                              FREE-ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
                         by Robert E. McElwaine, Physicist
            
                 Ninety to a hundred years ago, everybody "knew" that a 
            heavier-than-air machine could not possibly fly.  It would 
            violate the "laws" of physics.   All of the "experts" and 
            "authorities" said so. 
            
                 For example, Simon Newcomb declared in 1901:  "The 
            demonstration that no possible combination of known 
            substances, known forms of machinery and known forms of 
            force, can be united in a practical machine by which man 
            shall fly long distances through the air, seems to the writer 
            as complete as it is possible for the demonstration of any 
            physical fact to be." 
            
                 Fortunately, a few SMART people such as the Wright 
            Brothers did NOT accept such pronouncements as the final 
            word.  Now we take airplanes for granted, (except when they 
            crash). 
            
                 Today, orthodox physicists and other "scientists" are 
            saying similar things against several kinds of 'Free Energy' 
            Technologies, using negative terms such as "pseudo-science" 
            and "perpetual motion", and citing so-called "laws" which 
            assert that "energy cannot be created or destroyed" ("1st law 
            of thermodynamics") and "there is always a decrease in useful 
            energy" ("2nd law of thermodynamics").  The physicists do not 
            know how to do certain things, so they ARROGANTLY declare 
            that those things cannot be done.  Such PRINCIPLES OF 
            IMPOTENCE are COMMON in orthodox modern "science" and help to 
            cover up INCONSISTENCIES and CONTRADICTIONS in orthodox 
            modern theories. 
            
                 Free Energy Inventions are devices which can tap a 
            seemingly UNLIMITED supply of energy from the universe, with-
            OUT burning any kind of fuel, making them the PERFECT 
            SOLUTION to the world-wide energy crisis and its associated 
            pollution, degradation, and depletion of the environment. 
            
                 Most Free Energy Devices probably do not create energy, 
            but rather tap into EXISTING natural energy sources by 
            various forms of induction.  UNLIKE solar or wind devices, 
            they need little or no energy storage capacity, because they 
            can tap as much energy as needed WHEN needed.  Solar energy 
            has the DIS-advantage that the sun is often blocked by 
            clouds, trees, buildings, or the earth itself, or is reduced 
            by haze or smog or by thick atmosphere at low altitudes and 
            high latitudes.  Likewise, wind speed is WIDELY VARIABLE and 
            often non-existent.  Neither solar nor wind power are 
            suitable to directly power cars and airplanes.  Properly 
            designed Free Energy Devices do NOT have such limitations. 
            
                 For example, at least three U.S. patents (#3,811,058, 
            #3,879,622, and #4,151,431) have so far been awarded for 
            motors that run EXCLUSIVELY on permanent MAGNETS, seemingly 
            tapping into energy circulating through the earth's magnetic 
            field.  The first two require a feedback network in order to 
            be self-running.  The third one, (as described in detail in 
            "Science & Mechanics" magazine, Spring 1980), requires 
            critical sizes, shapes, orientations, and spacings of 
            magnets, but NO feedback.  Such a motor could drive an 
            electric generator or reversible heatpump in one's home, YEAR 
            ROUND, FOR FREE.  [Complete descriptive copies of U.S. 
            patents are $3.00 each from the U.S. Patent Office, 2021

            patent number required.  Or try getting copies via your local 
            public or university library's inter-library loan dept..] 
            
                 A second type of free-energy device, such as the 'Gray 
            Motor' (U.S. Patent #3,890,548), the 'Tesla Coil', and the 
            unpatented motor of inventor Joseph Newman, taps ELECTRO-
            MAGNETIC energy by INDUCTION from 'EARTH RESONANCE' (about 12 
            cycles per second plus harmonics).  They typically have a 
            'SPARK GAP' in the circuit which serves to SYNCHRONIZE the 
            energy in the coils with the energy being tapped.  It is 
            important that the total 'inductance' and 'capacitance' of 
            the Device combine to 'RESONATE' at the same frequency as 
            'EARTH RESONANCE' in order to maximize the power output.  
            This output can also be increased by centering the SPARK GAP 
            at the 'NEUTRAL CENTER' of a strong U-shaped permanent 
            magnet.  In the case of a Tesla Coil, slipping a 'TOROID 
            CHOKE COIL' around the secondary coil will enhance output 
            power.  ["Earth Energy: Fuelless Propulsion & Power Systems", 
            by John Bigelow, 1976, Health Research, P.O. Box 70, 
            Mokelumne Hill, CA  95245.] 
            
