If magnet motors work, then it is most likely because they tap some kind of magnetic field in a manner similar to how a wind turbine harnesses unseen wind energy.
Likewise, energy from the vacuum is -- from the vacuum, not from nowhere. There are a lot of sources of energy, there for the taking.
What I find annoying is how the scientific community is so slow to think outside the box of what is "accepted."
Look at how long it took science to embrace the Wright Brothers. Even after their first demonstrations, it took years to overcome the "man cannot fly" mind-set.
It includes solar, wind, tide, or any source of energy free for the taking, acknowledging that the devices that harness these are not free, and pointing out that the object is to go for clean, affordable, reliable solutions.

Getting a degree online versus going to a campus for the immersed program, is kind of like getting married without then moving in with your partner.
There is something about being on campus, with other students, seeing the professors eye to eye, fitting everything into your schedule somehow, and deciding what you going to not do when the platter is too full.
That is part of the education, which an online degree cannot touch.
I think that is why people don't take such degrees very seriously, and if anything consider it corny and unprofessional.
Just as you would consider it odd that someone would get married and not then live together. It kind of comes with the package.
Don't be so quick to listen to the naysayers. Please note that while there were critical comments, there were also several from the Slashdot crowd who are informed and who did not dismiss the concept. I've appended some of those comments to the article.
I would invite you to contact Eric Lerner and see if he would be willing to open source his technology in exchange for the support of the open source friendly crew of the planet, who could rally the best they could to come up with the $2 mil he needs.
Think of all the maverick scenarios on this planet that have come out victor despite overwhelming odds.
Most of the Slashdot crew seem to not buy into the concept that there are "powers that be" that have overwhelming means of resisting anything that threatens their control over the game.
It should be no surprise at all that a technology like this would not be received warmly by the powers that be.
But the grassroots, groundswell can rise up against their oppression, and finally bring clean, affordable energy to the planet.
Don't let the bullies bully you down. Stay the course.
I invite you to step up to the plate and make good on the proposal you courageiously set forth here today.
While he might not have "mainstream" credentials comparable to what you might be used to seeing with mainstream science, you must admit that his credentials are impressive -- and brave. He is willing to go outside the box, but has a strong scientific background. Works in the patent office. Recently
The man is both smart and brave -- a combination rare in academia.
By the way, I have met Jackie, his wife, on a couple of occasions, and must say that she is one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met. She's in the top 1% of the bell curve when it comes to human decency. A tribute to Tom, that such a person would support him as a teammate.
I will tell you that Slashdot sat on this submission for about 2.5 days before going with it. There was obviously some debate and consideration going on behind scenes before they posted it here. It wasn't a knee-jerk "gee this sounds cool" situation.
I personally would be very interested to know the kind of dialogue that took place behind the scenes before they decided to go ahead and publish it.
Tom responded saying, "Our turbine spacing on the four turbine platform is amply adequate to avoid wake problems. Our patent covers single turbine platforms as well as multi-turbine platforms."
He doesn't seem to think that wake is a problem for shortly spaced turbines. I disagree.
He sent me an image of two rows of 9-10 turbines on one platform that resembled a fat aircraft carier. The turbines are less than 1D apart. The image assumes that the wind is blowing in one direction. It assumes the whole craft would move to face the wind. I don't want to be too hard on him, but it seems that he was having fun with some image program without thought for the physics involved.
He's a dreamer, with no real world experience in the field. The Norsk Hydro crew, on the other hand, has vast experience, and has designed something far more simple.
The world needs both the dreamers and the realists.
The Norsk Hydro floating design has one turbine per post, no batteries, no hydrogen. It is basically a simplified version of Lee's design. (By the way, Lee sent me an email saying that the Norsk design impinges on his pending patent. I encouraged him to seek for cooperation rather than litigation.)
It seems to me that the wake issue, and 6D separation factor is the weak point of Lee's design. Too inefficient to build a platform that would enable a saparation of 6D.
Then again, mabye a combo of Lee and Norsk would be the ideal. For every 6 pillars, individually moored, you could have one floating H-gen / battery platform.
Thanks for pointing out the MSNBC story, based on the Norsk Hydro press release.
I've publish a version here:
Wind power project floating out to North Sea - Norwegian utility envisions a floating 660-foot-tall tower, tethered to sea floor, supporting 95-foot-long blades. Scaled-down 3 MW demo with 14-foot' blades expected in 2007. If the concept works, Norsk Hydro envisions parks of perhaps 200 windmills, in waters 700-2,200 feet deep. (OSEN; Nov. 3, 2005)

