In the opinion of many scientists, the world has just 10 years to reverse surging greenhouse gas emissions, by an almost inconceivable reduction in the use of fossil fuels, or risk runaway climate change that could make many parts of the planet uninhabitable.

Results could include the deaths of millions of people from equatorial regions, and the loss of vast tracts of land under rising seas as the ice caps melt.

There are very few steps that can be taken rapidly enough to realistically drop the need for fossil fuels sufficiently in 10 years.

While all can help, none of the conventional renewable power systems, solar, wind, fuel-cells, etc., can come remotely close to meeting this challenge.

Nuclear power plants take 10 years to begin operation. The idea they can contribute to a solution is a dangerous illusion.

Only radically new energy conversion systems can do the job. By far the most promising technology is rapid development of breakthrough Magnetic Power Modules™ which provide: “A new way to generate electricity.”

Constructed using solid-state electronic components, they are expected to produce power indefinitely, without any need for fuel or recharge. This is accomplished by utilizing an abundant, renewable, little known, previously unutilized source of energy that is found everywhere in the universe.

Until now, this energy has never been employed in practical products. It was probably first tapped by Wesley Gary, a Pennsylvania inventor, in 1874. An article in Harper’s Magazine, described his patented mechanical magnetic devices. His unsung work apparently impressed Harvard and MIT professors. Published in 1879, the article can be found on the internet.

A German inventor, Hans Coler, demonstrated a generator without moving parts, apparently converting the same source of energy, in 1926. Eleven years later, he demonstrated a more powerful, 6,000 Watt, prototype. Supported by the German Admiralty, his laboratory was bombed by the Allies late in World War II. In 1946, British Intelligence published a classified Report suggesting his achievement was genuine. A 34 page portion of that Report was declassified in 1979 and can be found on the web.

This remarkable, almost ignored, source of energy may prove to be what is sometimes called the Quantum Vacuum, also known as Zero Point Energy, or ZPE. Physicist Richard Feynman, a winner of the Nobel Prize, and John Wheeler, a protégé of Einstein’s, calculated that were it all released, there is sufficient ZPE in the volume of a coffee cup to evaporate Earth’s oceans. Physicist Harold Puthoff is quoted as saying, that if we employed ZPE to power the entire planet, it would be like “dipping a thimble into the sea.”

The March 1st, 2004 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology featured an article stating: Zero Point Energy emerges from the realm of science fiction. ”If the expectations of cutting-edge scientists are any guide, a ZPE power source with aerospace applications could be in sight."

MPI’s current development work opens a door to a multitude of practical products. They will operate with no need for fuel, or any plug connection to the power grid. Portable appliances, for example laptops and cell phones, can entirely dispense with batteries, as will electric automobiles.

Modules can be linked together, in order to produce larger amounts of power, in a manner analogous to solar cells. Preliminary data suggests a 1 kW (1,000) watt generator might be about 5” x 5” x 16” in size. These one kilowatt Modules can be connected to create generators for homes.

Distributed Generation of utility grade power, located at the point of use instead of requiring transmission lines, can also be rapidly implemented.

Electric cars, such as the GM VOLT, can dispense with the need for batteries, engines of any kind, fuel cells, or the need to plug-in.

All new vehicles can be redesigned to run on this revolutionary source of energy. The change could provide a huge boost to the automobile industry – creating an abundance of well paid jobs and restoring health to communities.

During the Second World War, industry shifted to building armaments around the clock much more rapidly then might have been imagined. Averting planetary cataclysms due to climate change calls for a similar, all out, effort.
