Man Invents Gas Saving Device

Man Invents Gas Saving Device

Posted by keelynet on February 12, 2008
This is all the information I could find on this invention. I wish they would provide some numbers to show horsepower and efficiencies as it worries me to read he cuts fuel in half when the engine is running. Lots of them rely on heaters and vaporizing systems and you can find out a lot of details in my ebook on 14 Ways to save on Gas.
“Fred Craine has invented a gas saving device he calls “Mylege Mastre.” “It has never failed,” says Craine. Craine says his invention saves gas and reduces gas emissions. Craine says, “I’m getting 42 miles to the gallon on this car (a 1998 Ford Taurus). On the other car, I got 60.” He says the electronic device is designed for fuel-injected engines. At speeds of 35 miles an hour or better, he says you press a switch and the “Mylege Mastre” cuts off the fuel to half of the engine saving gas. “The secret of the invention is the simplicity and dependability of it,” says Engle. Engle is encouraging Craine to take the “Mylege Mastre” to market. “I’d like America to use this device to reduce their gas bills. I don’t want to take it to the oil companies because they will throw it away,” says Craine. Craine says his “Mylege Mastre” will sell for $35 to $70, depending on the size of the engine and if the vehicle has cruise control. He says it works on any four, six, or eight cylinder engine and takes about an hour to install. Craine plans to explore the possibility of registering his invention with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.” – Source

Watson Solar House

Watson Solar House

Please click on the above tabs for more information.

Background

This page documents our solar cell project on our home in Boston Massachusetts which went online February 11th, 2004. A friend forwarded me an article from the Boston Globe newspaper (local copy) about solar power grants through Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) and the state. We immediately signed up for more information via the web, did some research, and got on their list.
Our program is managed or sponsored by MIT but a number of companies in Massachusetts are installing systems under the MTC grant. Our system was installed by CSGS Renewables from Westborough, MA who did a good job -- although I don't have anyway of comparing their work or attention. Certainly they have answered all of our questions (and we've asked a ton), have been very flexible, contracted with good installers, and in general have been a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately they may no longer be in the business of doing residential installations.
The grant, from the MTC which is funded (I think) with public and private monies, is a 2 step process. They give an installation rebate which covered 1/2 of the up-front costs ($16k) and a production incentive of $0.38/kwh for the first 3 years of production (~$7k). The system would have been much more expensive and would have paid for itself only after 20 years without these grants. It looks like they are still accepting applications for new grants as of 1/2006.

SolarCity Acquires Building Solutions, Integrates Solar Power and Energy Efficiency Services

Nation's Leading Full-Service Solar Provider Plans to Roll Out Energy Efficiency Services to Customers Across Its Service Area




FOSTER CITY, Calif., May 12, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SolarCity(R), the company that has enabled thousands of U.S. homeowners, businesses and nonprofits to pay less for solar power than they previously paid for electricity from the local power grid, will now also provide energy efficiency services to further lower energy costs. The company today announced that it has acquired the assets of Building Solutions, a leading energy efficiency services and technology provider. The acquisition will allow SolarCity to roll out a wide range of energy-saving services including home energy evaluations; efficient heating, cooling and lighting; water heating; and duct and building envelope sealing. SolarCity plans to extend integrated solar and energy efficiency services across its service areas in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon and Texas.
The addition of energy efficiency will allow SolarCity to build on its strengths in financing, energy monitoring and customer service to provide additional ways for homeowners to save money by addressing a broader set of their energy needs. When the integration is complete, SolarCity expects to be able to complete hundreds of energy efficiency projects each month, representing the largest capacity for energy efficiency services in the U.S.
"We've been in the business of enabling customers to save money by generating clean energy, and now we can help customers save more money by using less energy," said Peter Rive, co-founder and chief operating officer of SolarCity. "Our new services will help customers reduce their total energy bills by addressing natural gas usage as well as electricity."
SolarCity is introducing energy efficiency services at a time when national enthusiasm for energy-saving measures is increasing. The U.S. House of Representatives last week voted to approve the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act, better known as "cash for caulkers," which would extend $5.7 billion in rebates to U.S. homeowners that invest in energy efficiency improvements. Fifteen U.S. states have passed legislation to enable Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing to make energy efficiency projects more affordable.
"Building Solutions has built the most advanced set of software tools for assessing energy efficiency return-on-investment that we've seen," added Rive. "This integrated software platform, combined with the momentum from emerging financing mechanisms like PACE, will enable us to make energy efficiency services far more affordable and accessible."
Both SolarCity and Building Solutions have developed extensive software portfolios to support their service offerings. SolarCity will integrate its proprietary solar project modeling, management and monitoring software with Building Solutions' Web-based energy efficiency assessment software to create a powerful new analytical tool. SolarCity will be capable of calculating and presenting optimal energy and cost-saving recommendations to homeowners based on their homes' architecture, electricity and gas usage, ventilation, appliance selection, heating and cooling equipment and a range of other factors. SolarCity's PowerGuide(TM) remote energy usage monitoring platform will also help customers identify additional opportunities to save energy and money even after efficiency improvements have been made.
"We've felt for some time that we had developed a product and service offering with tremendous potential, and we've been looking for ways to help it benefit more homeowners," said James Quazi, co-founder and president of Building Solutions. "We've been working with SolarCity for years, and have been consistently impressed with the growth, breadth and scale of the company's operations. SolarCity's financing options, operational capabilities and service footprint create a means to deliver energy efficiency services to far more customers than we could reach on our own."
SolarCity's acquisition of Building Solutions' assets follows a close partnership in which Building Solutions provided home energy evaluations to SolarCity customers. Every Building Solutions employee has been retained by SolarCity, and no SolarCity positions will be eliminated as a result of the acquisition. Both companies are privately held, and financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. For more information about SolarCity's energy efficiency services, please visit http://www.solarcity.com/residential/energy-efficiency.aspx.