                 During the 1930's, an Austrian civil engineer named 
            Viktor Schauberger invented and partially developed an 
            'IMPLOSION TURBINE' (German name, 'ZOKWENDLE'), after 
            analyzing erosion, and lack of erosion, in differently shaped 
            waterways, and developing sophisticated mathematical 
            equations to explain it.  As described in the book "A 
            Breakthrough to New Free-Energy Sources", by Dan A. Davidson, 
            1977, water is pumped by an IMPELLER pump through a 
            LOGARITHMIC-SPIRAL-shaped coil of tubing until it reaches a 
            CRITICAL VELOCITY.  The water then IMPLODES, no longer 
            touching the inside walls of the tubing, and drives the pump, 
            which then converts the pump's motor into an ELECTRIC 
            GENERATOR.  The device seems to be tapping energy from that 
            of the earth's rotation, via the 'Coriolis effect', LIKE A 
            TORNADO. 
            
                 A fourth type of Free Energy Device is the 'McClintock 
            Air Motor' (U.S. Patent #2,982,261), which is a cross between 
            a diesel engine (it has three cylinders with a compression 
            ratio of 27 to 1) and a rotary engine (with solar and 
            planetary gears).  It burns NO FUEL, but becomes self-running 
            by driving its own air compressor.  This engine also 
            generates a lot of heat, which could be used to heat 
            buildings; and its very HIGH TORQUE makes it ideal for large 
            trucks, preventing their slowing down when climbing hills.  
            [David McClintock is also the REAL original Inventor of the 
            automatic transmission, differential, and 4-wheel drive.] 
            
                 Crystals may someday be used to supply energy, as shown 
            in the Star Trek shows, perhaps by inserting each one between 
            metal capacitor plates and bombarding it with a beam of 
            particles from a small radioactive source like that used in a 
            common household smoke detector. 
            
                 One other energy source should be mentioned here, 
            despite the fact that it does not fit the definition of Free 
            Energy.  A Bulgarian-born American Physicist named Joseph 
            Maglich has invented and partially developed an atomic FUSION 
            reactor which he calls 'Migma', which uses NON-radioactive 
            deuterium as a fuel [available in nearly UNLIMITED quantities 
            from sea water], does NOT produce radioactive waste, can be 
            converted DIRECTLY into electricity (with-OUT energy-wasting 
            steam turbines), and can be constructed small enough to power 
            a house or large enough to power a city.  And UNLIKE the 
            "Tokamaks" and laser fusion MONSTROSITIES that we read about, 
            Migma WORKS, already producing at least three watts of power 
            for every watt put in.  ["New Times" (U.S. version), 6-26-78, 
            pages 32-40.] 
            
                 And then there are the 'cold fusion' experiments that 
            have been in the news lately, originally conducted by 
            University of Utah researchers B. Stanley Pons and Martin 
            Fleischmann.  Some U.S. Navy researchers at the China Lake 
            Naval Weapons Center in California, under the direction of 
            chemist Melvin Miles, finally took the trouble to collect 
            the bubbles coming from such an apparatus, had them analyzed 
            with mass-spectrometry techniques, and found HELIUM 4, which 
            PROVES that atomic FUSION did indeed take place, and enough 
            of it to explain the excess heat generated.
            
