Canadian John Hutchison might be onto something. A few things, actually.
Hutchison seems to have discovered a method for producing unique
batteries using common minerals. This low-key tinkerer and inventor
modestly suggests that his innovative batteries are "basically the
secret to the energy crisis, using ordinary non-toxic materials that
will interface with zero-point energy."(1) The batteries are developed
by his so-called "shake and bake" method, in which Hutchison mixes
materials and shakes and bakes them into a composition whose crystalline
lattices are thought to grab zero-point energy.
According to Hutchison, it is simply a matter of taking the transistor
technology of the past and tweaking it into an invention for the future.
This native of Vancouver is a self-taught scientist who reports having
experimented with Tesla Coils in his boyhood. Hutchison developed a
medical problem while in his twenties that resulted in a small
disability pension, leaving him a great deal of time to educate himself
and begin his own energy experiments with equipment that he built from
scrap. Years passed quietly for him until 1979, when something happened
that would change his life. Upon starting up an array of high-voltage
equipment, he was struck in the shoulder by a piece of metal that
appeared to be levitating. (2) He believes that his Tesla coils,
electrostatic generator, and other equipment created a complex
electromagnetic field, which caused unusual phenomena usually associated
with unexplained "poltergeist"-like activity. (3) This was how he
discovered the "Hutchison Effect," of which object levitation was only
the beginning.
In subsequent experiments with his equipment, "fires started in unlikely
places around the building; a mirror smashed at a distance of 80 feet
away; metal distorted and broke; water spontaneously swirled in
containers; lights appeared in the air and then vanished; metal became
white-hot but did not burn any surrounding materials; and so on." These
effects reportedly occur only about 1% of the time "and one can wait for
days before anything happens." Nevertheless, they present mind-boggling
scientific implications that we may not understand all there is to know
about electromagnetism and thermodynamics. (4)
These results, as unbelievable as they may seem, have "been well
documented both on film and videotape, and [have] been witnessed many
times by numerous credentialed scientists and engineers." Hutchison
states that he has presented at least 750 demonstrations of levitations,
all generated by the Hutchison Effect. He even has video showing
metallurgical samples falling apart, as well as the transmutation of
wood impregnated into metals. His findings have been televised in the
US, Japan, and Canada, and have piqued interest from electrical
engineering and aircraft companies, Los Alamos National Lab, and the
military. (5) Individual researchers George Hathaway, Richard Hull, and
Ken Shoulders have independently replicated aspects of the Hutchison
Effect.
Because metals have been altered with energy calculated to be 1,000 to
10,000 times that of the energy applied, "it is surmised by some
researchers that what Hutchison has done is tap into the Zero Point
Energy."(6) A 15-amp, 60-Hz, 110-volt power supply is all that is used
to levitate and "carry" heavy metal objects. The effect even "rips
half-inch-square steel bars apart and actually shreds the shattered
ends.[Hutchison] wonders if somehow the fabric of space-time is actually
breached. As he puts it: 'The idea is to excite the surface skin of the
masses and their atoms to create an unstable space-time situation. This
might allow the fields from the Tesla coils and RF-generation equipment
to lock up in a local space-time situation. My thought is that now a
small amount of energy is released from the vast reservoir in space-time
at the sub-atomic level to create a disruptive or movement effect.'"
With properly adjusted equipment, he claims that the "cronons and
gravitons" generated by his technology can even "cause buildings to
disappear."
With a minimal power supply and erratically arranged apparatus,
Hutchison "obtained most of the best examples of objects levitating."
Not only has energy been tapped to lift and hold objects in place,
propulsion is also an effect. He has observed an object accelerate up to
speeds of 132 meters per second - the applications of which might
attract NASA: "A shield could be placed behind a spacecraft and the
Hutchison Effect used to accelerate it."
John Hutchison's new site
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Thinktank/8863/main.html
is part of the Boundaries of Science Web Ring, a continuous circular
connection between sites with content that explore the boundaries of
science. The opening page of Hutchison's site includes a summary page
for each member of the web ring. The Hutchison web page includes
research updates as well as links to accounts of Hutchison experiments
written by observers. Other interesting Links available at the site
include Mark Solis, Free Energy Links to the Institute of New Energy
along with other Physics and relevant alternative energy information.
For those curious about the technology behind the Hutchison Effect, the
inventor states that it is fairly simple, based on solid-state physics
from old ham operator magazines. According to Hutchison, it is simply a
matter of taking the transistor technology of the past and tweaking it
into an invention for the future.