April, 2010 Power Generation Report: We generated 332 kWhrs of electricity from our array giving us a four-month total of 1,488 kWhrs. That keeps up on track for at least 4,000 kWhrs for the year. The panels and inverters continue to provide dependable service.
March Cold Frames: March is harvest time in our cold frames. The lettuce on the right was planted and cut several times last fall. It rests during December and January, but then re-emerges in February.
While warm-weather vegetables can't be planted until mid-June, it's great to begin to see our cool-weather crops happy and healthy in the early spring.
March, 2010 Power Generation: We generated 478 kWhrs in March...a strong month in spite of rainy days.

Backwoods Solar Electric Systems


Solar Electricity for your Remote Home


If utility lines are not available to your remote home-site, Backwoods Solar Electric Systems suggests natural electricity sources. Safe and free energy already on your site, from sunlight, wind, or falling water, can produce home electricity for most electrical needs, without the cost of extending power lines, and with no monthly power bill. This is the focus of  Backwoods Solar Electric. Kyocera KC167G ModuleSOLAR ELECTRIC MODULES convert sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts, no maintenance, no fuel, and no pollution. This is the most environmentally friendly way to produce power. Solar electric modules last decades, and offer a 20 to 25-year warranty on power. Best of all, you will help show the world a better way.
SMALL HYDRO POWER brings water downhill in a 2" to 4" plastic pipe, to jet through a nozzle and spin an alternator 24 hours a day. You get more power for less cost than from any other source. You need a stream flowing over 10 gallons per minute, and elevation drop of 20 to 100 feet.
WIND POWER can be effective, but only on a site with average wind speed over 10 mph. Wind can work along with solar generation to provide more uniform power input.
ENGINE GENERATOR as backup provides total security for extended bad weather.
    An Independent natural power system typically produces just 10% to 25% of the electricity consumed by a utility powered American home. That is about 1 to 5 or at most 10 kilowatt hours of electricity on a sunny day. 
    Rather than major life-style changes, we learn to consume a small percentage of the power others use. Here is how:
    The amount of power a solar electric system collects depends on the natural energy resources at your location and on how much equipment you install to gather that energy. How much benefit you receive from that energy depends on careful selection of lights and appliances that use about 1/4 as much power, for radical energy efficiency, and on your conservation habits. This means using special lights, refrigerators, and freezers that use about 1/4 as much power as typical models do. It means using natural gas or propane for major heat production in  cooking, water heating, clothes drier, and home heating. (It's best to include passive solar home design and wood heat where possible). 
WHAT YOU CAN DO
    Most household appliances and lights use only a little electricity, easily supplied by the sun, wind and, micro-hydro. Solar electric homes convert most of their power to 120 volt AC to use as needed for household appliances and lights. Most common are lights, water pump, TV-VCR-Satellite, computer, stereo, vacuum cleaner, kitchen appliances sewing machine, power tools and office equipment. Even high wattage appliances like microwave oven, hair drier, toaster and clothes washer consume little power because their actual running time is short. Various water pumps, including deep well pumps up to 1/2 horsepower, are used. Special design electric refrigerators and freezers save energy in a solar home; gas and small DC powered refrigerators are also used.    
    Before we moved, Just five kilowatt hours per day ran  Backwoods Solar business, shop, and home. The business used three or four computers all day, lights for 5 workers, photocopy machine, postage machine, phone, fax, and paging system, business communication radio, electrical workbench, one room evaporative cooler, a small window air conditioner, and central vacuum system. The home included lights, microwave oven, range hood, juicer, refrigerators, freezer, TV, satellite, VCR, 2 stereos, clothes washer, deep well pump, compost toilet fan, vacuum cleaner, fans, electric lawn mower, electric roto-tiller & electric weed eater, plus a mechanical shop building full of power tools.
WHAT YOU CAN NOT DO
    No Major Electric Heat Producing Appliances: Electric heat, electric hot water, electric cook stove, electric heated clothes drier, and air conditioner account for 80 percent of typical monthly electric bills. It is absolutely not practical to operate major heating appliances with electricity. These use from twenty to one hundred times the power your TV uses. Other fuels produce heat at a much lower cost. Use wood  or propane fueled furnaces; propane cook stoves and water heaters; use gas fired clothes dryers (or just a rope in the sun). Building homes with passive solar heat design saves heating fuel for the rest of our life. Read our energy efficient appliance section for more information on ways to use less power.
    Avoid Most Large Refrigerators and Freezers: Standard, non-Energy Star rated refrigerators have poor insulation and run long hours every day. Most still use well over 1.5 kilowatt hours per day, over 450 kilowatt hours per year. Careful shopping can turn up a few models using less power. Special electric refrigerators and freezers designed for solar powered homes use much less power, and are shown in our Refrigeration section. These highly insulated units can save 50% of the energy consumed by most ordinary refrigerators. Your savings in total cost of your power generating equipment are greater than the added cost of efficient appliances. Propane refrigerators are another good option.
    Air Conditioning: is too energy intensive to be practical, other than a window unit in a very large solar power system. Evaporative cooling- swamp coolers work well in non-humid areas.