                 There are GOOD INDICATIONS that the two so-called "laws" 
            of thermodynamics are NOT so "absolute".  For example, the 
            late Physicist Dewey B. Larson developed a comprehensive 
            GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical universe, which he 
            calls the 'Reciprocal System', (which he describes in detail 
            in several books such as "Nothing But Motion" (1979) and "The 
            Universe of Motion" (1984)), in which the physical universe 
            has TWO DISTINCT HALVES, the material half and an anti-matter 
            half, with a CONTINUOUS CYCLE of matter and energy passing 
            between them, with-OUT the "heat death" predicted by 
            thermodynamic "laws".  His Theory explains the universe MUCH 
            BETTER than modern orthodox theories, including phenomena 
            that orthodox physicists and astronomers are still scratching 
            their heads about, and is SELF-CONSISTENT in every way.  Some 
            Free Energy Devices might be tapping into that energy flow, 
            seemingly converting "low-quality energy" into "high-quality 
            energy". 
            
                 Also, certain religious organizations such as 'Sant Mat' 
            and 'Eckankar' teach their Members that the physical universe 
            is only the LOWEST of at least a DOZEN major levels of 
            existence, like parallel universes, or analogous to TV 
            channels, as described in books like "The Path of the 
            Masters", by Julian Johnson, 1939, and "Eckankar: The Key to 
            Secret Worlds", by Sri Paul Twitchell, 1969.  For example, 
            the next level up from the physical universe is commonly 
            called the 'Astral Plane'.  Long-time Members of these groups 
            have learned to 'Soul Travel' into these higher worlds and 
            report on conditions there.  It seems plausible that energy 
            could flow down from these higher levels into the physical 
            universe, or be created at the boundary between them, given 
            the right configuration of matter to channel it.  This is 
            supported by many successful laboratory-controlled 
            experiments in PSYCHO-KINESIS throughout the world, such as 
            those described in the book "Psychic Discoveries Behind the 
            Iron Curtain". 
            
                 In terms of economics, the market has FAILED.  Inventors 
            do not have enough money and other resources to fully develop 
            and mass-produce Free Energy Equipment, and the conventional 
            energy producer$ have no desire to do so because of their 
            VE$TED INTERE$T$.  The government is needed to intervene.  If 
            the government does not intervene, then the total supply of 
            energy resources from the earth will continue to decline and 
            will soon run out, prices for energy will increase, and 
            pollution and its harmful effects (including the 'GREENHOUSE 
            EFFECT', acid rain, smog, radioactive contamination, oil 
            spills, rape of the land by strip mining, etc.) will continue 
            to increase. 
            
                 The government should SUBSIDIZE research and development 
            of Free Energy by Inventors and universities, subsidize 
            private production (until the producers can make it on their 
            own), and subsidize consumption by low-income consumers of 
            Free Energy Hardware. 
            
                 The long-range effects of such government intervention 
            would be wide-spread and profound.  The quantity of energy 
            demanded from conventional energy producer$ (coal mining 
            companie$, oil companie$ and countries, electric utilitie$, 
            etc.) would drop to near zero, forcing their employees to 
            seek work elsewhere.  Energy resources (coal, uranium, oil, 
            and gas) would be left in the ground.  Prices for 
            conventional energy supplies would also drop to near zero, 
            while the price of Free Energy Equipment would start out high 
            but drop as supply increases (as happened with VCR's, 
            personal computers, etc.).  Costs of producing products that 
            require large quantities of energy to produce would decrease, 
            along with their prices to consumers.  Consumers would be 
            able to realize the "opportunity costs" of paying electric 
            utility bills or buying home heating fuel.  Tourism would 
            benefit and increase because travelers would not have to 
            spend their money for gasoline for their cars.  Government 
            tax revenue from gasoline and other fuels would have to be 
            obtained in some other way.  And energy could no longer be 
            used as a MOTIVE OR EXCUSE FOR MAKING WAR. 
            
                 Many conventional energy producer$ would go out of 
            business, but society as a whole, and the earth's environment 
            and ecosystems, would benefit greatly.  It is the People, 
            that government should serve, rather than the big 
            corporation$ and bank$. 
            
  
                 UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this 
            IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED.
