches it is much simpler than for electrical circuits. E.g., the Takahashi magnetic Wankel engine {47} can readily be built by any competent electrical engineering department, by paying particular attention to the precision construction and precision machining required. It is essentially a rail gun or linear magnetic motor wrapped around almost in a complete circle but not quite. So its back mmf region is reduced to a very short gap distance between the ends of the rail gun, and the time required for the rotor magnet to pass through that back mmf region is very short. That is, by its physical construction the magnetic Wankel reduces the interaction of its back mmf region to a very short time out of each cycle. The magnetic Wankel then uses a very simple mechanism to momentarily kill that back mmf during its very short interaction time, and do it almost “for free”. One places a pole piece (shaped like an inverted T) above that little gap where the back mmf is. And one puts a very small trickle current flowing in a coil with that polepiece. Now, if the little trickle current were suddenly increased in the coil, the back mmf in that little gap region would be momentarily overpowered and reversed by the sudden appearance of an extra magnetic field. The trick is to momentarily get that “sudden extra current” for free or nearly so, just long enough for the rotor magnet to pass through that modified “back mmf” region when the net back mmf is momentarily zero. In the operation of the engine, as the rotor magnet starts and drives around the permanent magnet rail gun section, it continually and freely accelerates, gaining free angular momentum. Note specifically that this angular momentum is “collected” from the ongoing continuous energy flow that assists the rotation in the forward mmf region. But facing the rotor is that approaching gap region, where if nothing is done the back mmf will simply take back all that free angular momentum, killing any “free rotational energy” effect. If the back mmf region is not suddenly modified, the cycle can be 25 Draft repeated as often as one wishes, and no net extra “free usable energy” will ever be achieved. Obviously we need to precisely and momentarily reduce or eliminate (or even reverse) that back mmf in the gap region, while that rotor magnet passes through the gap. So just as the rotor magnet starts entering that region, one sharply breaks the current in the little coil of the pole piece. That abruptly induces a known Lenz law effect {48}. A very sudden and fairly large momentary surge of the current in the same direction will freely occur, as is well known (including in electrical engineering). So just as the rotor magnet starts through the back mmf (where all its accumulated free drive energy from accelerating around to that point would normally have to be paid back), suddenly the back mmf is gone or even reversed into another forward mmf, momentarily. And so the rotor passes through in a momentary net zero back emf, or even in a momentary extra and free forward mmf! The rotor completes its rotation without ever having to “pay back” the free angular momentum it accumulated in its rail gun drive portion. With adroit design, it can even continue to gain additional free rotational energy even in this former “back mmf” region. This asymmetrical operation of the magnetic circuit violates the standard CEM/EE assumption of Lorentz symmetry and a conservative field – i.e., it violates the standard assumption that the net work done around the complete circuit is zero. Putting it mathematically, it violates the assumption that for any simple closed curve C, the line integral of F·ds around that closed curve is C F ds 0 [1] Instead, now it becomes C [2] F ds > 0 Hence the magnetic Wankel engine will self-rotate and power its own appreciable shaft load simultaneously. With this first schema, we only have to pay for that tiny bit of trickle current and for some efficient timing and switching. Making the Magnetic Wankel Engine “Self-Powering”. Once a magnetic Wankel model is worked out properly and successfully operating at COP > 1.0, it is simple to make it completely self-powering. Merely hang a tiny little generator on the shaft as a small part of the output load that is driven. Let that little generator then furnish the required electrical power to that small “trickle current and switching circuit”, once the machine is in motion and running at speed. This subtracts only a little bit of the large output energy, leaving the remainder to power a slightly smaller but still very substantial load. Then, once in stable operation, the unit is switched into the completely self-powering mode. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it is not violating either physics or thermodynamics, once one understands that any EM field and potential is already a set of free ongoing energy flows from the vacuum, extracted and transduced freely by the 26 Draft associated source charge(s). We have simply converted the system to a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) system freely receiving excess energy from its active vacuum environment, and freely dissipating that energy to rotate itself and power loads. It’s analogous to discovering and using a new kind of “solar radiation energy” that is universally everywhere in the environment, and always available. Why There Are No Magnetic Wankel Engines on the Market One must understand that all of us have a dramatic appointment with the Japanese Yakuza {49} in our near future. The Yakuza are playing a very substantial and hidden role in the present asymmetrical war to destroy the U.S. and the Western World {50}. It behooves the Yakuza to prevent the U.S. from obtaining cheap clean “energy from the vacuum” solutions, such as the Takahashi magnetic Wankel engine. One of their goals is to completely hamstring the national centralized electrical power system so that it never functions again. With the power system wiped out, it is planned that this will generate a very quick and catastrophic economic collapse of the United Stated and the Western World. If the U.S. were rapidly developing and deploying cheap clean decentralized electrical power systems, fuel-free, powering themselves and their loads from the vacuum, then this rapid replacement of the present centralized system would be ongoing. Hence the strategic destruction plan for economic collapse of the U.S. might be nullified. Further, if electrical engineering departments in the U.S. were to build successful magnetic Wankel engines, the resulting furor from demonstration and replication of successful free energy devices would revolutionize and change U.S. electrical power engineering. It would lead to dramatic, sudden development and massive deployment of decentralized free energy-from-the-vacuum electrical power systems. To prevent that from happening, the Japanese Yakuza suppressed the magnetic Wankel engine {51}, along with the Kawai motor {52}, since these two engines could be rather easily replicated by electrical engineering departments. (Machining etc. and precision construction are most of the problems involved; in the case of the Kawai motor, one must start with a high efficiency magnetic motor, having efficiency of 70% or 80%. The COP will be about double the efficiency, so good application of the Kawai process on those motors will yield COP = 1.4 and 1.6, respectively). One of the goals of the Yakuza is to prevent the West from realizing such things and from rapidly obtaining fuel-free, selfpowering electrical power systems. The Yakuza are one of the major international “terrorist” groups planning to do some serious interference with our centralized electrical power system in the near future, including – if possible – causing a catastrophic economic collapse of the U.S. and Western World. Correcting Thermodynamics Dealing with the Old Second Law of Thermodynamics For a humorous but true opener: Presently our electrical power engineers use and think only positive energy. If we incorporate and use both negative energy and positive energy, 27 Draft then we can indeed have as much positive energy as we wish, if we merely produce the same amount of negative energy simultaneously. E.g., quoting Hawking {53}: “In the case of a universe that is approximately uniform in space, one can show that [its] negative gravitational energy exactly cancels the positive energy represented by the matter. So the total energy of the universe is zero. …now twice zero is also zero. Thus the universe can double the amount of positive matter energy and also double the negative gravitational energy without violation of the conservation of energy.” …"It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch." Bedini’s very sharp gradient pulses (spikes) actually produce the Lenz law effect involving a rush of positive energy being dissipated, but also produces a corresponding and simultaneous rush of Dirac Sea holes (negative mass-energy electrons) in the opposite directions (i.e., negative energy). So with very sharp “pulses” and proper usage of the resulting positive-energy and negative-energy effects in the circuit, one can in fact have that “free lunch” referred to by Hawking, as well as an unending free lunch by simply repeating the process continually. Contrary to all our scientific pundits citing the Second Law as preventing it, one can indeed “eat one’s cake and have it” too – if the cake is freely replaced as fast as it is consumed. So it just requires a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) system continuously receiving its input energy freely from the vacuum. And contrary to most university teachings, quite a few violations of the hoary old second law of thermodynamics are already well known and recognized by nonequilibrium thermodynamicists themselves. E.g., in an important book on modern thermodynamics of dissipative systems, Kondepudi and Prigogine {54} list areas already known and accepted to violate the second law of thermodynamics. One such area is simply a sharp gradient {55}. Other violations of the second law – again, as is well-known and recognized – are in the area of statistical fluctuations in a statistical system already in equilibrium {56}. Any departure from