I guess this guy has no idea what a tornado is. Hurricanes have tornados. At 250 mph a rotating column of air is going to bring a vacuum bottle pretty close to the ground from up in the rare areas of space. In addition it is backed by amperages of current and charged particles that over drive his limits. (Bute force by 10 to 14 orders of magnitude over his man made particle accelerators - The vacuum quality doesn't have to be very good here.) There is a lot more here when the high energy plasma from space hits the bottle due to magnetic effects and CMEs.
Cold Fusion which he seems to neglect indicates plenty of options for fusion. In addition a lighting blast of say 50,000 amperes that is 300 miles long has plenty of electron volts to drive this. NASA has tons of high altitude photos that back this up. The electron voltage here stacks right past any of the limits by many orders of magnitude. It even exceeds the center of the sun limits.
I personally have witnessed "Ball Lightning" that was nearly 20 feet across in a severe storm. It was frightening to say the least. From a sound sleep I was awakened by a lightning bolt that just didn't turn off. It hit and then stayed on bright. I got up and looked out the window of my house to watch it for about 15 seconds. (Duration 30 seconds or so on the event) It was something. Rest assured it was a fusion event. Torndoes appear to house such events.
NASA has pretty well mapped this out and you put up a ESA graphic that matches to this. When I wrote I assumed that it was much less mapped out than has recently happened.
Well the article he sites may have some fact behind it, but is definitely not what was observed here. ( I appreciate the electromagnetic side of the events a great deal) The radiation from this storm in the second 1974 event was brighter than noon day sun and occurred at 11pm. It was observed by thousands of people. It was terrifying to many of these people. The earlier event may have been influenced some by sunlight as it was late afternoon but the angles are wrong. The colors observed are most frequently green but I have also seen yellow, blue and reddish late at night.
One event not related to the 1974 events, which I saw I was driving down the road and saw a strong lightning strike associated with a tornadic event. The sky air turned green. This is a sustained glow. I would suspect that the green is probably what gets out of the cloud with the more intense stuff buried in the cloud. This is very bright, blindingly bright and not some soft green as indicated by the author of the article. Also Tornado research tends to be full of guys who refute the eyewitnesses because they are so sure the people didn't see what they saw. I said this stuff gets pretty strange. I have also observed very large ball lightning quite close up. It is spectacular and will shake one up. (In many ways)
The reason I report it to be Cerenkov radiation is, it looks like it. It is like the bright eerie glow from a radiation cooling pond. I have witnessed the more blue version of this associated with an intense ball lighting strike. It is pretty scary. The probability here is that the electromagnetic discharges here are causing fusion or transmutation of elements and a particle discharge. I would suspect that we are seeing a sustained version of events similar to cold fusion in some cases. Of course with many patients in the field of cold fusion existing and a lot of research going on, "It still doesn't exist." (Sorry for being a bit terse but does exist) All such events do have strong electromagnetic events associated with them. This is why you get an EMP pulse from an atomic bomb. Tornadoes have been known for decades to be very strong Microwave transmitters on TV Channel 2. I would assume on other frequencies as well. The green or other colors is a typical doubling down or fluorescence process seen in optics. This is where you use a higher frequency to drive a lower one. This is also related to the production of C14 from N14 http://www.beckwithelectric.com/keeping-current/kc -31.html and other sources will note it as well.
I have not proposed that this is any new physics. It isn't. It is absolutely simple physics associated with well known principals. The problem is that people see it as something new. Van De Graff Generators are not new. They are the very classical base of nuclear physics research. Ionization of water is not new. (not pH) People tend to think it isn't there. You can see it when you wash a car and see the beads of water skimming over the surface not joining up with the already wet surface. There is all sorts of data coming in. The "Red Sprites" and "Blue Jets" are not new physics, NASA just recently observed them. Pilots had been told for years that they were crazy when they reported them. In the 1930's to the present when pilots reported strange glows associated with thunderstorms, suddenly the best educated and professional men, were relegated to the list of nuts and denigrated. It took NASA filming this and even in the case of the 1974 tornado event, it was home movies by these government types before glows associated with these storms could be accepted to exist. Even then it was heckled. It doesn't surprise me the hecklers
To the critics of my article that made their comments in Slashdot's site, I say thanks for your attention. Maybe some of you will get brave and try to prove me wrong rather than just make argument. When you do, somewhere on the trail, we may come to more fully understand these events. What must be understood is just how poorly these events are understood. This may seem strange for the pasting some of you shot at me, but I am most interested in good science. Good science is more interested in fact than the politically correct opinions of today. That means you say thanks for criticism....
To those who might have noted a bit more and been supportive, thanks. But keep on looking at reality. What I say doesn't matter except if it gets people thinking. Do remember I didn't attempt to write a technical document. It was more like a news report.
