Dear Tom, It seems obvious to me that the old team should be reassembled for a while, and that you should build the device during this period. Easy to say of course. The construction of destructive devices of the kind you mention should be made illegal under the Geneva Convention, as for chemical warfare. Any country that breaks the Convention is subject to U.N. sanctions as usual. Far better to concentrate on energy - and I suggest that the 1200 device should be worked on intensively, to remove the relatively simple cladding problem. Palladium seems to be a choice reasoned on the fact that it is a heavy metal. If so try other heavy metals. All this is easy to say and obvious, but worth saying. Perhaps palladioum is chosen for other reasons, such as conductivity, adsorption, catalytic etc. Obviously, all physical factors can be evaluated systematically. It is a matter of manpower. If one can construct a COP = 1200 device, one thousand two hundred times greater than the old electrodynamics allows, then the point is surely proven. The obvious way forward is for an enterprising corporation or university or similar to assemble a team consisting of the best people and take it from there. Sorry to hear about your rheumatic condition, another disease of many years that the scientists have failed to cure. Let us at least try out some of the Priore ideas. It will cost very little and the results of a successful effort are obvious. Many thanks indeed for keeping me on this fascinating discussion. I am webbing everything. Therefore the unreasonable censorship of your ideas can be circumvented. Season's Greetings!

The old arthritic bones squeal everytime I have to take such an arduous auto trip, but this one is absolutely necessary. The Westinghouse device was a power frequency converter, and used (as I recall) 64 transistors. It changed the input power from one frequency to another used by the electronics past it. Since everything was critically designed, production of excess output energy by the converter had the annoying habit of burning out the electronics past it, which could not take the overload. The nonlinear optical-type ping pong (iterative self-targeting), once it gets going with longitudinal waves, works at any frequency. The necessity for creating the longitudinal EM wave effect is simply the distortion correction theorem (which really ought to be renamed as the electrogravitational theorem), where a normal transverse EM wave precisely superposes spatially with its true phase conjugate replica transverse wave, of equal magnitude. If you will look at the impulse fields of the superposed waves, so that you must account for the positive time carried by the photons in the wave and the negative time carried by the antiphotons in the antiwave, rather than just the force fields in such a superposed conjugate pair, you will see what I mean: the energies of the two waves add, but the impulses are antiparallel and equal (they cancel in the time axis, not in 3-space) and so vectorially sum to a vector zero as far as EM translation is concerned. That pair of waves, since it represents a sort of "standing wave" of the rearrangement of the local energy density of the vacuum, is rigorously a gravitational standing wave! It is indeed odd that this does not seem to have been recognized, or at least I have not seen it in any paper. If you alter the local energy density of the vacuum, obviously you have a gravitational effect, since in modern GR it is energy that is regarded as the thing that produces the gravity, not the mass per se. Not germane to our discussion on energy production, but pointed out previously, is that if you wish to do gravity and antigravity effects, you need to concentrate on the low frequency end of the spectrum. Particularly upon ELF. In the transistor array it seems that the exact geometrical positioning of the semiconductors may also be important, although some "spatial energy repositioning and cohering" effect can usually be had regardless, between any two participating transistors engaging in mutual ping pong (mutual self- targeting). Note the close analogy to anti-Stokes emission phenomena, and to Lawandy's TiO2 particles in his lasing without population inversion, and to the rather rigid placement of Patterson's microsphere capacitors. Patterson's high results (COP=1200) were achieved using palladium cladding over the plastic microspheres, in aqueous solution. Well, the palladium adsorbs hydrogen ions from the surrounding fluid, so becomes charged. That means that those little charged capacitor microspheres are now dipoles and hence broken symmetries in the vacuum flux. So they extract virtual energy from the vacuum and output Poynting energy flow. However, note that a nominal 10exp(-13) reaction cross section exists for each intercepting and collecting charge in the geometrical path of that Poynting flow. So the single-pass energy collection is still very minuscule, from the "free" Poynting flow now being produced by the microspheres. Even so, if you will check it mathematically (I've done so for a simple case), a divergently increasing series results when retroreflection and multipass, multicollection appears. That means that, in the absence of any disturbing factors at all, such a array if perfect could increase its energy density without limitation. The equations show that, given any finite input at all continuously, the array (if perfect) is assymmetrically self- regauging without bound. It will require some time for the self-regauging energy density increase to grow to substantial means. In Patterson's case, often 13 hours growth time for the exponential was required. Now in real life, however, the participating microspheres are still imperfect, the positioning is somewhat imperfect so that there are