    I read that pdf Ben, i think that’s just fantasy science. The explaination of sailing boat being more than unity at the start is disingenous, its literature for pacing the wide eyed seeker. This “Zero point energy” source is simply alluded to, with outward references which no one is going to grok.
    The circuits shown are pedestrian, thousands and thousands of amature inventors have tried passing pulses of current at different strengths and frequencies and harmonics through all sorts of electrodes and mediums. Daves circuit doesnt even bother to estimate the inductance of the garage wound inductor it hopefully employs. Its fantasy slap dash experimentation, compare it to even the precision and theory required just to create a fairly efficient generator for specified torque, speed and current. There are people working, experimenting, analysing, refining electronics trying to do specific things, these are thrown together circuits with little to no analysis doing things too good to be true. Thats electro-fiction. Dreaming of Organon in sweet but ultimately humbling.

    Crab; It’s the over-arching metaphysics i was referring to. It is speculated that Newton spent a lot of time trying to change lead into gold. That he thought it was possible, this true man of science, but failed in the final experiment, does not mean it is a dream, with no basis in science we have not yet overturned. The idea that perpetual motion is a flyby, while protons and electrons orbit within that rock you threw over the White Cliffs of Dover, just means we haven’t tapped the source, yet.

    Besides, if you achieved those results in 2004, would you not be heating and powering your own house with them, and selling heat and power to some neighbours at least? Would you not be mass assembling and flogging your kits on ebay? Would national security not have whisked you away to find out how to power aircraft carriers without need of gas turbines or mil reactor? Would you not be the zeropoint energy bill gates? Why not? Oh its going to happen – i see…. NEXT!

  • crab

    Newton was crazy inventive, mercury poisoned, couldn’t get out of bed some days transfixed by the flow of ideas rushing through his head. But he had no idea of the kind of theory and knowledge which would be worked out in the 20th century. There is a big difference between sensing philosophical possibility of eg, a mobile phone, and creating one before radio waves were discovered.

    Here we are enticed by far feild theory and possibilities and exotic carcinogens and things. Why not try throwing a 1 meter wind turbine together from RC parts costing 50 quid that will supply +100 quid a year in hot water for as long as it stays up.

    You might not believe this or not ,I don`t care.I did get a visit from a couple in black suits and they took away all my docs.You know Stan Mayer was
    poisoned .But I will not discuss it here.By the way I am not into conspiracy theories.Did you know the late Harold Aspden ? you should look at his patents .He did get a US patent on Cold fusion.one of the first to get one.

    ‘There is a big difference between sensing philosophical possibility of eg, a mobile phone, and creating one before radio waves were discovered.’

    Yes, but thinking ahead of the next curve should be a priority for science. I understand it seems impractical to chase such things, seemingly before their time, but the possibilities need to be explored. Is the space program practical?
    Well, they try to piggy-back some zero-gravity experiments, ostensibly to make the earth-bound feel they are getting some concrete payback. But, it’s really about exploring and discovery, isn’t it Crab?

    Im more haunted by the possibility that Shams is a real 8 year old boy from Iraq who didnt even get a message back.

    Here’s to you Shams, it was a fine message i will remember it.

  • crab

    If it is about that then good Ben, but if it is about self representation and bigger stuff then its more of the same hollow solitication.

    I think the real far out feild of science at the moment is quantum dynamics and computation. Anything is possible, given luck and aptitude and proper work. There is a lot of experimentation, calibration, invention going on without comprehensive theory too, which is more immediately practical than theory refinement and exploration. But loose talk about theory with very little to show for it is cheap as talk gets.

    @Ben The idea that perpetual motion is a flyby, while protons and electrons orbit within that rock you threw over the White Cliffs of Dover, just means we haven’t tapped the source, yet.
    Oliver Heavisde in his book electromagnetic theory.”You must look to the Aether for source of all energy” “Zero point energy of space .The shortest wavelength contributing to this field turns out to be about 10 to minus 33 cm.”
    The amount of energy that would be in one cubic centimetre of space turns out to be very far beyond the total energy of all matter in the known universe.”
    David Bohm. Tap into this and here is your source of polution free energy.
    Tickle the zero point field and nature will liberate some energy to do some work.They talk about the Casamir effect but Oliver Heaviside described it in
    in the 1890`s. Heaviside was a genius who lived in Devon,painted his fingernails pink slept on granite slabs and lived on baked beans.

