Subject: RE: MEG gets it from
APS Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 12:56:14 -0500
Dear Don,
This type of ad
hominem attack is to be expected from persons who have not the foggiest
notion of what powers an EM circuit in the first place. The tactic is
to attack like a pack of cur dogs, and just as vociferously. Their
effectiveness, they think, is to be judged by how loudly they yell.
We will answer it once
and once only; there are far better things to do with one's time than to
argue with dogmatists whose gambit is cur dog pack attacks. That is not
science; it is a cur dog fight. One can discuss with a friendly and
open minded skeptic who focuses on the science. Those calling one names
are not engaging in scientific discussion, but that same cur dog fight.
Let me put it clearly:
There is not now, and
there never has been, a single electrical engineering department,
professor, or textbook that even knows and teaches what actually powers
an EM circuit. Strong words, but absolutely true. We will show why,
and the reader can check it out for himself or herself.
That situation is
inexplicable and sad, since the rigorous basis for what powers an EM
circuit has been proven in particle physics since 1957, as witness the
Nobel Prize awarded to Lee and Yang that year for their work in the
electroweak reactions and prediction of broken symmetry. Lee and Yang
strongly predicted broken symmetry in 1956 and perhaps a bit earlier,
and Wu et al. proved it experimentally in early 1957. So profound a
change was that to all of physics, that in a nearly unprecedented action
the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Prize to Lee and Yang in Dec.
1957, the very same year.
Unfortunately the
results of that profound change to all of physics --- and to all of
electrical engineering --- has not yet made it into electrical
engineering, even though 45 years have passed. The electrical
engineering model does not include the active vacuum, much less a broken
symmetry in it.
Park and all such
dogmatists never mention broken symmetry in the same breath as power
systems, and neither do electrical engineers, by and large. Not one of
them has any deep knowledge at all as to what really powers the
electrical power lines and every dipolar EM circuit. That lack of
knowledge of the broken symmetry of any dipole (and any charge, as we
shall see) is part of the problem, not part of the solution. It is also
why we continue to have power meters on our homes, and meters on the gas
pump, and rape and pillage the planet and the biosphere to burn all that
gas, oil, and coal, use all those nuclear fuel rods, build all those
dams and windmills, etc. NONE of that of itself ever added a single
watt to the power line, and never will. It only went into continuously
remaking the source dipole, that our silly circuits are specifically
designed to keep destroying faster than they power their loads.
The two papers on the
MEG that were published in Foundations of Physics Letters were
vigorously and professionally refereed, particularly the second one.
All those common charges of perpetual motion, etc. were levied very
strongly. We prepared a detailed rebuttal, citing the actual physics
proof of broken symmetry of the dipole, and we also explained that
source charge problem and challenged the challengers to provide an
explanation in standard classical electrodynamics. They could not do
so, of course. So the referees upheld the rebuttal, and the journal
published the paper. A scientific paper is referred and published based
on being good science, not whether or not it agrees with the prevailing
dogma. Experiment will then prove or disprove it.
Note that the same
dogmatists raising their voices so stridently against cold fusion, have
just been given a mild lesson in what scientific method is all about, by
the journal Science. We applaud the editor for admonishing all
vociferous and strident voices on both sides to cut the rhetoric;
experiment will confirm or refute the reported experiments. That's a
call back to the scientific method, and we do applaud the editor of
Science and his staff for giving a much needed lesson in what scientific
method is all about. There are now some 600 or more successful cold
fusion experiments worldwide, in multiple labs, by multiple reputable
scientists, and reported in the literature. To offhandedly imply that
all these experimentalists and experiments and scientists are charlatans
or idiots is to offend the very dignity of the scientific community
itself. Reasoned skepticism is of course quite proper, but based on
scientific objections and reasons, not just on the prevailing models.
The same
considerations must apply to the question of whether nature permits
COP>1.0 electrical systems. Nature does indeed permit COP>1.0 systems;
the common home heat pump with an efficiency of perhaps 50%, has a COP
of about 4.0. We explain the exact difference between efficiency and
COP shortly. There is absolutely nothing "magical' or "perpetual
motion" in having COP>1.0, else we must give up all waterwheels,
windmills, sailboats, etc. Any system --- whether mechanical, chemical,
electrical, or whatever --- that freely extracts and collects energy
from its environment, is permitted to exhibit five magic functions, in
accord with the well-recognized thermodynamics of open systems far from
equilibrium in an exchange with their active environment. Such a system
is permitted by the laws of physics, thermodynamics, energy
conservation, and nature to exhibit: (1) self-ordering, (2)
self-oscillation or self-rotation, (3) outputting more energy than the
operator directly inputs (the excess energy is freely input from the
active environment, (4) powering itself and its load simultaneously (all
the energy is freely input from the external environment), and (5)
exhibit negentropy.
