Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions and New Energy is a summary of selected experimental and theoretical research performed over the last 19 years that gives profound and unambiguous evidence for low energy nuclear reaction (LENR), historically known as cold fusion.

In 1989, the subject was announced with great fanfare, to the chagrin of many people in the science community. However, the significant claim of its discoverers, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, excess heat without harmful neutron emissions or strong gamma radiation, involving electrochemical cells using heavy water and palladium, has held strong.

In recent years, LENR, within the field of condensed matter nuclear science, has begun to attract widespread attention and is regarded as a potential alternative and renewable energy source to confront climate change and energy scarcity. The aim of the research is to collect experimental findings for LENR in order to present reasonable explanations and a conclusive theoretical and practical working model.

The goal of the field is directed toward the fabrication of LENR devices with unique commercial potential demonstrating an alternative energy source that does not produce greenhouse gases, long-lived radiation or strong prompt radiation. The idea of LENR has led to endless discussions about the kinetic impossibility of intense nuclear reactions with high coulomb barrier potential. However, recent theoretical work may soon shed light on this mystery.

Understanding this process is one of the most challenging and perhaps important issues in the scientific world. This book includes previously unpublished studies, new and controversial theories to approach LENR with access to new sources and experimental results. The book offers insight into this controversial subject and will help readers re-evaluate their perspective on LENR as a possible alternative energy source.

Prime Elements of Ordinary Matter, Dark Matter & Dark Energy serves as a singular textbook on the history of scientific and mathematical ideas, an excellent complement to Roger Penrose's highly acclaimed but more conventional The Road to Reality.  In this book readers encounter many of the most brilliant minds and colorful personalities who have significantly contributed to the evolution of scientific knowledge, including those, such as Emmanuel Swedenbourg and Walter Russell, who are rarely, if ever, mentioned in traditional books.  The encounter with vfarious scientific geniuses, often on a human level, make this book highly engrossing.

In addition, this book serves as a lucid exposition of the author's original mathematical formulation of the vortex theory and its applications based on his discovery fo the toryx, and his formulation of the Three-Dimensional Spiral String Theory, which is his version of the grand unified field theory.  At the heart of his elegant formulation there is his profound philosophical insight into the nature of reality, especially the inversive relation between nothingness and thingness, coupled with his thorough knowledge of physics and mathematics.

Vladimir Ginzburg is a highly absorbing storyteller as well as a brilliantly original scientist.  On every page the reader will experience the special glow found onlywhen an author truly loves his subject.  Throughout this book the author shares his deep love of science and invites his readers to an exhilarating scientific exploration which ecites him to no end.  This is unquestionably one of the most enjoyable contemporary science books that also provides genuine substance. - Yasuhiko Genku Kimura, Founder and Chairman of Vision in Action (book back cover)

This is the 3rd edition.  The 2nd Edition had the subtitle, Beyond Standard Model & String Theory.

Dr. Ginzburg has ventured to find the simple principles hiding behind the diversities of macrocosm and microcosm. --Nobuyuki Kanai, Osaka, Japan, (book Preface)

This textbook accommodates the two divergent developmental paths which have become solidly established in the field of fusion energy: the process of sequential tokamak development toward a prototype and the need for a more fundamental and integrative research approach before costly design choices are made.

Emphasis is placed on the development of physically coherent and mathematically clear characterizations of the scientific and technological foundations of fusion energy which are specifically suitable for a first course on the subject. Of interest, therefore, are selected aspects of nuclear physics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, reaction dynamics, materials science, and engineering systems, all brought together to form an integrated perspective on nuclear fusion and its practical utilization.

The book identifies several distinct themes. The first is concerned with preliminary and introductory topics which relate to the basic and relevant physical processes associated with nuclear fusion. Then, the authors undertake an analysis of magnetically confined, inertially confined, and low-temperature fusion energy concepts. Subsequently, they introduce the important blanket domains surrounding the fusion core and discuss synergetic fusion-fission systems. Finally, they consider selected conceptual and technological subjects germane to the continuing development of fusion energy systems. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Volume 3 in set of 3.  Begins the application and theory, (no proofs are given in these books. Proofs are given in the books below). The subject of numbers being divided into octaves is discussed, and goes from here into applications in Music and Chemistry.  The proven Law of Harmonics is given along with the solution to tones of Music Of The Spheres. "Quantizing" is explained.  There is more emphasis placed upon the organization of energy.  All of these books are taking an important place in the research for New Energy which is free for the taking.