    Dave; I am not a scientist or engineer, but many here are strict rationalists who must see the pudding’s proof.

    If you aren’t revealing anything proprietary, could you give us some anecdotal verifiability by way of your own experimentation with your solid-state device? Is it dependent upon ancillary hardware’s proven functionality, or are you waiting for the technology to catch up?

  • Dave Lawton

    @Crab Daves circuit doesnt even bother to estimate the inductance of the garage wound inductor it hopefully employs.
    The circuit you refer to was a bench lashup circuit I knocked up for a quick test years ago nothing special any good electronics engineer would know that.If other people use it and make magical claims thats up to them.You need to go to my PPL circuit .
    Crab if you have any experience of electronics you should noted its a common 555 pwm found in most circuit books,most practitioners of the art would know that.

    When Stan Meyer ran his VW on water it was much more than a water fuel cell.
    it was water sparkplugs,UV lights gas reciculating and much more.It was all down to small increases much like the UK bike team in the olympics it all adds up.

    I did that cell test years ago it was inspired by the work of Kanarev which I have pointed out to Clark if he wants to replicate.We did take the cell in the early days to Wolverhampton university,the engineers were interested and wanted to take it further.but it was blocked by the head of their dept.I found out later he had a different agenda.I have now moved on,and without funds and now working on a LENR ,it takes time being a OAP living on a small pension.and occasional royalties.

    You are confused, I asked about the casually described Inductor not the IC

  • crab

    But please dont mind my hasty crabbiness. Good luck with your research and keep sharing your ingenuity and vision Mr Lawton.

    (There’s actually alot of things Id like to pick your brains on, just the zero point energy capture id ponder at leisure)

    Crab; You are endearing because you feign dungeness , but are a soft-shell variety.

  • crab

    Hah Ben how did you find that crosswired pun!
    I cant credit Daves tests and visions from my dungeon cell, but I sense he is fascinating and kind and id be very happy to attend a workshop of his, chasing energy while gaining valuable experience and other.

    If borne out then powerful powerplants working by cooling pumped air or water are possible – carbon free and cooling!

    Plenty of stuff to research beside this cancer powered bomb waste nuclear stuff.

  • daniel

    Clark, thanks for some interesting and thought-provoking posts. What’s your take on Monbiot’s stance on nuclear? He seems to be dividing the green movement. For me he makes some compelling arguments. I’m afraid I view the Green Party’s position on this as one that is crudely opportunistic. I remember seeing a Green Party spokeswoman on BBCs Question Time a few months ago and wasn’t at all convinced by her arguments in relation to nuclear.

  • crab

    What has the convincingness of a party spokesperson on Question Time got to do with anything in actuality.

    You want to fund another generation of cancer power because it is looking more respectable as cgi graphics improve, whats going to put you off? Sure its just a little bit more cancer and danger and heightened security in the world, blending into the background levels – might mean cheaper leccy! sold :p

    Another LOL Wrong fuel used in bullet proof, bomb proof, but not idiot proof presidential limo which probably weighs a few tons.

    Shalomnishambles: Barack Obama’s limo breaks down on Israel trip after petrol mix-up
    The most powerful man in the world faced the embarrassment of having to switch vehicles after somebody filled it up with petrol instead of diesel

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/barack-obamas-limo-breaks-down-1775573

    Oh, it is sealed against biochemical attack too and the vehicle fuel efficiency is about 8 miles per US gallon (29 L/100 km; 9.6 mpg). How obscene. Just to cart the American warmongers around.

