Greetings,
Being very interested in ZPE and OU experimentation - also both mildly optimistic and skeptical at the same time (and also aware that some of my prior posts to other forums have turned up here anyway), I decided to post the following. It was tempting to go full-tilt speculative and reply to the "Dirac monopole" post, but I'm not sure that I understand where that is going.
The following are some revised thoughts aimed at the ZPE experimenter searching for small-scale effects in relatively inexpensive experiments – which might, of course, lead to a working OU device. If you want the 'executive summary' first, it is simply this: get hold of ‘undoped’ gallium nitride UV photodiodes or preferably a couple of GaN wafers and let your imagination run wild. Now, for the reasoning behind this suggestion….
Many ZPE experiments attempt to exploit an anecdotal anomaly, but too few have gone to the trouble of working from the top-down in this pursuit, or if so, they don't seem to have shared their thinking over the internet (except for the Casimir type experiments – which are related to the following, in a geometric way). Here are some ideas that attempt to pinpoint *where* specifically, the potential OU energy that issues from ZPE might be found, assuming that there is some out there. That locality could relate to a very specific frequency and energy level in the ultraviolet. By top-down, I mean working backwards from large-scale cosmological factors, and incorporating a subset of ZPE theory (derived from the work of Dirac.)
There are implications coming from the 'new cosmology' which might be involved - the so-called "dark energy" of cosmological expansion - dark-energy and "Dirac's sea" are likely to be different aspects of the same phenomenon. Even though the bulk of the energy content of Dirac's sea is "negative" and therefore ostensibly not available to be recovered directly, there will exist an *interfacial* area between negative energy "holes" and the positive energy of our 3-space, and such a window can perhaps be exploited, as with the Casimir effect, the dimensions of which seems to approximate 360 nm in some experiments.
Gallium nitride is one of the few commercially available semiconductors with a pronounced band gap in the UV region. This band gap is exactly 3.4eV when undoped, corresponding to a wavelength of 360nm, which is in the near ultraviolet region, and is potentially significant in ZPE discussions for the many reasons relating to positronium (Ps)- either virtual or real, and to the electron anti-neutrino. I won’t get into all of the details now, as this posting is getting long enough. But the reasons that ZPE energy is responsible do go well beyond specualtion.
The implication of this specific energy level is that among the many approaches to free energy is one that seems counter intuitive: attempting to “stress” 4-space by radiating positive energy efficiently at the exact resonance of the decay energy of a target virtual particle - to 'prime the pump' so to speak, and then hopefully to recover the excess (or at least document it). When this approach is focused on 3.4 eV radiation which accompanies either positronium decay (half of the 6.8 eV), or more specifically is arguably the electron anti-neutrino rest mass, then it is possible that secondary nuclear events or other wierdness will be stimulated (LENR for instance ?).
Neutrinos are created (freed) along with electrons when the nucleus of an atom disintegrates through beta decay. From studies of the beta decay of tritium, that energy (from the electron anti-neutrino exiting at various velocities) appears to have a rest mass at 3.4 eV. Reference (there are others): "Limit on Electron Antineutrino Mass from Observation of the b decay of Molecular Tritium," R. G. H. Robertson et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 67: 957 (1991).
I haven’t been able to try this experiment with tritium, but when potassium (which is slightly radioactive) is placed between two GaN wafers (undoped), the decay rate appears to increase (this is a tentative and statistical finding that needs to be replicated). At any rate there are several good Edisonian trial and error approachs to using GaN either as emmiter, collector or ‘mirror’ in attempting to tap into this reservoir of mass/energy (the electron anti-neutrino).
Remember: The band gap of GaN is at 3.4 eV but only if undoped. You also get better results when these are cooled. I bought a bunch of useless GaN LEDs that were doped, and even the supplier didn’t realize it, so be aware that many LEDs are doped to get lower frequencies and are not useful for this kind of experimentation. The undoped wafers are available from several suppliers in silicon valley but are all made at:

But I have heard of recent difficulty in obtaining them, so I will try to post an updated source. The remaining issue is the best way to go about 'priming the pump’ which is to say, by stimulating ‘space’ with the resonant energy of Ps decay and/or the electron anti-neutrino. Actually there are many ways that can be envisioned, but if you take a bell jar or vacuum chamber - place a number of gallium nitride photodiodes or wafers in it, powered and unpowered, with radioactive species or without, there are many ways to look for anomalies- even a photographers photometer is helpful. Deuterium and heavy water would be interesting to play around with. One simple way that I hope to pursue this is to pulse a small current at low duty factor, using various frequencies, and then measure the resultant ‘ring’ in a modified tank circuit.