equilibrium lowers the system entropy, hence is a negative entropy operation violating the present old second “half-law”. Briefly, the present second law of thermodynamics can be written as dS ≥ 0 [3] This specifically rules out the occurrence of negative entropy. That is, it specifically excludes the production of negative entropy, which (if it happened) would be dS < 0 [4]. Any proven exception to the present second law (equation [3]) must involve the production of negative entropy, as given by equation [4]. Since specific examples producing equation [4] in violation of equation [3] are already proven, then the old second law has already long been falsified, or reduced to the special case where a permissible reaction obeying equation [4] does not occur after the time that consideration arbitrarily begins! In a practical EM circuit, simply potentializing the circuit while current is momentarily halted is a true negative entropy operation violating (falsifying) the flawed old second law. 28 Draft Starting with any system in equilibrium, the system is already at its state of “maximum entropy”. In order to produce any further entropy the system must first depart from equilibrium, thereby lowering its entropy. And that departure from equilibrium is a negative entropy operation, completely violating the present second law of equilibrium thermodynamics. But it means that the system has taken on extra, usable, ordered energy which now can be dissipated to produce additional entropy as the system returns or decays back to equilibrium. In short, the system has simply been “potentialized”, which is a negative entropy operation a priori. The Present Second Law of Thermodynamics Is a “Half-Law” So for any system ever having been in equilibrium, the present old “half-law” known as the second law has always been an oxymoron, implicitly assuming that its own contradiction has previously occurred (to move the system out of its equilibrium condition) but deliberately not accounting that assumed negative entropy action. It has also assumed that no other negative entropy operations can occur during the subsequent decay of the previously excited (disequilibrium) state. The old second law has thus been based on assumptions that are long since rigorously falsified by direct experiment. So, properly used, a known violation of the second law – a sharp gradient, as evoked judiciously and precisely in the magnetic Wankel engine – can indeed allow the continual violation of the second law of thermodynamics. We encounter no quarrel here from knowledgeable leading nonequilibrium thermodynamicists. We do need suitable revision and extension of the falsified (incomplete) old second law! Violations of the old law are already well-known and recognized in nonequilibrium thermodynamics of dissipative systems. The second law merely states that the entropy of a system must either remain the same or increase, so its demonstrated experimental violations mean that the system’s entropy can also decrease. The old second law neglects to account for the implicitly assumed previous negative entropy operation on an equilibrium system to move it away from equilibrium and thus to a state of lower entropy. The old second law simply assumes a subsequent decay from that previously excited state, and then only via entropy-producing reactions, with no additional negative entropy operations considered or allowed. In the magnetic Wankel engine (and anywhere else), a permissible second-law violating process, if properly used and applied, can and will lead to the direct production in the system of negative entropy. As in the magnetic Wankel engine, a system judiciously and selectively violating the second law by a known and proven mechanism can produce such negative entropy controllably and on order. That is precisely what the Magnetic Wankel engine does. And it can be successfully built by any university electrical engineering department or physics department. Isn’t it strange that the university physics departments and electrical engineering departments refuse to fund and allow doctoral candidates and young post doctoral scientists to look into such matters, even though nonequilibrium thermodynamics already prescribes and tolerates such systems? 29 Draft Final Thoughts Recommendations to University Electrical Engineering Departments 1. Build and test a magnetic Wankel engine. These days we are strongly recommending to university physics departments and electrical engineering departments that they fund and allow doctoral candidates and post doctoral scientists to build and adjust a magnetic Wankel engine, to prove that energy from the vacuum can be put to performing useful free work. Sooner or later one of the universities is going to allow building and testing such a unit in the name of science. Publication of the successful results should hopefully generate a rush of experimental replications and substantiations. If so, then that should cause – at long last – a very rapid correction and extension to the hoary old seriously flawed CEM/EE model now being so universally taught. Presently it seems that nothing