Cold Fusion is Here, It’s Real, and its Time has Come.
By Steve Windisch 2-2012
Over the last several years, there have been many reports around the world about important multiple successes with what is popularly known as “Cold Fusion”. The latest was from January 31, 2012 at M.I.T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Professors Peter L. Hagelstein and Mitchell Swartz gave a symposium and short class where a successful 2-day LANL / LENR/ Cold Fusion experiment was done publicly that produced at least 10 times the energy out, than was used.
This event was especially significant, since it was some professors and administration officials at M.I.T. who were leading the anti-cold fusion attack wave in the early 1990’s. Pro-CF proponents, such as the late Dr. Eugene Mallove of Harvard and M.I.T. who wrote books and articles on LENR before his murder in 2004, have theorized that the vehement attacks, derision, and accusations publicly made about it then were mostly about M.I.T. and others trying to protect the large amount of government funding they received for “hot fusion” research; which would soon become utterly obsolete if cold fusion were a reality. LENR research is dozens of times less expensive to perform than hot fusion research, and much less ongoing funding is needed to maintain a laboratory. No one knows for sure the real reasons CF was completely discarded and discredited in the U.S. in the early 1990’s ; and certainly many skeptics there and other places were genuine in their condemnations, since many labs attempted “honest” replications and failed to get any positive results (but others during that time did in fact get good results). At any rate, events have proved that the early Pons and Fleischmann experiments were indeed correct and worthy of much greater study and investment, and the most prestigious scientific institute of all, M.I.T., has now seen a successful public demonstration and verification over 20 years later.
Besides the above, NASA and other agencies of the U.S. government have expressed great interest in LENR. In late 2011, a presentation about it was given at a major NASA meeting, verifying it is a valid and highly important technology that will be pursued in the future. Dr. Dennis Bushnell, highly respected Chief Scientist at NASA Langley, has recently made several positive public statements about LENR and its validity. And back in 2008, the CBS “Sixty Minutes” TV show did a segment on it (“Cold Fusion is Hot Again”), where the amazing statement that the U.S. Naval Research Lab had positively verified significant excess energy production was first publicly made. Unfortunately, since that Sixty Minutes program first aired, very little has changed regarding LENR in the U.S. : University labs are still routinely denied funding to study LENR (difficult to understand, until one “follows the money” and sees that the majority of these funds for university-level energy research now come as endowments and grants from large corporations such as oil companies), and we hear very little about it in the mainstream media.
Scientists generally don’t like the “Cold Fusion” term. First, it conjures up the media circus from 1989 / 1990 when the discovery was first announced with great hoopla at a press conference by Dr.’s Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann at the University of Utah… then immediately later derided almost universally in the press as “bad science” and “fraud”. These claims by the U.S. mainstream media were later proved to themselves be false and libelous by over a hundred successful replications around the world, recorded over the last 22 years by reputable scientists at prestigious institutions who have published over 200 Peer-Reviewed Scientific Papers on the subject, proving that the effect does definitely exist and is highly significant. Yet the damage was done in the U.S. public’s mind, and the retractions and apologies from the media and skeptics did not come. Dr. Fleischmann has stated that the press conference that started the media circus, and the use of the word “fusion”, were tactical mistakes and mostly beyond his control. However, events have shown he was not mistaken in his data nor results.
The term “Cold Fusion” also goes against the tenets of Scientific Method in that we don’t know for absolute sure if the reaction is “fusion” in nature yet, although there is significant empirical evidence for this including dozens of reports of production of Helium and Hydrogen isotopes and low levels of gamma radiation detected during the reaction (that are easily shielded against). So instead, scientists in the field usually prefer the terms either “LANL” (Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reaction), or “LENR” (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction). One thing is sure, that if this reaction eventually turns out to be “Chemical” in nature, then radically new theories explaining it for that scientific discipline will be required as well, as they would for Physics if the reaction is indeed “nuclear” in origin as most believe.
And this, in essence, is one of the mains problems for its full acceptance by the scientific mainstream: There are yet no widely accepted Scientific Theories to explain the empirically collected data of excess energy production that has been carefully recorded many times using accepted means. Several well-done Theories exist and have been put forward, but none have received any acclaim… and all have been generally met with either silence or open hostility. It would seem on the surface, that for decades LENR was a mostly “forbidden subject”, not much different than “Galileo’s Telescope” in the eyes of the 15th Century Church. In this case, the “Church” is the mainstream scientific community, and the “Telescope”… that they have often strangely and steadfastly refused to “look in to”… is a clean and safe energy producing technology that would spell the end of 100 years of unbridled fossil fuel use, greatly helping to free us from many social, economic, geopolitical, and ecological problems that now plague our world.
What Ever the Name, It Works and is Important
LENR produces heat… generally used to create hot water or steam. The steam coming from heat exchangers and water jackets can be used to replace fission nuclear reactors that use highly dangerous radioactive fuel. Or more importantly… dirty and poisonous coal, natural gas mined using polluting “fracking” means, or fuel oil coming from the highly toxic Alberta Tar Sands, drilled for using highly risky deep water wells, or from unfriendly and unstable countries often embroiled in wars our soldiers must fight and die in… all used to fire and heat boilers feeding the steam turbines that in turn power electrical generators. These are the polluting or inherently dangerous methods presently used to generate up to 80% of all energy used on the planet today for industry, homes, and increasingly… electric vehicles. Even if LENR was used to simply “pre-heat” water that went into a traditional coal-fired boiler, it could easily increase efficiency and lower fossil fuel use at an existing power plant by up to 70%. Such an interim “assisting” system could be installed with a minimum of time, cost, and disruption to existing coal-fired installations (and even be done without any service interruption); while all-new or heavily modified plants would be built to benefit from zero fossil fuel or fission nuclear use.
Several methods of LENR are being studied. The one that is most known, and first done by Pons and Fleischmann, uses palladium electrodes and deuterium (the “Heavy Water” atomic isotope of hydrogen naturally found in sea water at a ratio of 1:6,000 to “regular” H). What more recent studies have found, is that the atomic-level Lattice of the palladium surface interacts, in some “yet to be determined” way, with the deuterium to generate excess heat when electrical current and heat from an outside source are applied as stimulants (the current also performs electrolysis to disassociate the “heavy water” and provide the deuterium gas). Improved results have occurred when the biasing current is an oscillating waveform instead of flat “DC”, and the carefully pulsed waveform appears to “shake” the palladium lattice into accepting more deuterium inside of it for increased reaction. Also, it is often reported that increased energy production is seen when the water bath has lithium salts dissolved in it (or other salts). A small electric heating element is used to pre-heat the water. When successful the reaction soon begins, the heating element is turn off, and much higher levels of heat are produced, up to 25 times that of the energy used to create and sustain the reaction.
Several scientists in the field have noted that the palladium used for the electrodes must be of a very high purity, and this is said by some knowledgeable in the field to be behind the early failures of the experiment in the early 1990’s (most notably by M.I.T. in 1990), when many universities attempted to replicate Pons and Fleishmann’s discovery. It seems there was only one main supplier for these electrodes in U.S. scientific circles, and their quality and purity was not always sufficient for the reaction to take place. How ironic and sad would it be, if 20 years of denial and refusal to study this effect in the U.S. were based on the use of poor-quality metals? Despite this problem, many university and private labs, all outside of the United States, have successfully replicated and verified the experiment (and published Peer-Reviewed Papers on the results)… a fact that has still not been properly reported on in the U.S. mainstream media.
Another LENR method that is presently claimed to be highly successful (and that gained much interest in 2011), is that of using nickel nano-powder and pressurized hydrogen. Also, an unnamed proprietary “catalyst” is present, and the usual electrical current biasing waveform and pre-heating are used to start the reaction. In January 2011, the University of Bologna in Italy had a Public Demonstration of a claimed working LENR system using the nickel powder and hydrogen method. The main inventor was Andrea Rossi (an engineer and entrepreneur), and the professors involved there at U. of Bologna were Dr.’s Giuseppe Levi and Sergio Focardi. Two Swedish scientists also later supported the work: Hanno Essén, professor of theoretical physics, and Dr. Sven Kullander, chairman of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' Energy Committee. The Rossi Energy Catalyzer (“ECat”) system has been witnessed operating and producing steam by many people (including, it is rumored, by U.S. government representatives from NASA and DARPA); although there is a great deal of skepticism and controversy surrounding it; mainly having to do with Mr. Rossi’s methods of measuring energy output, and his insistence for keeping certain things secret (this secrecy is common with “Patent Pending” inventions, but many believe this topic is too important for Patents and should be “Open Sourced”). Also, another Italian physics professor, Francesco Celani, had claimed excess heat production using nickel-hydrogen as early as 1991 (many speculate that Andrea Rossi was building on Celani’s earlier work, but Rossi claims his system is unique and differs significantly from any other work in the field). Patents for Rossi’s invention have been awarded in some countries, but are reported to have been “denied” in the U.S.
