I wonder what the largest Crookes Radiometer has ever been made.

How many watts could be generated if one would succesively link 50= 0-1000 Crookes Black/White wheels to a thin driveshaft inside a large v= accum.

Enough to turn some magnets and trickle charge a battery I would imagin= e.

You know where it comes from, right? If not let me refresh your memory; in the book/movie The Omen 3, Damien Thorn (the Antichrist) develops a new source of free energy which is assumed to be for the purpose of leading the uneducated and morally bankrupt masses of the world into damnation. Not really a ringing endorsement of alternative energy is it? I guess that is why the movie annoyed me when it came out (70's?). I suppose that "inevitable doom" interpretation of the book of Revelation means that God wants us to go on using fossil fuels until they either run out or we all die from the consequences of using them. Or maybe it assumes that we must, to fulfill Divine design, start building more nuclear power plants. After all, the goal of good folk everywhere should be to destroy the world that we all know and love in order to open the pathway for the triumphal return of Jesus Christ shouldn't it? But what about the Thorn Industries device itself? I don't think that the movie really went into describing how it was supposed to work but I do remember what it looked like. It was a low, factory type building which was situated right along the seashore. It had a large, metal ball above it which was supported by a cylindrical tower, sort of like a huge Van De Graff generator. It didn't mean anything to me at the time and still is only a fictional product of the writer's or filmmaker's imagination but the image stuck with me. As I describe my line of reasoning in this story you will see why the memory of that Satanic power plant resurfaced in my mind as I considered various ways to produce hydrogen from water in more efficient ways and how that plant might be adapted to become one possible incarnation of the particular method that I am going to describe for you here (besides it made a great title). First off let's have a look at the fictional power source and see if we can identify the key components which would be involved in it's operation as best we can from the above description. There is the Van De Graff ball above the plant, that could be taken to represent a high voltage power supply. Or if you wanted to be a bit more specific you could say a high voltage, electrostatic power source. Next is the proximity of the plant to water, the ocean. From that we could surmise that water is another component of this (hypothetical) free power source. Since the ocean is salty (NaCl is an electrolyte), we might also assume that water with an electrolyte is a major component. From those two ingredients we could make some fairly realistic projections about how the system might have been able to work. Obviously using electricity and water with an electrolyte we can produce hydrogen fuel and so perhaps hydrogen was the intended result of this system? But it takes energy to produce hydrogen from water so how could this be a "free" energy system? On the other hand it takes more energy to turn a windmill than is produced by the generator that is attached to it and so how could that provide usable energy? Simple, it just depends on where you get your primary energy from. If you can find a source of energy which already exists in the environment (such as wind) then use that energy to generate electricity (as in the case of a windmill) or to split water and store the resulting hydrogen gas for later use then such a system becomes quite viable. Next we should have a look at our planet and see if we can identify such a source of energy. I will outline two here that aren't being discussed too much in the mainstream press (or anywhere else for that matter). There are other embodiments of these sources but I won't go into those yet as I may want to try to make a buck or two off one of them. The Earth is part of a larger system and the energy of this system is supplied (by and large) by the Sun. The charged particles leaving the sun and radiating out into space are called the Solar Wind. As these particles hit the upper atmosphere they cause this part of the atmosphere to become electrically charged and to form a plasma. This is the plasmasphere. As a result of this charging by the sun the plasmasphere has a certain electrical potential (charge). Way down below on the ground there is a different potential (charge). Between these two plates is the dielectric, the air. Of course there is water vapor in the air as well as the air itself being made of several different gasses so it is a mixed dielectric. So the difference in charge between these two points could be called a potential difference or voltage. In essence then the Earth is acting as a huge, spherical capacitor (http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~vawter/PhysicsNet/Topics/Capacitors/EarthCap.html). Those of us who live here on the ground are living on one plate of a fully charged electrical capacitor. Think about that, we live in a sea of invisible energy and we don't even realize it. I would like to inject here two points for your consideration which are not really related to the main topic of this article but are still worth thinking about. One is that, since the Earth is a capacitor and the air between the ground and the plasmasphere is the dielectric of this capacitor it is interesting to think about what might be the effects of any substantial changes in the composition of the dielectric. All dielectric substances have different levels of permeability. This determines how much of a potential difference is required to cause dielectric breakdown (when electric current is able to pass through the dielectric). If the air dielectric was to break down, for example, it might permit electrical current to flow directly between the Plasmasphere and the surface of the planet. Sort of like huge bolts of lightning of a type never before seen. I thought it was an interesting concept. Following that train of thought one has to think about how the atmosphere has been changed recently. We have seen the addition of many new substances to the atmosphere. Chloroflurocarbons were the first one that we decided could bring about substantial changes to a vital part of out atmosphere (the Ozone Layer). Now we are looking at Carbon Dioxide as the next pollutant which is present in large enough concentrations to change the composition of the atmosphere in general with rather negative consequences for life forms who a) breathe oxygen and b) like to live in somewhat moderate temperatures. What about water though? Burning fossil fuels creates water where no water existed before. It also takes oxygen out of the atmosphere and bonds it into this water that it creates as well as into CO2 gas that it also creates (CH4 +2O2 ----> CO2 + 2H2O). So the Earth has more water and free carbon dioxide today than it did 200 years ago and less oxygen due to the use of fossil fuels. Much of this water is injected directly into the atmosphere as steam from auto exhaust and jet aircraft exhaust. A recent study discovered water higher in the atmosphere than it was ever detected before (at the quantities measured). If this atmospheric water was pure H2O it would be just one more addition to the atmospheric dielectric but it isn't pure. Another pollutant created by burning fossil fuels is Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) which, when mixed with water, becomes Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). So much of this new atmospheric water is acidulated by sulfuric acid. The most well known evidence of this is the acid rain which has been a problem for some time now. But another, less well known/discussed effect is that, by mixing a substance like sulfuric acid (which is an electrolyte) with water the resulting solution is no longer a dielectric, it becomes an electrical conductor. A very different situation indeed when you consider that by putting an electrical conductor higher and in greater concentrations in the insulating atmosphere than it has ever been before we are effectively decreasing the distance between the Plasmasphere plate of our planetary capacitor and the Ground plate. The closer two plates of a capacitor are the less dielectric that is between them and the less voltage that is required to cause dielectric breakdown and for current to flow directly between the two plates. What are the implications? I am not sure. As best as I can tell from asking a couple of climate change researchers no one is looking at these particular things in this way. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Back to my main topic though. We are living on one plate of a capacitor and we would like to find a way to use the energy of the capacitor that we live on to separate water and store the resulting H2 as a fuel. Ok, seems simple enough. What we need first is a way to collect this planetary energy and to direct it to flow between our point of collection and another point of lower electrical potential. In this pathway between these two points of different potential we will install our hydrogen producing mechanism so that current flows though it. What if we were to create a "capacitor within a capacitor"? Have a look at these pages before you read further as I will utilize concepts presented in them in this paper: (1) http://amasci.com/tesla/spark.html (2) http://www.amasci.com/amateur/whygnd.html These pages contain a good explanation of planetary electrical energy by Bill Beatty, an electrical engineer and acquaintance of mine. In the second paper referenced above in the 2nd through 5th paragraphs is a nice encapsulation of the framework for the first device