else short of that will get it done. 2. Perform “negative resonance absorption of the medium” experiments. We also strongly recommend to those university departments that they closely examine the area of physics known as negative resonance absorption of the medium (NRAM) {57}. Here they will confront a tremendous issue. When one inputs EM energy at a given frequency (usually chosen as IR or UV) to a proper absorbing and re-radiating medium whose “charged particles” are sized to be self-resonant at the input frequency, a very novel effect occurs. To a casual view the medium absorbs more energy than is calculated to be input by normal Poynting energy flow calculations. That’s because the force field in electrodynamics is normally defined in terms of the interaction of (the freely flowing set of force-free energy flows comprising the real field in space with) a fixed static unit point charge. It is not adequately defined at all for interaction with a synchronized self-resonant charge. The self-resonant charge sweeps out a much greater reaction cross section in the incoming force free (precursor) EM energy flow, thereby absorbing additional energy in the absorbing mass system as compared to the standard Poynting calculation where the same particles are static. At any rate, the NRAM process produces a COP = 18, and it has been replicated numerous times at most major universities having a good optical physics section. It’s been in the literature since 1967 or so, but its tremendous impact on the naïve assumptions of present electrical power engineering has been completely ignored. So any physics or EE or optical department wishing to perform a COP>1.0 experiment, one already proven and accepted in physics, need only perform an NRAM experiment or series of them, calculating the medium’s COP. We have previously explained exactly where the excess EM energy input comes from and the interactions by which it is obtained and used {58}. 30 Draft In closing, we pay homage once again to Tesla’s foresight, which was so soundly suppressed by J. P. Morgan. Quoting Tesla: “Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels.". And again, speaking to the AIEE {59}: "Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe. This idea is not novel... We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians...Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic – and this we know it is, for certain – then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature." In Conclusion We spoke considerably of electric charges and dipoles. The reader should recall also that a “magnetic pole” is just a “magnetic charge”. So a magnetic dipole comes under the same discussion of broken symmetry as does the electrical dipole. We hope this discussion sheds a little more light on exactly what one is doing when one is experimenting toward COP > 1.0 systems freely using excess energy from the vacuum. The energy from the vacuum is already extracted and available in any and every EM circuit; all the charges q already take care of doing that. The only major barrier to COP > 1.0 electrical power systems is the inane use of Lorentzsymmetric circuitry and the inexplicable scientific mindset that asymmetrical circuitry and operation shall not be permitted. One is thus trying to overcome that inane Lorentz symmetry in the systems and circuits we have all been taught to unwittingly enforce. Unless it breaks that Lorentz symmetry, then no system will achieve COP > 1.0 with free energy from the vacuum, since the silly circuit itself self-enforces Lorentz symmetry and prevents it. With the standard circuit, one is already one’s own “worst enemy” as far as usable energy is concerned. And we strongly emphasize that the asymmetric systems we are trying to develop do not even exist in the standard electrical engineering model. The very first requirement in COP>1.0 energy-from-the-vacuum systems is that they must violate electrical engineering! We have always paid – and are still paying – the electric power company to engage in a giant wrestling match inside its generators and deliberately lose. Our own electrical engineers have not even known it. They have not even known (nor do they know today) what really powers an electrical circuit – though all their textbooks purport to teach that. Quite simply the textbooks are wrong in how they proclaim the EM system is powered. 