In 2000 we pointed out
how and why every charge and dipole in the universe is already such a
system, and proved it from particle physics. The interesting thing was
the giant negentropy of the charge and the dipole. That has in fact
powered all EM circuits and power systems by energy extracted from the
vacuum, from the very beginning. It still does today.
In that respect, let
the dogmatists explain where the energy comes from in the Bohren
experiment, the method it arrives and turns into real EM energy, and
exactly why and how energy conservation is not violated even though 18
times as much energy is output as is input (by standard calculations) to
the material and system by the operator. Either they explain such
proven and replicated physics experiments not taught in electrical
engineering, or they have are not practicing scientific method where the
validated and replicated experiment is king.
All the theory in the
universe cannot invalidate a single successful and replicable
experiment. A single successful and replicable experiment can
invalidate any theory if it violates that theory's predictions. That is
called the scientific method. The present great cry to uphold the
accepted hoary old theories, regardless of experimental invalidation, is
totally unscientific and a great miscarriage of the scientific method.
Every charge and
dipole in the universe already completely answer all critics yelling
that COP>1.0 EM systems are impossible. Every charge and dipole is
quite happy to be a COP = infinity system already, always has been, and
always will be. The critics of course just sweep under the rug that
their own model implies that every charge and dipole is a foul perpetual
motion machine, freely creating energy out of nothing and continuously
pouring it out. More on that later.
One of the broken
symmetries proven by Wu et al. and published in 1957 is the broken
symmetry of opposite charges, as on the ends of a dipole. For the
open-minded reader, let me explain what broken symmetry means, and what
the broken symmetry of a dipole means with respect to powering any
dipolar EM circuit.
Broken symmetry means
that something virtual (shadowy, but real in a special sense and widely
used in physics; it has real physical consequences, since it creates all
the forces of nature) has become observable (real in the ordinary
everyday sense that it can be detected, measured, observed, and used.).
The broken symmetry of the end charges of a dipole rigorously means
that, once the charges are forcibly separated to form that dipole, the
dipole (its end charges) continuously absorbs virtual (fleeting) photons
from the seething vacuum, coherently integrates these "photon pieces"
into real observable photons, and re-emits the resulting real EM energy
in the form of real observable photons in all directions at the speed of
light.
That is not this
author's work; that is particle physics as justified by the award of a
Nobel Prize. It isn't even in the electrical engineering model, so no
objection based on standard classical EM and electrical engineering
concepts has any validity at all.
That's why a dipolar
permanent magnet, with opposite magnetic charges on its ends locked in
there by the material itself, continuously exhibits magnetic field in
the space surrounding it (out to the ends of the universe, if the magnet
has been around long enough). There is a continuous and steady stream
of EM energy, extracted directly from the vacuum and integrated into
observable magnetic field energy, pouring forth from the dipolarity of
that magnet. At any external point in that stream, the steady flow will
give a steady or "static" reading for the magnetic field and thus for
the intensity of the flow at that point. Actually there is no such
thing as a "static" field or potential in the universe; simply check out
Whittaker's 1903 decomposition of the "electrostatic" scalar potential
into bidirectional longitudinal EM waves, and his 1904 decomposition of
any field and wave pattern into two such potentials comprised of
bidirectional longitudinal EM waves. The 1903 paper founded what today
is known as superpotential theory. The 1904 paper has been largely
ignored by the academics, although it has been formidably weaponized by
several nations, notably the Russians not long after WW II. Application
of Whittaker's 1903 and 1904 papers is responsible for the weapons that
then Secretary of Defense Cohen referred to in 1997 when he stated:
"Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can
alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the
use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out
there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon
other nations…It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify
our efforts."
Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism
conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn. Quoted from DoD News
Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference
on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University
of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997.
A
technical explanation of the interferometry used in such weapons is
given by M.W. Evans et. al. (15 authors), "On Whittaker's Representation
of the Electromagnetic Entity in Vacuo, Part V: The Production of
Transverse Fields and Energy by Scalar Interferometry,"
Journal of New Energy, 4(3),
Special Issue, Winter 1999, p. 76-78.
