See my above post... They are called "laws" of physics because time and time again they have been shown to be immutable. If you or anyone else had broken the laws of physics, by all means present your irrefutable evidence and claim your Nobel prize.
But regardless, this is not the topic if my OP. Do you own an over unity device? If not, why not?edit on 14-8-2011 by john_bmth because: (no reason given)
When probing the deepest reaches of the Cosmos or magnifying our understanding of the quantum world, a whole host of mysteries present themselves. This is to be expected when pushing our knowledge of the Universe to the limit.
But what if a well-known -- and apparently constant -- characteristic of matter starts behaving mysteriously?
This is exactly what has been noticed in recent years; the decay rates of radioactive elements are changing. This is especially mysterious as we are talking about elements with "constant" decay rates -- these values aren't supposed to change. School textbooks teach us this from an early age.
My family's Atmos clock runs on air, which turns out to be a better power source than the vacuum. A relatively inefficient electric clock might use about 500mW which costs $0.60 per year to operate. It's not an exact comparison but I could say the Atmos clock saves $0.60 a year. That's really about the best I can hope for right now. There's not enough power in the air to economically run more power hungry devices using the Atmos technology. It doesn't violate any laws of physics but it is kind of cool that it runs on air. And it's never stopped, which I can't say for the electric clock, since I get a couple of power outages a year.

They do violate the laws of physics. But anyhow, that is not the topic of the OP. Do you own an over unity device and how much are you saving a year in utility bills? If not, why not?
Closed system or not, there's not much energy in the vacuum, if dark energy is related to vacuum energy as we suspect might be the case. There's actually a lot more energy in air than the vacuum, and we know how to extract that as I mentioned in my previous post. That's also convenient since we happen to live in air rather than in a vacuum.

Zero point energy is the future though. Its energy from the vacuum so it doesnt violate the law of thermodynamics because it isnt a closed system.
That's not much energy.
We can measure the energy density of the vacuum through astronomical observations that determine the curvature of spacetime. All the measurements that have been done agree that the energy density is VERY CLOSE TO ZERO. In terms of mass density, its absolute value is less than 10-26 kilograms per cubic meter. In terms of energy density, this is about 10-9 joules per cubic meter.

When you're ready, are you intending to open-source your tech?
probably not, the reason is , is i have plans for the technology and don't want the Chinese stealing my concept and flooding the market before i get going, now that's not to say that i wont consider licensing to a few trusted folks that will protect me and my property
I think i better master the art first, Ive been working on various concepts for some time and i know what has to be proven before any other considerations.

If I buy this $4000 Free Energy kit, is there anyone on ATS willing to build it and test it?
Well, why not just keep discussing it in this thread? Since the subject came up anyway
"PS. I personally felt Bedini tech wasn't the way to go and still don't. Crystals, consciousness and vortex tech is now my gut feel on where to put my attention."
Never heard of vortex tech. What can it do? Where do we buy it? Can it power a house?

Over unity is very much about breaking the 2nd law of thermodynamics by having a closed system operating at greater than 100% efficiency. Such a device would be able to power an electrical appliance indefinitely (or in other words, "perpetually") with no external power source. Solar power is not over unity. Steam power is not over unity. I have made this very clear in my OP and subsequent posts throughout this thread.edit on 14-8-2011 by john_bmth because: (no reason given)

You may get bought out, you may get knocked off (either physically dead or the tech stolen), most likely, you'll end up tied up in un-ending mazes of beaurocracy, obfuscation and seemingly coincidental little gremlins that constantly get in the way.
When it comes to a multi-trillion dollar humanity changing tech, that has the potential to crash or seriously undermine the current status quo, I believe the only way through is to go open-source. And even that needs to be done very carefully, almost guerilla-like.

Well I can certainly understand your reasoning, and I do wish you well and all the success.

Again, best to you though.
PS. If you change your mind and come to the realisation that something like this is beyond personal profit and a required contribution to the human race, I'll be more than willing to help out

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only changed from one form to another. Once you use some of the energy in the " action " you diminish the " reaction " and entropy wins out. The closest one can get is for a device that, as a byproduct of it's action, collects a fraction up to and almost, the difference in the used energy. that's it. But in the end, everything will wind down and become motionless. So over unity devices do not work.

What, so demonstrating that a fundamental law of physics wouldn't win them a Novel prize? Selling a device (not components) that they could actually demonstrate to work wouldn't make them millionaires? Are you for real?
As for your project, there's nothing to stop you finding a local electronics engineer to build it for you. If your faith was so strong, it would be a small price to pay. Yet you blame members of a forum for not offering to help when you're more than capable yourself. Put your money where you mouth is.
