Yes I am working from the premise that Leedskalnin thought he knew. Two particles one a carrier of charges and one the attractor and connector for the charges to follow. + and - are merely different levels of charge. When we compare them thats where we superimpose a + - reference to each other. So if we look at that then we can see how it would appear that two steams are going the same path. Think of it as this, the conductor (.) has a locked in path in it's structure. When one side of that path is filled it spills out into the environment but it has a surface effect much like water. (+()-) The first set of open and closed ends is the field of positive the second set is the physical transporter in the matter of the wire. This shifting of the natural state of the potential in the wire is how the external charges get pulled closer to the wire. So one side of the wire is highly positive and the other side is negative. This is actually a static law. Check you physics videos for static laws you will find it. And yes matter can appear to be both positive and negative at the same time at that spot.
So yes I agree with Leedskalnin but not entirely. There are no other charges then a +. Negative in this case is a virtual absence of charge that nature uses to balance everything. It's kinda like phase shifting the matter with one being the real and the other being the virtual positive or partly environmental. When we look at the wire as a whole this virtual bump as time goes on moves in a rotation around the wire and that is because it has other charges following and preceding it.

As for the particles he is talking about I highly doubt he had it entirely correct. After all this is the reason that I went looking for a system or method that could produce the desired effects of a particle made of just one substance but in different configurations. This led me to the Sierpinski triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . If you look down to the analogues in higher dimentions you will see two structures that appear to be the same when viewed on the whole but differ wildly in the makeup of those two particles. One has huge amount of space in it or is a charge carrier and the other have little space or motivator conductor. They both carry charges to hold them together but they vary vastly in the amount they can carry.

I had to look for a substance for these particles as well and it dawned on me that they most likely are crystaline in nature and these crystaline forms are the basis of all crystaline forms we see on our scale and even they guide matter as it is formed based on the underlying formation of these channels. They are the seeds to form cystaline structures in everything that we see that has a crystaline nature to it as well.

If one needed proof of this way of self organizing growth and movement lets look in the area of computer graphics. What do they use for building those fantastic scenes triangles. Why? Because they work the best. How did they know this? Trial and error. It used to be point based and that was not working. Slow, inefficient and super sized data it wouldn't work on mass scale. Geometry was the key. One could input littlke information and tell the points that they contained a picture and stretch, transform the pictur to fit and appear to be solid. Well it turns out that if you wanted to make a solid version of that one would need to have the same process. Matter is the solid. The basis of matter is only condensed matter around a pathway. It is attracted by a static nature on it's scale to these pathways. The highways that have a higher flow rate attract matter to them and form a particle. The highway is still there but it is not mobile anymore. It has become real and inertial laws kick in then.

Although this internal network can be ripped away from the matter (burning etc.) this process will renew itself by condensing more matter to that new area as it comes to it. This renewal is nothing more then what we call re-gauging of nature.

Now I have had a lot of thoughts that a piece of gold is just the network in such a frequency or localized vibration of that point of the network. It tends to go a bit then vary it's frequency through fractal diffusion. This phi number I think is just a guiding orientation or even disorientation of the fractal network that underlies all mater and space. We could say that a chunk of gold is just a localized fractal variation of that unit that is in harmony with the surrounding network and fractal diffusion causes the every varying masses around that original network.

It took a long time for it to condense into matter as they think but I don't believe the source was anything but the great division and organized structure of our space. In the beginning this fractal had little difference and was pretty uniform. When it started to loose the energy and it spread out over this uniform space it condensed into a network. This network became so varied that it started to group together in like vibrations. This cause potential differences and the uniform network became motive and flowed. As matter formed on these new stronger formations of the network it attracted more matter and the divisions became bigger. When the energy started condensing into small divisions they tended to stay where the other matter was that was the same frequency.

So back to the network. Well this particle which is much smaller then the matter that floats in it's density is a formation of smaller particles. These particles had formed in a never ending combination of sizes. With charge carriers and charge motivators. The charges are actually a flywheel like formation of the finer particles. I think these strings that never end and go in a disk like fascion. They flow in and out of themselves. Think of it as a pancake coil but the end and the beginning are connected to one another. This forms a never ending motion that is organized. When compared to the structures of the charge carriers and motivators these charges are very very small. The difference in pressure of one side of the disk is huge and that causes two things to happen. Much finer particles tend to flow in vortexes out of each center in a left hand top(inflow) and right hand bottom (outflow). These structures that carry charges suck them in by virtue of it's shape. A pyramid. This gives the holes a certain amount of vacuum to suck in the charges and then the charges give the charge carrier the ability of the collective charges via it's surface area that the charges are touching.