His first attempt to develop the Hutchison Effect commercially came from
an investment by a Vancouver businessman who had heard about it. The
investor brought in a consulting engineer to help develop an application
for it. In spite of successful demonstrations to potential customers,
the enterprise never got off the ground and Hutchison abandoned the
endeavor in 1986. Scientists in both Germany and the United States ran
tests on his work until 1989, but only the Germans showed continued
interest at the time. In 1989 Hutchison claims that the Canadian
government was going to force him to join the military in order to do
"psychotronic" research for them. In order to avoid working for the
Canadian military, Hutchison applied to immigrate to Germany. At that
time funds were made available by Austria and Germany to fly Hutchison
and his laboratory equipment to Europe. When word escaped that Hutchison
was taking his technology out of the country, he states that certain
influential private citizens convinced the Canadian government to seize
the shipping containers that held his equipment.
The government promptly confiscated his lab under the pretense that the
equipment was contaminated with PCBs and uranium. Hutchison claims that
the whole scenario is on record with Boeing Aerospace in Seattle, but
also adds that his file has been classified by the government despite
his threats of media exposure and legal action. Hutchison mentions that
"the story is a bit of a spy novel" since Washington, D.C., was
purportedly involved. Although Hutchison did travel to Germany, he lost
most of his equipment because of Canadian government charges that he was
exporting sensitive technology and might even be under suspicion of
treason. In Germany he failed to generate financial support for his
research and returned to Vancouver financially depleted. In the
following years he was forced to sell off much of his other equipment to
meet expenses.
Author Jeanne Manning reports a demonstration and said that it ran a
small motor for months on end.
A turning point came, however, when a book was published in Japan
featuring his work. This book and the subsequent interest in the
Hutchison Effect led to a speaking tour in Japan. Hiroshi Yamabe, a
Tesla disciple and lecturer in Japan, offered to set up a laboratory for
Hutchison. The winter before his 1995 Japanese tour, he had built a
machine called the Hutchison Converter based on Tesla's "resonance
principle."(7) In the last century, Nikola Tesla demonstrated this
principle by sending pulses of electricity into his coils in such a way
that the energy level continually increased due to resonance created by
the pulsation. Hutchison used crystals of barium titanate, a material
that can capture the pulses of certain radio frequencies. Author Jeanne
Manning reports that she witnessed a demonstration of the Hutchison
Converter and said that it ran a small motor without batteries or fuel
and without any connection to an electrical outlet for months on end.
For his 1995 Japanese speaking tour, Hutchison built a smaller, more
portable converter that he demonstrated in front of an audience of 500
in Hiroshima.
The inventor is currently working on a process he calls "Dirt Cheap"
because the materials include common stones. In this process Hutchison
"cooks" ordinary stones with a combination of chemicals that he does not
wish to reveal. Before the mixture cools and solidifies, he adds
specially treated posts to draw energy from the crystal-like substance.
He has not patented the Dirt Cheap process, citing the difficulty that
other new energy inventors have faced after applying for a patent. For
now he funds his research by the manufacture and sale of small miniature
flying saucers that he states are powered by space energy and are
marketed as children's toys. In this way he tries to keep space energy
in the minds of the public.
Hutchison claims that the potential to tap free energy is tremendous. He
envisions refrigerator-sized boxes full of his non-toxic batteries
powering entire homes. His cells are "cheap to make and basically
derived from nature's own minerals with no poisons or toxins." By
setting up a series of his inexpensive cylindrical batteries working in
harmony, Hutchison claims that in theory, the power system could
generate up to 110 to 130 volts and apparently work forever. He does
caution that tapping too much zero-point energy can be dangerous and
that precautions should be taken. He warns, "If you draw too much from
the electro-magnetic jitter of zero point energy, you'll get a minor
meltdown. I've had to clean this area up once because of this."
In a letter to the Institute for New Energy Hutchison continues to claim
levitation results from the Hutchison Effect: "The 1997-1998 results
show slight movement of objects within 6 to 12 feet from the equipment
with tiny levitation of common articles. A tennis ball levitated to 2
inches for 3 seconds."(8) Even more recently, thanks to a Vancouver ship
salvage yard, Hutchison will have new electronic equipment and parts to
run a research lab. Once it is up and running he plans to provide
progress reports, especially since several countries - the US, Japan,
Canada, Britain, Western Europe, and Australia - are following his
progress.
John Hutchison hopes that someday his batteries, the Hutchison Effect,
his converter, or the Dirt Cheap process will be "used for peaceful
purposes."
