More about zero point. Hope this is not getting boring. Just hit delete.
I don't mind.

VACUUM ENERGY: A BREAKTHROUGH?
[heading]
By Andrei Samokhin
The model of a plasma generator which can convert physical-vacuum energy
into electricity has been developed under Prof. Alexander CHERNETSKI at
the Moscow Georgi Plekhanov Institute of the National Economy. Such
generators could lay the groundwork for the future
environmentally-benign power industry.
[text]
Classical physics cannot explain what happens when a plasma discharger
placed in the Chernetski circuit is started: for no apparent reason the
ammeter pointer shows triple strength-of-current increase [sic] and
energy output is several times above input. The plant's efficiency is
much more than 1.
No magic is intended. Additional energy outputs at specific plasma
discharges are fixed in several independent expert reportsby the Lenin
All-Union Institute of Electrical Engineering. This effect has been
checked by different methods.
Whence this mysterious energy?
Self-generating discharge
-------------------------
Prof Chernetski, the author of the first ever study paper on plasma
diagnostics equipment (he has been in this field fro 40 years now) and
20 inventions, never knew what he was probing into specific unstable
plasma states at strong-current discharges could have led to. In the
early 70s, he and fellow-researcher Yuri Galkin worked on a basically
new type of high-frequency plasma generator which could at high power do
without unwieldy energy converters. In one test, they discovered
input-output energy gap. [sic]
"I knew electron drift begins in plasma and sought to deduce a
combination of variables in which fluctuating plasma instability emerged
in discharge,"
Chernetski says. "Gas discharge was meant to serve as a powerful
stimulator of electromagnetic modes and, all of a sudden and in defiance
of the law of
conservation of energy, a strange energy imbalance was produced.
Repeated experiments with different circuits proved energy output to be
always greater than input."
The mysterious discharge stimulating additional energy extraction was
called the "self generating discharge (SGD)". Measurements showed that
part of the
discharge power went back into the network as if two series-connected
electromotive forces were at work.
In a bid to try to explain the experimental data, the researchers
actually
tried to prove the impossible. One of their proofs was very "strong".
The
one-megawatt substation of the Moscow Aviation Institute, where
Chernetski and Galkin were staging an experiment with a powerful plasma
unit, burned out. When the dischrage currents reached criticality,
superstrong current was "born" in the generator and went back into the
network, playing havoc with the safety devices calculated for
short-circuit. Later on, they read in books that earlier in the century
the power plant of prominent Yugoslav electrical engineer Nikola Tesla
caught fire under similar circumstances in the United States.
Chernetski and Galkin were sure that Tesla was making such experiments,
but did not publish the results. They are also sure that vacuum energy
can explain this mysterious effect.
A vacuum-Powered Lamp
The researchers relied on the present-day quantum physics idea of
"zero-point oscillations" in physical vacuum. Such oscillations
signifying the birth and annihilation of virtual pairs -- the particle
and anti-particle, distinguished from the normal elementary particles by
a negligibly short life, a mere 8.10/-21[sic] sec. Emerging below the
zero energy level from "nothing" and returning to "nothing", virtual
particles as if defy the law of conservation of energy. Quantum
electrodynamics explains this paradox through the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle. Under it all the precise particle characteristics cannot be
learnt simulatneously and, therefore, one must not require from nature
"punctual" abidance by the law during such a short time as the life of
virtual pairs. The observer fails to notice anything, while every
virtual pair is more than real, carrying an energy of more than half a
million electron-volts during its lifetime. The potential energy in the
electric bulb vacuum is enough to boil the earth's oceans, Americans
John Wheeler and Richard Feynman have calculated.
Until recently the vacuum energy idea was only a daring hypothesis
bordering on science-fiction. The lamp powered by vacuum in
Chernetski's basememt
laboratory in the center of Moscow made it a reality.
This is how he explains his mricaulaous experiment: "The self-generating
discharge emerges when the discharge current reach a definite critical
density, when the magnetic fields they create ensure magnetisation of
plasma electrons and they begin to perform mostly cycloid movements.
The interaction of currents with their magnetic fields forces the
electrons to deviate to the cylinder-shaped discharge axis and the
electrical field emerges. It has proved to 'switch on' the physical
vacuum: in this field the vacuum is polarised and consequently the
virtual pairs begin to move in a definite direction, instead of
chaotically. the virtual positrons accelerate plasma electrons, giving
them part of their energy. The current in the circuit builds up and
additional energy is discharged on the resistor switched into the
discharge circuit. Clearly, only part of the tremendous vacuum energy is
extracted.