So there
are quite a few things in extended electrodynamics that the professional
dogmatists do not know, that are true nonetheless.
So making a dipole
results in the free extraction of usable EM energy from the vacuum,
continuously, by that dipole's broken symmetry. So in terms of 45 year
old theory and knowledge instead of more than a century old stuff, let
us examine what really happens outside and inside a generator.
First, we burn some
hydrocarbon, say, to fire a boiler to make some steam to power a steam
turbine to rotate the shaft of the generator. All the drilling and
transport of the fuel, its combustion, etc. is just to provide some
mechanical shaft input energy to that generator. Now let's examine
exactly what happens inside the generator, once that shaft is forcibly
rotated.
We first point out
that the precise definition of work is the changing of form of energy.
Increasing potential energy alone does not require work; if we change
its form, then work is done upon the gadget or process that changes
(transduces) the form of the input energy.
So we do "work" on the
generator shaft to force the rotation of the rotor. We change the form
of the mechanical input shaft energy to magnetic field energy inside the
generator. Nothing magic so far. In a perfect generator, we put in
1,000 joules of mechanical energy, and we transduce it into 1,000 joules
of internal magnetic field energy.
So what happens to
that magnetic field energy? None of it goes out on the attached power
line.
Instead, all the
transduced magnetic field energy is dissipated on the internal charges
in the generator, to force the internal positive charges in one
direction and the internal negative charges in the other direction,
thereby producing a source dipole inside the generator and between its
terminals. Understand, we have to pay for making that dipole. That
costs us.
However, what does the
dipole do, once it is made?
Unless the Nobel
Committee rescinds the Nobelist award to Lee and Yang, and unless the
particle physicists disprove and discard the well-established (for
nearly a half century) broken symmetry of opposite charges, that dipole
will then extract real, observable EM energy from the seething vacuum
indefinitely, so long as we leave it intact. Don't destroy the dipole,
and it will freely and continuously pour out gobs and gobs of EM energy
in a steady stream, out of the terminals of the generator, filling all
space around the external circuit or power line. How much EM energy
flow from the vacuum do you want? You can have that much, easily.
And that is all a
generator does; it makes that dipole, which then furnishes the energy
outside the external power line, so that some of it can be intercepted
and diverged by that power line into its conductors, to power up
(potentialize) the electrons with excess potential energy. Just to
increase the potential energy is not work; it is for "free" under the
gauge freedom rule. Every electrodynamicist in the world already freely
changes the potential energy of the modeled Maxwellian system twice,
when he applies the Lorentz gauge condition to the Maxwell-Heaviside
equations. (Actually that's Ludwig Lorenz's symmetrical regauging
condition; H. A. Lorentz adopted it later and the scientific community
shorted Lorenz, giving the credit to Lorentz. Check out J. D. Jackson
and L. B. Okun, "Historical roots of gauge invariance,"
Rev. Mod. Phys. 73, 2001, p.
663-680 to set the record straight.)
Once the flowing EM
energy --- freely extracted from the seething vacuum by the source
dipole --- is pouring out of the terminals of the generator and filling
space around the external circuit, then it's a "transmission and
reception" problem, and an "energy collection and usage problem", as is
well-known in Poynting energy flow theory in every major EM textbook.
Here another
interesting bit of history emerges.
Two scientists,
Heaviside and Poynting, independently discovered the flow of energy
through space, after Maxwell was already deceased. Read the original
papers. Poynting never considered the magnitude of the entire energy
flow pouring out of those terminals. Instead, he only considered ---
from the very start -- that component of the available energy flow that
actually enters the circuit. And he got the direction of the energy
flow wrong by 90 degrees, being corrected by Heaviside.
Heaviside considered
the entire energy flow in that surrounding space outside the conductors
of the attached external circuit. To his astonishment, he found that
the remaining nondiverged energy flow component --- after the Poynting
component is intercepted, diverged, and enters the conductors to power
the circuit --- is many orders of magnitude greater than the small
Poynting component that was caught and used! In short, Heaviside
discovered that, pouring out of the terminals of every battery and
generator, there is far more EM energy flow rate than the rate of input
of shaft energy to the generator or the rate of dissipation of chemical
energy in the battery. Zounds! In the 1880s, the electron and atom and
nucleus had not been discovered, there was no such thing as an "active
quantum mechanical vacuum" because there was no quantum mechanics.