HOW TO DESIGN FOR LOW ENERGY NEEDS 
Lights and appliances are carefully selected for lowest power consumption, so you can get the most benefits from the fixed amount of power available. When visiting a well designed solar electric home, you might not even notice the difference until someone tells you.
We install extra wall switches to cut off power from phantom electric loads, that is, things like stereo, TV, garage door openers, and office equipment which consume power full time, even when not used. We specially wire doorbells, wireless phones, and motion sensor lights to low voltage DC electricity from the battery, so they use little or no  power when idling. We use motion sensor and timer switches for outdoor lights. We use heating systems that distribute heat without needing pumps or blowers. Cooling is evaporative instead of air conditioning. And we learn how to operate our homes to get the most benefit from the fewest kilowatt-hours. 
1. Design whole house (water, heat, power) for low energy use. Use propane or other fuels, never electricity, for all major heating appliances. This means furnace and room heaters, kitchen range or stove, water heater, and clothes dryer should use propane, oil, natural gas, wood, thermal solar, whatever; but NOT electricity. Also choose convection furnaces or vented heaters  that require no electricity to operate or distribute their heat. Use evaporative coolers instead of air conditioning.
2. Carefully select very special low energy lights and appliances. Solar electric homes use special electric refrigerators and freezers that do the job using only 1/4 as much power.  (Some use gas refrigerators). Prices are more than conventional appliances, but savings in the cost of the energy system are greater than the appliance cost because fewer solar modules and batteries are required. Our appliance planning page has the details. Many of these special appliances and lights are available from the Backwoods Solar catalog. 
3. Eliminate waste of energy by appliances, and by human carelessness. Use timer switches for outdoor lights and maybe in children's rooms, and shut off lights when they are not directly being used. Learn where your energy is going and see if each load is necessary. For example, even when switched off, some appliances draw power all the time, (Stereo, TV, VCR, some office equipment, garage door openers etc). These particular items, called phantom loads, should be disconnected completely by a wall switch or switched outlet strip, when not in use. Our wiring planning page has more tips on setting up the house to need less energy. 
After meeting those three measures, a practical and affordable solar electric system (or wind, or micro-hydro or a combination) can provide electricity for your home.
HOW IT WORKS
    The short version is that power produced by sunlight, wind, or waterpower is stored in batteries. Though limited in quantity, the power from the batteries is available to be used at any time needed day or night.  Generated as low voltage DC, the power is usually converted to regular 120 volt AC as it is taken out of the batteries, for use in standard household appliances. 
    If you are interested in the details of how the equipment is laid out and exactly what components are used, click on our technical overview page.
WHAT WILL IT COST?
Cost is lowered by using special high efficiency appliances as described above, and by habits of energy conservation. The amount of power you will actually have depends on the natural energy resources at your site, and how much equipment you install to collect the energy.
The total cost of an independent power system can range from about $800 to $31,000, depending on the level of power you desire. The next page helps find your position in that range by offering six examples, ranging from the smallest to the largest, comparing lifestyle, equipment list, and total cost for each. Average cost is about the same as the expense of extending utility lines 1/3 to 2/3 mile. Check into our system sizing examples page for this specific information.
There are some tax credits available as well as state rebates which you can research at Department of Energy (800)363-3732 and  http://www.eren.doe.gov,  which contains references for what is available in your state.