The Rossi – Focardi system is claimed to produce traces of copper and copper isotopes after months of operation… apparently caused by fusion of the nickel powder with hydrogen. Other examples of transmutation of elements have been reported using the deuterium-palladium method as well: Specifically the creation of helium isotopes from hydrogen. And like the deuterium-palladum method, small amounts of gamma radiation have been reported during nickel-hydrogen operation. These are the main reasons that “nuclear fusion”, often claimed to be “impossible” at near-room temperatures by many in the mainstream scientific circles, is strongly suspected as being behind the reactions (and this is now considered a “near-certainty”). The small amounts of gamma radiation can be easily shielded against (for instance, a fission nuclear reactor will have more than billion times more ionizing radiation at any one point that remains deadly for decades and even eons), and the gammas produced by LENR will only occur during operation: Turn the reaction off, and there is no residual radiation. And this is an important safety plus over fission nuclear: The danger with fission is “turning it off”… harnessing the incredible power within the reactor vessel that could melt down quickly when cooling fails (as we saw happen four times at Fukushima when not only the primary cooling failed, but all the back-ups did as well). With LENR, the challenge is to keep it going.
In Japan, much research has been done and several well-respected laboratories have shown excess energy production. Among these, are Professor Yoshiaki Arata at the University of Osaka. Many speculate that if the U.S continues to drag its heals concerning LENR, other nations will get there first and gain the lion’s share of acclaim and profit. Several other scientists in Italy besides those mentioned have done much work in the LENR field as well, it and Japan being the two nations who invested the most into it at a university level during the “wilderness years” of 1990 to 2008 when it was still wrongly discredited.
For the last 60 years, scientists have worked on “hot fusion” techniques with virtually no success at all. Billions have been spent on “tokamak” plasma reactors that generate huge temperatures and pressures to mimic the heart of a star, in the hope of producing usable energy. More recently, multiple giant laser arrays aimed at a single point attempt to do the same. So far, none have done so with any sort of energy efficiency. The difference with LENR is, that many times the energy needed to sustain the reaction have been produced (the Energy Efficiency is measured as “heat”, compared to conventional means of heating water using widely accepted techniques and formulas), making it both ecologically highly attractive… and economically feasible. The highest energy production reported so far, was by the “Energetics” private laboratory in Israel, who claimed 25 times energy “out” verse “in”. The U.S. Navy Research lab has reported similar results, from a very similar system to Energetics. These last two mentioned, were featured in the “Sixty Minutes” program in 2008 . It was reported that Andrea Rossi, inventor of the “Ecat”, was involved in some fashion in LENR research done for DARPA or another similar U.S. government agency in the past. There have been de-classified U.S. government reports from DARPA stating that LENR definitely and beyond doubt produces access heat… even calling it a “Disruptive Technology”. Yet the U.S. Department of Energy still apparently considers it “junk science” and does not invest in it, nor mentions it.
There is something inherently “wrong” about the skeptics’ claims of “impossibility” of room temperature fusion. As far as Scientific Method goes, any such claims are not correct to begin with. Many of the continued negative claims against LENR would appear, at least on the face of them, to be politically and economically motivated and not based on “Science”. Either they are about “funding wars” and Byzantine inter-discipline “politics”, or perhaps about Suppression to maintain the status quo regarding Energy. And it is important to note, that many in the field of Microbiology believe that a fusion or a fusion-like effect takes place within living cells (a Nobel Laureate in the field first theorized this back in the 1950’s). But often, reluctance or irrational denial is simply based on the human desire not to be “wrong”, and to resist a change of direction. All through History, scientific dogma has turned out to be “wrong” time after time, and was then changed to the new “truth” when the previous dogma was discredited (only to be proved wrong again later). It would seem to be arrogant to insist that “this time” we could not be wrong; when every time in the past we were. Every one of those “revisions” in Scientific Theory throughout History had a great deal of opposition to them as well. As is often famously mentioned, it took the U.S. mainstream scientific community over four years to accept the Wright Brothers’ flight as “fact”, and that heavier-than-air manned flight was “possible”… even after the reports of hundreds of credible eyewitnesses. Such is the present state of LENR : The plane is flying around the countryside visible to any who want to look; yet some in the mainstream scientific community are still claiming it is “impossible”, and thus refuse to look.
Dr. Eugene Mallove liked to tell a story where he called up his old Physics Professor at Harvard and presented him the case for LENR. The Professor’s reply was:
“I have had fifty years of experience in nuclear physics and I know what’s possible and what’s not!…I will not look at any more evidence! It’s all junk!”
It is not “junk” sir, it is very real. And it is coming; despite the energy corporations university grants that require it be ignored and remain un-funded, despite Physics profs who have written books, papers, and lectures that would be discredited; and despite a lethargic or corrupted government more worried about pleasing some large contributors than about the health of the planet.
The Changes that Will Come Regarding “Energy”
It is hard to imagine all the things that cheap, safe, and clean energy production would mean to us all. First, there are the many social issues such as “poverty” and “hunger” that would greatly benefit from cheap and abundant energy. Food production, and specifically the use of water for agriculture / irrigation, are huge consumers of energy. Much of the price of food is related to this energy cost. Irrigation pumps use a great deal of electricity, and tractors and combines use huge amounts of fossil fuels (for instance, when the full and actual “energy equation” is done for corn-based “Ethanol”, it is found that it often uses more energy to create than it provides). When energy is abundant and cheap, so is fresh water: It can be pumped cheaply thousands of kilometers, or come from seawater using desalination techniques. It can even be accumulated from the atmosphere using large-scale moisture collectors based on static charge. All the fears of “world water shortages” are based on the present energy paradigm of ‘scarcity” and cost. Change the equation, and suddenly hunger and lack of clean drinking water for billions of people are simply engineering problems… not unsolvable burdens and manufactured fears. Suddenly, things do not appear hopeless.
What would a world be like, where there is no scarcity of clean and safe energy? No huge corporate monopolies taking a significant portion of our incomes for record-breaking profits, like some draconian “tax” that politicians never complain about or even mention (and that affects the Working Poor and Small Business much more heavily than the wealthy or large corporations, who often can make behind-the-scenes deals to get their energy at a discount and thus tilt the playing field even more in their favor)? No more “winners and losers” in the energy access lottery regarding industry and manufacturing, where energy is one of the highest overhead factors? Where a village or town in Sub-Sahara Africa, or rural Brazil, or Indonesia… or in West Virginia… Could have the ability to cheaply manufacture quality goods for sale all over the world in a new economy based on true free market competition, and not the old restrictions caused by energy cost and other related factors like availability of water (and the cost of transportation is also heavily influenced by energy overhead). It is an interesting and pleasant thought: That this world could be completely transformed for the better, simply by first changing that now-negative energy equation. Cheap and abundant energy equals greater prosperity for all; except perhaps the present monopolies and trusts who control its flow and cost as they have for over 100 years.
Perhaps it is time to start thinking in these terms: That we really do not have to continue to live this way, and now M.I.T. has verified it. That we do not have to destroy the environment to maintain a modern society. We do not have to stand by helplessly and watch the suffering of billions who lack both prosperity and the ability to create it, because they have no access to energy. We do not have to blindly over- pay corporate or government monopolies forever, simply for the privilege of living a modern life that requires their premium-priced “Energy” for every single facet of our civilization and economy. We can change all this and more using cheap, clean, and safe energy technologies, and do so with a minimum of government interaction… if done smartly, probably for less money than they presently give fabulously wealthy oil and energy corporations in subsidies…. and do so for literally thousands of times less than it will cost to survive in a harsh and poisoned environment destroyed by fossil fuel pollution and/or nuclear radiation… the hidden costs of fossil fuels and fission nuclear that grow exponentially every year we ignore them.
What LENR Can and Can’t Do
LENR is simply the production of hot water. This can be used to heat a home in winter instead of fuel oil or natural gas (as either a service water heater or “furnace”), or to create steam to run electrical generators at a centralized electricity plant. If the nickel-hydrogen system of LENR is eventually verified as valid, as many believe it is already, it will provide a highly abundant source for “fuel” (nickel being one of the most common metals on the planet, and the usage per kilowatt-hour is tiny at any rate, a “full tank” of it lasting many months in the reactor). Palladium is less common, yet there is more than enough of it to convert every power plant on Earth to LENR, because the energy densities of LENR are so high. Deuterium is free for the taking from seawater. Future advances will see many other applications and methods… LENR technology is still in the “Wright Flyer” stage, and will need time to become a “Transatlantic Jet Liner”: What some detractors and skeptics appear to demand to see before they will ever be convinced. Yet their logic and “Scientific Method” they appear to worship is completely flawed: Until proper investment and study occurs, it will never reach an advanced state. Could they, just for a moment, consider that to try and possible fail… would be better than wasting another 20 years that cannot be gotten back? If they were held personally accountable for their refusals and blockings in the light of History, would they reconsider their positions?
What LENR won’t do very well in present form, is power a vehicle directly (probably not until more efficient and cheaper means of transferring heat directly into electricity or motion are found). However, it can help centrally generate the electricity that charges the batteries of EV’s… making it one of the “perfect” power sources for them, along with decentralized Wind and Solar PV .