For those who think I don't know what is going on regards these storms, I am so far into the edge of understanding them, I probably do sound crazy. This comes from the point of view of having observed this stuff for a long time. My observations of tornados and their associated phenomena extend from the 1960's. It grew more intense and deliberate in the early 1970's. Early on when I heard strange stories from tornado events, I thought these people were crazy. After actually observing them myself, I have concluded that most reports are probably less crazy than the reality. The physics is pretty strange. Hurricanes are very much related to this because tornados generally occur associated with continental storms, that are minus the name "Hurricanes" very much the same type of storm. Hurricanes also contain lots of tornados. It is all one set of physics.
When the massive outbreak of April 3 of 1974 occurred I was watching and taking notes. I was there! In the two days prior to this outbreak, the wind blew warm and strong at up to 50 mph from the south, southwest. It had rained early on April 1 and the ground was soaked across the eastern USA with something close to 3 inches of rain in many areas. There was some tornado activity on the 1^st . As the evening of the 3^rd drew on tornado warnings were followed by massive tornados. I witnessed from a distance 2 of these super cell storms for about 45 minutes total. My location gave me an exceptional view most of the time. At that time I witnessed large volumes of air glowing with Cerenkov radiation. (Ref) These were several cubic miles in volume. This is referenced in the movie "Twister" where they talk about "going green." The events are related. The technical advisors from NASA (6 persons) to the movie were witnesses of the same event. I also took notes. K. Vonnegut (Troy NY) published these notes in a scientific report on the event.
Later that evening as another series of thunderstorms passed through, the people without power knew to evacuate as tornados arrived, because "The air turned green." The NASA movie advisors were witnesses of this latter event.
This event led me to look into the physics at a very deep level. What I found was most interesting. The predecessor to the US Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service had published their annual report in 1910. It just happened to be in the local Public Library. I doubt the book even exists any more. In that report a discussion of drought, and soil erosion by various means led to a section on rain impact erosion and similar topics. It was noted in the report that the wind blowing over wetland at over 12.5 mph would aspirate microscopic droplets of water out of the land. These droplets were highly charged on their surfaces at the maximum for water. This is the belt o
The 'Tornado in a can' is a funnel-shape device that takes rotating air at the top, and pulverizes whatever is put into it by the time it comes out the bottom.
Not so. Those links to energy news sites were posted on a directory at wikinews under/Energy/
That's not spam, it's total relevanct.
You might not agree with the science being promoted by some of the news sources, but the fact is the links submitted were energy news links.
The "repeatedly posted" was a matter of multiple edits the same/Energy/ directory to clean up the listing and add pertinent energy news links.
Some of you are so cranky you will call anything "spam" if it even veers 1% outside of your worldview box.
Just how smart are we anyway? Present scientific models do not fully comprehend vortex phenomena such as tornadoes and hurricanes -- or smaller-scale manifestations such as the "tornado in a can" pulverizer.
Don't throw out radically new idea too quickly. Our present models are not serving us in this area, so why not explore a new idea and see where it takes you?
Paul Noel (article author) is a genius, seldom appreciated by his peers -- true of most truly brilliant people (e.g. Tesla).
Muchow said that his inspiration and model in forming the company was the laptop computer, with its plug-and-play versatility of components, from the chips to the hardware and the peripherals. The open architecture enables a mixing and matching of components to suit the individual user so that they don't have more than they need, and they can just add on what they might be missing.
Apply that now to renewable energy systems. That is what SkyBuilt is all about, and has been tackling since 2002 when they started. That is the essence of the 140 claims they have filed in their patent applications.
They want to be the Dell of renewable energy systems.
"We are the world's first plug-and-play, open architecture, mobile renewable power system," said Muchow.
Call them up, tell them your needs, and they pull together a package based on their wide experience and network of experts that they can call upon to make an ideal system, providing the highest value, at the lowest price possible.
Paul Noel wrote an excellent article talking about how this Grand Challenge could now spur a race to real "auto" mobiles -- vehicles that drive by themselves, similar to the Internet revolution, which DARPA also launched. He then poses the question: Just think what could happen if the next Grand Challenge were in the area of energy development technologies!
My dad, David W. Allan, worked with the Atomic clock at NIST until 1992 when he retired. The "Allan Variance" is an algorithm at the heart of international time-keeping.
He has continued his research on a tangent subject of a new unified field theory. He is in process of implementing some of his theories by way of ultra-precision positioning. You might find his theory worth review. AllansTIME.com
He also has passion in the subject of health. His solar home is likewise a hallmark of his forward thinking. http://allanstime.com/SolarHome/

