   “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla (~1893)

“Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world’s machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels.” Nikola Tesla (1892)

Over Unity/Free Energy: permanent solutions for a healthy environment

True over unity or free energy devices have been developed and proven to work for over 125 years. Some of these devices have produced enough electricity to permanently run a small business, factory, home or farm. There are hundreds of patents worldwide on these devices. The gadgets that work never make it out of the inventor’s research lab and into the public domain. The free energy patents and the unpatented devices that can be practically applied threaten the national security structure by replacing the current energy paradigm of fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewable energy. To protect this structure working devices that have merit are confiscated and the inventors are threatened or even murdered.

The free energy/over unity/zero-point energy/vacuum energy generators extract energy from fluctuations (resonating frequencies) in the quantum fields that give rise to residual energy in the ground state (stationary state of lowest energy-absolute zero) of a system. Resonant circuits are tuned to these fluctuations (frequencies) to harness this energy and convert it into usable electrical energy. This vacuum energy is all around us and throughout the universe.

There are numerous free-energy devices with a wide range of electrical outputs that potentially can be inserted into any electrical device. In this blog, I will only touch on three devices that have produced enough power to permanently run a home, electric vehicle (EV), small business, or farm. The devices are scaleable if more electrical energy is required, and they can be locally installed, like an appliance, without using today’s cumbersome electrical infrastructure.

In the 1930s Dr. Thomas Henry Moray of Salt Lake City, UT, a Tesla-inspired physicist, electrical engineer, and the father of modern electronics developed what he called a Radiant Energy Device. Moray demonstrated his device on many occasions on land, underground, air, and water leaving engineers and scientists flabbergasted. It took Moray 20 years and $200,000 (1936 dollars) of his own money to research, develop, and tweak the device. In 1936 Moray had developed a 55 lb (30kg) box with an input of 0 kW to produce a constant output of 50 kW. The device was denied a patent because it mentioned the Moray Valve, a germanium transistor, a cold tube solid-state electronic component unknown to the patent office at the time. The patent examiner didn’t see how it worked since the cathode in a conventional hot tube had no means of being heated. The device used a simple antenna, solid-state electronic circuitry, and specially designed cathode ray tubes. An interesting side note, the transistor was developed by Bell Laboratories 20 years later, and an even more interesting side note is that solid-state electronics were developed by the NAZIs and German electronic firms in the 1930s but that’s another story. It makes me wonder how Bell Laboratories got wind of their transistor since the victors (Allies and Soviets) got the spoils of WWII.

US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ordered the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) to work with Moray. A controversy grew between the REA and Moray, and Moray felt the government engineers were trying to sabotage his work. The details are unclear but a REA engineer, Felix Frazer (possible Soviet spy), took a sledgehammer and smashed Dr. Moray’s only working device to pieces. Moray believed to his dying day that it was a communist plot for refusing to cooperate with the Soviet Union. The device was never rebuilt because of the expense involved, inflation, and the suppliers providing specific parts had gone out of business. Moray was left bankrupt. On March 2, 1940 Dr. Moray was wounded in his lab in a gun battle which his son, John, felt there was some kind of conspiracy at work. Dr. Moray’s fears and suspicions may have been well founded since Republican Representative Thomas D. Winter wanted a full-scale investigation of the REA because of the Soviet spy's infiltration who wanted complete disclosure of the materials and construction of the Radiant Energy Device. Dr. Moray severed his ties with the REA in February 1941. While working for the REA, Moray was paid $25.00/day. He died at 82 on May 18, 1974.

Floyd ‘Sparky’ Sweet was a college student when he earned his nickname Sparky at the General Electric (GE) plant where he worked. He had disconnected some wires resulting in an instrument exploding in a spectacular spray of sparks. Despite the incident, he had an intuitive gift for solving electrical problems and his extraordinary achievements in the field of electromagnets prompted GE to further his education by awarding him a scholarship to MIT. In 1968 he earned his MSEE from MIT and specialized in applied magnetic and transformer design for GE. In the mid-1970s he moved to Los Angeles, CA where he continued with GE as a consultant and enjoyed semi-retirement. When he fully retired in the 1980s he focused on his device, the Vacuum Triode Amplifier (VTA). Sweet had noticed that on rare occasions a self-oscillation effect occurred in electric transformers and felt that these oscillations could be useful in producing energy. The VTA consists of an assembly of magnets and wire coils where a tiny input of energy in microwatts is used to initiate shaking and disturb a magnet’s force field into perpetual motion creating an output of amplified vacuum energy in watts and megawatts. After some research, development, and tweaking a viable device emerged producing a stable power supply.

