The video linked here shows experimental proof of the existence of a magnetic vortex. The direction of rotation changes when magnetic polarity is reversed.

Usually, we see magnetic field lines shown as bending straight back from one end of the magnet to the other. Correctly, what should be shown is magnetic lines of force in a vortex configuration, with flow spiraling into the magnet (or out of it) in a right-hand or left-hand turning motion, depending on the magnetic polarity.

It appears to me that the separation of magnetic poles, and the tension that is created by this stable distancing of two opposing poles, creates rotation which, incidentally, is the seed of all matter.

The work was done by Pedro Alexandre Lino Silva, a Portuguese free energy researcher. His site is http://linoavac.no.sapo.pt/

As we realize that nuclear energy is fraught with dangers difficult to reliably predict and almost impossible to control, that carbon based energy progressively pollutes our world and that it is difficult to scale existing alternatives to levels of production needed to satisfy our appetites for energy, we tend to overlook some fundamental physics that might help us realize the dream of clean, abundant energy.

Engineer Tom Bearden says - a bit like Viktor Schauberger did more than half a century ago on the subject of physical motion - that we are missing some important basics.

Tom Bearden with John Bedini

Bearden says Tesla already showed the way and he explains what we should be looking for, in a recent missive he sent to the US Department of Energy. Question is - will they listen?

I hope Bearden's message may help us shake loose from a substantially immobile position that is keeping research from looking in the right direction. As an example of real, ongoing research that does look in the right direction, of course without any official funding, here is what's going on in the Philippines. Inventor Ismael Aviso is looking beyond established EM theory as he runs an AC motor on DC - a feat we difficulty explaining. Aviso Runs AC Motor on DC and Aether

But let's see what Bearden has to say.

The rigorous technical cause of the energy crisis was and is the DELIBERATE SYMMETRIZATION of the Heaviside vector equations in 1892 -- by Lorentz as elicited by the infamous J. P. Morgan -- and the continued use of these modified Heaviside vector equations which are a horribly mutilated and mangled tiny version of Maxwell's actual theory -- and indeed even of Heaviside's original vector subset of Maxwell's theory.

Let me put it this way: For a total of 200 million dollars and three years time, the world energy crisis can be solved forever. The necessary team of physicists and scientists to do this is already forming here in Huntsville, Alabama and is seeking the funding to do it. I'm fervently praying that they succeed in attaining the necessary funding and then get on with this task which has so desperately needed doing since 1892.

In 1891 Nikola Tesla -- who gave us AC electric power, the rotating magnetic field that makes modern motors and generators possible, and radio -- had already discovered how to take all the EM energy one wishes directly from the seething "active medium" -- i.e., in modern physics terms, from the active vacuum. He was already briefing technical societies that this could be done at will.

For rigorous proof that Tesla had actually done it with real systems he had already built, Dr. T. W. Barrett did a rigorous quaternion EM analysis on some of Tesla's actual patented circuits that Tesla had in 1891. Dr. Barrett rigorously and mathematically proved that Tesla had indeed done what he said -- take and use real excess EM energy directly from the "active medium" (in today's terminology, from the active modern virtual state vacuum). See T. W. Barrett, "Tesla's Nonlinear Oscillator-Shuttle-Circuit (OSC) Theory," Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie, 16(1), 1991, p. 23-41. Barrett shows that EM expressed in quaternions allows shuttling and storage of potentials in circuits as one wishes, and also allows additional EM functioning of a circuit that a conventional EM analysis cannot reveal. He shows that Tesla's patented circuits did exactly this. So Tesla's special circuits could dissipate power where he wished in his circuit, powering different parts of the circuit independently. [The paper is carried at internet link http://www.cheniere.org/references/TeslaOSC.pdf. ]

Please note that Dr. Barrett is one of the co-founders of modern ultra wideband radar, and he is a higher group symmetry electrodynamicist of world renown.

Quoting Nikola Tesla:

"Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe. This idea is not novel... We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians... 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, in a speech in New York to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1891. Quoted from back cover of his biography, Margaret Cheney, Tesla: Man Out of Time, Simon and Schuster, 2001].

"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].

"We have to evolve means for obtaining energy from stores which are forever inexhaustible, to perfect methods which do not imply consumption and waste of any material whatever. I now feel sure that the realization of that idea is not far off. ...the possibilities of the development I refer to, namely, that of the operation of engines on any point of the earth by the energy of the medium..." [Nikola Tesla, during an address in 1897 commemorating his installation of AC generators at Niagara Falls, thus giving us the kind of electric power that could be transmitted for long distances down transmission lines.].

"Whatever our resources of primary energy may be in the future, we must, to be rational, obtain it without consumption of any material." [Nikola Tesla, 1900].

A Freak's View of the Uni-verse
by Robert McCoy

It has been well over a decade now since I saw the video. In it a radiantly vibrant silver haired woman marches assertively up to a podium and proceeds to give a slide lecture presentation of her discovery and recording of nothing less than the human energy field - a first in western science. Her voice is powerful and her manner confident - a polished presenter as befits her background as a retired Professor of Physiology at a major university.

