Prize should be of the order of a perpetually
in place till retired by awardment and the intent of the prize realized.

When are you going to accept that there ARE other people out there who choose truth rather than peace of mind or money? What is so strange that these people realized they are nothing on their own but become very powerful united ? 205 and consequently started organizing themselves to speak with a powerful voice and gather resources to be able to do something about liberating the truth!

Why vested interests are so powerful? 205 because they are organized and have huge resources to allow them to act! How do you distinguish the good from the bad guys? Most of the time just using common sense. Sometimes is harder, and one have to do his/her homework but in the end, eventually, go with the "gut feeling". Being alone and paralyzed by fear and 205greed (yes, let's face it people) is exactly why "free energy movement" has not have a single real world breakthrough so far!
I get lots of comments about who are these SEAS people?.. are they for real?205 are they not one of those patent grabbers to legally suppress a valid invention?205leave us alone, we don't need any help!205or205 are you advocating free energy?205etc.
No, we are not advocating "free energy"205what we are advocating is "free energy" RESEARCH. We want to be "true to logic" which means we follow the logic where it takes us, even if it takes us to "forbidden" areas which frightens many because they challenge our current world views. Being true to logic is a prerequisite to being true to data. And, as somebody very well said: "205being true to data is the heart and soul of science".

We and SEAS want to get irrefutable data first, as science requires it. Dr. Greer, SEAS president and CEO, has successfully tackled "forbidden areas" before, such as the UFO cover-up (see www.disclosureproject.org). I don't have time to elaborate but please, do your homework205see also who's on their Board of Technical Advisors. They are almost convinced that we humans managed to crack the secret of ZPE here on earth. They want to prove it to the science and they've also gathered power (resources, connections, etc.) to help bring the technology to the world.

Who thinks this is easy205good luck! But who is decent enough to accept the $1 million (plus all the other millions from royalties on the commercial product) and join forces with an organization which has a real chance to bring this technology to this world in desperate need of it, will also have his/her name at the top of the Hall of Famers of the human race, by being the first to succeed. Of course, greed and fear is powerful too and it seems to be winning so far.

In the end, let me tell you something. People will succeed to scientifically prove there is plenty of intelligent life in this Universe and we've already been contacted. Greer is leading the way with the Disclosure Project conference and Congressional hearings for the numerous impeccable witnesses who agreed to join him and speak the truth. Conservation of the living info-energy system (survival of consciousness theory) had its first successful scientific test (this is no joke, please read Gary Schwartz's "The Afterlife Experiments", Human Energy Systems Laboratory - University of Arizona, Tucson). Tapping energy from the quantum vacuum is next. It only needs its hero from the many still confused by fear and/or greed. If you are such a potential hero, don't waste your life in futile talk, let the world know who you are and what you intend to do as an insurance policy and take your chance with the people who can help complete your mission.

Again good luck and stay true.

The Z-Prize has really lit a fire under me arse, I would have waited indefinitely for funding...after hundreds of venture capitalists, angels, incubators, grants, tech exchanges and even the SBA I decided to JUST DO IT!

So what was originally estimated at a cost of $100,000 for a CAD/CAM prototype now has a budget of $1000. I love this challenge - build a free energy device in 2 months with $1000!

I hate having to simplify the design and use inferior materials but for a "quick & dirty" proof-of-concept prototype I think I can pull it off.

To give you an example of the level of compromise I had to make; I need a very precise shape in the stator (William Baumgartner ran into the same problem with the "whorly pipes"). The CAD/CAM molding place wanted $5000 to do it, I bought $30 worth of polymer clay and sculpted it by hand in about 5 hours, it has irregularities...

The return manifold is two stainless mixing bowls, the device even has a coffee can and bendy straws in it!
There are still a few trips to the hobby shop and hardware store to make but I'll have it done before the deadline.
Because of the little budget and time constraints this POC prototype will not have its self-running feature (the second implosion - cavitation) but it will still do two things:

Diamagnetically levitate and show that a vortex of a saline/magnetite/quartz ferrofluid suspension will siphon vacuum fluctuations, free electrons etc,...from free space.', '
Look at the shape of a galaxy and that of a electron, there IS a scale invariant self similarity in the parabola, the golden helix...we learned to fly by watching birds, biomimicry is the answer here as well.

I was thinking today about what I'm doing here... There are, let's say, 20 people worldwide working on Schauberger based devices, mine is unique in several ways. I am reminded of a scene in The Matrix (A perfect analogy of The Second Coming BTW) where Trinity says to Neo, "Nobody has ever done this before" to which he replies, "That's why it will work"

That applies to all of us in the ZPE community.

I tell ya what though, that million dollars is mine! Might as well cut me a check now Jonathan.