In 1987 Sweet’s final prototype was the most impressive and intriguing. The device was a solid-state gadget the size of a hand-held external hard drive. It was tested many times by his fellow researchers and continuously had an input of 0.3 milliwatts needed to jump-start the device and an output of 223,710 watts (223.71 kW), according to Dr. Steven Greer in his documentary “The Lost Century”. This stable output can easily run an EV, power a house, small business, or farm permanently without being tied to an electrical grid. After reading through the literature and watching videos there seems to be some discrepancy as to the output of the device. That’s probably because there were several versions built each with their own outputs confusing the readers and viewers.

The device was not independently verified but repeatedly tested by his main colleague, Lt. Col. Tom Bearden who was also a backer along with others who have tested and verified the device's operational capabilities. Sweet felt the independent verification would ‘snuff’ him out immediately. He frustrated his fellow researchers by keeping secret the most important process of how he conditioned the magnets at the heart of the VTA. Sweet didn’t want his ‘secret sauce’ stolen by unscrupulous people who would build their own without giving him credit. He was also concerned, not only for his life but mass rapid production of the device would upset the economy causing world markets to collapse. Similar to Moray the secrets that made the device work went to the grave along with the inventor. Researchers have tried to replicate the devices but failed to reproduce the original results.

As there was with Moray there was conspiracy afoot. Sparky was shot at but the assassin missed. His apartment was broken into and his notes stolen. After leaving a supermarket one day Sweet was accosted by a well-dressed gentleman who showed him a picture of him and his wife sitting in their dining room on the second floor of their apartment building. The gentleman walked Sweet to his apartment building and threatened him if he didn’t discontinue his research. After having been shown the photo Sparky kept getting death threats from payphones across the country. He died mysteriously from a heart attack after having a cup of coffee at 83. Hours later mysterious men claiming to be FBI in black vans confiscated all his equipment. Like with many of these inventors, there is some confusion surrounding his death, business affairs, and those who confiscated the equipment.

In 1931 Dr. Tesla [stand aside Elon Musk Tesla] had converted a Pierce-Arrow into an electric vehicle. Here is an excerpt from: “The Forgotten Art of Electric Powered Automobiles” by Arthur Abrom posted on rexresearch.com’s website, Tesla Electric Car -- Miker Gamble retroengineering for Q.

“Tesla's Electric Car.....But, back to our electric automobiles -- in 1931, under the financing of Pierce-Arrow and George Westinghouse, a 1931 Pierce-Arrow was selected to be tested at the factory grounds in Buffalo, NY. The standard internal combustion engine was removed and an 80-hp 1800  rpm electric motor installed to the clutch and transmission. The AC motor measured 40 inches long and 30 inches in diameter and the power leads were left standing in the air -- no external power source!

At the appointed time, Nikola Tesla arrived from New York City and inspected the Pierce-Arrow automobile.  He then went to a local radio store and purchased a handful of tubes (12), wires and assorted resistors. A box measuring 24 inches long, 12 inches wide and 6 inches high was assembled housing the circuit. The box was placed on the front seat and had its wires connected to the air-cooled, brushless motor. Two rods 1/4" in diameter stuck out of the box about 3" in length.

Mr. Tesla got into the driver's seat, pushed the two rods in and stated, "We now have power". He put the car into gear and it moved forward! This vehicle, powered by an AC  motor, was driven to speeds of 90 mph. and performed better than any internal combustion engine of its day! One week was spent testing the vehicle.  Several newspapers in Buffalo reported this test. When asked where the power came from, Tesla replied, "From the ethers all around us". Several people suggested that Tesla was mad and somehow in league with sinister forces of the universe. He became incensed, removed his mysterious box from the vehicle and returned to his laboratory in New York City. His secret died with him!

