Sorry to disagree, but IMHO, our (energy) future is Aetheric...

As I have argued, there is something very wrong with our current physics, which can be resolved by returning to an aether theory. I have also argued that a mechanism for converting ZPE into usable energy can be accomplished practically by enhancing the well known "dielectric absorption", "dielectric relaxation", "soakage", or "battery action" effect found to occur in electrolytic capacitors. This enhanced "dielectric relaxation" effect is referred to as "the electret effect" in the books around John Bedini's technology by Aaron Murakami and Peter Lindemann.

I came to my conclusion by considering Prof. Claus Turtur's theory, who argues that both the "static" electric and magnetic fields can be used as energy sources, because a circulation of energy can be found to exist between the mentioned fields and the "Zero-Point" field.

The main proposal in my free energy article, is that a working principle for obtaining free energy is to be found in the consideration, measurement and study of of the detailed behavior of electrolytic capacitors when charged with high voltage pulses.

What I'm also proposing is that this mechanism has been utilized in at least four independently developed free energy devices:

1. The Cole Hackenberger (Gray) Power Supply;
2. John Bedini's devices;
3. Stan Meyer's "car on water". (Sorry, a bit outdated, but you will find the "electret effect" theory in there);
4. The so-called "Tesla switch".

For all four, reasonable documentation is available which suggests all four have been shown to work in public, although one cannot 100% rule out the possibility that some degree of "hoaxing" has crept into the documentation I have considered. After all, one has no choice but to work on the basis of information / documentation one has at one's disposal., so one can never know for sure without reliable confirmation.

In other words: without reliable experimental confirmation that the "electret effect" is indeed real and capable of delivering the performance these allegedly working "free energy" devices are alleged to have achieved, it's possible that my theory turns out to be "a nice try", although I would consider that to be higly unlikely.

However, contrary to currently popular views in which "spooky action at a distance" is implied to be a "real" physical phenomenon yet would violate pretty much all "Laws of Nature" known to mankind, this theory actually "makes possible the comparison by experiment" and is therefore a valid "scientific theory", which will, IMHO, become the theory of the future, regardless how improbable this may seem to be to a person not "trained in the art". Science, after all, is not a popularity contest.

Either way, my friend, Prof. Claus Turtur, proposed a theory which explains how this technique would work, in the sense that it explains how the (alleged) observed excess energy could be obtained by conversion out of ZPE.

So, if we study the detailed behavior of electrolytic capacitors when charged with HV pulses, we should be able to either confirm or reject this theory.

If we can confirm it, we obtain the ability to design free energy devices based upon this principle, of which a replication of the Cole Hackenberger power supply would be very interesting to have.

In other words: I am not claiming to have experimentally confirmed this "electret effect" to exist. I am proposing that with Turtur's basis, we can formulate a theory which would explain this effect, if it exists. And I am also proposing that the experimental data which is available about the above 4 devices suggests that it is very likely that this "electret effect" is real.

Experimental verification should be used to either confirm or reject the theory.

The big advantage of this theory, unlike "big constructions under water", "black holes", "anti-matter" or "solar panels in space" for example, is that this "electret effect" theory promises to offer practical and feasible solutions to the energy problem in that it offers, once confirmed, the possibility of building free energy energy devices using nothing but readily available electronic components and perhaps some specially built components, like a transformer, none of which requires anything beyond "hobby electronics and mechanical construction" to accomplish.

I will be proposing a practial experimental setup with which we can confirm or reject this "electret effect" to be the solution we have been looking for, which comes down to measuring the behavior of electrolytic capacitors when charged with (relatively high voltage) pulses of varying frequency and strength and measuring energy "IN" and "OUT" and see if we can observe an otherwise unexplainable energy gain.

To me, it is highly likely that this practial technique will be confirmed to be real, because there is pretty good data available already(Chapter 6).

In other words: IMHO, given the simple and thus cheap electromechanical constructions required for utilizing this "electret effect", I think it is fair to say this will be the future and not the currently popular, yet complex and cumbersome, solutions out there in the public domain.