proposed. Illustration: ( http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/damien1.JPG ) The illustration I prepared is rather simple and without doubt could probably use a lot of work to make it something viable but we have to start somewhere, don't we? At any rate, in it you see a wire which serves as the other capacitor plate (the ground being the first). This Capacitive Antenna is mounted on wooden poles 30' high and the antenna is 200' long. At that height we should be able to get several hundred volts of charge built up on the wire. That wire then runs to an electrolysis cell and from there to a ground stake. That way any charge that builds up on the wire will have to drain through our electrolysis cell to get to the ground. Of course while it passes through the electrolysis cell the current will produce H2 and O2 gas from the water. Electrolysis cells require a certain minimum voltage to operate, depending on the electrolyte used (usually 2 volts or less) and until this minimum voltage build up on the wire the cell will act like a capacitor itself. Once sufficient charge builds up the cell will act as a conductor and drain away the excess charge. An engineer might make many beneficial modifications to such a system. Such modifications might include using the antenna wire as a high voltage source and pulsing the DC charge by installing an oscillator or some such electronic component and then use a transformer to convert the high voltage low current of the antenna to low voltage high current on it's secondary as the current level not the voltage is what determines how much H2 is produced in an electrolysis cell. That is probably the simplest free hydrogen system that I can show you and it is a working embodiment of the Damien device from the movie. Cool, ain't it? Another way to produce a more or less permanent voltage from naturally occurring conditions on the Earth, still using the ocean as a critical component, would be to use the ocean itself. You see the salinity of the water in the ocean is not at a constant level throughout. In deeper water there is a higher concentration of salt than there is in shallow water or in bays where a lot of fresh water is entering the ocean and diluting it's salinity. Why is this important? As I pointed out earlier salt is an electrolyte. This means that when it is placed in water salt splits into electrically charged pieces (ions) NaCL ----> Na+ + Cl- . The PH value of a solution which is familiar in that it shows whether a solution is acid or basic can also be used to determine the electrical charge of such a solution. The more ions present the higher the charge. If the negative ion has the higher charge the solution is acidic and if the positive ion has the higher charge it is positively charged. One can say that is all well and good but because there are an equal number of positive and negative ions in a solution then the solution overall is electrically neutral. You would be correct BUT if you compare two different containers of water with different concentrations of the same electrolyte in them (such as salt), even though both solutions are electrically neutral on an individual basis, one container has a significantly higher number of charged particles overall and because of this there is a measurable potential difference between those two containers or between different concentrations of salt at different depths in the ocean. This charge would probably be somewhat static though and some method of oscillating the charge between two or more plates of some inert metal (one at each depth desired) would probably be needed in order to make use of this permanent charge to separate water and produce H2 fuel. That isn't the point though, the point is that there are MANY sources of free electrical energy available to us naturally in the environment around us which could potentially be utilized to produce hydrogen fuel from water for us to use. H2 from water is a totally non-polluting energy source and it doesn't rob oxygen from the environment either or release CO2 or any other pollutant into the environment. Just based on that isn't H2 from water the fuel that we should be putting all our research efforts into? As I promised in the last H2 News I have tried to put together here a somewhat persuasive argument for the viability of two methods to produce free H2 from water. Hopefully the somewhat novel way of doing it (using Damien's Machine as an example) was at least slightly amusing. These methods are very simple to understand with no moving parts to wear out and would, if indeed they are possible, do wonders for the implementation of the Hydrogen Economy. Imagine that, no more buying heating oil for your home or gas for your car! No more pollution! And it is possible NOW, not in 20 years. As long as the Earth is here this will work because it uses the free energy that is provided by the planet itself.