LENR would pollute the environment a tiny fraction of what fossil fuels presently do. The lithium salts used in some of the methods of reaction are not “environmentally friendly” by any account (and lithium is somewhat volatile, and probably responsible for some minor lab mishaps that have occurred in LENR experiments), nor are some of the metal treatments needed to manufacture electrodes. Also, the “heat pollution” to the environment would be significant: But in fact, this would be exactly the same level as present systems that use steam (so the “heat pollution” issue is a “neutral”, and better cooling methods can certainly be devised to stop large amounts of heat entering the ambient). Yet there will probably be better mediums and methods to discover in this new field, and when the totality is examined, the plus factor to the ecology and human health is staggering (especially when one considers the Cancer rates in cities world-wide from Benzene, a poison present in Diesel fumes and coal ash). And few realize the enormous amount of fresh water that is now used to process and refine fossil fuels, millions of gallons a day that could be used for agriculture instead.
It is important to mention, that even when “oil” is no longer used as a fuel, that industry will still have 30% of their present business for other uses… so it will not bankrupt them, only make them compete openly and honestly the same as other companies have to do. That is the real “American Way” as we learned it…. not of supporting and protecting energy monopolies, illegal trusts, and corrupted and controlled commodities markets… especially when better means clearly exist. How ironic is it, that the yelling about “socialism!” always ignores the energy sector… where a socialistic-type system of subsidies, protected monopolies, and tightly controlled markets have been in place for nearly a century.
The one major industry that will be the new “buggy whip” when the use of fossil fuels are greatly diminished, would be “Coal Mining” (both strip-style “mountain top removal”, and underground mines). Demand for coal would be a small fraction presently needed (steel mills perhaps being the last customer). Coal workers would need re-training in a new economy freed from energy scarcity: Perhaps manufacturing solar PV panels in new air-conditioned and safe factories, to be installed on homeowners’ and small business’ roofs. Nearly every U.S. manufacturing industry has seen very significant losses of good paying jobs in the last two decades, for reasons that were much less pressing and all about greed, profit, and “globalization”… not about the health of the planet, nor the health of the workers. No one ever seems to care or talk about those millions of unemployed factory workers; yet coal industry proponents always mention the jobs lost as the main reason to go on destroying pristine mountain vistas, or poisoning primal forests with acid rain (or condemning millions of children to suffering asthma). Jobs lost to corporate “free enterprise” get a shrug of: “Too bad, that’s the global economy for you!”… While jobs lost in the fossil fuel energy sector because of new and better technologies are somehow always: “Too high a price to even consider!”
All jobs lost are a bad thing (and deeply damage the communities of the workers), and a serious national discussion on how to get them back and revitalize manufacturing is desperately needed. A national push for alternative energy will be a huge help; manufacturing and installing solar panels on millions of roofs would be a revitalizing giant boon for the economy of “Main Street”, even if it doesn’t please “Wall Street” speculators very much. Perhaps this “displeasure” is what is stopping it from happening in the U.S.?
Another facet is, that a new plant using LENR could be built in less than one third the time it takes to build a new fission nuclear reactor plant; and could do so for approximately only one fifth the cost (and after the on-going Fukushima disaster, it is problematic whether this highly dangerous technology will be considered seriously ever again, as public opinion around the world is firmly against it, several nations such as Germany and Japan have decided to get rid of it altogether… as few believe the industry spokespersons’ claims of “safety” any more). The U.S. fission nuclear industry relies 100% on government hand-outs in subsidies and guaranteed loans to even exist (over 30 billion dollars were approved alone for new fission nuclear plants in 2011’s budget, never even being openly debated or mentioned in the media at a time when cuts to social services made the news every day, and while 4 fission nuclear plant melt-downs were occurring in Fukushima). This “free and easy money” is not only for building new plants, but even billions more every year going to the energy corporation operators for storing the dangerous spend fuel they themselves create… a huge and profitable “business” in itself. The public, paying their bloated electric bills, actually pay for the new fission nuclear plants to be built (when they clearly don’t want them in the first place), while the energy corporations keep all the profits that the plants generate. Many of the fission nuclear plants built back in the 1970’s and 1980’s were financed via specific rate hikes to customers… that were “strangely” never lowered again, even after the plant had been paid off for decades.
An LENR-based reactor would cost little more to build than a conventional coal burning plant, require little or nothing in government aid (since the underwriting for Disaster Insurance and evacuation would be non-existent verses a fission nuclear plant, where the government foots the entire bill or such a dangerous thing could never be even be funded), and would take roughly the same time frame to become operational once an engineering design were approved. Even today, with no such design ready to go, an LENR based plant would still likely be operational before a fission nuclear plant that was already under construction was completed and ready to produce electricity (fission nuclear plants take at least 10 years to complete, longer if there are any hitches in the NRC Licensing).
But something LENR cannot do alone, is end the monopolies and corruption regarding energy. It is likely, as we see now with large-scale wind and solar installations, that the same corporations and entities that now burn fossil fuels to produce electricity, will be building LENR plants to use with “their” electrical grids. It is probably up to us, the People, to end their monopolies through installing our own solar PV panels when possible on our homes and small businesses (as the nation of Germany is successfully doing already)… and to insist our government act to help it all happen, instead of hindering it to protect their “client’s” profits and monopolies in the energy sector. The more of us that install our own solar PV, the cheaper it becomes for us all to do via the “Economy of Scale”, where prices drop to less than a third of when they were manufactured in much smaller quantities. Countries such as Germany, have proved conclusively that modest government incentives to citizens can pay-off big here; convincing more and more folks to install their own solar panels and generate their own power, even selling power back to the grid during the day while they are at work. A large solar PV manufacturing and installing industry for millions of good jobs would also be created. So de-centralized solar PV and wind power will still be an important factor, even in a world embracing LENR for centralized energy production. LENR will cover the gaps that solar and wind cannot; such as powering large heavy industries who use gigantic amounts of current. For these large industrial users, centralized power production continues to make sense for most of their needs. Also, it is unlikely that solar or wind can ever be so prevalent that it can handle the large peak loads, such as hot summer days and nights in cities; when air conditioners are running constantly and the utilities often now have to use portable auxiliary Diesel generators to keep up with demand (by the way, these tractor-trailer Diesel generators are common in the industry, and it is strange that such a portable supply could not have been quickly used in Fukushima as a tertiary back up to run the cooling pumps, a prime example of failed safety concerns due to “cost” and “profit” by the energy corporation operators regarding fission nuclear, who clearly should not have such huge responsibility over the planet and people’s health). The ability to generate enough solar or wind to power large cities “24/7”, where many folks don’t own their own homes and live in high-density areas, would be very difficult to achieve. LENR fills that gap cleanly, safely, and cheaply.
As U.S. President Obama recently stated in his 2012 “State of The Union” address…. We need to pursue “All the Above” in alternative energy. Many applauded this. However, we can surely forget about polluting methods such as the humorous and absurd public relations creation of “clean coal” when truly clean, cheap, and safe alternatives exist… even if it means a loss of easy monopoly profit for some who have “had it made in the shade” for the last century. In the early 1900’s, no one really cared that the “horse and buggy” industry was greatly curtailed by the advent and huge popularity of the automobile… and they received no government largess or corporate welfare… and they did not have the most powerful political lobby ever seen (perhaps if they did, we would still be riding horses to work). People we glad to see the piles of dung gone from the roads. It is time to end the pollution, the corruption, and the hand-outs to the fossil fuel energy giants… the most profitable, and politically “powerful” entities in history… and to create a world where the energy equation is Positive for us all, not negative for all but a few.
We cannot let either corporate influence, or the lack of interest of the mainstream scientific community stop LENR research and development from happening as soon as possible. We should work out the academic Theories later, let the theoretical Physicists and Chemists fight it out in the ring while the Engineers move ahead… and we must stop ignoring the empirical proofs. We need serious funding for more research, for actual engineering work to see these things realized. Not “ten years from now” (the same old broken political promises we have heard for over 40 years regarding any form of Alternative Energy that happens to threaten entrenched monopolies): But now, this year, since we know the truth and it can no longer be denied: M.I.T., NASA, DARPA, and a hundred laboratories around the planet have shown us this Truth.
It is time to look into the “Telescope”… even if it means changing some text books and college curriculum notes, and breaking some highly profitable monopolies. The cost of not doing so when we realize a superior alternative exists and is ready to go, is too terrible to contemplate.
The time for denial has ended; the plausible excuses are gone. The time for action is here.

2009: the Year that Perpetual Motion Ended
2009: The Year that “Perpetual Motion” Ended

Looking back over the year 2009, we can see many important changes. Interestingly enough, the major changes soon to be related here were mostly not publicized in the Mainstream… Yet they certainly happened nonetheless. This interesting dichotomy comes from how the mainstream scientific community has viewed the topic “Free Energy”; and how their former attitudes on this subject appear to have embarrassingly painted them into a corner; from which there is no extraction without loss of face… and even worse, requiring at least tacit admission of a serious failure in the past to view the science objectively; and pursue the study of many varied energy-related technologies which could, “coincidentally” very favorably compete with the use of Coal and Oil as fuels.
