So, why don't electrons
run out of energy and just slow down to a standstill? Quantum Mechanics
has shown that the universe is a seething cauldron of energy with particles
popping into existence and then dropping out again. Knowing that E =
mC2, we can see that a tremendous amount of energy is needed to create
any form of matter. Scientists remark that if we could tap even a small
part of that energy, then we would have free energy for our lifetime.
The Law of Conservation
of Energy is undoubtedly correct when it shows that more energy cannot
be taken out of any system than is put into that system. However, that
does not mean that we cannot get more energy out
of a system than we put into it. A crude example
is a solar panel in sunlight. We get electrical power out of the panel
but we do not put the sunlight into the panel - the sunlight arrives
on its own. This example is simple as we can see the sunlight reaching
the solar panel.
If, instead of the
solar panel, we had a device which absorbs some of the energy which
Quantum Mechanics observes and gives out, say, electrical power, would
that be so different? Most people say "yes! - it is impossible!"
but this reaction is based on the fact that we cannot see this sea of
energy. Should we say that a TV set cannot possibly work because we
cannot see a television transmission signal?
Many people have produced
devices and ideas for tapping this energy. The energy is often called
"Zero-Point Energy" because it is the energy which remains
when a system has its temperature lowered to absolute zero. This presentation
is introductory information on what has already been achieved in this
field: devices which output more power than they require to run. This
looks as if they contradict the Law of Conservation of Energy, but they
don't, and you can see this when you take the zero-point energy field
into account.
The material on this
web site describes more than thirty different devices, with diagrams,
photographs, explanations, pointers to web sites, etc. As some of the
devices need an understanding of electronic circuitry, a simple, step-by-step
instruction course in electronics is also provided. This can take someone
with no previous knowledge of electronics, to the level where they can
read, understand, design and build the type of circuits used with these
devices.
This is a very interesting
field and the topic is quite absorbing once you get past the "it
has to be impossible" attitude. We were once told that it would
be impossible to cycle at more than 15 mph as the wind pressure would
prevent the cyclist from breathing. Do you want to stay with that type
of 'scientific' expert? Have some fun - discover the facts.
There are many, many
interesting devices and ideas already on the web. This site does not
mention them all by any means. What it does, is take some of what are
in my opinion, the most promising and interesting items, group them
by category, and attempt to describe them clearly and without too many
technical terms. If you are not familiar with electronics, then some
items may be difficult to understand. In that case, I suggest that you
start with the 'Electronics' section and go through each part in order,
moving at whatever speed suits you, before examining the other sections.
I hope you enjoy what you read.
