Free Energy?
In this series of articles, we will attempt to examine several “Free Energy” devices, and explain their workings in a very simplified way; while discussing the proposed theories behind them. Also, we will take a look at the new inventors and researchers working within the Open Source Energy movement; and how Internet collaboration has changed the face of invention… With selected interviews with some of the most important players in the movement today.
The
proposition here being that there are many new devices being developed
using clean, cheap, and limitless forms of energy to power them: And
that these devices may have the capability to change all our lives for
the better. They are a new breed of electro-magnetic and magnetic
motors and other devices that run on very little current, but which can
provide both mechanical work and electrical output in excess to the
energy that is put into them. Many of these fascinating inventions have
been around for over 20 years now; and there are literally hundreds of
patents on devices having such claims. A few, in 2008, are finally
coming into the initial marketing, operational, and manufacturing
stages. These highly varied inventions have three characteristics in
common: They are all outside of the scientific mainstream, are rarely
reported on by the media, and are lighting-rods for controversy and
skepticism.
A
word about “Free Energy”, a “buzz word” which will come up often: This
is a highly controversial term, even amongst those who believe it is
possible to extract large and useful amounts of energy by
unconventional means. The word “Free” could imply there is no cost and
is somehow “magical”. That is not correct, perhaps “cheap” is a better
term; and the well-documented science behind many of them certainly is
not “magic”. These devices will of course cost money, and there will be
significant limitations to their efficiency and effectiveness;
especially until they are developed further. “Free” also pertains to
the fact that they are all “pollution free”, using no external chemical
fuels and often requiring much less electricity to operate than they
output (or least being much more efficient than “traditional” means).
But perhaps the most accurate use of the word “Free” would relate to
the change in society that these inventions would bring: Freedom from
the electrical grid and filling stations… Freedom from an economy built
on “scarcity”…. And freedom from the need to pollute our planet to
maintain a high level of civilization.
These
devices and principles may sound wildly optimistic, perhaps even too
good to be true… And possibly they are. But please note, it is not the
science behind them that is holding most of them back: It is the
paradigm of the society in which we live that is stopping them from
eventually becoming every-day home appliances, industrial processes,
and utterly clean power sources.