They are not likely to tell us they were “wrong”, so we must point this out for ourselves. The information related here can be easily checked; and if we look at the data objectively, there is little doubt that most will come to similar conclusions. Yet the point is not to place blame; but to move forward, and get the errors and suppressions behind us… so real progress can be made in the genre of alternative energy research: Something that has not happened on this planet in a serious way (with the lone exception of “Nuclear Fission”, inextricably linked to weapons research), for over a hundred years and counting.
“Perpetual Motion Nonsense!”
Supposedly (as we were often told, anyway), “Achieving Perpetual Motion” was the “Dream” of free energy inventors for many decades. But this is not so; and has been used thousands of times as a clever lie and attack phrase to denigrate alternative energy research, by painting the inventors as “kooks” striving for something that “cannot exist” by the Sacred Laws Of Thermodynamics… used as an ad hominem epithet that has loaded psychological meaning; carefully crafted over the years to instantly give a negative connotation which allows the user to completely ignore the data and arguments, and simply “attack the messenger” to end any meaningful debate. And it has worked successfully for decades.
But the Truth of this matter is, that the vast majority of free energy inventors do not seriously disagree with the Conservation of Energy (“CoE”)… They simply believe that these laws are incomplete; and that it is possible to tap currently undefined and unseen energy in an Open System that does not adhere to these “Laws”. Considering that they were written in the 1860’s… before the advent of “Atomic Theory”, or even most of “Molecular Theory”; it would actually be absurd to expect these “Laws” to hold in all instances; knowing what we now know. Yet, this has still been the “official stance” for many years. And this “Perpetual Motion” epithet has been used many times to deflect the possibility that viable, safe, clean, and cheap energy alternatives to coal and oil do in fact exist… and that if these alternatives were properly and openly studied; the world would quickly benefit from them.
This article will show that the use of this “Perpetual Motion Nonsense” negative attack phrase as a method of denying alternative energy technologies is now over: Flat, irretrievably done and finished… forever.
Because, the Laws of Thermodynamics have conclusively been proved wrong in significant instances; and the amazing part of this is, that “quietly”, the mainstream scientific community certainly knows and accepts this fact. Yes: Amazing as it sounds to many who had no idea that such a major change has taken place; this is indeed true (as we will soon see).
Apparently the mainstream scientific community and media just forgot to tell us.
And although such a statement as “CoE is Dead” will raise many hackles, and knee-jerk shouts of derision from thousands who still hold these “Laws” to be “Immutable” (with many folks standing by them much more than they would actual religious Laws such as “The Ten Commandments”)… These cries will now come only from the uneducated, or those who disingenuously continue to deny out of fear of having to modify their world-views… in other words, there will always be those who deny, yet they are now the “Fringe”, the “Flat Earthers”… and not those they previously aimed to attack in the alternative energy community: A state of affairs that will certainly be amusing and refreshing for many folks, but not very humorous for the anti-free energy “skeptical community”; who now find themselves left adrift by the very “Science” that they claimed to adhere to.
But that is not of any real consequence. What is of major importance, is that when this sea change is carefully considered, we must come to the inevitable conclusion that:
“This Changes Everything”.
Perhaps the very great import inherent to this “paradigm-destruction” is the reason the corporate-owned mainstream media has not told us these things yet. Consider that if people were made aware of the “Possibilities” of many energy-related concepts and technologies being valid, now that the “Laws” that loudly claimed they are “impossible” have been discredited…. that folks all over the world would call for much greater and vigorous open study of these technologies that were so often previously scoffed at as “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”.
And the results of these studies would have to be made Public.
And the public results would have to be followed-up on; with Billions of folks all over world watching.
And these “follow-ups” would mean the rapid ending of the reign of coal and oil as the fuels of choice on this planet…. and this will be the single most important planetary-wide change for Humankind that is likely to happen for many Centuries to come.
In other words, it allows for the perceived “existence”, and eventual Disclosure, of Free Energy technologies. And thus this article, and the proofs shown here and other places by many other people over many years, will eventually cause very red faces all over the corporate, bureaucratic, and scientific worlds. These facial colorations will be due to either embarrassment, or anger at being finally “found out”, with the knowledge that the “gig is up”, the “gravy-train” of monopoly control and pricing for energy is finally approaching the end of the line… and more importantly, that the long-delayed significant social and political changes that many in the corporate and bureaucratic worlds dread will now be Possible, and inevitable.
The Death of an Epithet
As the title of this article suggests, “2009” was a very important year for the destruction of the current paradigm regarding alternative energy research, and for “science” in general. Here is a list of events culminating in 2009 that ended the “Perpetual Motion Nonsense” epithet for all time to come:
March, 2009: LENR is Finally Accepted as Valid in the U.S. The U.S. Navy Research Lab finally admits that what is commonly called “Cold Fusion” (L.E.N.R. Low Energy Nuclear Reactions); is “Valid”. After 20 years of denial, the U.S. scientific community officially admits they were utterly wrong on this subject. This was a major shock to some “skeptics”, who embarrassingly, up until the actual day this information was reported on, were still loudly denying LENR . We have yet to see any serious retractions from the Media (despite the 2009 “Sixty Minutes” segment on this), who loudly claimed: “Fraud!” during the initial attack and disinformation campaign of 1989 / 1990 when Drs’ Pons and Fleischmann first went public (the national mainstream media will very rarely admit being “wrong”, unless forced to by threat of legal suit). Unfortunately, the “Statutes of Limitations” for Libel and Slander are now “up”, and the media can no longer be prosecuted for misleading the American public in this matter.
It is clear that this sudden “180-degree turn-around” in 2009 regarding Cold Fusion was about “saving face” before wider awareness of the facts made the U.S. scientific community look utterly foolish: Major Universities in many other countries had reported validations and successful replications of the Pons and Fleishmann process / effect over 120 times all over the world, all of them done by respected and tenured Scientists and documented by Peer-Reviewed Papers… but not within the borders of the U.S. for some “strange” reason, as funding for LENR experiments has been routinely denied to our scientists in the academic community. One of these successes in particular, done by the Energetics private laboratory in Israel, is reported to show energy releases up to 25 times that of what is used to create the effect (“COP>25”).. And Energetics specific process using special biasing waveforms and Lithium in the electrode baths appears to have been heavily copied by the Naval Research Lab’s experiments.
The surprise turn-around regarding LENR was the first, and most “public”, nail to come in 2009; sealing the coffin of the “Perpetual Motion Nonsense” epithet forever… and proving thousands of Skeptics, many of them Tenured Professors of Physics and Chemistry; “wrong” regarding what is “possible”.
The Los Alamos National Labs Physics Archives: One can go to this archive, hosted by Cornell University, and do a search for the term “Zero Point Energy”. This will turn up literally hundreds of Peer-Reviewed Papers and Abstracts regarding “ZPE”. What is unique and interesting about this fact, is that Zero Point Energy does not conform to the Laws of Thermodynamics at all. It is a source of energy that is “outside” of the Laws of “CoE”. This is key information for all of us to consider: The large majority of our mainstream scientific community certainly knows that ZPE exists. ZPE “breaks” all the Laws. Yet many in the mainstream scientific community (often the same proved wrong about LENR), are still insisting that CoE is “sacrosanct” in all cases? This obviously makes no sense, especially coming from the one group in our society who is supposed to uphold Scientific Method. Perhaps what Dr. Eugene Mallove called before his tragic murder 6 years ago: “The Politics of Science” , has corrupted many, and helped obscure these facts from being generally known. Billions in government funding are at stake here, and when the paradigm regarding alternative energy research finally changes; everything in the current world of science can now be questioned, and drastic changes in funding priorities will, and must, certainly happen …such as the ending of funding for “Hot Fusion”, “Tokamak” Reactors which in over fifty years of research (yes, that is “Five-Zero” years, over half a Century), have never shown any significant successes at all; for the untold Billions that have been spent on them over these years.
“LANL” is the premiere Physics government-sponsored Institute in the world by many accounts, it is huge in scope and has a giant budget to match: Much of which is “Black” (secret); and never published… often obscured even from the U.S. Congress. When considering the evidence of this publicly available Archive from a highly respected source, it becomes clear that our scientific Physics community now, for all practical purposes, fully accepts the existence of Zero Point Energy as “fact”. Yet, we have not been informed of this Earth-shattering information? It is very likely that if this information is publicly available, then there is other important information on these subjects that is not.
These hundreds of Papers regarding “ZPE” represent several more nails in “CoE’s” coffin. And although these Peer-reviewed Papers for all to see at LANL archives go back many years, they were only specifically discovered to exist and mentioned in the Open Source Free Energy community in 2009 ; brought to the Author’s attention in July of this year through the actions of a brave “Whistleblower” scientist and former LANL employee: This information was for the most part “hidden in plain sight”, and rarely mentioned in public discourse.