She had been studying the musculature of dancers and this led to her investigating what lay behind the 'noise' on her recordings of the electronic traces created by the movement of their muscles. What she discovered was a whole range of minute signals that had never been seen before -- patterns below the pattern -- like some sort of energetic Mandelbrot, they were in the audio range and could be amplified and heard as well as 'seen' by sensitive's, as if they were the 'sound of light'. No wonder no one had ever found them - who would have guessed! 'Light' you can listen to! And furthermore each one of these frequencies corresponded to a discrete characteristic of the human mind and body and each had a distinct waveform and color. So frequency, waveform and color were synonymous with different human characteristics. She was astounded.

But what was it about the shape of the waveforms of this 'light' that contributed to its appearance and function? Was there something behind light that helped give it its distinctive waveform and that was behind the characteristics of mind and body it appeared to represent? Was the waveform a combination of carrier wave and some sort of modulated intent which helped to shape it and give it meaning -- a literal display of function following form? She didn't say.

Her name was Dr. Valerie Hunt and the waveforms she displayed on her slides were what are known as vector waveforms. All known frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum are vector waves. Vector waves travel spatially for long distances and can be displayed and measured. But there are other waves in physics that are known to be 'below' or 'behind' the vector waveforms that we can see and measure and these waveforms are referred to as scalars and they are not so easy to see or measure -- or even describe.

Writing about scalars is like writing about zen. You could spend infinities at it and still be scratching your head in a different place. The language is all square and the 'whole' is a confoundin' dodecahedron. It's a pathetic operation -- has an endlessly futile feel to it like throwing water balloons at the sun. When you sift through the literature you are confronted with a Berlin wall of 'talkin' in tongues' terminology and Rune like formulas, all of which does nothing to clarify the true nature of the phenomena. In fact the opposite happens. A window of opacity opens up before the reader, somehow revealing yet simultaneously obscuring the view. Such is physics.

One thing though that does jump out at the casual investigator is that scalars have been referred to, at times as the information 'behind' a vector waveform and that when a vector waveform is 'collapsed' the scalar information is 'revealed'. This is generally done by running a vector through what is known as a Caduceus coil, a winding twisting pair of wires which wrap the wave back around on itself so as to combine the waveforms in such a way as to negate them, like a homeopathic. But the information left behind is not like a radio signal that was modulated onto a carrier wave -- a small vector riding on the back of a bigger vector -- it's the information that formed the wave itself... and that survives its destruction. A very curious phenomenon.

If scalars were something of an alchemist's dream then perhaps I was headed for a bottomless pit of pi in the sky, but as luck would have it I was eventually pointed in the direction of Tom Bearden, that curmudgeonly critic of all things false, inelegant and wrong headed in the field of electrical engineering. Bearden was a contradiction. On the one hand he was 'country... just folks', a loyal and retired military Cold Warrior with the Chuck Yeager twang, while on the other hand he was an ultimate, sophisticated and devastating Free Thinker! -- an intellectual and philosophical thorn in the side of an entire world view, like an 'edgy' Terence McKenna with an oscilloscope probe. No walls around his words! But he was more than just a pain in the neck to the Phd's in 'Double E'... he had something that not one of them could claim. He had earned a patent, but not just any patent, another boring 'breakthrough' in the long line of incremental engineering. No...his patent was unique, the first ever awarded for a Free Energy device (Uber Unity!). So when he 'spoke'... I listened. And what he spoke 'spoke volumes' to my clouded mind -- gave clarity to what were murky waters -- like Soma for my scratched sunglasses. What he 'spoke' was actually a reply to a question in an interview recorded on-line that he had given almost two decades earlier yet it was more revealing than any of even the more recent descriptions I could find.

Paul E. Rowe, in his recently published book An Attempt to Restore Classical Physics, provides a summation of his life's work.

Rowe is a chemist who found, much to his surprise, that under certain conditions, hydrogen would appear in closed, evacuated tubes during his experiments, seemingly out of nothing. Eliminating all other possibilities, such as contamination or absorbed gases and searching the scientific literature for similar occurrences, he eventually concluded that space itself may be filled with the components of the hydrogen atom, protons and electrons, in free, pre-atomic form.

Assuming an aether composed of densely packed sub-atomic particles would allow us to make sense of things that were part and parcel of classical physics but were abandoned as Einstein's relativity and subsequently quantum interpretations of the universe gained acceptance.

Dr Rowe's book is available from www.iuniverse.com bound in soft cover, hard cover or as an electronic download.

"Based the author's eperiments and extensive searchers in the scientific literature, he concludes that vacuum is not a void, but rather a concentrated matrix of protons and unpaired electrons, possibly Bose-Einstein Condensed (BEC) hydrogen. It may be the aether of classical physics and/or the dark matter, for which Astronomers are searching. The book attempts to explain many observed phenomena on this basis, including: Magnetism, Gravity, Light, Stellar Aberration and Einstein's Twin Paradox"

The book is certainly worth having as it puts all the pieces of Rowe's work together in a neatly arranged way. Yes I know, it isn't a new paradigm, it actually harks back to the days when physics was understandable, when the workings of things could be understood in a clear cause-and-effect way of conceptualization.