Wind Power

Wind Power

    
--------

Wind power can be an excellent complement to a solar power system. Here in Colorado, when the sun isn't shining, the wind is usually blowing. Wind power is especially helpful here in the winter to capture both the ferocious and gentle mountain winds during the times of least sunlight and highest power use. In most locations (including here) wind is not suitable as the ONLY source of power--it simply fills in the gaps left by solar power quite nicely.


OPTIONS FOR GETTING STARTED IN WIND POWER


Build your own!

Homebrew Wind Power by Dan Bartmann and Dan Fink.The best book out there about building and flying do-it-yourself wind turbines. We know, because we wrote it!
Order it from our Online Store HERE.
Building a wind generator from scratch is not THAT difficult of a project. You will need a shop with basic power and hand tools, and some degree of dedication. Large wind generators of 2000 Watts and up are a major project needing very strong construction, but smaller ones in the 700-1000 Watt, 8-11 foot range can be built fairly easily! In fact, we highly recommend that you tackle a smaller wind turbine before even thinking about building a large one. You'll need to be able to cut and weld steel, and a metal lathe can be handy (though you could hire a machine shop that turns brake rotors do do some small steps for you). In most locations, GENTLE winds (5-15 mph) are the most common, and strong winds are much more rare. As you'll see by examining our latest machines, our philosophy about designing wind turbines is to make large, sturdy machines that produce good power in low wind speeds, and are able to survive high wind events while still producing maximum power. The power available in the wind goes up by a factor of 8 as the windspeed doubles.
Other critical factors are rotor size and tower height. The power a wind turbine can harvest goes up by at least a factor of 4 as you double the rotor size. And making a tower higher gets you above turbulence for better performance and substially increased power output. Putting a wind turbine on a short tower is like mounting solar panels in the shade!
Before you jump into building your own wind turbine or buying a commercial one, do your homework! There are certain things that work and certain things that don't, and you can save hours and dollars by learning from other people's successes and mistakes. Some recommended reading:

  • Our book Homebrew Wind Power covers everything you need to know about the physics behind turning moving air into electricity, and includes detailed, step-by-step illustrated instructions on how to build a 10-foot diameter, 1 kilowatt turbine. And much more, including controls, wiring, towers, and troubleshooting.
  • Our article The Bottom Line About Wind Turbines is an essential introduction to wind power. It covers the basics of how wind comes to us, how much power different size wind turbines can make in different wind regimes, and has a very handy section on detecting wind turbine scams.
  • Otherpower.com's Wind Turbine User's Manual should also be considered essential reading, especially BEFORE you take the plunge and buy or build a wind turbine. It will fill you in on exactly what you are getting yourself into with wind power, including towers, installation, controllers, and troubleshooting. It can be downloaded for free from that page, and is available in printed form through our Online Store.

    Axial Flux Wind Turbine Plans by Hugh Piggott.The newest version (August 2008) of Hugh's classic wind turbine plans set.
    Order it from our Online Store HERE.
  • Wind power information from homebrew wind power guru Hugh Piggott's website. We've learned a BUNCH from Hugh.
  • Hugh Piggott's book Windpower Workshop is an indispensable reference for anyone that's thinking about building a wind turbine. His Axial Flux Alternator Windmill Plans are very detailed and highly recommended.
  • Homebrew wind power infomation from Ed Lenz's Windstuffnow.com, a highly informative website.
  • Read the Renewable energy FAQs on the Otherpower discussion board, and Search the Otherpower.com discussion board. It's highly active and populated by windpower experts and hobbyists worldwide. If you still can't find and answer, by all means please join the board and ask your question there!
  • DanF's series on Small Wind Turbine Basics, published in the Energy Self Sufficiency Newsletter:
    • Part 1 -- How wind turbines work, power available in the wind, swept area, average wind speed and what it really means. The basic essentials!
    • Part 2 -- High wind survival mechanisms, wind turbine types, drag vs. lift machines, HAWTs vs. VAWTs, tip speed ratio, blade design, and lots of cool pictures and diagrams.

University Test For Free Energy Motor

Friday, April 23, 2010


Turkish inventor Muammer Yildiz has just given a presentation of his all magnet motor to an audience of scientists at Delft University in The Netherlands. When the demo is finished the motor is disassembled for all to see.



The demonstration is quite noisy as the device turns a fan and it appears to show the device producing approx 200-600 watts of power. There is talk of the demonstration being taken to other European countries including Germany.