It is speculated that Nikola Tesla was able to somehow harness the earth's magnetic field that encompasses our planet. And, he somehow was able to draw tremendous amounts of power by cutting these lines of force or causing them to be multiplied together. The exact nature of his device remains a mystery but it did actually function by powering the 80 hp AC motor in the Pierce Arrow at speeds up to 90 m.p.h. and no recharging was ever necessary!”

Another source from an unidentified document of the 1980s has more details of Tesla’s electric car, Tesla Electric Car -- Miker Gamble retroengineering for Q. This was an interview with Tesla’s nephew, Peter Savo. According to Peter, the clutch, brake, and manual gear shift were the same as with the gasoline version of the car. The speedometer was calibrated at 120 mph. The 12-volt Willard battery was mainly used for lights. There was also a six-foot antenna extending from the rear of the car. An ignition key started the car. Tesla mentioned the receiver that powered the car had enough reserve power to light up a whole house. Peter mentioned Tesla was very secretive about the car and didn’t answer some of his questions. After the eight days of testing in Buffalo, Tesla was pleased with the results. He removed the ignition key and radio tubes and left the car at a secluded farmhouse 20 miles from Buffalo. How the receiver worked remains a mystery.

Wikipedia which has known deliberate disinformation and omissions, and connections to the CIA considers Tesla’s electric car a hoax although they doubt the entry as possibly not meeting their general notability guideline. It's not surprising if disinformation has been disseminated to discredit his free-energy electric car.

Tesla near the end of his life was treated very much like many of the gifted free energy innovators. The media often painted him as suffering from paranoia, but they never mentioned his real enemies with real agendas that were not in Tesla’s best interests.  Although Tesla had 300 patents worldwide, he did believe in technology sharing and believed that technological advancements should benefit humanity as a whole and not be restricted by patents and commercial interests. He died poor on January 7, 1943, at 86 in the Hotel New Yorker. People and corporations profited handsomely from his inventions and took credit for his innovations with little compensation to him.   

Free energy can easily be introduced to the public by starting with electric vehicles (EV). These devices would make every EV permanently electrically self-sufficient and provide reliable hazel-free transportation. The EV can also serve as a power plant for camping, mobile homes, and job sites, and as a backup power supply during power outages for your home.

Radiation Remediation and Thorium Reactors: permanent solutions for a healthy environment

Radiation Remediation and thorium reactors are taken from ‘Fukushima Solutions World Conference’, University of Texas, Austin March 22-23, 2014: speaker, David Yurth. (Transcript: DY-Srt - Google Docs)