September 2009: DARPA announces new Projects to make practical use of Casmir Effect / Zero Point Energy. The linked “Scientific American” article, and other articles on the same subject, clearly state that the U.S. Defense Department's “Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency” is working on ways to manifest Zero Point Energy in practical applications. This is a major news event: Not because scientists are working on new concepts; but simply because a sanctioned U.S. government-funded agency is doing so openly, on a subject that is supposedly “highly controversial” (yet, is only perceived to be so by the general public, and is actually widely accepted by scientists). When added to the above LANL Archives proofs, this is a very damning indictment that our scientific community really does now fully accept that Zero Point Energy exists. And this means that by inference, since ZPE cannot by very definition conform to the Laws of Thermodynamics, these “Laws” are invalid in these cases… which in turn proves the possibility that “Free Energy” related technologies can indeed exist.
This large nail, being pounded down by DARPA itself, is helping to seal the coffin of the supreme primacy of the Laws of Thermodynamics… And will simultaneously help free minds to the new and wonderful possibilities regarding Energy.
2008 and 2009: Dr. Claus Turtur’s Experiments Prove the Manifestation of Zero Point Energy as Physically Measurable Mechanical Energy. Professor Dr. Claus W. Turtur of the University of Applied Sciences Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in Germany, has built a “motor” that can manifest Casmir Effect Zero Point Energy into measureable, physical energy. The rotor vanes spin in a vacuum, proving that ZPE can be seen as mechanical power. Dr. Turtur has written several Papers on the effects his experiments have noted, and they have not been refuted or rejected by the scientific community. His work has so far been met mainly with deafening silence: Yet it may someday prove to be of extreme importance to us all. And the above DARPA announcement would suggest that the U.S. government took notice of Dr. Turtur’s work. It is interesting to note, of the several “mainstream” artcles on the above mentioned DARPA announcement on their project to manifest ZPE, and DARPA’s site itself, none mentioned the ground-breaking work of Dr. Turtur although it was all in the Public Domain and can easily be seen via simple Internet searches…. predating the new DARPA project by years. This is not the “usual” state of affairs; and to deny giving credit to a respected scientist breaks precidence and protocol. The answer to this “oddity” is most likely this: Dr. Turtur’s work was “unwelcome”, and “inconvenient” for those who wish the Laws of Thermodynamics to remain “Sacred” in the public’s eye (which conveniently allows “Free Energy” concepts in general to go on being denied and derided as “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”).
When in the Public realm, and located overseas in a foreign nation; it is difficult to easily suppress such information coming from a respected and Tenured scientist. Therefor the usual alternative is to completely ignore it; hoping Public Awareness regarding it remains insignificant for as long as possible. For to deny it, would mean pointing additional unwanted attention to it, and required proofs are then needed: And such proofs cannot be supplied, and “false proofs” can be easily debunked in turn. So the answer in these cases is to: “Ignore and hope it goes away”. But this time, it is not going away, and the supremecy of Oil and Coal as fuels are the ones now in eventual danger of “going away” here.
Dr. Turturs fine work is yet another, very large golden nail in the coffin of the Laws of Thermodynamics being “True” in all instances… Another proof that Free Enery is indeed possible.
Blacklight Power Gains Academic Acceptance and Begins Commercial Marketing. The company Blacklight Power had an impressive year in 2009. First, starting in 2008, their technology based on plasma energy from “Hydrinos” (Hydrogen atoms with the electron sent down into a lower orbit) gained Verification of power generation in the over-unity range by Rowan University of New Jersey. Second, they signed several deals for commercializing it, and building Megawatt-sized units. Dr. Eugene Mallove had championed this technology developed by Dr. Randall Mills and his team; and had often called for greater interest regarding it from the mainstream scientific community (Dr. Mallove mentioned it in his famous “Letter to the World” which he wrote shortly before his tragic murder).
Blacklight’s system generates more power than it uses: And has conclusively proved it. This is the hammer that can heard banging away on the coffin lid of “denial” regarding the existence of free energy; burying the “Perpetual Motion” epithet for all time.
September 2009: A German Researcher shows evidence that the “Michelson-Morley Experiment” results were in Error. This year, another very interesting event happened. A man by the name of Martin Grosenick published a “You-Tube” video of his well-done replication and variant of the famous “Michelson-Morley Experiment”, which when originally done near the end of the 19th Century, were loudly used to “disprove” the existence of the “Active Aether”; and by inference, “prove” the existence of the “Empty Vacuum” concept / theory of Physics. Many of us may remember learning of these famous historical experiments in school (the original apparatus used is on display at the Case Western Reserve University School of Engineering in Cleveland, Ohio); and how Dr.’s Michelson and Morley designed the experiment in the hope of proving the existence of the “Active Aether”: A supposition that had been popular for many Centuries. But when they did not get the results expected, the failure was used to instead help end that supposition for over 100 years. Yet now that Zero Point Energy is widely accepted in the mainstream scientific community, this has in turn ended the supremacy of the “empty vacuum” theory (…whether we the Public have actually been told this or not)… And, oddly enough; returns mainstream science full-circle to the concept of an “Active Aether”. This idea of an “Active Aether” is exactly what “String”, “Quantum Field”, “Dark Matter & Dark Energy” theories imply: Whether we are specifically told this or not. And of course, energy that comes from this “Aether” cannot by definition conform to the old Conservation of Energy Laws at all.
Mr. Grosenick’s experiment differs significantly from any published ones seen to date: Instead of only measuring the photon light deflection in the “Horizontal Axis” as the original did, he also measures in the Vertical axis; rotating his device through 360 degrees. And when doing so, significant light bar deflection can be seen by the interferometers. The cleverly designed apparatus’ empirically-measured deflection also matches the predicted deflection that would exist by “Theory”; if there was in fact an “Active Aether”…. and by offsetting the device’s “angle of attack” (the actual measurement angle) by 45 degrees from the mechanical angle; he proves that the measured deflection is not an artifact of the equipment (virtually eliminating the possibilities of gravity-induced stresses; as when the device is at “45 degrees” of azimuth, the actual angle of the instrument’s measurements is at “90 degrees”, and there is no movement seen along the Horizontal plane at all.. the greatest movement is at “225 degrees Apparent” / “180 deg. Actual” (or the reciprocal); which would again follow “Aetheric Theory”; but does not follow any plausible “gravity-induced” mechanical stress profile for the equipment.
If this experiment holds-up to replication and Verification by others; this will help prove that there is indeed an “Active Aether” (or possibly point to interesting empirical proofs regarding the nature of Gravity). It is extraordinary news… but again, as with fellow-German, Professor Claus Turtur’s work; it was met with resounding silence in the U.S. mainstream scientific community, and not reported on outside of a few Internet mentions in forums. So far, apparently no Universities have openly tried to replicate this truly amazing experiment yet, which can be done at minimal cost. Why is that? This is “huge news” for the mainstream Physics community, refuting what was probably their most famous experiment of all time; yet it has apparently not even been discussed publicly at all by them.
Should this amazing data hold up to replication and third-party verification, this is the last nail in the “Laws of Thermodynamics” coffin, hammered down in the year 2009, ending the reign of these “immutable laws” for all time. Because an Active Aether, or what ever we want to now call it (“Dirac Sea”, “Quantum field” etc) has nothing to do with “CoE”, and is immune to these old “Laws”…that, it is very important to note, were only ever really “Theories” to begin with.
The Import, and Solution
No one is claiming that Newtonian Physics or the Laws of Thermodynamics are “completely wrong”. We are only stating, with proof, that they are not correct in every instance. And oddly enough, the above proofs show that the mainstream scientific community quietly agrees. But please note that it only takes one instance to prove that the laws can be “wrong”. And once this is fully understood, all the “Possibilities” regarding energy alternatives outside of the mainstream that have been ignored and derided in the past with the hackneyed old, negative epithet of “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”…. are suddenly “Possible”. And this is important to understand, because it will in fact eventually “Change Everything” regarding alternative energy research in the mainstream. Whether this incredibly important change happens “sooner”, or “later”, is still up for debate. Yet every year we delay is both a tragedy and a crime.
All information in this article can be verified as accurate; it is in the public domain (although much of it is unknown to over 99% of the population; because the mainstream media refused to report on most of these news events). Yet from previous experience, many of us strongly suspect that nothing will come of it all: Until Public Awareness grows to a point where, like with LENR / Cold Fusion in March 2009, it can no longer be plausibly denied and ignored by the government and the mainstream scientific community without their looking either utterly foolish, or corrupt. There are many possible reasons for this “deliberate ignorance” (.. perhaps more accurately termed, “suppression”), and to explore these subjects one must first understand that the result of a major sea-change in scientific understanding, publicly stated, is the first step in ending the incredible political power of “Big Oil”, the eventual end of “Coal” as a major fuel and pollutant, the lessening of the power and prestige of the monopoly private electrical Utilities, and in general, the end of the unprecedented control of every aspect of our economy by “fossil fuels”. So when “the money is followed”; it can be seen that in reality this is not a “Scientific” issue at all; but a “Political” one… and that this issue is the single most important one we face today, that directly challenges the largest, most powerful lobbies and private interest groups the world has ever seen.