irregularities in the geometry, etc. Further, scattering and heat result, and this heat (i.e., essentially infrared) is retroreflected only so many times on the average (statistically speaking) before reaching the outer boundary of the microsphere array and escaping from the unit as emitted heat. The imperfections also increase the losses and "disruption" of the otherwise smoothly exponential increase in asymmetrical self-regauging. The result in real life is that a counterbalanced threshold is reached after some time, at which the imperfections in their "spoiling" performance now balance the perfections in their performance. So the COP levels off at that point -- in Patterson's case, at COP=1200 for his lab prototype that was independently tested by more than one testing agency. That means that the heat energy rate now escaping from the boundary of the Patterson cell is about 1200 times the energy rate being input to the unit (by conventional calculations). More rigorously and correctly (which the conventional theory is NOT), the energy losses required to continue the process's operation are only 1/1200 th as much as the energy output of the device. True energy input, of course, is never calculated in the normal theory and by conventional physics, which has continued to accept Lorentz' blase discard of the enormous nondiverged (by a single pass by the interceptor/collector) Poynting energy flow. Heaviside pointed out that our normal circuits only collect a wee tad of the flow, but he was just ignored -- even though we use Heaviside's energy flow theory and name it for Poynting. Poynting got the flow direction wrong by 90 degrees, discarded everything but the divergent component without even realizing it, etc. But he published prestigiously, while Heaviside published in the Electrical Experimenter and such. Nonetheless, Poynting himself always credited Heaviside as being first with energy flow theory -- which of course did not even appear in any of Maxwell's work, and was previously unknown in physics at all prior to Heaviside and Poynting. Patterson's problem was in keeping the palladium cladding on his microspheres. Due to the heating etc., the cladding warped and twisted and came off, spoiling the effect. (When the unit was functioning and "full up" at COP=1200, the input power could be completely cut off and the unit's heat production from the asymmetrical self regauging process would gradually decay away over several hours, often 12-14 hours.). That alone should have sent a violent explosion into the highest channels of the physics community, the Department of Energy, the DoD, etc. It did not make a ripple. That shows you just how distorted the view of energy flow, energy flow interception and divergence (i.e., collection), etc. are in physics. It also shows you how little real understanding of energy processes physics has. It just continues to blithely assume that energy comes in fixed chunks, which it does not (Kluk did a beautiful paper running down the meaning of "energy" to a contradictory notion of motion considered statically). Instead, the steady divergence of an energy flow upon an interceptor/collector (i.e., the so-called "absorbance") is what will appear in so many joules. But that is like a whirlpool in a river; the whirlpool form has so much energy in it instantaneously, and in the perfect case this appears absolutely static. Nonetheless, the underlying process is a flow and continuous, and is continually diverged to continually provide that apparent "static collection" of water. At any rate, in the Westinghouse-type transistor array the ping pong (iterative self-targeting) process becomes essentially analogous to the superregenerative type effect, and also a little bit of the quantum potential effect (due to infinite velocity, the apparent superposition of the energy in one transistor -- through a multiply connected spacetime -- into the second participating ping pong partner transistor). Note that the slightest emergence of the QP effect is likely to blow up instantly all those transistors that have initiated a QP connection through multiply connected spacetime (MCST). MCST is especially interesting, as I pointed out in one paper, because if you put one gigawatt in to one point, a gigawatt simultaneously appears at every other participating point. If 1,000 other points are participating, you can see what an enormous direct amplification of energy one gets. This is an extended QP mechanism from the one Bohm actually advanced, because Bohm seemingly limited his consideration to two particles (participants) primarily, or at least I have not run across other consideration. However, I am sure he must have recognized the implications, because he certainly was aware that a MCST was involved. I regard the QP using a MCST as something resembling the "destroyer of worlds" and probably the generatrix of a big bang that blows out a section of local 4-space Minkowski ST, into n-dimensions, to create and stabilize another universe "created by that big bang in its past." But in normal circuit arrays one does not likely meet a QP effect, except where the participation is a very small decimal. Nonetheless, the QP effect is far more powerful, and could actually be developed as such, than any other weaponry every conceived of by the mind of man. Certainly we have evidence that three countries have developed at least crude weaponry using the QP to an extent. The devilish thing to us here in CTEC was that we understood the ping pong effect, but simply did not have the resources to wrestle it down to the mat. During 1992 and 1993, e.g., some 6,000 engineers were laid off here in Huntsville, yours truly being one of them. If you were over 40, finding a new job was well-nigh impossible. If over 50, just forget it. Five of