From 1994-2002 Dr. David Yurth set up a privately owned research lab in Salt Lake City, UT and teamed up with several scientists from around the world to publish, share, and open source their findings. They also held conferences to publicize their research. Out of this research came a technology that produced high-energy charge clusters to remediate radioactive wastes. Kenneth Shoulders in the group received recognition for creating that technology. The device would shoot out electrons at one end of a spark generator. These electrons, rather than dispersing away from each other generated small doughnut-shaped tori. When the tori are guided by a magnetic field through a proton-rich environment such as deuterium (a stable isotope of hydrogen) gas, each torus being highly negatively charged in the centre would attract the relatively heavier protons travelling at 10% the speed of light into the centre of the torus. The protons would have enough kinetic energy when striking a nucleus of the target radioactive material to temporarily, but not catastrophically, disrupt the nuclear structure causing the release of some protons, neutrons, gamma rays, and lots of electrons. After the bombardment, the structure reestablishes itself except the half-life is cut to 50%. Another bombardment reduces the radioactive material by another half. Yurth gives an example of radioactive Cesium-137 when bombarded by high-density charge clusters in a deuterium environment the half-life is reduced from 30 years to 15 years with one bombardment. When Cesium-137 is continued to be bombarded by high-density charge clusters the half-life is further reduced to 7 1/2 years, then 3 3/4 years and so on until the radioactive emissions are at ambient background levels. This technology has been demonstrated for 11 years to repeatedly work for both solid and liquid radioactive wastes. Radioactive nuclear wastes can be remediated in real time as it’s being produced on-site using this safe and effective method. Yurth personally knows of four different effective methods that can be used to eliminate radioactive wastes permanently without any contamination. The US patent office and literature contain an additional 84 innovations (600 patents worldwide) to deal with radioactive waste and contamination using plasma, magnetic fields, and cryogenic methods. In 2011, the Russians had a research project that totally remediated 1500 cubic meters of high-level contaminated waste. Mainstream scientific publications refused to publish the Russian scientist’s research which led them to open source their findings.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) got wind of what Yurth and his researchers were doing and wanted them to share their data with the Department. They packed up their materials and sent them to the DOE who in turn sent them out to another lab to verify the scientific results. After a year, the lab not only confirmed the results but also the technique used to remediate radioactive wastes. The scientists thought they were being invited by the DOE to participate in a process to implement the design engineering prototype for testing and deploying alpha and beta additions for on-site field testing to remediate nuclear waste. Apparently, the DOE tricked them when an assistant to the secretary of the DOE called Yurth in October 2005 and screamed so loud over the phone that Yurth had to hold the phone away from his head. The DOE didn’t want anything to do with Yurth or their research. They were told to stop their research or be arrested under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and be thrown in jail without representation, and if they didn’t desist they would be served national secrecy orders. They stopped their research and in 2010 under the new Obama administration Yurth got another phone call from an individual in the DOE apologizing for the behaviour of the previous DOE secretary and to prepare a presentation and come to Washington, DC to give a private presentation to all their 26 department heads. They worked throughout the summer putting the presentation together, and three weeks before the presentation was scheduled to occur a private email from the DOE individual expressed his regrets that there was no political alternative except to cancel the conference. The DOE department heads gave this DOE individual such a negative reaction to the meeting that they didn’t want the conversation or have it on record in the DOE offices that the conversation or the meeting even took place.

Yurth concluded the inmates are running the asylum. Private interests and their capital are protecting their economic and political territory by preventing genuinely useful technologies from getting onto the market. Much of the massive US budget goes towards military spending and research projects with little towards addressing environmental issues or serving civilian concerns.

In 1954, Yurth continues, Edward Teller developed and patented the liquid sodium thorium reactor without the problems posed by uranium nuclear reactors. The operating temperatures are much lower with no meltdowns or explosions eliminating radioactive material leaking into the air or groundwater. There is no need for cooling towers, liquid mercury, pressurized containment vessels, or exotic materials. Dr. Otis Peterson operated a sodium thorium reactor prototype for 11 years with few issues producing 10 megawatts of power with a performance temperature of 200 C. According to Yurth, the Chinese are spending millions of dollars and currently lead in the building of sodium thorium reactors which will eventually replace their coal-fired power plants.

In a 2005 article by Noir and Teller published in ‘Nuclear Technology’, “ the power plant [thorium nuclear reactor] could operate for up to 200 yr with no transport of fissile material to the reactor or of wastes from the reactor during this period. Advantages that include utilization of an abundant fuel, inaccessibility of that fuel to terrorists or for diversion to weapons use, together with good economics and safety features such as an underground location will diminish public concerns....”

Numerous articles on thorium reactors focus mostly on issues downplaying their benefits as an alternative to cleaner, safer nuclear power over the existing uranium reactors. The world is slowly catching on to thorium reactors, which are touted as the future of nuclear energy. Thorium is also widely available, being three times more abundant than uranium.

Green Quirk part 1

Introduction: permanent solutions for a healthy environment

The five renewable energy sources; hydro, biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal are the main alternative energy sources to electric power produced from fossil fuels and nuclear-powered generating stations. The renewables are much cleaner but biomass burning has issues with environmental contamination, mainly air quality.

Fossil fuel burning, as we know, has a very high ecological footprint because of various pollutants released into the environment. Nuclear, although clean, produces radioactive wastes and has the potential to release radioactive contamination lasting for millions of years (Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island).

Wind turbines and solar panels are inefficient for a large-scale electrical grid system that requires a continuous reliable source of electricity. Solar and wind are very expensive and not very cost-effective since the sun doesn’t shine every day, and windless days are common even on the prairies.