31 Draft This kind of idiosyncrasy led Bunge to wryly remark {60}: "...it is not usually acknowledged that electrodynamics, both classical and quantal, are in a sad state." With the escalating energy crisis, such Lorentz symmetric approaches must be changed once and for all, and the ubiquitous role of energy from the vacuum must be recognized. Else this nation is likely to soon experience a catastrophic economic failure, based on the escalating costs of energy alone. Particularly since terrorists can easily disable our terribly vulnerable centralized electrical power system – or very substantial portions of it. Sadly, it doesn’t appear that the scientific community itself will correct the flawed CEM/EE model and symmetrical power circuits practices. Nor will it graciously allow its graduate students and post doctoral scientists to do it. This is not unprecedented. More than 600 successful cold fusion experiments, by various skilled researchers in multiple labs in multiple nations, have been performed. Yet the scientific community itself still insists cold fusion is not real – because it doesn’t obey hot fusion’s assumptions! So free energy systems will likely have to be developed, it seems, by the independent inventors. In that case, it will be necessary to get thousands of such systems on the market and working, before the scientific community will begrudgingly admit it. It will have to be a repetition of the Ovshinsky amorphous semiconductor {61}. Ovshinsky was slandered, libeled, and ridiculed by the scientific community unmercifully, because “everybody knew a semiconductor has to be crystalline” {62}. Then the Japanese funded Ovshinsky, and the rest is history. One fine day the U.S. scientific pundits awoke to find many thousands of Xerox machines using Ovshinsky amorphous semiconductors, and they were performing magnificently. Of course no one ever apologized for the savaging of Ovshinsky. Instead, quietly some graduate students and post doctoral scientists were permitted to work in the area and publish their results in leading journals. Ovshinsky’s semiconductors were a commercial success and found wide application. The amorphous semiconductors were just “quietly accepted”. On the bright side for overunity electrical power systems, several inventors do have legitimate COP > 1.0 systems that with relatively small funding and a bit more work could be produced and placed on the world market. Two or three of those inventors have at least the minimum funding required, and are heading quietly in that direction. Also, a small group of physicists now is actively seeking violations of Lorentz symmetry and Lorentz invariance, both theoretically and experimentally {63}. That work may eventually lead to challenging the tremendous grip on physics that Lorentz invariant equations have today. But so far it is still a small movement, but it is at least tolerated by the scientific community and it continues. Meanwhile, all the powerful financial cartels, industrial cartels – and yes, scientific cartels – are adamantly set on almost ruthlessly preventing cheap clean EM energy from the vacuum from being developed. They do not wish to see the present energy system changed, since the “selling of energy” and its ancillary operations is a multi-trillion dollar business. And so are the resulting pollution of the biosphere, destruction of species, and global warming by unleashing large amounts of hydrocarbon combustion byproducts. 32 Draft The failure of our scientific community to actively pursue energy from the vacuum by reincorporating Maxwell’s asymmetrical systems into the present horribly mutilated electrical engineering model by dramatically revising the model, is indeed sad, particularly since Whittaker already showed us more than a century ago that all EM energy occurs in flows that are free for the taking, had we only recognized it. Indeed, to borrow a phrase from Nikola Tesla {64}: “… I do not hesitate to say that in a short time it will be recognized as one of the most remarkable and inexplicable aberrations of the scientific mind which has ever been recorded in history." So the problem reduces to (1) quickly correcting the present sadly flawed old electrical engineering model and implementing a new CEM/EE model in all our EE departments and textbooks, and (2) quickly learning how to build effective Lorentz asymmetric circuits, which in turn produce nonconservative fields and COP > 1.0. To permanently and quickly solve the energy crisis forever, all we have to do is to understand what is involved in more efficiently and freely accepting the immensely available free EM energy that nature already freely offers.

Foreword to the second edition was by Niven, who finished the work as Maxwell had dramatically rewritten the first nine chapters, much new matter added and the former contents rearranged and simplified. Maxwell died before finishing the rest of the second edition. The rest of the second edition is therefore largely a reprint from the first edition. The third edition edited by J. J. Thomson was published in 1892, by Oxford University Press, and later was published unabridged, Dover Publications, New York, 1954. J. J. Thomson finished the publication of the third edition, and wrote a "Supplementary Volume" with his notes. A summary of Maxwell's equations are given in Vol. II, Chapter IX of the third edition. However, Maxwell had gone (in his second edition) to some pains to reduce the quaternion expressions himself, and not require the students to know the calculus of quaternions (so stated on p. 257). We note that Maxwell did not finish the second edition, but died before its completion. He actually had no hand at all in the third edition as to any changes. The Second edition later finished by Niven by simply adding the remaining material from the previous first edition approved by Maxwell.