"We've developed several circuit versions which can find application.
In thelater experiment with an input power of 700 watts, that extracted
by the
generator loads resistance was three kilowatts, or nearly five times
more.
This is by far not the limit and with more powerful plants and the
corresponding calculations megawatts of free electricity can be produced
froma minimal power source."
Self-Generating-Discharge Plasmatron and Space Travel.
Yuri Galkin looks at the future of their discovery: "Its applications
are
wide-ranging. For example, engines based on the
self-generating-discharge
plasmatron. Until now all attempts to use plasmatrons as engines
failed,
because strong electron and ion bombardments rapidly burnt out the
electrodes. Self-generating discharge leaves them inatct and such
engines can be used in aircraft, trains and autos. It would be logical
to create a new environmentally-wise power industry. Portable hydros,
wind power plants and solar batteries boosted by self-generating
discharge could become an enormous source of electricity. With time,
they could edge out the costly and hazardous fuel-firing and hydraulic
[hydroelectric?] facilities. Already now we can build a plant which
would supply electricity for a township or factory. A vacuum power
station comparable to giant facilities could be designed today. Our
discovery can revolutionise cosmonautics."
Laboratory experiments have proved the possibility of using the kinetic
effectof self-generating discharge for accelerating bodies in space.
Galkin hascalculated the parameters of a self-generating-discharge
plasmatron that couldserve as the propulsion engine of the future,
replacing the present unwieldy rocket engines. Powered by a minor
ten-volt source, it can deliver power enough for the takeoff of a large
spaceship. Tapping the ambient space vacuum, it could fly eternally.
Unknown Waves
"We didn't think of only industrial applications," Chernetski recalls.
"Self-generating discharge turned out to produce wave radiation which
was
hitherto unknown, but evidently existent at all times. Like sound
waves, itswaves have a longitudinal electric field component and a high
penetrability through condcutive mediums, including metals. It turned
out that these single waves, 'awakening' the hidden vacuum energy, can
alster substance structure."the experiment staged at the Burdenko
Institute of Neurosurgery in Moscow several years ago showed that
directional SGD radiation accelerated nuclear beta-decomposition by
5%-6%. This is only one example. We supposed that, like SGD-generator
radiation, longitudinal electric-field component waves could also be
produced by living beings, man in particular. Comparative experiments
were staged to prove the impact on men with extrasensory perception and
of our device on different objects. In both cases parallel impact on
the high-stability quartz generator made its frequency 'drift' by
several orders of magnitude. The filament resistance of the
incandescent lamp decreased considerably. Probably we are on the road
to explaining such mysterious things as extrasensory perception,
telekinesis and bioenergy.
Vacuum-Ether
The experimentally-verified concept of Chernetski claims to be a
theoretical breakthrough in the basic quantum-physics idea of the energy
structure of the Universe. It is generally recognised among physicists
that all elementary particle interactions, and hence every existing
phenomenon, occur with the help of virtual-particle exchange. How does
it come about?
"Full annihilation of virtual pairs cannot take place in the event of
partial energy extraction in self-generating discharge, because a
'certain' virtual dipole must emerge -- two separate charges with a
common negative energy. This means that together with energy extraction
vacuum structurisation and ordering takes place. Actually, our concept
is a return to the idea of the universal ether at an entirely new level.
We say that the ordered dipole vacuum, or ether, is an all-penetrating
energy medium in which processes occur which are related to virtual
dipoles and subject to the uncertainty principle of modern physics."
Chernetski asks: if vacuum structurisation is a constant process, isn't
this an opportunity to state the law of conservation of entropy in the
Universe in opposition to the idea of its steadfast decrease?
What if this work helps to clear up the nature of gravitation, which is
as dim now as it was in the times of Newton? What his concept of the
vacuum shows the road to the long-awaited explanation of the Grand
Unification theory?
"As as experimental physicist I won't say our theory is 100 percent
correct," Chernetski declares. "It's much more an opportunity now to
have indisputable experimental data to prove the opportunity of creating
a basically new power industry."
Only a rapid switch to new energy can save human civilisation from
ecological catastrophe. The research program must be developed
immediately and a center set up to coordinate cooperation between world
scientists. Natural and unlimited vacuum energy is at our doorstep.
Thanks for the transcript Chris. Any idea where your friend Prasad
obtained this info? (v guruprasad, prasad@watson.ibm.com) Was there a
date on it?