But we concerned citizens of the Planet can help this information gain much greater Public Awareness, and thus “force” the issue: Reading this article and researching the information therein for yourselves is a good first step; sharing and discussing it with others is the next. Writing our Universities, asking them to honestly study energy alternatives (such as the “Rosemary Ainslie Circuit” detailed in an article linked below)… “Letting Them Know That We Know” these things are “Possible”; is another method. Contacting our elected government officials, so they can see that this information has finally reaching the masses and should be acted on because the “Plausible Deniability” regarding Energy alternatives is no longer valid, and the refusal to study these technologies important to us all increasingly appears to be highly suspicious and even “Criminal”… is yet another act that can benefit us all. In short, Grass Roots Activism is what will change this paradigm; and give us our Planet back.
We can no longer excuse, or accept the status quo regarding Energy. We are now at the point of serious, permanent jeopardy to our futures. It is not just about “profits” and “monopoly control” anymore: It is about our very existence as a species; our sacred Planet’s ability to survive and recover from the never-ending onslaught of pollution. It is about our ability to take back control of our own futures…. for the security and well being of our children and grandchildren.
Free Energy technologies do in fact exist, and they can no longer be called “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”. What is truly “nonsensical”, is continuing to allow our planet to be destroyed by the use of fossil fuels, because we cannot rid ourselves of proved-wrong, outmoded thinking patterns that refuse to accept the wonderful possibilities our future holds for us all.

Blacklight’s Plasma-based “Hydrino” Tech is Verified by Rowan U. as Overunity. The below article and Paper from Rowan University show that Blacklight has had important successes in 2009 . But what they don’t say is that the long-denied concepts of free energy are now proved possible… And what that could eventually mean for us all. Kudos to Rowan U. for being farsighted, courageous, and honest enough to take on this task despite the criticism that they risked. May many more universities finally remember their duty to Humanity and Science regarding “controversial” alternative energy technologies; and follow Rowan’s lead in 2010!

Martin Grosenick’s Michelson-Morley Experiment. This one needs public Verification and Replication by our Universities: Will they do so? Unlikely, unless “brow-beaten” into it by increased Public Awareness. From past experience, they will simply ignore it in the hope it goes away; as it raises inconvenient points and could prove to be quite an embarassment for them. It is truly sad that “Scientific Method” is not the main motivational factor in our scientific mainstream: “The Politics of Science” is. But we are hoping to be proved “wrong” here; and see this very interesting new twist on an old experiment replicated and reported on in the mainstream in 2010 .

“The Strange Case of the Rosemary Ainslie Circuit” Article: A recent public record of this successful 2009 Open Source Energy project that shows significant anomalous energy releases, manifest as excess heating of a resistive element. This circuit / effect, carefully documented and recorded by an Open Source Team with members living on three continents, is both a prime example of the power of Open Source research, and of our scientific mainstream ignoring and refusing to study “controversial” energy technologies (in this case, for over 6 years), despite significant Verification proofs laid before them. Many additional links can be found here. The Ainslie circuit, and many similar alternative energy technologies studied outside of the mainstream, can no longer be conveniently shrugged-off with the old “Perpetual Motion” epithet… That is all over now; and the plausible excuses for ignoring these technologies are gone forever.

Looking back over the year 2009, we can see many important changes. Interestingly enough, the major changes soon to be related here were mostly not publicized in the Mainstream… Yet they certainly happened nonetheless. This interesting dichotomy comes from how the mainstream scientific community has viewed the topic “Free Energy”; and how their former attitudes on this subject appear to have embarrassingly painted them into a corner; from which there is no extraction without loss of face… and even worse, requiring at least tacit admission of a serious failure in the past to view the science objectively; and pursue the study of many varied energy-related technologies which could, “coincidentally” very favorably compete with the use of Coal and Oil as fuels.
They are not likely to tell us they were “wrong”, so we must point this out for ourselves. The information related here can be easily checked; and if we look at the data objectively, there is little doubt that most will come to similar conclusions. Yet the point is not to place blame; but to move forward, and get the errors and suppressions behind us… so real progress can be made in the genre of alternative energy research: Something that has not happened on this planet in a serious way (with the lone exception of “Nuclear Fission”, inextricably linked to weapons research), for over a hundred years and counting.
“Perpetual Motion Nonsense!”
Supposedly (as we were often told, anyway), “Achieving Perpetual Motion” was the “Dream” of free energy inventors for many decades. But this is not so; and has been used thousands of times as a clever lie and attack phrase to denigrate alternative energy research, by painting the inventors as “kooks” striving for something that “cannot exist” by the Sacred Laws Of Thermodynamics… used as an ad hominem epithet that has loaded psychological meaning; carefully crafted over the years to instantly give a negative connotation which allows the user to completely ignore the data and arguments, and simply “attack the messenger” to end any meaningful debate. And it has worked successfully for decades.
But the Truth of this matter is, that the vast majority of free energy inventors do not seriously disagree with the Conservation of Energy (“CoE”)… They simply believe that these laws are incomplete; and that it is possible to tap currently undefined and unseen energy in an Open System that does not adhere to these “Laws”. Considering that they were written in the 1860’s… before the advent of “Atomic Theory”, or even most of “Molecular Theory”; it would actually be absurd to expect these “Laws” to hold in all instances; knowing what we now know. Yet, this has still been the “official stance” for many years. And this “Perpetual Motion” epithet has been used many times to deflect the possibility that viable, safe, clean, and cheap energy alternatives to coal and oil do in fact exist… and that if these alternatives were properly and openly studied; the world would quickly benefit from them.
This article will show that the use of this “Perpetual Motion Nonsense” negative attack phrase as a method of denying alternative energy technologies is now over: Flat, irretrievably done and finished… forever.
Because, the Laws of Thermodynamics have conclusively been proved wrong in significant instances; and the amazing part of this is, that “quietly”, the mainstream scientific community certainly knows and accepts this fact. Yes: Amazing as it sounds to many who had no idea that such a major change has taken place; this is indeed true (as we will soon see).
Apparently the mainstream scientific community and media just forgot to tell us.
And although such a statement as “CoE is Dead” will raise many hackles, and knee-jerk shouts of derision from thousands who still hold these “Laws” to be “Immutable” (with many folks standing by them much more than they would actual religious Laws such as “The Ten Commandments”)… These cries will now come only from the uneducated, or those who disingenuously continue to deny out of fear of having to modify their world-views… in other words, there will always be those who deny, yet they are now the “Fringe”, the “Flat Earthers”… and not those they previously aimed to attack in the alternative energy community: A state of affairs that will certainly be amusing and refreshing for many folks, but not very humorous for the anti-free energy “skeptical community”; who now find themselves left adrift by the very “Science” that they claimed to adhere to.
But that is not of any real consequence. What is of major importance, is that when this sea change is carefully considered, we must come to the inevitable conclusion that:
“This Changes Everything”.
Perhaps the very great import inherent to this “paradigm-destruction” is the reason the corporate-owned mainstream media has not told us these things yet. Consider that if people were made aware of the “Possibilities” of many energy-related concepts and technologies being valid, now that the “Laws” that loudly claimed they are “impossible” have been discredited…. that folks all over the world would call for much greater and vigorous open study of these technologies that were so often previously scoffed at as “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”.
And the results of these studies would have to be made Public.
And the public results would have to be followed-up on; with Billions of folks all over world watching.
And these “follow-ups” would mean the rapid ending of the reign of coal and oil as the fuels of choice on this planet…. and this will be the single most important planetary-wide change for Humankind that is likely to happen for many Centuries to come.
In other words, it allows for the perceived “existence”, and eventual Disclosure, of Free Energy technologies. And thus this article, and the proofs shown here and other places by many other people over many years, will eventually cause very red faces all over the corporate, bureaucratic, and scientific worlds. These facial colorations will be due to either embarrassment, or anger at being finally “found out”, with the knowledge that the “gig is up”, the “gravy-train” of monopoly control and pricing for energy is finally approaching the end of the line… and more importantly, that the long-delayed significant social and political changes that many in the corporate and bureaucratic worlds dread will now be Possible, and inevitable.
The Death of an Epithet
As the title of this article suggests, “2009” was a very important year for the destruction of the current paradigm regarding alternative energy research, and for “science” in general. Here is a list of events culminating in 2009 that ended the “Perpetual Motion Nonsense” epithet for all time to come:
March, 2009: LENR is Finally Accepted as Valid in the U.S. The U.S. Navy Research Lab finally admits that what is commonly called “Cold Fusion” (L.E.N.R. Low Energy Nuclear Reactions); is “Valid”. After 20 years of denial, the U.S. scientific community officially admits they were utterly wrong on this subject. This was a major shock to some “skeptics”, who embarrassingly, up until the actual day this information was reported on, were still loudly denying LENR . We have yet to see any serious retractions from the Media (despite the 2009 “Sixty Minutes” segment on this), who loudly claimed: “Fraud!” during the initial attack and disinformation campaign of 1989 / 1990 when Drs’ Pons and Fleischmann first went public (the national mainstream media will very rarely admit being “wrong”, unless forced to by threat of legal suit). Unfortunately, the “Statutes of Limitations” for Libel and Slander are now “up”, and the media can no longer be prosecuted for misleading the American public in this matter.