Yet in this past year, with the Tsunami, we have seen just how fast that natural conditions on the Earth can align themselves together to bring about a scale of human destruction so profound as to be nearly indescribable and yet at the same time spare the lives of most of the animals and plants of the area. At the same time we have read stories about Climate Change and how grass is growing in Antarctica, Russian bears who can't sleep, fish and animal species that are moving into areas where they never lived before to take advantage of new temperatures and seen the damage caused by the melting of the Permafrost in the Arctic. With the recent passing of the Kyoto Treaty there is now a glut of climate change stories in the news and this issue will be filled with many of those links. Stories with such attention grabbing titles as ;"A Glimpse of Hell", "Global Warming is Real"and "Food Scarcity Predicted" are just the tip of the iceberg. With those stories in mind, after stocking up on shotgun shells and bottled water, I remembered the words to a song by Bob Seger and I think you will agree that the lyrics to that song are sort of prescient in regard to this issue. In Your Time By Bob Seger In your time the innocence will fall away In your time the mission bells will toll All along the corridors and riverbeds They'll be signs.....In your time Towering waves will crash across your southern capes massive storms will reach your eastern shores Fields of green will tumble through your summer days, by design, In your time Feel the wind and set yourself the bolder course Keep your heart as open as a shrine You'll sail the perfect line and after all the dead ends and the lessons learned after all the stars have turned to stone There'll be peace,..... across the great unbroken void all benign.......in your time You'll be fine,.... in your time. ******************************************************************************** Here is the article by guest writer Eric Kreig: Pseudo-Science claims about Hydrogen By Eric the skeptic For every real area of science is a whole underworld of falsehood. Particularly with cutting edge science and particularly on the internet, one can find a wealth of exciting – yet WRONG claims. Such misinformation is spawned by a triumvirate of self-taught idiots, wide-eyed lunatics and by con men. For any advocate of a hydrogen future comes the unfortunate public service responsibility of debunking myths about hydrogen. One of the most pernicious hydrogen urban legends is that of "Browns Gas". Don't snicker. It is only a stoichemetrc ratio of hydrogen and oxygen – it was known of long before a nut named Yull Brown claimed to invent it. I provide a web page on information and misinformation on the subject at HYPERLINK "http://www.phact.org/e/bgas.htm"www.phact.org/e/bgas.htm For sake of space a quick summary of false claims about it include: * It can heal sickness. * It can render radioactive materials safe. * You can get more energy out of burning it than it takes to separate it. * It implodes rather than explodes and is perfectly safe. * You can safely pressurize it. ****************************************************************************************** Water Based Transistors By Mike Johnston Copyright 2005 A few issues back I looked at how you could create water based electronic components. In that story I mentioned that I hadn't been able to figure out how to build a water based tansistor. Now I have. Not exactly what I thought one would look like and perhaps not exactly what it is but I think calling it a transistor is a reasonably good description of it's form and function (click here for a description of how transistors work: http://www.amasci.com/amateur/transis.html ) In essence a transistor allows a small electrical current to control a large current. In the case of the concept that I am going to lay out for you here you could think of it as a small electrical current controlling a large electrochemical current. Remember that the larger the current in an electrolysis cell the more H2 that is produced. In this water based transistor one of the main components will be an electrical plasma. So first off let's get a simple definition of a plasma; "A plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the atoms is ionized, so that the electrons and ions are separately free." This ionization occurs when enough energy is present in the form of heat or electrical energy. You could say then that, in this respect, a container of water with electrolyte in it resembles a low energy, liquid state plasma since the atoms of electrolyte in the water are separated into ions.Interestingly enough the behavior of semiconducors is explained as Solid State Plasma. Some examples of plasmas are; the Solar Wind, the Earth's own Plasmasphere, Fluorescent Lights and welding arcs. For information on various types of plasmas go to: http://www.plasmas.org/basics.htm Plasma illustration: http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/plasma_d.gif For the sake of simplicity here I am going to condense things as much as I can. If you would like more in depth information on some of the things that I am going to mention I would suggest that you download the MIT course on Plasma (it is free to download) from: ( http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html ). MIT is doing some interesting work with plasmas in relation to hot fusion reactors. When a plasma is created between two metallic conductors via an electrical arc structres can form within the arc which are called plasma tubes. These tubes are created due to the way that the electrons and ions in the plasma interact with and are moved by the electromagnetic fields within the plasma. In the