Project Ixion - Development of a Free energy system

One of the predictions which identifies my EMRP gravity theory from all the rest, is that highly energetic, extragalactic, electromagnetic waves in Planck frequency region, usually referred to by today's scientists as the vacuum fluctuations, or zero point energy, can be converted into useful work. Three different free energy technologies stem out directly from this principle, one based on electrostatic conservative fields, one based on magnetic conservative fields and one on gravitational conservative fields, all of which are nothing but direct manifestations of vacuum energy field gradients.

Once this free work extraction possibility is accepted, background vacuum energy has to be taken into account, and form part of the closed system being analysed. According to today's physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may possess (at zero Kelvin) and is the energy of the ground state of the system, wrongly assumed to be of a non-degenerate kind. We also learn that since zero point energy is the lowest possible energy a system can have, this energy cannot be removed from the system and no useful work can be done. In EMRP, the zero point energy is simply a reference point, a degenerate ground state, whose absolute energy level is far from zero, and that a system can be referenced to other levels below this zero point level, thus making available a continuous source of energy to be harnessed for useful work. But, as we always say, the sole validation test of any idea is experiment, and extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof. Project Ixion will be our main experimental project for years 2007-2008, our extraordinary proof, and is aimed to show that EMRP gravity theory is in fact the basis of the grand unification theory everybody is searching for, that opens the door to a totally new refreshing science, in which physical constants can be locally shifted from their nominal values at will, and thus, with a little ingenuity, makes clean energy converters a reality. I am not the first researcher to claim such possibility. Here are a few quotes to ponder upon:

'Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic and this we know it is for certain, then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.'
Nikola Tesla, 1932

'The attractive features of the cosmic rays is their constancy. They shower down on us throughout the whole 24 hours, and if a power plant is developed to use their power it will not require devices for storing energy as would be necessary with devices using wind, tide or sunlight.'
Nikola Tesla, 1932

'There are types of energy which lie outside the electromagnetic spectrum. Unfortunately, these research efforts have not been given recognition. For the most part, they have been performed by individuals without any support, whose work lies at the threshold of present-day science, and who are years ahead of science which is already established.'
Edgar Dean Mitchell, Ph.D, astronaut in Apollo 14 mission


'In our search for a new energy source, many of us know that the aether with its hidden energy is the only hope we have of succeeding in that quest. Modern physics views the vacuum of empty space not as a void but as a plenum of randomly fluctuating electromagnetic fields known as the zero-point energy'
Dr. Harold Aspden


'In the second place our result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position'
Albert Einstein


'Therefore I thought in 1905 that in physics one should not speak of the ether at all. This judgement was too radical though as we shall see with the next considerations about the general theory of relativity. It moreover remains, as before, allowed to assume a space-filling medium if one can refer to electromagnetic fields (and thus also for sure matter) as the condition thereof'.
Albert Einstein - Grundgedanken und Methoden der Relativitätstheorie in ihrer Entwicklung dargestellt, 1920


'A material Particle: A body so small that, for the purpose of our investigation, the distances between its different parts maybe neglected, is called a material particle. Thus in certain astronomical investigations the planets, and even the sun, maybe regarded each as a material particle, because the difference of the actions of different parts of these bodies does not come to our notice. But we cannot treat them as material particles when we investigate their rotation. Even an atom, when we consider it as capable of rotation, must be regarded as consisting of many material particles. The diagram of a particle is of course a mathematical point, which has no configuration.'.
Maxwell Clerk - Matter and motion,1920


'I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a fundamental error. Otherwise, the whole relativity theory collapses like a house of cards.'
Albert Einstein, in a letter to Robert Millikan, June 1921

'My opinion about Miller's experiments is the following. ... Should the positive result be confirmed, then the special theory of relativity and with it the general theory of relativity, in its current form, would be invalid. Experimentum summus judex. Only the equivalence of inertia and gravitation would remain, however, they would have to lead to a significantly different theory.'
Albert Einstein, in a letter to Edwin E. Slosson, July 1925


'The effect of ether-drift has persisted throughout. After considering all the possible sources of error, there always remained a positive effect.'
Dayton Miller,1928


'The principal attraction of the theory of relativity is that it constitutes a logical unity. If any single one of its consequences proves to be inexact, it must be abandoned'
Albert Einstein - How I see the World, 1939


'Whenever a physical theory is revised or transformed, it is revealed that, nearly always, the observation of one or several facts which could not fit within the framework of the theory in its then current form is at the base of the changes. The facts always remain the keystone on which the stability of any theory depends, no matter how important it may be...For a theoretician really worth of the name, it may be said in passing that nothing could be more interesting than a fact which runs counter to a theory until then held to be sound; for him, the real work begins at that point.'
Max Planck - Introduction to Physics, 1941


'You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track.'
Albert Einstein, on his 70th birthday, in a letter to Maurice Solovine, 28 March 1949


'I have now struggled with this basic problem of electricity for more than twenty years, and have become quite discouraged, though without being able to let go of it. I am convinced that a completely new and enlightening inspiration is needed... We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them'
Albert Einstein


The following quotes show how paradigms can affect even the most brilliant minds:

'There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom. The glib supposition of utilizing atomic energy when our coal has run out is a completely unscientific Utopian dream, a childish bug-a-boo. Nature has introduced a few fool-proof devices into the great majority of elements that constitute the bulk of the world, and they have no energy to give up in the process of disintegration.'
Robert A. Millikan, 1928 in his speech to the Chemists Club NY


'Any one who expects a source of power from the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine'
Ernest Rutherford, 1933


'One should not take this vacuum energy too literally, however, because the free-field theory is just a mathematical tool to help us understand what we are really interested in: the interacting theory. Only the interacting theory is supposed to correspond directly to reality. Because the vacuum state of the interacting theory is the state of least energy in reality, there is no way to extract the vacuum energy and use it for anything.'
John Baez, 1997 on SciAm board

Project Ixion is a clean energy generator, presently in its final (Phase III) development stage. Preliminary tests, performed under controlled laboratory environment, have already proven positive, predictable and easily replicable. We do have all experimental evidence required as a proof of concept, evidence which shows consistent measurable extraction of vacuum energy in the form of kinetic energy from a vacuum energy differential setup.

This is no perpetual motion or overunity device, although quite a few changes in the current physics have to be made to accommodate its principle of operation, otherwise it could easily but wrongly be categorized as such. Once vacuum energy is better understood, this machine can be modelled as a simple heat engine. The input is ambient vacuum energy, the output is purely mechanical. This mechanical energy can then be converted into electrical energy using any of the present technologies, by simply coupling to its main rotating shaft. This project will cost about $20,000, and will be financed at our own expenses, as with all the rest of our projects. The operation of this engine cannot be explained using today's mainstream physics, since systems are considered as closed systems which cannot interact with vacuum energy, but can be fully and easily understood by a young child, with the theories I have put forward to the public on this website. The aimed features of the final engine are:

Fuel : Vacuum energy present everywhere

Engine : VE Class EM

Output : From a few watts to kW depending on physical parameters

Exhaust emissions : None

Radiation emissions : None

Cooling requirements : None

Operating lifetime : Theoretically eternal, practically until something breaks

Principle of operation : Vacuum energy converter by offsetting vacuum energy reference level

Cost per kW hour : None (not considering the initial outlay )