Free energy and anti-gravity are new solutions to the world's energy crisis. Rarely mentioned in the media-- even as power shortages cripple the U.S.-- Zero-Point Energy can transform our earth to a self-sustaining, pollution-free planet. The basic theory of Zero Point Energy maintains that there are fluctuations of electrical field energy embedded within the fabric of space. By identifying the densest energy; and then using today's technology to balance the energy flow, we can acquire free energy which doesn't deplete the earth. Filled with detailed diagrams, patents, and photos, the chapters include: * Fundamentals of Zero-Point Energy Technology * Tapping Zero-Point Energy as an Energy Source * Vacuum Energy Vortices * The Super Tube * Charge Clusters

Dr. Johnson has been interested in finding yet another source of energy for the past two decades.  To detail part of his literature search on this exciting topic, he wrote and self-published this eight chapter paperback book, available now for free in pdf.  For a paperback copy, email Dr. Johnson at gjohnson@ksu.edu with your address, and he will mail it by the cheapest method.

Dr. Jack Sarfatti has written a journal that is an eclectic blend of creative characters that lived in North Beach from the seventies to the present time. He validates his work with humor and photographs. It gives us a taste of the local coffee houses where he shares his intellect with those who join him in his mental travels of "Space time and beyond II". - Amazon review

This booklet contains reprints of original patents and other source material from "radiant energy" or "free energy" inventions primarily in the period 1901-1945.  The inventors covered include: Nikola Tesla, T. Henry Moray, Jose Yglesias, Roy J. Meyers, Harry E. Perrigo, C. Earl Ammann, and Hans Coler.  It includes valuable reference and bibliographical resources as well.

"This booklet is an interesting historical summary of inventions that would have changed the world except ... They didn't work, they weren't practical, or they were prevented from being developed by some real or imaginary entity. The contents cover inventions by Tesla, Moray, Yglesias, Roy J. Meyers, Perriog, Ammann, Anonymous, Hans Coler, and the electric car supposedly made by Tesla.

"In the introduction (page 3) the author/compiler cites work on measuring the speed of light. Here is a quote: "Michelson continued to believe in the existence of the ether, never accepting Einstein's interpretation, and he continued to devise new experiments to test the speed of light..." We suggest that the author include a reference to the following paper by Michelson: A.A. Michelson and Henry G. Gale, "The Effect of the Earth's Rotation on the Velocity of Light," Nature, 115, pg 566, (1925). Also: A.A. Michelson, "The Effect of the Earth's Rotation on the Velocity of Light, Part I," The Astrophysical Journal, 61, pp 137-139, (1925), and A.A. Michelson and Henry G. Gale, "The Effect of the Earth's Rotation on the Velocity of Light, Part II," The Astrophysical Journal, vol 61, pp 140-145 (1925). Somehow, these papers are seldom quoted by modern writers and yet they show that the false interpretation of the original Michelson-Morley experiment was a fiasco.

"These reports of marvelous inventions are of considerable historic interest. However, after many decades of efforts, why haven't any inventors been able to duplicate such inventions? Don't tell me that it is because someone doesn't want these inventions duplicated. Americans include talented and stubborn people who are not going to let any real or imagined entity suppress their efforts. Readers: Here is a challenge. Show me something that works - besides carburetors. Any good mechanic can lean out a carburetor and get up to 100 miles per gallon but it won't work winter to summer, up mountain and down to seashore like the good American dependable cars have done for decades.

"Here is a hypothesis about suppression of inventions: For every true suppression of an invention, there are nine other inventors who trashed their own labs or claimed suppression because they failed to do what they were so sure they could accomplish!

"Moray's invention wasn't suppressed. Some greedy guys tried to steal it and Moray wouldn't let them. That was part of Moray's paranoia. Tesla had a great idea of feeding power into the atmosphere and picking it up anywhere. It wasn't practical. I don't believe that his broadcast power could co-exist with today's radio and TV broadcasts. Sure, there have been some inventions suppressed; some ideas have died with their inventors; probably many other ideas died of natural causes. These historic inventors, some of whom were of genius category, are no better than we have today. Our scientific knowledge has increased from six to twelve times since some of these inventors lived. We have the science now to solve the world's energy problems. We have better math, we have high-speed, low-cost computers. All we need is more engineers and scientist who are not fooled by seventy years of mistaken interpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment. There is an energetic aether. Let's tap it! Maybe this book will give you some ideas." - Hal Fox, New Energy News, V4, N11, March 1997, p. 15.

Review by Bruce Perrault

In an effort to fathom deeper into the physical significance of fundamental properties of matter like mass, inertia, electric charge, and the very nature of the fundamental state of energy, in my earlier work, "The Substantial Space and Void Nature of Elementary material Particles", a new theory of space , energy , and matter was proposed. It was postulated that the absolute vacuum (space) is a fluid, massless, zero viscosity, incompressible medium in which material particles are created as vortices of the fluid space. The present book is further expansion on the same founding principles. It covers my further research on evolution and motion of galaxies, nature of magnetic field, eklectric current, light, electron theory of matter, interrelation between light and gravity, and fallacy of Einstein's ideas on space and time. 

To determine the nature of space and energy, which can evolve and maintain the universal matter and its associated fields, so that 'why' and 'how' of the fundamental properties of matter (as exhibitted) can be explained, is the main purpose of this work.

Postulates:

1. The medium of space possesses non-material properties, and is the only medium with absolute properties in the universe.
2. The fluid SS (substantial space ) medium can have steady flow at any velocity varying from zero up to a limiting velocity; pressurisaion / depressurisation effects are transmitted in SS at the same constant limiting speed.
3. The SS medium (Primary medium) of the universe possesses inherent motion.

An indispensible resource for new energy research, Steve's Notes is a collection of several significant source documents including patents, articles and technical reports.  It includes material on Edwin Gray's Electro-Magnetic Motor, Jack Scagnetti's Engine, Paul Monus's Permanent Magnetic Motor, Joe Newman's Unified Theory and Energy Generation System, Bert Werjefelt's Magnetic Battery, Howard Johnson's Permanent Magnetic Motor, Larry Spring's Magnetic Spheres, and more.  Selected from a virtual mountain of material collected by the editor of Exotic Research Reports, Steve's Notes represents the best of the best of information availble in new energy technologies involving magnets.

This book contains original research by Dan A. Davidson in the areas of free energy and anti-gravity. The T-Field is another name for the universal free energy field. The T-FIELD is ubiquitous (i.e. it is everywhere) and has unlimited potential energy.

The book gives some fascinating views on

1. the creation of a neutral center
2. the nature of gravity, magnetism, electricity
3. how the T-FIELD establishes the morphology of our physical world and
4. over forty heuristics on the various manifestations of the T-FIELD with mechanisms to tap this energy for use embedded in the text.

The book also contains the experiments done by the author on the Gary Magnetic Effect. This interesting effect was discovered over 100 years ago and lost to science. The Gary effect is the discovery of a neutral magnetic region created as a result of placing a magnetizable piece of material across the poles of a permanent magnet.

Also included is a marvelous dissertation on an experiment that validated John E. Keely's dissociation of water into sub-atomic particles. The experiment accidentally shot a clean hole through the laboratory ceiling and roof of the lab building. The experimenter accidentally used Keely's dissociation frequency.

Free energy and anti-gravity are possible today. The theory of zero point energy posits that there are great fluctuations of electrical field energy embedded within the fabric of space. Some examples: ? inventor T. Henry Moray produced a fifty-kilowatt free energy machine in 1930 ? the Pons/Fleischmann cold fusion experiment produced tremendous heat without fusion

The chapters in this remarkable book include: ? Artificial Gravity ? Stepping Down High Frequency Energy ? Noise as a Source of Energy ? Macroscopic Vacuum Polarization ? Cohering the Zero-Point Energy ? The Holistic Paradigm ? Electrolytic Fusion: A Zero-Point Energy Coherence? ? Scalar Currents and Scalar Waves

In the late 1800s, a young Serbo-Croatian defied the orthodox wisdom and discovered a way to transmit power over long distances! The result was the alternating current system (AC) we use in our homes, factories and industries today. His name Nikola Tesla.

Tesla was there FIRST!!! The real Father of Radio, Tesla was vindicated by the US Supreme Court which in 1943, dismissed ALL ofthe Marconi patent applications because Tesla's patents anticipated them 10 years prior! In fact, Tesla publicly demonstrated wireless remote control at Madison Square Gardens in the 1890s. The Navy's response--it's too advanced!

Tesla Technology is the future! Tesla's research was not confined to electricity. Many of Tesla's 100-plus patents have never been used because of the scrap heap complex. Rather than improve current technology, Tesla had a tendency to create NEW technologies which obsoleted the state-of-the-art. Much of this unused or lost technology contains the answers to many of today's problems--pollution, energy shortages, cancer, etc.

Tesla's master blueprint for the world was outlined in the 1900 Century Magazine article, "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" written during his stay in Colorado Springs where Tesla demonstrated the wireless transmission of power in 1899. Over the next fifty years, Tesla failed in his attempts to bring power to the people. These articles and letters to various editors form a clear, coherent, and articulate visualization of Tesla's concept of power, and how he could move immense amounts of currents through the earth with his magnifying transmitter. As you read Tesla's writings, you will realize that his dream of wireless power IS quite practical and the obstacles from the "organized opposition" he encountered in his struggle to realize his dream become self-evident.

Although a broad collection of intriguing energy technology research is described in this book, it is annoying to read. Not only does it lack footnotes or references for any technical details but the author consistently asserts that the researchers described have been treated inappropriately and meanspiritedly. For example, Nikola Tesla couldn't obtain adequate funding and so was frozen out of the energy field. John Keely received funding but was pressured for quick results, causing his ruination. One third of the book deals with individuals working on "free/space energy" or "zero-point energy": the untapped energy that exists in space. The rest of the book deals with other technologies: cold fusion, hydrogen, water hammers, etc., and the problems their advocates have encountered. While some of these technologies do show promise, the author feels they have all been deliberately suppressed?either by government, big business, or the media. She ignores the practicality question and simply concludes that conspiracy and/or persecution explain why more progress hasn't been made. Not an essential purchase. - Hilary Burton, Lawrence Livermore National Lab., Livermore, Cal.