Jimbo,
Considering the high calibur of your encyclopedia generally speaking, I am disapointed that you shun alternative energy technologies. You will not allow such topics as magnetic motors, gravity motors, etc, even though there is a growing body of claims and even evidence. It seems quite cowardly to not tackle these topics just because they are sometimes laughed at by the mainstream. Why will you not allow such bleeding edge topics to be addressed, identified as such?

Later that evening as another series of thunderstorms passed through, the people without power knew to evacuate as tornados arrived, because "The air turned green." The NASA movie advisors were witnesses of this latter event.
This event led me to look into the physics at a very deep level. What I found was most interesting. The predecessor to the US Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service had published their annual report in 1910. It just happened to be in the local Public Library. I doubt the book even exists any more. In that report a discussion of drought, and soil erosion by various means led to a section on rain impact erosion and similar topics. It was noted in the report that the wind blowing over wetland at over 12.5 mph would aspirate microscopic droplets of water out of the land. These droplets were highly charged on their surfaces at the maximum for water. This is the belt o
The 'Tornado in a can' is a funnel-shape device that takes rotating air at the top, and pulverizes whatever is put into it by the time it comes out the bottom.

Here's the catch, the amount of energy put in does not compute to the extent of pulverizing that takes place.
There is something about the vortex that present science does not comprehend.
Not so. Those links to energy news sites were posted on a directory at wikinews under /Energy/
That's not spam, it's total relevanct.
You might not agree with the science being promoted by some of the news sources, but the fact is the links submitted were energy news links.
The "repeatedly posted" was a matter of multiple edits the same /Energy/ directory to clean up the listing and add pertinent energy news links.
Some of you are so cranky you will call anything "spam" if it even veers 1% outside of your worldview box.
Okay guys, let's not be so quick to slam this.

Just how smart are we anyway? Present scientific models do not fully comprehend vortex phenomena such as tornadoes and hurricanes -- or smaller-scale manifestations such as the "tornado in a can" pulverizer.

Don't throw out radically new idea too quickly. Our present models are not serving us in this area, so why not explore a new idea and see where it takes you?
Paul Noel (article author) is a genius, seldom appreciated by his peers -- true of most truly brilliant people (e.g. Tesla).
I did an exclusive interview with SkyBuilt President & CEO, Dave Muchow. The story is posted here: http://pesn.com/2005/10/20/9600192_SkyBuilt_Plop_a nd_Go/
Here is an excerpt:
Muchow said that his inspiration and model in forming the company was the laptop computer, with its plug-and-play versatility of components, from the chips to the hardware and the peripherals. The open architecture enables a mixing and matching of components to suit the individual user so that they don't have more than they need, and they can just add on what they might be missing.
Apply that now to renewable energy systems. That is what SkyBuilt is all about, and has been tackling since 2002 when they started. That is the essence of the 140 claims they have filed in their patent applications.
They want to be the Dell of renewable energy systems.
"We are the world's first plug-and-play, open architecture, mobile renewable power system," said Muchow.
Call them up, tell them your needs, and they pull together a package based on their wide experience and network of experts that they can call upon to make an ideal system, providing the highest value, at the lowest price possible.
Paul Noel wrote an excellent article talking about how this Grand Challenge could now spur a race to real "auto" mobiles -- vehicles that drive by themselves, similar to the Internet revolution, which DARPA also launched. He then poses the question: Just think what could happen if the next Grand Challenge were in the area of energy development technologies!
Letter to the Editor at PESN reviews recent coverage on Coast to Coast AM regarding the down sides of Power Grid Internet.
Has nothing to do with "advertising." PESN is a non-profit and is reporting on cutting edge energy technologies.
My dad, David W. Allan, worked with the Atomic clock at NIST until 1992 when he retired. The "Allan Variance" is an algorithm at the heart of international time-keeping.
He has continued his research on a tangent subject of a new unified field theory. He is in process of implementing some of his theories by way of ultra-precision positioning. You might find his theory worth review. AllansTIME.com
He also has passion in the subject of health. His solar home is likewise a hallmark of his forward thinking. http://allanstime.com/SolarHome/
Because this development was featured in prestigious Nature, the world is taking notice. An Associate Press story is receiving widespread coverage by mainstream news organizations. Google News is showing major coverage by a wide range of news organizations worldwide. http://pesn.com/2005/04/28/6900088_UCLA_Cold_Fusio n/

Jimbo, Considering the high calibur of your encyclopedia generally speaking, I am disapointed that you shun alternative energy technologies. You will not allow such topics as magnetic motors, gravity motors, etc, even though there is a growing body of claims and even evidence. It seems quite cowardly to not tackle these topics just because they are sometimes laughed at by the mainstream. Why will you not allow such bleeding edge topics to be addressed, identified as such?