This is how I see this network working. Ask me how it got organized and that I will leave up to the religious people to work out the rest. I believe that there is an intelligence out there. My take is that it is the universe that we live in. Life and intelligence is only a manifestation of the universal intelligence. We stay in contact with that intelligence by virtue of this network and we manifest the connection through matter. No matter what you call it on a fundamental basis it all points to a basic subset of rules. Be good, care and love one another.

We always assume we were the first ones to understand anything about where we live. The sad fact is there is concrete proof of not being the first as we so egotistically think. My conclusions are based on what we know in other areas as well. A culmination of our history as we have proof of. I could site all kinds of proofs but I guess the whole point to this is to experience the discovery of that truth. The journey is well worth it.

hi Jbignes5,

I don't mean to think in term of Leedskalnin's theory. The answer I have found is very simple. Heat is electricity, or what call charges. It is quite interesting because he thinks electric current is two ways. It has everything to do with relativity. A moving toward B or B moving toward A; Hot flow to cold or cold flow to hot; high pressure to low pressure or the other way ... It doesn't really make a different. What I came up with is that there really nothing flowing inside a conducting wire. If you call it heat flow, then yes. The whole thing is just a process of conduction heat transfer, or the transfer of momentum. It is also interesting that science denote Q as heat and q as charge.

Consider the heat transfer equation.
Heat Transfer

Q/t = current (heat/time or charge/time)
delta T = different in temperature (which proportional to pressure for constant volume heat tranfer process which is voltage)
thermo conductivity = reistive property of material
area = how much resistance in series
distance = how much resistance in parallel

Since a conducting wire is fix in property and area the equation break down to:
Q/t = k/R * deltaT , where k is fix constant of material and area, R= deffective distance of the conductor

Rewrite the equation becomes:
I= 1/R * V ---->> V=IR

With this we can see how a COP in both mechanical and electrical are related. Where do the energy comes from. How the conservative force works. Visualize energy flow in an AV plug etc...

Tesla didn't take the garden hose pass its usefullness. It is... the garden hose.

Ok. I don't know about the heat analogy since there is the cooling effect we have seen. If it is related then whatever is being cooled is having it's charge base depleted right?

I would say that heat is an effect of this fundamental process. An effect would be a byproduct of this movement in the form of wakes so to speak in the medium. A better analogy would be like watching the waves on a beach. As the wakes hit the beach it changes the beach. That would be considered an energetic effect but it fits most perfect. Thats the beauty of charges in matter. They effect or radiate this network all from the potential of the inner charge. This network will have a flow to it as well and it is very mobile in the sense that the connections it breaks and forms again as it moves work much faster then anything we have ever seen before. But that is matter... A leyden jar so to speak. Energy transfer in the environment is much the same without being bound by gross matter. Masses gives inertia to the network as that network circulates or flows. When matter masses in the sense of a planet it is so huge that the heaviest of charges are bound inside the core and layer out in intensity around the biggest charges. Remember that matter binds this network outside that matter there is an atmosphere that contains less dense matter and the charge is lighter but just about even in the internal matter because there can be more light matter on the outside of the internal charges balancing and layering. The layers actually have a surface tension much like oil and water do and a distinct boundry layer is formed. each boundry layer can support particulate matter and in this layer it has the same effect as any other. It can have sediment (clouds,condensed water) as well.. When this condensation gets over sized for that layer it can and will fall twords the center point of the planet. Why you ask? Well remember that all matter is like a leyden jar. It has a high potential in the center and radiates the virtual conductors outwards like a pom pom. When it gets long enough it allows a pathway to form and charges get pulled twords the core. This is akin to when it rains. It is much the same process but without the matter. When the charges flow twords the center potential they can and will effect other matter pulling it down in the direction of the center point. Now this like anything in nature has a cycle to it. Great masses of charges are circulating changing from pure charges to radiated charges. This radiated charges takes the form of heat and other effects. Heat rises and starts the whole process over again.

Maybe that will help you a little in the way I see this working for no apparent costs what so ever. Once the process was started it will always stay going. The one thing that I am concerned with is that it seems to be getting a higher charge base on the whole. This might be due to a static buildup on the whole. With the medium being the lowest resistance we could think of it wouldn't be a stretch to think that we are gaining in charge as time goes on because of this low resistance in the fundamental network. Matter tends to float on the whole process and everything seems to be gaining in potential as time goes on. It sure would explain the fact that they say the universe is speeding up.

Good morning everyone. I am a newbie to this forum. Mr. Drewry is saying hello to everyone in The Energetic Forum on this beautiful Sunday morning, and is very thankful to be a new and proud member of this great place. Looking forward to learning and networking with many. Please feel free to stop by anytime!