There was no such thing as "local curvatures of spacetime" because
neither special nor general relativity had yet been born, and neither
had QM or quantum electrodynamics or quantum field theory. In fact,
there was little resembling modern particle physics! There also was no
broken symmetry of opposite charges known yet --- that was to wait till
1956-57.
So there was
absolutely no way Heaviside could possibly explain where all that fool
energy was coming from. If he spoke or wrote too plainly about its
sheer magnitude, he would have been labeled an utter fool and a
perpetual motion nut (yes, there were dogmatists like Robert Park back
then also; the dogmatists have always dramatically slowed the progress
of physics and cost the taxpayers billions).
So Heaviside (e.g., in
his paper published in the Proc. Roy. Acad. Lond.) spoke obliquely of
the magnitude of the intercepted and nonintercepted energy flow
components by the direction of the flow component with respect to a
convenient reference direction. This way he "kept his head on his
shoulders" so to speak.
Enter H. A. Lorentz.
He well-understood the work of both men, and understood that the
Heaviside nondiverged component was indeed there and real. But even the
great Lorentz had not the foggiest notion of where on Earth all that
excess energy pouring out of a generator could possibly be coming from.
Even he would have been destroyed as a perpetual motion nut advocating
violation of energy conservation, by the cur dog pack attacks that would
have ensued if he strongly pointed out the magnitude of that excess
energy flow. They would simply have devoured him and destroyed him
scientifically, as shown by many classic examples such as Mayer (modern
form of energy conservation), Wegener (continental plate drift theory),
etc. A modern example was the terrible assault on the pioneers of
ultrawideband radar, such as Harmuth and Barrett. At the time of this
feverish pack attack, one could already buy a little working model UWB
radar, used to detect voids in thick cement. There are hundreds of other
examples well-known to historians of science.
Unable to solve this
horrendous problem, and to avoid personal scientific suicide, Lorentz
simply eliminated the problem itself!. He reasoned that that vast
Heaviside energy flow "has no physical significance," since it powered
nothing and was just wasted. He therefore integrated the entire energy
flow vector itself around a closed surface assumed surrounding every
volume element of interest. This neat little trick arbitrarily discards
the giant Heaviside nondiverged EM energy flow, while retaining the
Poynting diverged (caught) energy flow.
Check Jackson and any
number of other leading electrodynamics texts. Almost all use a
variation of Lorentz's statement that "it has no physical significance",
in disposing of the fact that "the Poynting energy flow is not really
the actual energy flow at a point in it, and it is indefinite". E.g.,
Jackson --- one of the ablest electrodynamicists whose books have
inspired millions, whom I greatly admire -- states it this way in his
Classical Electrodynamics,
second edition, 1975,
p. 237:
"...the Poynting vector is arbitrary
to the extent that the curl of any vector field can be added to it.
Such an added term can, however, have no physical consequences."
Our point
is that it can indeed have physical consequences if one does something
to increase the interception and collection. As an example, by simply
setting the intercepting charges (in the intercepting circuit) into
particle resonance, each resonant particle will sweep out farther in its
geometrical reaction cross section, and will intercept and collect
addition energy. See the Bohren experiment in
Am. J. Phys.
for this experiment; it produces 18 times as much energy out as the
energy in (where the calculation of energy in is the standard
calculation and ignores the present but unaccounted Heaviside
nondiverged energy flow component). In the same journal and issue, Paul
and Fischer report replication and validation. So the Bohren experiment
clearly proves the existence of the long-neglected and unaccounted
Heaviside excess energy flow component that is nondiverged and wasted in
the usual case.
Any
nonlinear optics lab in any university can easily do the Bohren
experiment at will, and prove it themselves. In science one does not
have to continuously reprove that which is already proven; one just has
to cite the literature. The Bohren experiment is given in Craig F.
Bohren, "How can a particle absorb more than the light incident on it?"
American Journal of Physics,
51(4), Apr. 1983, p. 323-327. Under nonlinear conditions, a particle can
absorb more energy than is in the light incident on it. Metallic
particles at ultraviolet frequencies are one class of such particles and
insulating particles at infrared frequencies are another. See also H.
Paul and R. Fischer, {Comment on “How can a particle absorb more than
the light incident on it?’},” Am. J.