The following text was also translated from Turkish from a previous video.

"He took out the patent for his device on december,2009. The public demonstration will be on May, 2010 at Germany. German and Dutch scholars have examined the device for days. Under confidentiality agreements with large companies have signed a contract...."

Yildiz has 3 patents that turn up in a search of the European Patent Office

Electrical Engineer: My Solid State Orbo Blog And Results

Friday, April 30, 2010



Phil Watson (not initially pictured here) is featured on this video from over a year ago.

One of the 3 engineers featured on the Steorn video "Engineers' view of Steorn's Orbo technology" - Phil Watson, has set up his own blog to document the process of testing the new Solid State Orbo system and has stated he will take a working device on tour locally.

Phil Watson is an accomplished electrical engineer based in Ireland and was one of three independent engineers who over a year ago, confirmed unexplainable gains of energy in Steorn test rigs they built themselves.

On his blog Phil says:

"Steorn first demonstrated the Orbo to me in 2008. What was demonstrated back then was a ‘Test-Rig’ that could be used to detect, measure and record the anomaly that Steorn had claimed they discovered".

"The next generation of Orbo was the one demonstrated in Dublin in january 2010. Since then Steorn have launched yet another version. This one being the ‘Solid State’ (as Steorn call it) model. It is this model that I am carrying out independent tests on."

"The Solid State Orbo is comprised of several solenoids and a toroid."

"I am not going to claim anything about this devices (sic) and it’s apparent anomaly but I won’t hide from the results either. Unlike a lot of chatter on the net about the Orbo I have actually worked on it. In fact I’ve been exposed to all the different versions of it.
This blog will be dealing with the ‘Solid State’ version."


"First up I don’t like the term Solid State Orbo as to me it implies that it is semiconductor based. Which it is not, it basically (sic) a device that has no moving parts. It relies on a rotating magnetic field in the same way that a 3-phase induction motor does."

"The method by which the field is rotated is quite clever but unfortunately at this time I can’t go into the details of it in the public domain."

His team named on the project blog are:

Phil Watson
Donal O’Donovan
Tony Wilson

"We plan to demonstrate the Solid State ORBO at various locations around the Cork area. ASSUMING IT DOES WHAT IT SAY’S..."

"As things are still at the early stage and as we don’t have enough test results yet --- we don’t know where or when we’ll demo it. Watch this space."

Top 10 Impossible Inventions that work

Top 10 Impossible Inventions that work

Jeane Manning

Index of Issue 4
When Leonardo da Vinci sketched out an impossible invention, fifteenth-century scholars probably put him down. Forget it, Leon. If machines could fly, we'd know about it.
Throughout history, experts tell innovators that their inventions are impossible. A few examples:
  • The English Academy of Science laughed at Benjamin Franklin when he reported his discovery of the lightning rod, and the Academy refused to publish his report.
  • A gathering of German engineers in 1902 ridiculed Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin for claiming to invent a steerable balloon. (Later, Zeppelin airships flew commercially across the Atlantic.)
  • Major newspapers ignored the historic 1903 flight of the Wright brothers airplane because Scientific American suggested the flight was a hoax, and for five years officials in Washington, D.C. did not believe that the heavier-than-air machine had flown.
Perhaps in the 21st century the following inventions will be standard science, and a history student may wonder why 20th-century pundits disregarded them.