It is clear that this sudden “180-degree turn-around” in 2009 regarding Cold Fusion was about “saving face” before wider awareness of the facts made the U.S. scientific community look utterly foolish: Major Universities in many other countries had reported validations and successful replications of the Pons and Fleishmann process / effect over 120 times all over the world, all of them done by respected and tenured Scientists and documented by Peer-Reviewed Papers… but not within the borders of the U.S. for some “strange” reason, as funding for LENR experiments has been routinely denied to our scientists in the academic community. One of these successes in particular, done by the Energetics private laboratory in Israel, is reported to show energy releases up to 25 times that of what is used to create the effect (“COP>25”).. And Energetics specific process using special biasing waveforms and Lithium in the electrode baths appears to have been heavily copied by the Naval Research Lab’s experiments.
The surprise turn-around regarding LENR was the first, and most “public”, nail to come in 2009; sealing the coffin of the “Perpetual Motion Nonsense” epithet forever… and proving thousands of Skeptics, many of them Tenured Professors of Physics and Chemistry; “wrong” regarding what is “possible”.
The Los Alamos National Labs Physics Archives: One can go to this archive, hosted by Cornell University, and do a search for the term “Zero Point Energy”. This will turn up literally hundreds of Peer-Reviewed Papers and Abstracts regarding “ZPE”. What is unique and interesting about this fact, is that Zero Point Energy does not conform to the Laws of Thermodynamics at all. It is a source of energy that is “outside” of the Laws of “CoE”. This is key information for all of us to consider: The large majority of our mainstream scientific community certainly knows that ZPE exists. ZPE “breaks” all the Laws. Yet many in the mainstream scientific community (often the same proved wrong about LENR), are still insisting that CoE is “sacrosanct” in all cases? This obviously makes no sense, especially coming from the one group in our society who is supposed to uphold Scientific Method. Perhaps what Dr. Eugene Mallove called before his tragic murder 6 years ago: “The Politics of Science” , has corrupted many, and helped obscure these facts from being generally known. Billions in government funding are at stake here, and when the paradigm regarding alternative energy research finally changes; everything in the current world of science can now be questioned, and drastic changes in funding priorities will, and must, certainly happen …such as the ending of funding for “Hot Fusion”, “Tokamak” Reactors which in over fifty years of research (yes, that is “Five-Zero” years, over half a Century), have never shown any significant successes at all; for the untold Billions that have been spent on them over these years.
“LANL” is the premiere Physics government-sponsored Institute in the world by many accounts, it is huge in scope and has a giant budget to match: Much of which is “Black” (secret); and never published… often obscured even from the U.S. Congress. When considering the evidence of this publicly available Archive from a highly respected source, it becomes clear that our scientific Physics community now, for all practical purposes, fully accepts the existence of Zero Point Energy as “fact”. Yet, we have not been informed of this Earth-shattering information? It is very likely that if this information is publicly available, then there is other important information on these subjects that is not.
These hundreds of Papers regarding “ZPE” represent several more nails in “CoE’s” coffin. And although these Peer-reviewed Papers for all to see at LANL archives go back many years, they were only specifically discovered to exist and mentioned in the Open Source Free Energy community in 2009 ; brought to the Author’s attention in July of this year through the actions of a brave “Whistleblower” scientist and former LANL employee: This information was for the most part “hidden in plain sight”, and rarely mentioned in public discourse.
September 2009: DARPA announces new Projects to make practical use of Casmir Effect / Zero Point Energy. The linked “Scientific American” article, and other articles on the same subject, clearly state that the U.S. Defense Department's “Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency” is working on ways to manifest Zero Point Energy in practical applications. This is a major news event: Not because scientists are working on new concepts; but simply because a sanctioned U.S. government-funded agency is doing so openly, on a subject that is supposedly “highly controversial” (yet, is only perceived to be so by the general public, and is actually widely accepted by scientists). When added to the above LANL Archives proofs, this is a very damning indictment that our scientific community really does now fully accept that Zero Point Energy exists. And this means that by inference, since ZPE cannot by very definition conform to the Laws of Thermodynamics, these “Laws” are invalid in these cases… which in turn proves the possibility that “Free Energy” related technologies can indeed exist.
This large nail, being pounded down by DARPA itself, is helping to seal the coffin of the supreme primacy of the Laws of Thermodynamics… And will simultaneously help free minds to the new and wonderful possibilities regarding Energy.
2008 and 2009: Dr. Claus Turtur’s Experiments Prove the Manifestation of Zero Point Energy as Physically Measurable Mechanical Energy. Professor Dr. Claus W. Turtur of the University of Applied Sciences Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in Germany, has built a “motor” that can manifest Casmir Effect Zero Point Energy into measureable, physical energy. The rotor vanes spin in a vacuum, proving that ZPE can be seen as mechanical power. Dr. Turtur has written several Papers on the effects his experiments have noted, and they have not been refuted or rejected by the scientific community. His work has so far been met mainly with deafening silence: Yet it may someday prove to be of extreme importance to us all. And the above DARPA announcement would suggest that the U.S. government took notice of Dr. Turtur’s work. It is interesting to note, of the several “mainstream” artcles on the above mentioned DARPA announcement on their project to manifest ZPE, and DARPA’s site itself, none mentioned the ground-breaking work of Dr. Turtur although it was all in the Public Domain and can easily be seen via simple Internet searches…. predating the new DARPA project by years. This is not the “usual” state of affairs; and to deny giving credit to a respected scientist breaks precidence and protocol. The answer to this “oddity” is most likely this: Dr. Turtur’s work was “unwelcome”, and “inconvenient” for those who wish the Laws of Thermodynamics to remain “Sacred” in the public’s eye (which conveniently allows “Free Energy” concepts in general to go on being denied and derided as “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”).
When in the Public realm, and located overseas in a foreign nation; it is difficult to easily suppress such information coming from a respected and Tenured scientist. Therefor the usual alternative is to completely ignore it; hoping Public Awareness regarding it remains insignificant for as long as possible. For to deny it, would mean pointing additional unwanted attention to it, and required proofs are then needed: And such proofs cannot be supplied, and “false proofs” can be easily debunked in turn. So the answer in these cases is to: “Ignore and hope it goes away”. But this time, it is not going away, and the supremecy of Oil and Coal as fuels are the ones now in eventual danger of “going away” here.
Dr. Turturs fine work is yet another, very large golden nail in the coffin of the Laws of Thermodynamics being “True” in all instances… Another proof that Free Enery is indeed possible.
Blacklight Power Gains Academic Acceptance and Begins Commercial Marketing. The company Blacklight Power had an impressive year in 2009. First, starting in 2008, their technology based on plasma energy from “Hydrinos” (Hydrogen atoms with the electron sent down into a lower orbit) gained Verification of power generation in the over-unity range by Rowan University of New Jersey. Second, they signed several deals for commercializing it, and building Megawatt-sized units. Dr. Eugene Mallove had championed this technology developed by Dr. Randall Mills and his team; and had often called for greater interest regarding it from the mainstream scientific community (Dr. Mallove mentioned it in his famous “Letter to the World” which he wrote shortly before his tragic murder).
Blacklight’s system generates more power than it uses: And has conclusively proved it. This is the hammer that can heard banging away on the coffin lid of “denial” regarding the existence of free energy; burying the “Perpetual Motion” epithet for all time.
September 2009: A German Researcher shows evidence that the “Michelson-Morley Experiment” results were in Error. This year, another very interesting event happened. A man by the name of Martin Grosenick published a “You-Tube” video of his well-done replication and variant of the famous “Michelson-Morley Experiment”, which when originally done near the end of the 19th Century, were loudly used to “disprove” the existence of the “Active Aether”; and by inference, “prove” the existence of the “Empty Vacuum” concept / theory of Physics. Many of us may remember learning of these famous historical experiments in school (the original apparatus used is on display at the Case Western Reserve University School of Engineering in Cleveland, Ohio); and how Dr.’s Michelson and Morley designed the experiment in the hope of proving the existence of the “Active Aether”: A supposition that had been popular for many Centuries. But when they did not get the results expected, the failure was used to instead help end that supposition for over 100 years. Yet now that Zero Point Energy is widely accepted in the mainstream scientific community, this has in turn ended the supremacy of the “empty vacuum” theory (…whether we the Public have actually been told this or not)… And, oddly enough; returns mainstream science full-circle to the concept of an “Active Aether”. This idea of an “Active Aether” is exactly what “String”, “Quantum Field”, “Dark Matter & Dark Energy” theories imply: Whether we are specifically told this or not. And of course, energy that comes from this “Aether” cannot by definition conform to the old Conservation of Energy Laws at all.