Rowe himself summarizes the book with the following words:

The discussion section of this book includes conclusions, I reached, by assuming that the knowable universe and everything in it is permeated with a concentrated matrix of protons and electrons. It attempts to explain various observed phenomena on this basis. The rest of the book tries to show that the assumptions are reasonable. The author expects that many of the conclusions will not be accepted by the scientific community. However, if the universe is permeated with a matrix of particles, as assumed by Huygens and Maxwell, conclusions based on the absence of such a matrix should be reconsidered. Could the proposed matrix be the Aether, Dark Matter and the Higgs Field?

A tetrahedral system for defining co-ordinates in all-space has been proposed by me in 1996 in Tetra Space Co-ordinates. My proposal was roughly time coincident but independent from discussions and mathematical elaborations on 'Quadray coordinates' taking place between David Chako, Tom Ace and Kirby Urner. The outline of their ideas and some links can be found in a Wikipedia article titled Quadray Coordinates.

The idea of basing all-space coordinates on tetrahedral geometry instead of the Cartesian right-angle X-Y-Z axes goes back to Buckminster Fuller. It is conceptually sound but it needs mathematical elaboration to become useful for general application. The maths should be simple and of immediate applicability, which is quite a challenge. We have all been brought up with a system of coordinates that today is in exclusive use, leaving little space for a different idea...

Cartesian coordinates

Today's Cartesian co-ordinates proceed from a point in space, giving origin to three directions or vectors, the X, Y and Z axes, which are arranged in 90-degree co-ordination. Those axes define one of the angles of a cubic section of space. By establishing distances along each one of the three axes, a point in space can be determined. Those co-ordinates work well in a setting of space where a cube or cuboid-shaped volume is to be described, however it gets more complicated when describing all-space, that is, any conceivable direction of the spherical extension we call space. In combination with the subdivision of a complete circle into 360 degrees, where 90 degrees is exactly one quarter, we may, in the Cartesian system, define the space around us with reference to six vectors: up, down, east, west, north, south. Each of those vectors is separated by 90 degrees from its four nearest neighbors, and by 180 degrees from its negative 'twin'.

To describe any direction in space, we must first establish a horizon, cutting the spherical volume in two. Choosing one of the two half-spheres, we can define which way is up (above our horizon) or down (below our horizon). A direction or exact vector can now be defined with reference to the 360 degree subdivision of the circumference of the horizon, and an elevation from horizon towards the vertical expressed in degrees. For increased accuracy, each degree may be subdivided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds.

The system worked rather well as long as we stayed on the surface of the earth, navigating the seas, where the horizon is naturally established by the existing vertical (downward directed) vector of gravitation. It is not optimal however for describing all-space.

So pervasive has the Cartesian coordinate system become in our culture, that its X-Y-Z axes have taken on the meaning of "dimensions". Each one of the right-angle axes of the system is thought to denote a dimension with physical meaning. We are describing our world as "three dimensional".

I suspect that in reality, physical extension (in all directions) should be called a dimension of physical space, and time should probably also have the distinction of being a dimension. There is no compelling reason to see the axes of a coordinate system as inherent in the make up of the physical universe and call them dimensions.

A different geometry of 'dimensions'

In a space setting, tetrahedral co-ordinates have the potential to considerably simplify orientation and navigation. Tetrahedral co-ordinates are based on four principal axes. For the sake of convenient description, the four tetrahedral axes are defined as having their origin at the central point of an imaginary tetrahedron, each one exiting at one of the four vertices. (This is different from my original proposal, where the tetrahedral axes were said to exit at the center of a face. Note that both systems are possible.) Our imaginary tetrahedron may be situated at any preferred point of observation. It may be oriented with reference to an external fixed point, such as a distant star system or a galaxy, or with regard to a vehicle (satellite, space ship) in free space. It may also co-rotate with a sphere such as a planet or a star, for instance the sun.

Without the need for an artificial horizon, we can now define any imaginable direction in space - starting from the point of origin - by reference to three of those tetrahedral axes. Since we are dealing with a natively spherical system of orientation, our old subdivision of the circle into degrees, minutes and seconds is no longer an optimal system for describing the relation of any vector to the three principal tetrahedral axes that delimit the "sector" containing the direction we wish to describe. Note that the entire sphere has been subdivided into four sectors, each one delimited by three of the tetrahedral axes. For the sake of simplicity, each sector may be seen as corresponding to one of the faces of the tetrahedron. In reality however, we are describing points on the surface of a sphere.

Expressed in our present 360-degree-system, the angle between each one of the four tetrahedral axes is an awkward and only approximately accurate 109.4712 degrees. Therefore, in order to fully utilize the potential of this tetrahedral system of all-space orientation, we will need a different subdivision from the 360-degree horizon and the 90-degree "right" angle of the old X-Y-Z Cartesian system.

Two possibilities come to mind...