1. THE SPACE ENERGY CONVERTER This class of inventions could wipe out oil crises and help solve environmental problems. More commonly called free energy or fuel-less electric generators, they put out more power than goes into them from any previously recognized source. No batteries, no fuel tank and no link with a wall socket. Instead, they tap an invisible source of power. Such unorthodox clean energy-producing devices exist today and were built as far back as the l9th century.
Forget the Rube Goldberg mechanical perpetual motion contraptions; they had to stop eventually. In contrast, new solid-state (no moving parts) energy converters are said to draw from an energy field in surrounding space. This source of abundant power is known by physicists as the zero-point quantum fluctuations of vacuum space. Zero-point refers to the fact that even at a temperature at which heat movement in molecules stops cold, zero degrees Kelvin, there is still a jiggling movement, said to be from inter-dimensional fluctuations or cosmic energy. Magnetism and vortexian or spin-upon-a-spin motions seem to line up these random fluctuations of space and put them to work, as in the Searl Effect (Atlantis Rising, first issue).
Inventors give various names to their space-energy converters. In the 1930s a scientist in Utah, T. Henry Moray, invented a Radiant Energy device powered from the sea of energy in which the earth floats. This sea that surrounds us, Moray said, is packed with rays which constantly pierce the earth from all directions, perhaps from countless galaxies. Converting this cosmic background radiation into a strange cold form of electricity, his device lit incandescent bulbs, heated a flat iron and ran a motor. His sons say he was thanked with bullets and other harassments, but that's another story.
A spiritual commune in Switzerland had a tabletop free energy device running in greenhouses for years, but members feared that outsiders would turn the technology into weaponry. Before the commune closed its doors to snoopers, European engineers witnessed the converter putting out thousands of watts. However, most other unorthodox energy technologies are still at the stage of unreliable, crude prototypes. (So was the Wrights first airplane; it only flew about a hundred feet.)
The inventor of AC (alternating current) electrical generating and transmission systems, the genius Nikola Tesla (1857-1943), was said to have run a Pierce-Arrow car on a free energy device in the 1930s. Although that's difficult to document now, we have his word that it's possible. It is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature, said Tesla.
It may have been done before Tesla's time. Among the free energy inventions of John Worrell Keely (1827-1898) is the Hydro Pneumo-Pulsating-Vacuo motor that used cavitation (implosion) of water. Although Keely reached an advanced understanding of the science of vibrations, he failed to develop machines which other people could operate. Progress continues from other directions, a company in Georgia is selling water cavitation devices that range from 110 per cent to 300 per cent efficient.
Up in Vancouver, Canada, Tesla researcher John Hutchison says he has a feel for the natural flows of a subtle primal energy. In the spring of 1995 he showed his latest invention to the author and a mechanical engineer. The Hutchison Converter involves crystalline materials and the principle of electrical resonance. He twirls a few knobs to tune it, and the energy flow is amplified until it runs a one-inch diameter Radio Shack motor. The whirring of a small propeller isn't too impressive until you remember that there are no batteries and the device runs for days at a time.
The garage inventors come from many backgrounds. Wingate Lambertson Ph.D. of Florida, former executive director of Kentucky's science and technology commission, invented a device which converts the space energy fluctuations into electricity which lights a row of lamps. This dignified former professor took a roundabout route to the free-energy scene. In the mid-1960s he read There Is a River by Thomas Sugree, who writes about the destruction of Atlantis through misuse of a crystal energy collector. Lambertson's psychic friend later offered to collaborate on replicating the first Atlantean energy converter, but Lambertson eventually turned to his own knowledge of ceramics and metals to develop an energy converter. Neither his nor other known zero-point energy conversion methods of today are based on the first Atlantean crystal method, because the researchers found better methods. Also, the concept of a central power station providing electric power to a nation is obsolete, says Dr. Lambertson. Small energy converters will follow the path of the personal converter.


2. COLD FUSION In Japan, cold fusion is called New Hydrogen Energy, and that oil-dependent nation welcomes successful experiments. In contrast, two pioneering experimenters were hounded out of North America. David Lewis described this scene as Heavy Watergate in Atlantis Rising, issue two.
Update: A successful experiment was served up in Monte Carlo in April, at the Fifth International Conference on Cold Fusion. Clean Energy Technologies Inc. of Florida demonstrated a cold fusion cell with energy output as much as ten times more than input. Other companies are also gambling on this new source of heat energy which could drive electric generators.
What exactly causes atomic nuclei to fuse, and release energy, without extreme high temperatures and pressures? A Romanian physicist writing in Infinite Energy magazine, Dr. Peter Gluck, wonders if it could be only partly a catalytic nuclear effect, and partly a catalytic quantum effect providing the capture of the zero-point energy, The ubiquitous z-p energy.


3. SYSTEM TO SPLIT WATER FOR FUEL BY USING RESONANCE Another variation on the water-fuel theme relies more on vibrations than on chemistry. At more than 100 per cent efficiency, such a system produces hydrogen gas and oxygen from ordinary water at normal temperatures and pressure.
One example is U.S. Patent 4,394,230, Method and Apparatus for Splitting Water Molecules, issued to Dr. Andrija Puharich in 1983. His method made complex electrical wave forms resonate water molecules and shatter them, which freed hydrogen and oxygen. By using Tesla's understanding of electrical resonance, Puharich was able to split the water molecule much more efficiently than the brute-force electrolysis that every physics student knows. (Resonance is what shatters a crystal goblet when an opera singer hits the exact note which vibrates with the crystal's molecular structure.)
Puharich reportedly drove his mobile home using only water as fuel for several hundred thousand kilometers in trips across North America. In a high Mexican mountain pass he had to make do with snow for fuel. Splitting water molecules as needed in a vehicle is more revolutionary than the hydrogen-powered systems with which every large auto manufacturer has dallied. With the on-demand system, you don't need to carry a tank full of hydrogen fuel which could be a potential bomb.
Another inventor who successfully made fuel out of water on the spot was the late Francisco Pacheco of New Jersey. The Pacheco Bi-Polar Auto electric Hydrogen Generator (U.S. Patent No. 5,089,107) separated hydrogen from seawater as needed.
A pioneer in breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen without heat or ordinary electricity, John Worrell Keely reportedly performed feats which 20th-century science is unable to duplicate. He worked with sound and other vibrations to set machines into motion. To liberate energy in molecules of water, Keely poured a quart of water into a cylinder where tuning forks vibrated at the exact frequency to liberate the energy. Does this mean he broke apart the water molecules and liberated hydrogen, or did he free a more primal form of energy? The records which could answer such questions are lost. However, a century later, Keely is being vindicated. One scientist recently discovered that Keely was correct in predicting the exact frequency which would burst apart a water molecule. Keely understood atoms to be intricate vibratory phenomena.