The authors do not find a Feynman ratchet they consider viable, but they never considered the source charge. The output of the source charge need not be small, but can be easily measured. And the source charge really does reorder the input disordered subquantal energy from the vacuum fluctuations, and coherently integrate it into the emission of real observable photons. For appreciable charge or a substantial dipole, the output is easily measured with ordinary EM instruments, but no instrument will measure any input. So either one must discard the conservation of energy law, or else one must discard the present too-restrictive second law of thermodynamics, and extend it to allow production of negative entropy. 43. Particularly see Tom Van Flandern, “The speed of gravity – What the experiments say,” Phys. Lett. A, Vol. 250, Dec. 21, 1998, p.8-9 for a beautiful “flowing waterfall” analogy of the type system (a nonequilibrium steady state system) that a static field or static potential actually is. 44. D. J. Evans and Lamberto Rondoni, "Comments on the Entropy of Nonequilibrium Steady States," J. Stat. Phys., 109(3-4), Nov. 2002, p. 895-920. 45. For a beautiful and simple exposé of the infinite bare charge and its infinite screening charge of opposite sign, see Steven Weinberg, Dreams of a Final Theory, Vintage Books, Random House, 1993, p. 109-110. 46. This causes the single greatest problem and a giant barrier for free energy inventors and researchers. In seeking funding, the venture capitalist group always brings in expert electrical engineers, who will not even hear of any other model for electrical power system functioning. Hence in their model, even when they themselves directly measure overunity, they consider it is “false instrument reading” or some such. In no way will they even accept COP>1.0 by simple asymmetrical regauging. The U.S. Patent Office also uses electrical engineers for its analysis of electrical power system patent applications. Same problem, same response. The greatest energy problem today, as it has always been, is the ubiquitous application of the terribly flawed old CEM/EE model. The net effect is that CEM/EE continuously suppresses COP>1.0 electrical power systems at all levels and in all occupations and exchanges. 47. For details, see (a) T.E. Bearden, "The Master Principle of EM Overunity and the Japanese Overunity Engines," Infinite Energy, 1(5&6), Nov. 1995-Feb. 1996, p. 38-55; (b) ------ “The 37 Draft Master Principle of Overunity and the Japanese Overunity Engines: A New Pearl Harbor?" and (c) see www.cheniere.org/misc/wankel.htm . 48. Specifically, a small emf across the coil is forcing the current through the coil, generating a weak magnetic field in the pole piece. When we suddenly break the circuit to that coil, we induce a sharp emf that is proportional to (N)(dV/dt, where N is the number of turns of wire on the coil, V is the voltage drop across the coil, and dV/dt is the time-rate-of-change of the voltage and therefore of the emf. For a sharp break (i.e., a small dt), dV/dt is quite large momentarily. This sudden large emf increase momentarily and dramatically increases the current in the same direction (i.e., so as to try to prevent the change). This sudden surge of current generates a sudden large magnetic field in the coil, opposing the change of the ongoing magnetic field from the breaking of the circuit. Lenz’s law simply states that the current surge is such as to oppose the attempted change. 49. For some indications of the power and richness of the Japanese Yakuza, see (a) Brian Bremner, "How the Mob burned the Banks: The Yakuza is at the center of the $350 billion badloan scandal." Business Week, Jan. 29, 1996, p. 42-43, 46-47. (b) Michael Hirsh and Hideko Takayama, "Big Bang or Bust?" Newsweek, Sept. 1, 1997, p. 44-45. Japan's banks loaned billions to Yakuza-affiliated real-estate speculators. As a result, they were literally too terrified to collect on the $300-600 billion in bad debt that ensnared the banking system. (c) David E. Kaplan and Alec Dubro, Yakuza: Japan’s Criminal Underworld (Expanded Edition), University of California Press, 2003; (d) Peter B. E. Hill, The Japanese Mafia: Yakuza, Law, and the State, Oxford University Press, 2003. 50.