Taking a break

Hi all,

I wish to inform you that I will be little active on FE and the forum the coming weeks, because the past couple of months have been very intense. It does take a lot of energy to continuesly focus on one subject and now that I think the important pieces of the puzzle are more or less in place, it is time to relax for a while and shift my focus to my wife and children for a change. They deserve that, because they missed quite a lot of attention during the past couple of months, since my head was always somewhere else.

To me, the seeds have been sown and now it's "mother nature's" turn to make it grow out to a beautiful flower.



Make it happen, my friends and see you soon!

I don't usually quote myself but bear with me on this. I had further time to think about this and maybe what we are seeing is further condensation and separation of the finner aspects of the medium. Meaning that as time progresses the network becomes more defined and separations in the medium (network) are more defined. This speeding up of the universe could be explained by this aspect. The network is growing stronger hence it is speeding up. It could also explain the Black Holes activity/non activity periods and growth of them as well and why they look like they are consuming each other. When two nodes come together they join and merge becoming stronger.

As I said before these Black holes are indicators of great junctions of this network. Just watching a Black Hole could tell us more about branching and solar changes that can happen if they are connected to lesser networks as merges happen. But I digress...

So heat I would say is an effect of charge movement and not the source. A simple reference would be to look at a speed boat. The wakes behind the boat are the heat, light and any other radiative event one can think of.

[quantumuppercut]

hi Jbignes5,

Yes, there should be a cooling effect if you draw power from conservative force. Either you see heat as a byproduct or a cause is just a matter of causality. It really is an interesting philosophy. You think very deep and I can almost certain we exchange thoughts wirelessly all these time.

I think lamare is right. I am now taking a break too, but spending my time on experiments. Pretty much my conclusion is that make a perfect oscillator. What I'am still diappointing about is that we tend to think separately. We should unify all oscillating circuit into 1 common phenomena.

Question: Free Electric Energy....

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie to this forum. Short introduction of myself: I am an electonic engineer but don't be confused - I know the limited knowledge of this profession and I like the idea that there is still so much of wonder and marvel. Two yeares ago I detected the "free Energy" movement and since then I serach the Internet in order to understand and find some common rules like: high voltage, short steep pulses, DC pulses ..... I learned a lot! Some days ago I discovered the article from Lamare: Free Electric Energy ....

@Lamare: You've done a very good job! I fully understand and support your retraction! Nevertheless I miss your contributions.

Now to my thoughts and I ask you kindly to evaluate them in oder to check lamare's elaboration with further known applications:
1.
If I follow the thougts of lamare then the tesla coil is in fact a capacitive coupling - primary to secondary. Tesla himself insisted that his coil arrangement is not a normal transformer (n1 vs. n2). That would explain the profound difference betwen the genuine Tesla arrangement and the current usual public use of the so called "Tesla coil".
2.
Lamare's notion of how the energies are propagated in and around a coil coincide with Tesla's obesrvation that the light emitting "fluid" moved waving outside the windings and perpendicular to them. I found the following taxt hat seems to be related to it but I can't get deeper connection and understanding: link
3.
At Tesla switch we have a very uncommon arrangement because there the load (motor) itself is the only source of steep pulses containing high frequency components being couled back to the batteries. (Bedindi SSG analogy - reverse) There ist he rumour as well that the Tesla switch will funcion with inductive loads only. The interchange of the batteries was done by relais in order to access the batteries in an symmetrical manner. The relais switched in a relatively frequency. In so far they could not be the source of high frequency. If that ist true then it explains the successless trial of many experimenters if they "optimise" the switching while driving an ohmic load.
4.
A bit off topic: The notion of lamare is probably one facet oft the reality only but very comprehensible. I have the very strong feeling that the magnetic world is muth less understood than the electric component. I found a booklet from Howard Johnson. It might be new for some of you: link

Please feel free to comment. I am eagre to learn.

I found the following taxt hat seems to be related to it but I can't get deeper connection and understanding: link

Other confirmation:

since it is not a conventional generator you must store the charge before you discharge the capacitors to the batteries. If the timing is right the batteries charge right up to full.

Then

Sucahyo,
I can only report what I was told, The women in the room felt relief in pain when standing next to the machine. I guess people do not know anything about Scalar Interferometry in magnetic systems. Also I called a woman to the stage to give you a report on what she saw happen, if the energy is good without harm plants go nuts and grow like mad.