4. SYSTEM FOR SENDING POWER WIRELESSLY Look, Mom Earth, no power lines!
Tesla may have wanted to voice such a boast, but it didn't turn out that way; the world is crisscrossed with transmission lines for the electrical power grid. His invention for sending electrical power wirelessly wasn't too popular on Wall Street.
Before the power brokers figured out what he was up to, Tesla built a tower-topped laboratory near what is now Colorado Springs. He filled the mountain air with thunderous manmade lightning bolts and pounded the earth with electrical oscillations as he tested ideas about electrical resonance. Then he returned to New York to build Wardenclyffe, a complex wooden tower on Long Island from which he planned to send both communications and power wirelessly. When banker J. Pierpont Morgan realized Tesla could make it possible for anyone to stick an antenna in the ground anywhere and get electrical power, the banker cut off the inventor's funding and blocked other financial deals that Tesla tried to make. Wardenclyffe tower was torn down and sold for scrap.
In recent years, scientists such as James Corum Ph.D. have learned that Tesla did successfully test a wireless system in Colorado. For example, Tesla knew specific frequencies associated with the earth-ionosphere waveguide, knowledge he could not have had in the nineteenth century unless he had sent electrical oscillations wirelessly.


5. ANTI-GRAVITY DEVICE In 1923 Townsend T. Brown's simple flying discs demonstrated a connection between electricity and gravitation. Working along these lines for twenty-eight- more years, Brown patented (U.S. Patents 2,949,550, 3,018,394 and others) an electrostatic propulsion method. Starting with two-feet-in-diameter suspended discs flying around a pole at seventeen feet per second, he increased the size by a third, and the discs flew so fast that the results were highly classified, said an international aviation magazine in 1956. Before the end of his life Brown had apparatus that could lift itself directly when electricity was applied. He died in 1985.
The bottom line: if electrogravitics is developed, we could have an electric spacecraft technology which does not obey known electromagnetic principles. The craft would thrust in any direction, without moving engine parts. No gears, shafts, propellers or wheels.
Coupling effects between electricity or magnetism and gravity are shown by other experimenters, including David Hamel of Ontario and Floyd Sparky Sweet of California. At a 1981 symposium in Toronto, Rudolf Zinsser of Germany demonstrated a device (U.S. Patent 4,085,384) that propelled itself, according to credible witnesses such as professional engineer George Hathaway. Zinsser claimed his specifically shaped pulses of electromagnetic waves altered the local gravitational field.
Hathaway collaborated in the mid-1980s with John Hutchison on action-at-a-distance experiments in which heavy pieces of metal levitated and shot toward the ceiling when put in a complex electromagnetic field, and some metal samples shredded anomalously. Visitors to the laboratory came from Los Alamos and the Canadian department of defense. (The military is a quantum leap ahead of the academics in spooky science.)
Read the first issue of Atlantis Rising for a fascinating antigravity story, John Searle's levity disk generator.


6. A METHOD FOR TRANSMUTATION OF ELEMENTS Changing atomic elements or making elements appear mysteriously? It sounds like impossible alchemy, but experimenters recently did this, without Big Science particle accelerators. These scientists learned from a metaphysician, Walter Russell (1871-1963). During vivid spiritual experiences, Russell had seen everything in the universe, from the atom to outer space, being formed by an invisible background geometry. Russell not only portrayed his visions in paintings, he also learned science. He was so far ahead that in 1926 he predicted tritium, deuterium, neptunium, plutonium and other elements.
Recently, professional engineers Ron Kovac and Toby Grotz of Colorado, with help from Dr. Tim Binder, repeated Russell's 1927 work, which was verified at the time by Westinghouse Laboratories. Russell found a novel way to change the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water vapor inside a sealed quartz tube, or to change the vapor to completely different elements. Their conclusion agrees with Russell: the geometry of motion in space is important in atomic transmutation. Kovac shorthands that idea to geometry of space-bending.
These modern shape-shifters speak of Russell's feats such as prolate or oblate the oxygen nucleus into nitrogen or hydrogen or vice versa. To change nuclei, they change the shape of a magnetic field. Although they used expensive analyzing equipment, it is basically tabletop science. No atom-smashing cyclotron needed; just a gentle nudge using the right frequencies. Focus and un-focus light-motion, create a vortex and control it.
Cold fusion researchers are also running across strange elements popping up in their own electrified brews. No one is proposing to make gold and upset world currencies, but some experimenters aim to clean up radioactive waste by their novel processes.


