    OUR FUTURE ENERGY SOURCE – THE VACUUM!

    Abstract: In the quest to discover a new energy source that can replace existing technology and avoid further pollution of our planet, one can but be frustrated by the knowledge that the secrets of past achievement in this field have remained outside our reach. The reason for this is the probability that the inventors themselves have not fully understood the physical processes they were harnessing in their experiments, namely how that energy was actually drawn from a hidden source in our immediate environment. Accordingly, they shrouded their work by a cloak of secrecy and, being distrustful when faced with hostile scientific opinion, have not left on record the details necessary to replicate their findings. By examining from sparse information certain features common to the apparatus used by those who have had success, and particularly the efforts of Dr. Henry Moray in the 1920s, and analysing this in the context of this author�s research investigation of the role aether plays in determining the fundamental constants of physics, this mystery can now be solved. The evidence points clearly to the future prospect of electrical power generation based on a rather simple but specific form of capacitor system, which would have a low weight to power ratio, operating at frequencies of the order of 100 kHz and voltages of the order of 25 kV. Based on these findings the task ahead is to alert the energy research community to what can be possible as, surely, it is inconceivable that those pioneers of historical record were deceiving themselves and those who witnessed their demonstrations.

    THE CONTEMPORARY AETHER

    Abstract: Although 20th century scientific philosophy has sought to banish
    the aether and outlaw it from our modern civilisation, that effort has
    failed. The great contributions of philosophers of earlier centuries,
    giving us recognition of the aether, and notably by Rene Descartes,
    live on, nothwithstanding acceptance of the four-space notions of the
    theory of relativity. The aether remains the essential fabric of
    space, the canvas on which Nature has painted the glorious picture of
    the world and the universe we see around us. This paper will simply
    point to one scientific phenomenon which reveals a direct
    manifestation of the aether and shows us how to tap into its power.
    This paper also provides a bibliographic listing of this author’s 20th
    century discoveries concerning the aether, this being research which
    has been published in spite of the opposition by those who prefer to
    accept the virtual reality images which stem from Einstein’s
    doctrines. The key property of the real aether is its universal
    rhythm, its universal time keeping, as enforced by a phase-lock
    between its quantum properties. This property is manifested by aether
    in rotation because the phase-lock involves one-way energy transfer
    from aether to matter in company with an electric charge induction by
    rotation, neither of which feature in Einstein’s vision of the
    properties of space.

    US PATENT NO 5,734,122

    ‘THERMOELECTRIC ENERGY CONVERSION APPARATUS’

    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed in which a pair of elongated solid cylindrical metal conductors mounted with their central axes mutually parallel are connected at their ends to form a closed electrical circuit path, there being heat sinks at spaced positions along their length which serve as heat transfer means setting up a temperature gradient along the lengths of the conductors. A strong electrical current flow in the conductors creates a circumferential magnetic field in the metal directed at right angles to the heat flow and this, by the Nernst Effect, produces a radial electric field gradient in the metal coupled with the transient accumulation of stored electrical energy. The apparatus disclosed serves for the experimental testing of energy conversion and storage by thermoelectric processes occurring in the metal and the ultimate utilization of the technology involved.

    U.K. PATENT NO. 2,303,255

    ‘MAGNETIC RELUCTANCE MOTOR’

    Abstract: A magnetic reluctance motor has a rotor which comprises several laminated rotor sections 19 axially spaced along a supporting spindle 1. Between these rotor sections there are permanent magnets 18 or ferromagnetic ring cores with rotor excitation windings serving as electromagnets. The rotor sections have salient poles interacting with a set of elongated stator cores 17 mounted parallel with the axis of the spindle and around which there is a magnetizing winding 16 which powers the motor by current pulses which promote magnetic flux switching (field H) affecting the magnetic attraction between the stator and rotor poles. The motor has an efficiency dependent upon the recovery of inductive energy fed to the magnetizing windings and a dual motor combination is described in which such recovery involves energy exchange between the two motors. A primary feature is the use of a solenoidal magnetizing winding 16 which determines the polarization of all the cores in the same motor.

    ‘ELECTRIC MOTOR POLE CONFIGURATIONS’

    Abstract: A ferromagnetic rotor and stator configuration for a doubly-salient pole electrodynamic machine operating as a magnetic reluctance motor comprises poles which are asymmetric, being tilted so that the pole sides and pole faces of the rotor and stator subtend an acute angle on one side of a pole and an obtuse angle on the other side. This results in the motor having a preferred direction of rotation when magnetically energized, because the torque-producing magnetic attraction between the poles is greater across the acute angle than across the obtuse angle.

    THE THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR

    This is a 39 page report. The subject of the report has already been introduced in describing the scope of Report No. 2. Neither Report No. 2 nor Report No. 3 is intended for general readers interested in Energy Science. Both reports are specifically intended as technical briefings for those expert in thermoelectrics and actively interested in new product development. The reports are aimed at encouraging R&D on a project which needs follow-through development, preferably by a corporate laboratory. Neither of the original inventors can take the invention further except by cooperation with others who assert their own initiatives. The first 16 pages of this Report No. 3 comprise a 1997 update suggesting the way forward for R&D. Pages 17-39 are simply research notes dating from the period 1994, outlining the research in prospect at that time. The 1994 status of the main project, as specifically related to the patented devices built by Scott Strachan, is essentially the subject of Report No. 2 . Such material as dates from 1994, though disclosed in confidence to sponsoring interests, is now made available in these 1997 publications of Reports Nos 2 and 3. Publication date March 31st 1997.

    POWER FROM ICE: THERMOELECTRICS

    This is a 70 pp. report. It is a documentary account relating to the Strachan-Aspden invention. This is a thermoelectric device of very unorthodox construction, mainly comprising a parallel plate capacitor assembled from a polymer dielectric film coated with very thin bimetallic layers of nickel and aluminium. Heat is applied so as to flow through those thin metal coatings in a direction transverse to the electrical oscillations set up in the capacitor. Without any input of electrical power the application of a temperature differential of only 20 degrees can promote oscillations which generate electricity which runs a small motor. A small cube of ice melting on one heat surface is sufficient to power the motor. The device operates in reverse, with input of electricity producing oscillations which can rapidly freeze water. The efficiency is so high that extensive research is warranted to understand fully the physics involved. However, although each device built functioned well for many successive demonstrations to potential sponsors, there was eventually a mysterious deterioration in performance with repeated testing. Strachan could not resolve this problem and the initial sponsorship support was withdrawn. In the event, this author (Aspden) has persevered and now believes that the deterioration is easily remedied. This Part I report is a full account of the research, including test data, to the time when the project was abandoned in 1994. Energy Science Report No. 3 is the Part II document which now (1997) discloses the cause of the deterioration and provides an update on the patent position. The remedy, however, is very simple and revival of the development activity is now justified in view of the potential importance of the subject invention to the refrigeration field as well as the efficient generation of electricity from low grade sources of heat. By this disclosure it was sought to encourage research on this project and the patents (there were three granted U.S. patents, now no longer in force). This Report No. 2 was published on March 31st 1997.