Bearden, “Scalar Electromagnetic Weapons and their Terrorist Use: Immediate Strategic Aspects of the Asymmetric War on the U.S.” Oct. 13, 2004, initial draft available on www.cheniere.org . 51. For information on the Takahashi magnetic Wankel engine, see David Scott, "Magnetic "Wankel" for electric cars," Popular Science magazine, June 1979, p. 90-91. The Wankel design was lighter and smaller than a gas engine of the same power, and it was a pygmy when compared to other electric engines of similar power. The prototype 45-hp unit weighed 155 pounds compared to 440 pounds for a comparable electric motor. The rotary engine was compact enough to fit inside a two-foot cube. The engine was in development by Kure Tekko, a sizable firm that supplied auto parts to Toyo Kogyo, the Mazda maker. It was actually placed in a Mazda car and tested. 52. Teruo Kawai, "Motive Power Generating Device," U.S. Patent No. 5,436,518. Jul. 25, 1995. A self-powering version of the Kawai engine was also developed in Japan. Kawai’s release of it and our (CTEC’s) production and marketing of it were suppressed in 1996 right here in Huntsville, Alabama by the Japanese Yakuza, in my physical presence and that of my Board of Directors. Otherwise, we would have placed Kawai self-powering engines on the world market in mid-1997. 53. Stephen D. Hawking, A Brief History of Time, Bantam, 1998 54.

Several of these areas permitting violation of the second law of equilibrium thermodynamics are given on p. 459. (b) For theoretical proof that a physical system is permitted to produce continuous negative entropy in violation of the old second law, see D. J. Evans and Lamberto Rondoni, "Comments on the Entropy of Nonequilibrium Steady States," J. Stat. Phys., 109(3-4), Nov. 2002, p. 895-920. 38 Draft 55. And Bedini’s patented battery chargers, using mostly negative energy to charge the batteries, directly invoke Hawking’s statement that the universe is the ultimate free lunch. The local vacuum gladly inserts additional negative energy for free, when he “pops” the batteries with his sharp negative energy gradient. Negative energy charges the battery by connecting it “backwards” momentarily. Then by merely reversing the battery leads back to normal, in a separate circuit, the battery calmly discharges positive energy into that circuit, keeping the electrical engineers happy and their measurement instruments able to measure the overall “free lunch” effects. We expect to see his charges on the market in the very near future, since they have already been through independent testing and also UL laboratory testing so they can be produced and sold legally. 56.

Under nonlinear conditions, a particle can absorb more energy than is in the light incident on it. Metallic particles at ultraviolet frequencies are one class of such particles and insulating particles at infrared frequencies are another. See also (b) H. Paul and R. Fischer, {Comment on “How can a particle absorb more than the light incident on it?’},” Am. J. Phys., 51(4), Apr. 1983, p. 327. The Bohren experiment is repeatable and produces COP = 18.

Well, “everybody” didn’t know after all, and “everybody” was wrong, as it turned out. Today the effect by which a specific glassy thin film switches from a non-conductor to a semi-conductor upon application of a minimum voltage is called the Ovshinsky Effect. (Source: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language). The Japanese who examined Ovshinsky’s working prototypes and then funded his work have reaped enormous financial benefits from Ovshinsky’s amorphous semiconductor sales. 39 Draft 63. For a digest of this work seeking violation of Lorentz invariance, see Robert Bluhm, “Breaking Lorentz symmetry,” feature article in PhysicsWorld, March 2004. 64. (a) Nikola Tesla, "The True Wireless,” Electrical Experimenter, May 1919. While Tesla was referring to the total falsity of the Hertz theory of transverse EM force field waves in massless space, his comment applies not only to that part of the electrical engineering model but to a great many other falsities contained in it. (b) For a listing of these falsities, see T. E. Bearden, “Errors and Omissions in the CEM/EE Model,” available at http://www.cheniere.org/techpapers/CEM%20Errors%20%20final%20paper%20complete%20w%20longer%20abstract4.doc . This paper was also submitted to the National Science Foundation, which formally reviewed it. It passed the review; see the NSF letter at http://www.cheniere.org/references/NSF%20letter%20Bearden.jpg . However, the high level staff members in charge of electrical power and communications, etc. have no intention whatsoever of funding our sharp young doctoral candidates, post doctoral scientists, and a few sharp professors who know not only electrodynamics but physics, to correct that sadly flawed old CEM/EE model. So sadly the NSF (and the other national science agencies as well) will do nothing at all of any consequence in the area of “free EM energy from the vacuum”, even as our own nation and Western Europe are facing a coming giant economic collapse as the MidEast explodes and the rest of the MidEast oil is abruptly cut off. 40
