CHALLENGING THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

Anthony Craddock writes: New DVD in "Energy from the Vacuum"TM Series
The reflexive response from mainstream science about the possibility of
producing free energy from the vacuum is that it is not possible as this would
violate the second law of thermodynamics.
Over the last 20 years the
absolute status of the second law has come under increased scrutiny, more than
during any other period in its 180-year history. Since the early 1980's,
roughly 50 papers representing over 20 challenges have appeared in the refereed
scientific literature. In July 2002, the first conference on its status was
convened at the University of San Diego, attended by 120 researchers from 25
countries. In 2004, the mainstream scientific journal Entropy published
a special edition devoted to second law challenges. And, in July 2004, an echo
of the first conference was held in Prague, Czech Republic.
The breadth and depth of recent challenges are remarkable. They span three
orders of magnitude in temperature, twelve orders of magnitude in size; they
are manifest in condensed matter, plasma, gravitational, chemical, and
biological physics; they cross classical and quantum mechanical boundaries.
Several have strong corroborative experimental support, and laboratory tests
attempting bona fide violation are on the horizon. Considered en masse, the
second law's absolute status can no longer be taken for granted, nor can
challenge to it be casually dismissed.
In this 90 minute DVD, University
of San Diego physics professor Dr. Daniel Sheehan, who co-hosted the two
conferences, gives us a tour of the field as seen through the mainstream eyes of
an honest seeker of the truth. A dynamic, fascinating and entertaining speaker,
he shows that all is not well with the concept of the inviolability of the
second law.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Way off base, without the Laws of Thermodynamics, an FE/OU device has no chance of functioning.
Know and apply the 2nd Law properly, and FE/OU becomes a reality.
An FE/OU device has to be a heat engine where the source and sink is the vacuum itself.
Ordinarily in a conventional heat engine, sources and sinks are separated by space.
In an FE/OU device, sources and sinks are separated in time.

They claim their science can do it. What's off base if it works ?
Or are you addressing the politics ?

(User Info | Send a Message) | Its not politics, but understanding simple rules of physics.
It can't work if does not follow the rules of thermodynamics. Those Laws are simple and absolute.
They state simply: useful work can only be extracted from energy only if the device sits between a source of high temperature and a sink of low temperature.
This is actually simple, but no one has figured out how to do this with the vacuum flux because it is equally dense in every direction. The exceptions to this is inside a classic Casimir cavity or inside a crystalline structure.
So it is possible to make a FE/OU engine, I just dispute their conclusions as to what is purportedly happenning insuide their "device".

The laws of physics are never, never, absolute! Everyone of them is constructed from some experimental facts and some imagination as to how the world works. This is not the basis for absolute truth.
But note that F => T is a true statement. That is, it is possible to draw a true conclusion from a false hypothesis and this makes scientific theory useful in that a false theory can suggest an experimental result which turns out to be true. Scientific theory is useful but its truth is always questionable for no one has the resources, time and inspiration to test a theory under all possible circumstances, some of which circumstances may not be currently conceivable.
The conference you are commenting on presented a number of papers against the second law, some of which claimed to present experimental contradiction to that law. If those experiments are correct the second law is dead in its current form and perhaps completely so. NO theoretical construct can reverse this principle. It is really the only principle of science.
If you wish to deal in claims of absolute truth you should switch to religion.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The very act of observation increases the entropy of any observed system. That's absolute. You cannot observe anything without increasing the entropy of the Universe.
The Second Law is absolute by its very definition.
It doesn't mean however, that FE/OU is impossible. It only means that an FE/OU device works like any other entropy increasing heat engine. We're just not smart enough to build one.
You don't have to throw out the Laws of Physics to engineer FE/OU in this Universe. |

Tom Bearden: The Early Years: Moray, Sweet and Anti-Gravity (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | "Energy from the Vacuum" Series Part 9: Tom Bearden: The Early Years: Moray, Sweet and Anti-Gravity. (90 minutes)
This is the classic “fireside chat” with Tom Bearden that you always wanted
to have.
Not only that, it is a de facto energy briefing for the incoming Obama
administration involving the real new energy, and not the same old tired
solutions that are currently being trotted out.
There is no energy source “greener”
than tapping into the inexhaustible pollution-free energy from the vacuum
tm.
Wide ranging in scope as always, Tom proceeds by reviewing his early
attempts to resurrect the Moray devices with Henry Moray's son John,
before moving on to share details of his long association with the
legendary Floyd Sweet.
The discussion then turns to the celebrated anti-gravity experiments,
about which Tom spares no details. And of course the use of negative
energy—sadly missing from our
textbooks—is an ongoing theme throughout the piece.
Of particular interest is Tom's discussion about how Floyd Sweet
conditioned his magnets.
This DVD is a must for anyone who wants to familiarize themselves with
this emerging “field that is not yet a field” as Tom Bearden so aptly
describes it.
And you will once again appreciate Tom's special gift for communication,
as he makes you feel like a participant in this intimate dialogue.
Note: three short segments have appeared in previous DVDs, but they are
repeated here as they are in their original context and unedited. Source: http://www.energyfromthevacuum.com/Disc9/index.html [www.energyfromthevacuum.com] Also see: Energy from the Vacuum - Multi-part Series