following illustrations you can see how charged particles move in a plasma and how they form "tubes". Figure 1: In this illustration you see particles forming their looping, vortex paths. http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/Figure1.bmp Figure 2: In this drawing you see the looping orbit of charged particles forming a tube around a magnetic field. http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/Figure2.bmp Figure 3: In this drawing you are introduced to Charge Separation within the plasma tubes. http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/Figures3.bmp Charge Separation is very interesting for the purpose of this paper. What happens is that the oppositely charged particles within a plasma tend to move to opposite sides of the plasma tube creating a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. Remember that this is true even though the overall plasma itself is still electrically neutral because there are an equal number of positively and negatively charged particles involved. In the next illustration you see two metal electrodes with an electrical arc between them. Note that the charged particles in this plasma arc are separated to opposite sides of the plasma. Figure 4 http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/Figure4.bmp If we were to create this electrical under water, or under water that contains an electrolyte an interesting potential seems to present itself. Figure 5 http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/Figure5.bmp The positive and negative ions in the water should be expected to be attracted to the side of the plasma tube which is charged oppositely to thier own charge. Figure 6 http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/Figure6.bmp In this last illustration we see that, once the oppositely charged ions are attracted to the sides of the plasma tube the potential exists for a transfer of electrons to take place across the plasma itself. The result would be that H2 gas would be formed on one side of the plasma and O2 gas on the other side. Why is this important? The result should be that, if we limit the current in the metal portion of the circuit,through the electrodes, that a plasma will still be formed with less energy consumed and that a second electrochemical current will be able to flow across the plasma. This second current could potentially be much larger than the electrical current which is being used to form the plasma. It would also allow more H2 to be produced overall than would be predicted based on the current through the electrodes and this has been noted by researchers who are trying to produce H2 with a plasma arc. I believe this "plasma transistor"model explains the source of that "excess" H2 within the realm of accepted science. ----------Advertisement------------------------------------------------------------------ E!

However, there's also a different kind of energy - referred to as Higher, or Raised, Energy - and this is the kind of energy, existing as a Field, which will likely be used for Field Propulsion. This kind of energy is produced when two different energy waves overlap, from the same direction, from opposing directions, or from some angle. When the energy which makes up the Field is in the visible spectrum, the Field Energy is noticably different than regular light in its appearance. This is something which allows the various effects to be characterised. A picture showing some of these effects is at: http://www.freewebs.com/attatchments/artifacts.htm Click on the image for an enlarged view and consider the assembly in the upper left part of the picture. It consists of a large spherical ornament positioned above the bottom of an aluminum can, with a couple of adjacent resmods. (Resmod is short for RESonant MODulus and this type of object is externally resonant, with a high Q.) The ornament is supported by the same type of grid tube used in the resmods, with the tube also supporting an "F" electrode made from copper foil with a dielectric glue on the inner surface. ("F" stands for Field, but it also referrs to the shape of the electrode with opposing plates.) This electrode also has a short horizontal flange on the right, or closed, side. This flange appears to be smeared out vertically, a photographic artifact which also appears in the orriginal Polaroid image. The picture shows three different types of Field Energy, identifiable by the colors red, blue, and white, with the red and blue being mixed and appearing as purple. The Field Energy is electro-optical, which means that it can be conducted as well as focused or radiated, so electro-optical energy components don't have to be physically connected. The source of the Energy is the camera's flash tube. The flash stays on for an interval which allows light from the reflector to be compared with more light which the tube gives off an instant later, towards the direction of the assembly, rather than the reflector. The reflection, along with the time delay, allows the two light beams - one reflected and one not - to combine out of phase, producing a Field potential. This Field potential becomes visible when it interacts with the resmod detectors. When the two beams are out of phase by 180 degrees the combined Field looks blue. When the phase delay is 90 degrees the combined Field looks red. And when all phase shift angles are added together the combined Field looks white. (The random phases are why the tops of clouds look white.) With the flash tube source, the phase shifts are random, so a little of each of these colors are produced in this manner, but the Field Energy components of the photo flash's light are discontinuous. Also, the Field Energy effects with this assembly, including