Phys., 51(4), Apr. 1983, p. 327. The Bohren experiment is
repeatable and produces COP = 18.
Heaviside
was a hermit, and wound up most of his life in a tiny little garret
apartment. After his death, thieves ransacked the little apartment.
But later, beneath some floorboards where the thieves had missed them,
there were found Heaviside's notes where he had gone back to his
long-neglected huge component (often 10exp13 times as great as the
intercepted Poynting component) and recognized that it also had
gravitational implications. It is after all real EM energy, and so it
is a dramatic change to the local energy density of spacetime. Hence it
is a curvature of spacetime, which is gravitational a priori.
So
Heaviside worked out some gravitational aspects of his long neglected
theory. Remember, that theoretical component is actually proven
experimentally, e.g., by the Bohren experiment. Any critic has to first
refute the Bohren experiment, and many others, before such criticism has
any validity. This is already very solidly established, both
theoretically and experimentally. That it is still not added to
electrical engineering is a serious shortcoming of our electrical
engineering departments, not a shortcoming in physics.
In honor
of Heaviside, I resurrected his massive energy flow component --- which
can be shown to be accompanying every field/charge interaction --- and
nominated it for the long-neglected mechanism producing all that excess
gravitation that is holding the spiral arms of the galaxies together.
That's 90% of the gravitation in there, and I believe it is time that
Heaviside was given credit for his great discovery, so long suppressed
by just calculating it out of there with a little integration trick. In
short, I think Heaviside had already unknowingly solved the present
"dark matter, dark energy" problem for positive gravity, way back there
in the 1880s.
Another
way one can catch more of the long-neglected Heaviside energy flow
component surrounding every power line and electrical circuit, is simply
to retroreflect it end to end, back and forth, so that it passes back
across the circuit multiple times. This is already occurring in intense
laser interactions in random media; one must simply read the literature.
(Lawandy, Mandel, Wiersma, Letokhov,
Lagendijk,
Koenderink, Rivas, etc.) The only thing preventing these impressive
results from achieving COP>1.0 is the use of operator input power to the
pumping operation. Self-pumping and self-oscillation are well-known in
nonlinear optical materials; one is waiting for some enterprising young
doctoral candidate to do it for his doctoral thesis. An interesting
paper to read is V. S. Letokhov, “Laser Maxwell’s Demon,”
Contemporary Physics, 36(4),
1995, p. 235-243. Letokhov considers a Maxwell's demon based on the use
of selective interaction between laser light and atomic particles,
including two versions (destructive and nondestructive) of the demon.
The destructive version is based on the velocity- and particle-selective
resonant ionization of particles in the near field of laser radiation.
The non-destructive version is based on the dipole (gradient) light
pressure force in near-field radiation effects. In short, you really can
build a Maxwell's demon, in certain cases.
Oddly,
Maxwell's theory and Heaviside's vector truncation includes two kinds of
thermodynamic Maxwellian systems: (1) systems in equilibrium with an
active environment (or in an inert environment), and (2) systems far
from equilibrium in their energy exchange with an active environment.
The totally arbitrary Lorentz symmetrical regauging of the
Maxwell-Heaviside equations ---- just to give simpler equations whose
variables could be separated, thereby allowing analytical solution
rather than brute force numerical methods --- in fact discarded all
those class 2 Maxwellian systems.
It isn't
Maxwell's theory that forbids COP>1.0 EM systems! It is in fact the
arbitrary symmetrizing and truncation of the theory that tossed out all
such systems.
By
incorporating the closed current loop circuit in all EM power systems,
our electrical engineers have only used circuits which self-enforce that
Lorenz/Lorentz symmetry condition! That is so easy to show that we
leave it as the famous "exercise for the student". Or just read any of
my several papers showing it.
In short,
our engineers have only designed, produced, and deployed electrical
power systems that destroy their own source dipoles in the generators,
faster than the caught energy in the external circuit can power the
load.
We have
this total myth that COP>1.0 EM systems are impossible, only because
they are impossible in any circuit which destroys all possibility in the
way it is designed!
There's
lots more. From any EM field, say an E-field --- one can collect as
much force as one wishes, if one has enough intercepting and collecting
charges q. That's the simple equation F = Eq.
From any
scalar potential V, one can collect as much energy in a circuit as one
wishes, if one has enough intercepting and collecting charges q. That's
the simple equation W = Vq.