my fellows -- all the technical ones -- lost their jobs. All were in their 40s or older. Suddenly our plans to continue to contribute out of our pockets to building up better CTEC instrumentation, etc. came to a screeching halt. Everyone (myself included) was scrambling about madly, trying to find some way to make a living. Anyway, we have not recovered. I managed to convert to retirement, by some real juggling, so long as I live frugally. Ken retired also, in the same type situation. One lost his home, went into bankruptcy etc., and has only fairly recently obtained re-employment. The others involved had to relocate out of Huntsville, in order to find jobs and support their families. What particularly suffered was our lab team; it no longer exists as such because the members were scattered. We now have one person (Ken) able to work part time in the lab, and that is it. Steve (knowledgeable in lasers and phase lock control, etc.) is in Florida and we see him here only occasionally. Mark is in Florida. So we now merely crawl forward at a highly crippled pace. We also are woefully short of some of the more sophisticated instruments we need -- e.g., we only have a "jury rigged" gauss meter for the ranges we need in our magnetic experiments. We have a good multichannel oscilloscope, and can capture data and apply good computerized data analysis to it. But we do not have the excess add-ons necessary to allow measurements using floating grounds, etc. We have good voltmeters and ammeters of various kinds, of course. We also have two laboratory grade capacitors, which are something like 99.5% efficient. We did some of our step-charging capacitor experiments with those, showing that one can in fact charge a capacitor without loss. When I can locate that multiloop servo paper I referred to, I will give you the citation so you can obtain it. Basically, however, if one can synchronize the ping pong feedforward and feedback between pairs of transistors so that one gets multiple retroreflection of the Poynting energy flow in phase conjugate standing wave manner, one reflects the huge otherwise nondivergent Poynting component that was not intercepted and diverged on its first pass. You now have a rather substantial standing wave of that Poynting energy flow, including its 10exp13 otherwise nondivergent component. On each pass back in the ping pong, some more energy is intercepted and diverged (collected) by the charges in the absorbing transistors (and even in the wire connecting them). As you can see, in theory a little more energy can be intercepted and diverged and collected on every pass. This means that, at the individual collector, and a little bit in the surface charges of the wires themselves, the energy density is increasing (so long as the process continues without disruption). As the energy density of the local collector increases, that a priori increases its scalar potential, which is after all a dipolarity (a potential can only be specified with respect to some other reference potential) with respect to the ambient vacuum potential. This dipolarity in turn increases its own extraction of energy from the vacuum (because of its increased broken symmetry in the vacuum flux itself). Accordingly, it outputs increased Poynting energy flow, which in the ping ponging produces an increase in some exponential form of the standing wave (so to speak) Poynting energy flow that is being intercepted and a fraction (e.g., 10 In theory such a process can reach infinite energy density very quickly. However, in the real world the absorbed energy prior to retroreflection also produces momentum change in the absorber, therefore a translational force. If held in place, say by its rigid mounting, the counterforce due to Newton's third law is produced in the absorber also. The combination is the creation of increasing stress. If the asymmetrical self-regauging (buildup of the local energy density and therefore the self-potential) is sufficiently rapid, the consequent rapidity of the stress buildup due to the counterforce's adding in, will simply burst the transistor in a violent explosion (usually in a fireball about a foot in diameter). Makes quite a bang! Nonetheless, this mechanism, as you can see, is certainly capable of being controlled by modern technology application. The basic production of the asymmetrical self-regauging in such an array of transistors (which after all are mimicking anti-Stokes emission) can be controlled by (1) limiting the rate of buildup, (2) automatically governing the rise time and level of energy density permitted, such as by using audio injection to vibrate the transistors and perturb the geometry, and (3) by perhaps a dozen other means presently available to technology. This process is indeed an analogy of sorts to the superregenerative receiver. It can also power the world, and I deeply regret my inability and lack of funds to produce a working, controlled unit. Nonetheless, at least the understanding we achieved must not be allowed to vanish with our own death. So we are releasing in general the process we were following, and our understanding of it. I will get you more later on the Westinghouse process and the patents filed around it. Those patents of course have now expired. Hope you had a nice holidays, and I will contact you when I get back off the road. I'm going to inspect another rather revolutionary overunity generator, this one using closer to what goes on inside the dense matter of shrunken stars. It is also nice that two prototypes have been independently tested and certified. I cannot give any details because I am under a nondisclosure agreement as to any details at all. Suffice it to say that it is highly attractive to me, because it is a perfect example of asymmetrical self- regauging. Cheers, Tom