In 2025 the most efficient solar panel available to the public was 22.8% efficient and that of wind turbines is roughly 20-45%. Dust, snow, and ice build-up further reduced the efficiency of solar panels. The panels have to be replaced every 25-30 years and are 94-96% recyclable. If the solar cells are disposed of in landfills chemical pollution (Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide, Cadmium Telluride, Cadmium Hallium (di)Selenide, Hexafluoroethane, Lead, Polyvinyl Fluoride) can become an environmental hazard. Modern wind turbines have a life expectancy averaging 20 years, and the 15% that can’t be salvaged end up in the landfill. Solar and wind farms are open to the destructive influence of hail and strong winds, and they take away the allure from the landscape.

Biomass and biofuel-burning electric generating stations have been sold to the public as a clean renewable green energy solution to coal and are popular in the US, Canada, and Europe. Biomass burning consumes millions of acres of forests annually coming from forests mainly in Canada, Indonesia, and South America. The forestry companies export chips or pellets worldwide to biomass-burning plants for a clean and efficient burn. However, some biomass facilities burn green and damp trees producing temperatures below the optimal level which is generally around 600C or higher. To raise the temperatures some US plants supplement the biomass with natural gas, tire chips and old creosote and PCP (pentachlorophenol) treated railroad ties. Some biomass power stations in eastern US cities are garbage incinerators. This leaves one to question whether biomass burning is actually green. The response to this question must consider the extensive destruction of forests, displacement of indigenous people in South America and elsewhere, endangerment and extinction of wildlife, and health hazards caused by air pollution. This is the opposite of what has been sold to the public. What exactly is renewable Green Energy? How serious is the concern about the environment? Is Green Energy just another exploitative capitalist tool creating corporate shareholder value and making a few people extremely rich?

There are more challenges to the extensive electrical grid infrastructure. The system is vulnerable to solar activity, heavy frost, ice, aging, wildfires, and hurricanes. The cost-effectiveness of the grid is affected by the reduced electrical power loss during transmission. The power loss occurs when electrical energy is converted into heat because of the resistance in the transmission lines and this loss can be significant over long distances. The repair and maintenance costs of this elaborate system are millions and billions of dollars.

Another challenge to the grid system is periodic major and even smaller solar events. Examples are, Solar Cycle 10 or the Carrington Event of September 1 &2, 1859 where a major solar geomagnetic storm caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. On July 23, 2012, a larger and possibly stronger solar disturbance than the Carrington Event, missed Earth by roughly 9 days. The Quebec Blackout of 1989 was caused by a significant solar storm resulting in a massive outages caused by transformer failure. The interaction between the solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and the Earth’s magnetic field can lead to electromagnetically induced currents along the transmission lines causing high voltage transformers to overheat and fail resulting in power outages.

The electrical infrastructure is further challenged by the arrival of electric vehicles.

Battery-powered electric vehicles (EV) have become the alternative to the polluting internal combustion engine (ICE). The EV has overcome many of the initial challenges making them as reliable as the ICE vehicles and their low maintenance has made them attractive initially; however, the replacement battery can be expensive and in 2025 is roughly 32-35% of the cost of the EV. The battery and access to a charging station are limiting factors for the EV. The size of an average EV battery is roughly 40-71 kWh lasting about 10 years with an 8-year warranty in the US and Canada.

The Green Quirk blogs parts 2 to 5 are stories of suppressed genuine alternative green energy and healthy environmental solutions that conflict with the established energy infrastructure. The conflicts go further into the ‘shoddy’ environmental solutions attempting to solve man-made environmental problems that appear to be deliberately introduced in some cases. The innovators and their fate for bravely trying to insert their innovations into the established energy and environmental sector will also be discussed. Once you see what has been suppressed you might want to ask yourself a question, how serious is all this ‘environmental talk’ or is it simply exploitive capitalism or a clever way to raise taxes? While you’re pondering that question, take a deeper look at the driving forces and mechanisms behind the global economic system, and look at what’s being exploited to sustain an economy. Anyone offering a permanent genuine solution to disease, war, catastrophic events, and other problems can easily upset the global financial structure and threaten the national security of any nation.