7. ORGONE ACCUMULATOR As Wilhelm Reich, M.D., (1897-1957) moved from Europe to Scandinavia to America, he left a trail of angry experts in every field he explored, from psychiatry to politics to sexology, biology, microscopy and cancer research. His work all led toward one unifying discovery, a mass-free pulsating life-force energy he named orgone, because he discovered it in living organisms before finding that it also permeates earth's atmosphere.
Reich's life ended in prison after prolonged conflict with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. His books and papers were burned by federal officials because the FDA had gathered a case against use of his orgone accumulator for therapy. The accumulator is a box made of layered organic and inorganic materials; experiments with it show anomalous results. An unusual temperature rise inside the accumulator indicates limitations of the second law of thermodynamics. Whether or not concentrated orgone can help with health problems, the accumulator does defy standard science.


8. The CLOUD BUSTER' In 1952 Wilhelm Reich invented a method of rainmaking that doesn't involve cloud seeding with chemicals. Cloud busting, otherwise known as etheric weather engineering, invokes principles that are hard for the conventionally trained mind to accept. The technology is low-tech; point some hollow metal pipes at the sky and connect their lower ends into running water. But unless you know both meteorology and orgonamy, please don't try this at home, on our planet.
Among the properties of the primordial energy, orgone, Reich observed, are its absorption into water, its role in controlling weather and its dangerous state when excited by radioactivity. The planet doesn't need any more mad-scientist experimenters manipulating natural systems, but it may need a more advanced understanding of what nuclear power plant emissions do to the atmosphere. (Reich's followers warn that the planet's life-force is disturbed by the excess radioactivity.)


9. THE RIFE MICROSCOPE & FREQUENCY GENERATOR In the late 1920s Royal Raymond Rife of San Diego invented a high-magnification, high-resolution light microscope. This meant that he could see unstained living cells, unlike the dead specimens seen under an electron microscope. Basically, he developed an electromagnetic frequency generator which he could tune to the natural frequency of the micro-organism under study. Further, he learned that certain electromagnetic frequencies could kill specific bacterial forms.
New discoveries in biophysics not only shed light on the illumination process of Rife's microscope, they also explain how he could selectively explode viruses. His concept of shape changing bacteria indicates that traditional germ-theory dogma is incomplete. Despite documented cures, his non-drug, painless electrical treatment of diseases was not welcomed by a powerful medical union.


10. ELECTRONIC TELEPATHY DEVICE When Patrick Flanagan was a teenager in the early 1960s, Life magazine listed him as one of the top scientists in the world. Among his inventions was the Neurophone, an electronic instrument that can program suggestions into a person directly through skin contact. He made the first Neurophone at age fourteen, out of kitchen junk, his electrodes were scouring pads made of fine copper wire and insulated with plastic bags. He then wired the electrodes to a special transformer attached to a hi-fi amplifier. Holding the pads on his temples, he could hear, inside his head, music from the amplifier. Later models automatically adjusted the signal to resonate with the human subject's skin as part of a complex circuit. Patent officials said it was impossible for a sound to be heard clearly without vibrating bones or going through a crucial nerve of the ear, and refused for 12 years to patent it. The file was re-opened when a nerve-deaf employee at the patent office did hear with a Neurophone.
At one time Flanagan researched man/dolphin language, on contracts with the U.S. Navy. This led to a 3-D holographic sound system that could place sounds in any location in space. He then perfected a Neurophone model which could be used for subliminal learning that would go into the brain's long-term memory banks. But after he sent in a patent application on a digital Neurophone, the Defense Intelligence Agency slapped on a Secrecy Order and he was unable to work on the device or talk to anyone about it for five years. This was discouraging, since the first patent took twelve years to get.
Having helped certain deaf people to hear, Flanagan's next miracle could be to help the blind to see. All we have to do is stimulate the skin with the right signals.
With public acceptance of inventions such as space-energy converters and super-learning devices, perhaps today's innovators will pull the establishment, kicking and scoffing, into a new world view before the 21st century. However, figure that there will always be experts to say Forget it: such things are impossible.

More space-energy converters will be pictured in a book by Jeane Manning, forthcoming from Avery Publishing Group this winter.