If the energy that is emitted from the machine is harmful you end up like Floyd Sweet dead all at once, that is why I stay away from that device Floyd built. I worked with him for 2 years know everything about his device and what could happen if your not careful with negative energy, things just explode for no reason. I had that problem when I was first tuning the machine, so a warning be careful with inter active fields.
And yes I did call everybody up to feel that experience of scalar fields

[lamare]

Finally got some time to focus a bit more on free energy again. I have recently appeared on a web-radio show about free energy (Dutch):


And I wrote an article on the mess main stream science has gotten us into by forgetting Nikola Tesla and going bazerk for over a hundred years:
Tuks DrippingPedia : Ruins 96 Years Einstein Relativity

The ruins of 106 years Einstein relativity.

Last week the newspapers were filled with the discovery of "impossible" particles traveling faster than the speed of light. A month ago an "impossible" star was discovered and earlier the Pioneer space probes also refused to adhere to the law. This way, the scientific establishment will slowly but surely be forced to return to reality, the reality of the existence of a real, physical ether with fluid-like properties. The inevitable result of that will be that Einstein's relativity theory will go down in the history books as one of the biggest fallacies ever brought forth by science. In the future they will look back to relativity with equal disbelief as to the "Earth is flat" concept. The relativity theory not only goes against common sense, as Tesla already said in 1932, a fundamental thinking error has been made by Maxwell in his equations. This eventually lead to the erroneous relativity theory, as is proven in this article. It is therefore no exaggeration to state that the scientific establishment is going to have a religious experience.

So far, so good. Now the article apears to be getting attention:
Article:Free Electric Energy in Theory and Practice - PESWiki

Wow! Close to 30.000 views already! That means I know have some kind of connection with, say, 15.536 people or so, over space and time.

I wonder where those people that read my articles end up going and whether or not they are going to take a look at what more I had to say on this forum, for example.

Anyway, I also updated the article with extracts of some older posts by me on this forum. These are basically my notes, which I tend to post here on this forum. So, they are quite rough and unedited, but also very inspiring, IMHO.

Coming back on what I had to say elswhere, I have been to lots of places on the internet. And I always comment either with my full name, Arend Lammertink, or with lamare and sometimes l4m4re. This name originates at OMRON, my first employer, where I was part of a team that developed a Basic interpreter from scracth in C.

It was a very interesting time, because I learned a lot about interpreters and compilers. The principles of machine interpretation of, although specially formatted, human readable language. We implemented a recurrent-descent parser, a scanner (with which I had little to do) and a runtime Basic environment. We used a command-stack design, so we had sort of a compiler/interpreter hybrid, much like Java works, and C# as well. And Python of course, the little darling.

The system administrator at OMRON, Tim, just picked the first three letters from my last name and the first three of my first name. I guess I kind of liked that, because I always sticked to that nickname ever since.

From the old box...

Just re-read the article I wrote years back during the war against software patents in Europe:

Dutch Parliament Considers Revoking Support for Patent Directive

A bit of history

Hans Achterhuis, Ph.D., Professor in Systematic Philosophy at the University of Twente, writes in his book "Het rijk van de schaarste" ("empire of scarcity") about how scarcity could develop in our society. Thomas Hobbes was the first to understand that scarcity is the "Natural condition" of mankind: "therefore if any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies."

Contrary to the system that has been developed to fight scarcity, capitalism, there is the system of the commons, that can only work if there is no scarcity. As long as anyone that wishes to make use of the common possessions can do so as he pleases, there is no rivalry and therefore no scarcity. In this light it is interesting to consider the system of common grounds that flourished for ages in Europe. Apparently, land was not scarce at that time, which is easy to imagine. If you don't have a horse or a tractor to work with, you're not waiting for 10 hectares of labor.

So, the system of commons worked until land became scarce, due to the "enclosure of the commons" by the English landlords that started in the late 15th century. Fed by the upcoming capitalism, the landlords took over the common grounds to turn them into exclusive private possession where they could herd their sheep to produce wool for their factories. The farmers and peasants where transformed into possessionless, dependent workers for these giant factories, all to the benefit of the lucky few. Achterhuis explains:

"At first, the English Kings resisted this appropriation of the commons [by the landlords]. All kinds of acts where passed to stop it. In 1489, Henry VII, prohibited the destruction of all "houses of husbandry" to which at least 20 acres of land belonged, while in 1533 an act was passed that limited the number of sheep on (former) common grounds to 2000. The fact that these acts where constantly renewed, shows that they were ignored. The need the capitalistic system had for possessionless, dependent workers could not be stopped with this kind of legislation."