Mr. Grosenick’s experiment differs significantly from any published ones seen to date: Instead of only measuring the photon light deflection in the “Horizontal Axis” as the original did, he also measures in the Vertical axis; rotating his device through 360 degrees. And when doing so, significant light bar deflection can be seen by the interferometers. The cleverly designed apparatus’ empirically-measured deflection also matches the predicted deflection that would exist by “Theory”; if there was in fact an “Active Aether”…. and by offsetting the device’s “angle of attack” (the actual measurement angle) by 45 degrees from the mechanical angle; he proves that the measured deflection is not an artifact of the equipment (virtually eliminating the possibilities of gravity-induced stresses; as when the device is at “45 degrees” of azimuth, the actual angle of the instrument’s measurements is at “90 degrees”, and there is no movement seen along the Horizontal plane at all.. the greatest movement is at “225 degrees Apparent” / “180 deg. Actual” (or the reciprocal); which would again follow “Aetheric Theory”; but does not follow any plausible “gravity-induced” mechanical stress profile for the equipment.
If this experiment holds-up to replication and Verification by others; this will help prove that there is indeed an “Active Aether” (or possibly point to interesting empirical proofs regarding the nature of Gravity). It is extraordinary news… but again, as with fellow-German, Professor Claus Turtur’s work; it was met with resounding silence in the U.S. mainstream scientific community, and not reported on outside of a few Internet mentions in forums. So far, apparently no Universities have openly tried to replicate this truly amazing experiment yet, which can be done at minimal cost. Why is that? This is “huge news” for the mainstream Physics community, refuting what was probably their most famous experiment of all time; yet it has apparently not even been discussed publicly at all by them.
Should this amazing data hold up to replication and third-party verification, this is the last nail in the “Laws of Thermodynamics” coffin, hammered down in the year 2009, ending the reign of these “immutable laws” for all time. Because an Active Aether, or what ever we want to now call it (“Dirac Sea”, “Quantum field” etc) has nothing to do with “CoE”, and is immune to these old “Laws”…that, it is very important to note, were only ever really “Theories” to begin with.
The Import, and Solution
No one is claiming that Newtonian Physics or the Laws of Thermodynamics are “completely wrong”. We are only stating, with proof, that they are not correct in every instance. And oddly enough, the above proofs show that the mainstream scientific community quietly agrees. But please note that it only takes one instance to prove that the laws can be “wrong”. And once this is fully understood, all the “Possibilities” regarding energy alternatives outside of the mainstream that have been ignored and derided in the past with the hackneyed old, negative epithet of “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”…. are suddenly “Possible”. And this is important to understand, because it will in fact eventually “Change Everything” regarding alternative energy research in the mainstream. Whether this incredibly important change happens “sooner”, or “later”, is still up for debate. Yet every year we delay is both a tragedy and a crime.
All information in this article can be verified as accurate; it is in the public domain (although much of it is unknown to over 99% of the population; because the mainstream media refused to report on most of these news events). Yet from previous experience, many of us strongly suspect that nothing will come of it all: Until Public Awareness grows to a point where, like with LENR / Cold Fusion in March 2009, it can no longer be plausibly denied and ignored by the government and the mainstream scientific community without their looking either utterly foolish, or corrupt. There are many possible reasons for this “deliberate ignorance” (.. perhaps more accurately termed, “suppression”), and to explore these subjects one must first understand that the result of a major sea-change in scientific understanding, publicly stated, is the first step in ending the incredible political power of “Big Oil”, the eventual end of “Coal” as a major fuel and pollutant, the lessening of the power and prestige of the monopoly private electrical Utilities, and in general, the end of the unprecedented control of every aspect of our economy by “fossil fuels”. So when “the money is followed”; it can be seen that in reality this is not a “Scientific” issue at all; but a “Political” one… and that this issue is the single most important one we face today, that directly challenges the largest, most powerful lobbies and private interest groups the world has ever seen.
But we concerned citizens of the Planet can help this information gain much greater Public Awareness, and thus “force” the issue: Reading this article and researching the information therein for yourselves is a good first step; sharing and discussing it with others is the next. Writing our Universities, asking them to honestly study energy alternatives (such as the “Rosemary Ainslie Circuit” detailed in an article linked below)… “Letting Them Know That We Know” these things are “Possible”; is another method. Contacting our elected government officials, so they can see that this information has finally reaching the masses and should be acted on because the “Plausible Deniability” regarding Energy alternatives is no longer valid, and the refusal to study these technologies important to us all increasingly appears to be highly suspicious and even “Criminal”… is yet another act that can benefit us all. In short, Grass Roots Activism is what will change this paradigm; and give us our Planet back.
We can no longer excuse, or accept the status quo regarding Energy. We are now at the point of serious, permanent jeopardy to our futures. It is not just about “profits” and “monopoly control” anymore: It is about our very existence as a species; our sacred Planet’s ability to survive and recover from the never-ending onslaught of pollution. It is about our ability to take back control of our own futures…. for the security and well being of our children and grandchildren.
Free Energy technologies do in fact exist, and they can no longer be called “Perpetual Motion Nonsense”. What is truly “nonsensical”, is continuing to allow our planet to be destroyed by the use of fossil fuels, because we cannot rid ourselves of proved-wrong, outmoded thinking patterns that refuse to accept the wonderful possibilities our future holds for us all.

Blacklight’s Plasma-based “Hydrino” Tech is Verified by Rowan U. as Overunity. The below article and Paper from Rowan University show that Blacklight has had important successes in 2009 . But what they don’t say is that the long-denied concepts of free energy are now proved possible… And what that could eventually mean for us all. Kudos to Rowan U. for being farsighted, courageous, and honest enough to take on this task despite the criticism that they risked. May many more universities finally remember their duty to Humanity and Science regarding “controversial” alternative energy technologies; and follow Rowan’s lead in 2010!

Martin Grosenick’s Michelson-Morley Experiment. This one needs public Verification and Replication by our Universities: Will they do so? Unlikely, unless “brow-beaten” into it by increased Public Awareness. From past experience, they will simply ignore it in the hope it goes away; as it raises inconvenient points and could prove to be quite an embarassment for them. It is truly sad that “Scientific Method” is not the main motivational factor in our scientific mainstream: “The Politics of Science” is. But we are hoping to be proved “wrong” here; and see this very interesting new twist on an old experiment replicated and reported on in the mainstream in 2010 .

“The Strange Case of the Rosemary Ainslie Circuit” Article: A recent public record of this successful 2009 Open Source Energy project that shows significant anomalous energy releases, manifest as excess heating of a resistive element. This circuit / effect, carefully documented and recorded by an Open Source Team with members living on three continents, is both a prime example of the power of Open Source research, and of our scientific mainstream ignoring and refusing to study “controversial” energy technologies (in this case, for over 6 years), despite significant Verification proofs laid before them. Many additional links can be found here. The Ainslie circuit, and many similar alternative energy technologies studied outside of the mainstream, can no longer be conveniently shrugged-off with the old “Perpetual Motion” epithet… That is all over now; and the plausible excuses for ignoring these technologies are gone forever.

Welcome.
Inspired by many who have come before me, my goal is to help in changing this planet for the better in any way i can. After becoming seriously jaded with our utterly corrupt political system, i decided that to accomplish this goal, what was required was to go to the roots of our most dangerous and pressing problems.... To focus on the barriers that are holding us back from real progress.
One of these highly important problems concerns Energy. There are many, many viable energy technologies that are clean, safe, and cheap.... That would allow people to produce their own energy without pollution, or the need to be tied to an electrical grid or gas station. For the last 100 years, we have been lied to about the existence of these technologies; and they are actively and sometimes violently suppressed by the "status quo" so that we will continue to use the maximim possible amount of fossil fuel. It is a monstrous evil, and whether it be by "conspiracy", or just the work of those who are selfish and greedy: The results are the same.
We are not allowed to benefit from these technologies... Those un-elected and nameless people behind the curtain who really control our society, do not want us to have them. Thus we are forced to continue using fossil fuels... enriching the polluters with trillions in easy profits, polluting the planet which our children depend on for their future, and insuring we remain locked into their hierarchical control.
We believe that the Open Source Energy Movement will change this paradigm... And allow us to break out of this disastrous spiral towards destruction. By avoiding the usual pitfalls that make it easy for the governments and energy cartels behind them to suppress these highly important energy technologies, the Open Source Energy movement spreads the vital information needed to create and replicate these technologies and devices world-wide via the Internet and other means... In a way that cannot be stopped by their usual illegal and utterly immoral methods of suppression (such as "secretizing" Patents, "Blacklisting" inventors, threats and murder, and corporate buy-outs resulting in "shelving").
Those interested in hearing more about these technologies can read my articles on the subject found several places round the 'web including "Op-Ed News", and/or visit the "The Free Energy Facebook Group" which I moderate at:
