Background

This site was initially created December 2005 to house a collection of postings I made to the vortex-l newslist, NewCandle, sci.physics.fusion, sci.physics.electromag, sci.energy, sci.physics, and numerous other newslists since 1995. Considerable discussion of the subject matter, in addition to the original postings, can be found in archives of these lists. This collection of selected postings has been lightly edited and placed in pdf or html form here to facilitate future reference to them. In addition, some new material has been created for this site.

Note - everything here is created by an unqualified amateur, and beyond that an amateur prone to making mistakes and having lapses of memory! Also, many of the “new energy “ ideas are of course lunatic fringe. Certainly no free energy things are going to be allowed for patents! No reliance should be made on the accuracy or validity of anything on this web site! Information posted here may be highly speculative!

Warning! - No one should assume that any given method or experiment discussed on this web site or any referenced web sites or publications is safe or legal. This web site is informational only. It is intended to provoke serious thought on serious issues, to provide a starting point for intellectual exploration. I take no responsibility for what anyone may do with the information given here, either directly or consequentially. Experiments implied or documented here, although done by an amateur physicist, require experience and training in laboratory, electrical, chemical, and construction safety procedures, and methods, as well as appropriate facilities and safety gear. Safety in all cases also requires maturity, common sense, and extreme caution. Act on this information only at your own risk!

It has been said ideas are only one percent inspiration vs the 99 percent that is perspiration. Given that, if anything here provides even 1 percent of the inspiration for something truly important to mankind, then the effort has all been worthwhile. Similarly, if the outlandish thoughts here make anyone, especially a self learning physics student like me, question what we really know about the universe, and that leads on to meaningful investigations, then that too makes the effort worthwhile. If a concept is flawed, why is it flawed?