How little has been changed in 500 years, since the time my forefather built the farmhouse (1472) where I was born. Replace "landlords" by "multinationals", "houses of husbandry" by "SMEs", "English Kings" by "European Parliament" and "workers" by "programmers". Then it becomes clear how serious this issue really is. A small group of wealthy powerseekers are well on their way to appropriating the last common left: The general free knowledge collected trough centuries of science, handicraft and industry.

The European Patent Office already issued thousands of trivial softwarepatents to mostly non-European multinationals, each of which is like one pole in the enclosure being built up around the common pool of ideas the European Software industry depends on for their businesses. Since the European knowledge workers and owners of small businesses don't want to end up in the modern version of the factories our forefathers ended up in, it is time for those that are supposed to defend our interests to draw the line and make clear that in Europe there is no place for Software Patents.

Note: This is not meant as a statement against capitalism. To the contrary, I think capitalism is a fine system to regulate the market for all tangible goods that cost money to produce and can thus be considered scarce. I just think that the system of commons, as traditionally used by scientists to share ideas, should not be disregarded so easily just because multinationals want to make money off just a few ideas compared to the giant pool of ideas great scientist like Newton, Galilei and Einstein left us. Since software is nothing more then an idea that can be directly executed on a computer, the system of commons can be successfully applied to both software and ideas equally well, as the rising of Open Source software proves now and the flourishing science has proven long before. I'm all for using the right tool for the right job, which is why at my work we try to combine the Open Source and proprietary models in one product. We open up that part of the software that enables others to learn from our system, which is a complete working system. They can also develop their own ideas and plug them into the existing product, without having to worry about basic things like for example file I/O. On the other hand, we make use of proprietary plugins to make money, which is adequately protected by good old copyright. We rely on our innovative power to keep ahead of the competition, so that by the time they have figured out how our proprietary plugins work we already have something new to compete with and that's how it should be in our view.

Also interesting about this time of my life is that Florian Mueller wrote a book about the whole exercise, wherein my name was mentioned:
NO LOBBYISTS AS SUCH - The War over Software Patents in the European Union

Let's quote a part about a remarkable fellow you just gotta love:

One of the most remarkable moments in all of this was when Jan "Miernik" Macek showed Driece and others that he had the latest version of the text of the directive on his portable computer, and asked Driece to explain the meanings of some symbols and abbreviations relating to changes made by the linguists. I found it incredible. There was this Polish activist, who looked like he was 19 or 20 even though he was in his mid-20s, and he had access to an internal document of the EU Council, the most important decision-making body of the European Union. Driece acted as if this was the most normal thing in the world, but to me it was just amazing, and I bet that even Driece wouldn't have expected someone in our movement to be privileged enough to receive such internal documents.

Miernik amazed me on more occasions than this. He spent a number of months fighting against the proposed software patent directive without getting paid: he asked only that the FFII cover his most basic living expenses. He always figured out the least expensive way to travel from one place to another, often taking overnight trains at hugely discounted rates. And I heard stories that he sometimes slept in the office of a friendly MEP and below a desk in the CEA-PME office. There was no personal inconvenience that he wasn't prepared to accept in order to pursue his mission.

At some point I asked him to what character trait or habit he owed his nickname. In 1995, he participated in a summer camp for young people from Poland with a particular interest in science. Some Russians sold him a Geiger-Mueller counter on the street, and he used the device to measure radioactivity. "Miernik" means "measurer": the others saw him running around with his measuring device all the time. He didn't identify any uranium. Miernik just collected the data to draw a map of farmers in the area who used potassium fertilizer. I could easily imagine him doing so with meticulous precision because I saw how well organized he was when we worked together. Miernik kept track of every meeting and every telephone conversation on his portable computer in the kind of details that only very few professional lobbyists do.

This is my absolute favorite part of the book:

By the afternoon, our idea had begun to get a little traction. Erik, Miernik, and I were waiting for someone in a corridor, and Miernik thought we might get valuable information from Polish deputy minister Włodzimierz Marciński as to the situation in the Council. From his cell phone, Miernik called Marciński's office. While he was dialing, I asked: "Are they really going to put you through to him?" Miernik replied: "Sometimes it works." He said a few sentences in Polish and then gave us the thumbs-up. A minute later he was connected to Marciński. This was like the moment at the FFII conference earlier that month, when Miernik showed the Dutch government official an internal working document of the Council. I considered it even more amazing that this young activist was in a position to call a member of the Polish cabinet and be put through as if it were no big deal.

@Miernik: How are ye?

And a big for everyone that has been and still is involved with the creation of a world without software patents and over-regulated "intellectual property". A world of sharing and caring, a world where every human being can be really free and can live in abundance and peace.

And you know what the Bible says:

"Ye shall know the truth, and then the truth shall set you free."