the opacity, are minimal when only one resmod is used, so the Field coherence, and color seperation, occurs in the assembly itself. The reverse symetry relationship of the two resmod conductors allows the Higher Energy to seperate from the normal light which can only radiate. But an "L" shaped resmod assembly can also be useful, and should recieve further consideration, since the exciting energy is available in the background. Still, the double reflection in the spherical gradient produces the white on its own. One resmod is coplanar with the "F" electrode, which allows the resmod's axial projection to change directions. The power level of the Field Energy shown in the picture is low, but there's still a noticable interaction between the Field Energy and normal light reflected from the base board. This is why a round spot of white paint on the board looks triangular, at the left hand edge of the Field. The Field is weak enough that the background light can partially split the edge of the Field, but not very far in. This illustrates that Field Energy is opaque and suggests that this kind of energy can be used as a shield against electromagnetic radiation, including lasers and microwaves. Of equal importance is the way that the Field is projected out of the "F" channel, something which is caused by a property of the red energy which causes it to rotate around its own axis as it propagates. This causes the leading edge to stretch out beyond the distance normal light would travel in the same time. The red color is indicative of the length of the propagation's spiral, rather than the exact frequency which is propagating. This stretch out in itself doesn't establish a super luminal capability of mass which interacts with the fields, but such a capability may exist. The red energy also interacts with the blue energy, which has a quasi static property, which means that the blue energy has rotational eddies throughout the Field, perpendicular to the Field's plane. This quasi static property enables blue Field Energy to also interact with charged particles, causing them to accelerate, an effect which can be seen by placing a bent safety pin in a microwave oven, since the bidirectional Field in the oven is equivalent to blue energy, although at a much lower frequency, and the charge which builds up on the metal causes it to sputter off at the point. With a spark and a flame (from a chunck of cigarette pushed onto the safety pin), the plasmoid extends upwards in the micro wave oven, rolling perpendicular to the field. While it is rising, the lengthwise rolling is equivalent to a curl. Without the spark, normal flame which is supplied over an area will stretch out and go upwards really fast in pulses at random areas of the Field, although the nearby red energy's charge may be a required component and the flame looks dimmer than normal. Since the red pulls the blue out of the "F" channel, it can be taken that a Higher Energy Field will also block, attenuate, or extract coherent Field Energy. (The red plasmoid also pulls the quasi static energy out of a tubular electrode, even though the blue spark alone will not leave the tube.) Field Energy can also be produced with electrical sparks, with the right circuitry. As an example, when DC from a High Voltage capacitor collides head on with AC from a High Voltage transformer, the resultant spark puffs way up, turns milky blue, and becomes completely opaque throughout the discharge time of the capacitor's pulse through its non magnetic timing inductor. So the Radar Men might not be happy to see this kind of absorber shield used as a cloak. The same spark turns pure white when shocked through a super sonic nozzel such as a foil less electrode. (The effect looks exactly the same as NASA's new Scramjet.) And the same spark will turn bright red, and opaque, when a small amount of hydrocarbon is added, such as the oil in inscence smoke, possibly because the Polar mass of the plasmoid yields a phase shift, but this may be a spectral effect. It seems likely that projecting a chemically red spark through the Field Energy of a blue spark will accelerate the red spark's plasmoid mass. If it does (in the next experiment), this will allow the specific impulse of a chemical rocket to be increased by a factor of 100, a thousand, or maybe more. A rocket which will burn at full throttle for eight hundred minutes will allow a space ship returning to the earth to maintain a powered decent, and will provide quick access to the asteroids, Mars and the outter planets and ice crystals. So everyone can spend an hour and a half each way getting to work every day. And it's always possible that the chemical plasmoid can be left out, with momentum generation or squelching being due to relativistic effects of a color gradient from one side of a particle to the other, when the colors are regarded as pulsations of the right kind of energy. This might simulate the relativistic shrink gradient associated with normal inertia, due to doppler effects against the active vacuum. Ether, in its lighter form, is a type of multidirectional Higher Energy so the opaque spark and the spark-like light may provide an ether barrier, blocking the continuity of the local ether and the rebirth of a propagating wave. (The heavier ether is a virtual particle flux recognizable as the Chemical ether; with the right detector, the concentration of a specific element is independent of the overall flux density.) And perhaps an ether paddle component can be rigged up. With that, engineering factors might be the only limit to the thrust. Using Near Field effects, vacuum dielectric interactions with the Higher Energy would be coupled to the supporting mechanically activated antenna.