    Mr Obama made his first trip to Israel as president on Wednesday, holding talks with PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

    The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a TWO-STATE solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

    Speaking in Jerusalem, Mr Obama said a central element of securing a lasting peace in the Middle East “must be a strong and secure Jewish [apartheid] state where its security concerns are met, alongside a sovereign and independent Palestinian state”
    .

    TWO-STATE SOLUTION?:

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new economics and trade minister, Naftali Bennett, is a former chief of the Yesha COUNCIL OF SETTLERS, and the electoral base of his Habayit Hayehudi party is in the WEST BANK SETTLEMENTS. New Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel is also from Habayit Hayehudi and has spent his public career ADVANCING THE SETTLEMENTS.

    Overunity LED`s .I am not surprised.You just need to look at
    non-linear stochastic resonance ,or PZ material operating in a non-linear mode ie Mullard Labs 1970 all exhibiting over-unity.Its the same with water fuel cells ,operate them in the non-liner mode,negative
    resistance state you will get a avalanche effect and more gas out than you know what to do with.You just need the electronics to keep the operating point in the valley when it goes into the negitive resistance region as it is very unstable because you get plasmoids being created.
    This is not new discovery they call it plasma electrolysis its been rediscovered.I keep pointing it out but it falls on deaf ears,it was a British invention in the 1970`s for electrolytic cleaning of metals ,the joke is they had created cold fusion and did not know it.

    A rich tosser bought a wife with taxpayers’ money but doesn’t have the decency to send me a copy of his book for review.

    “The idea that perpetual motion is a flyby, while protons and electrons orbit within that rock you threw over the White Cliffs of Dover, just means we haven’t tapped the source, yet.”

    Energy is all around us all the time, it’s just a matter of harnessing it. I like the osmotic turbines myself, think they have potential in the right places. There is a lot of energy in an empty beer can, aluminium is one of the most reactive substances known to man, can pull the oxygen atom out of water and leave hydrogen. There are loads of great possibilities, cars that run on empty beer cans, a bright new future.

    There are a lot of bridge salesmen as well.

  • Abe Rene

    @Nevermind: Hi Abe Rene, the alternative is you

    Hi Nevermind, thanks for the flattering comment, though I suspect that you really intended to encourage Independent MPs generally.

    To be honest, I doubt whether I would be better than anyone else in a position of power. The line between good and evil runs through every human heart, as Solzhenitsyn may have said.

    Nor am I inclined towards seeking office and canvassing support for it. People who try things like that need to know what they are doing. Look at what happened to Craig and his campaign in Norwich.

    So I’ll look at the manifestos and go for one. Who knows, if Milliband renounces the Iraq war and recovers some of his socialist principles (eg concrete schemes for affordable housing), I might even consider him!

  • John Goss

    Chernobyl (1986) got the blame for high levels of radiation in sheep. I remember this at the time it happened. What I noticed was that all the areas where high radiation was found in sheep were in the vicinity of UK nuclear power stations, Cumbria, Wales, Scotland. So what it looks like again is that taxpayers’ money has been used to force farmers to test sheep for levels of radiation for which Chernobyl is seen to be culpable when this almost certainly is not be the case. However this is not scientific but high probability speculation. The testing has only recently stopped. It would be interesting to know if radiation levels have changed. No mention is made of that.

  • nevermind

    Hi Abe, right you are. I have just communicated with my electoral department and found out that as an Independent I’m not allowed to have an electoral register before I’m declared a candidate.

    Now this will make canvassing for signatures and filling out of the nomination forms awkward.
    Political parties on the other hand are entitled to regular updates from their local councils.

    This is new to me, I stood as an Independent before and have never encountered such rule, nor obstinacy towards Independent candidates. Local councils once would try their best to encourage Independents and other lesser known Individuals. When did this rule become important as a tool to discourage? I wonder.

  • Clark

    John Goss, 11:23 am, I’m currently reading Chris Busby’s Wings of Death, which includes Busby’s research into radioactive contamination in Wales. The data he presents supports contamination in Wales from Chernobyl fall-out, as well as other contamination from the local nuclear industry.