So here
is the proven situation in summary.
Batteries
and generators do not directly power their attached external circuits.
Never have, never will. Windmills, dams, steam power plants, etc. do
not directly power their attached electrical power lines.
The
seething vacuum and the dipole's proven broken symmetry in it, has
powered every dipolar EM circuit ever built, and all those built today.
As we stated at the beginning, there is not a single electrical
engineering department that even correctly teaches what powers and EM
circuit. Never has been one. They simply have not changed the more
than a century old foundations of their model to include what has
already been discovered and proven in physics.
Now let
me answer the "perpetual motion" critics, most of whom are completely
unaware of the technical difference between efficiency of an EM system
and coefficient of performance (COP) of that system. There are
basically two ways that you can get energy input into an otherwise inert
system (one with no internal radioactive source, etc.). (1) you can
input all the energy yourself, and (2) you can trick the active
environment to input some or all of the energy collected and dissipated
by the system in its external load.
The
efficiency of a system is the useful work out in that load, divided by
the total energy input to the system from all sources (the operator, or
the external environment, or both). No system ever produces more than
100% efficiency! Any real system has some losses, so the overall
efficiency is always less than 100%. Simply Energy In = Energy lost in
the system processing + energy lost by dissipation from the load to do
useful work.
The
charge of perpetual motion only correctly applies if someone tries to
say that a system has an efficiency greater than 100%. That is a total
non sequitur, and no serious overunity COP researcher is even suggesting
such. So why do the total skeptics keep insisting that such is
claimed? It isn't. But it's a good disinformation tactic to fool the
unknowledgeable lay person into thinking that something useful is being
said by such totally misdirected charges.
However,
if you have the second case for energy input, you are tricking the
environment to put in some or all of the energy. If you can get the
environment to input more energy than the system is losing in its
processing, then hey! You can cleverly (under certain circumstances)
have the system run itself and power its load simultaneously. Nothing
magic; here the environment is happily furnishing all the energy for the
losses and the dissipation in the load. So the operator has to input
nothing at all, if he has made the system self-switching and stable.
That's loosely known as a "close-looped" or self-powering system. A
windmill, sailboat, waterwheel, etc. are examples.
If you
still have to put in the switching energy and perhaps a little of the
other energy, then you still have an open system receiving excess energy
from its environment, but you do not have to furnish all the energy. To
speak of this, this is where COP comes in. COP may be defined as the
total useful work out of the system, divided by the energy that the
operator himself must input. Notice it says nothing at all about
whether or not extra energy is input by the environment, or how much.
It just measures "what you yourself have to pay for".
A
windmill, e.g., has a poor efficiency (typically 35% or 40% for a pretty
good one) but it has a COP of infinity! So does a waterwheel, and a
sailboat.
So when
one speaks of "overunity", one is speaking of COP>1.0 which is perfectly
permissible by the laws of nature, physics, thermodynamics, and
conservation of energy law. No one in his right mind is advocating
violation of any of those!
Now we
come back to the crazy situation in EM circuits and systems and
equations. As stated, Lorenz and then Lorentz arbitrarily discarded all
those Maxwellian systems that are open systems far from equilibrium with
their external environment (in this case, the active QM vacuum and the
local curvatures of spacetime). The result has been a horrible
emasculation of the EM theory, to ONLY cover and address that half of
permitted Maxwellian systems that either are in an inert environment or
in a net equilibrium in its exchange with an active environment. Those
RETAINED Maxwell systems are precisely the ones that have to obey the
classical equilibrium thermodynamics with its infamous second law. The
key feature of the EM systems built by our engineers for more than a
century, has been that closed-current loop circuit. That beast forcibly
rams all spent electrons right back through the source dipole in the
generator, using exactly half the externally intercepted and collected
Poynting energy to destroy the dipole. The other half of the collected
external circuit energy is dissipated in the internal losses of the
circuit and in the load. So less than half gets dissipated to do useful
work.
Let us
reason together. If you use half of something to destroy the source
dipole and its extraction of energy flow from the vacuum, and you use
less than half of that something to power the load, then that beast you
built is destroying the source of EM energy flow faster than it can
power its load. Hold that thought.
Well,
even in a perfect generator, you will have to input just as much energy
to RESTORE that dipole, as the circuit dissipated on the dipole to
DESTROY it. That follows directly from the simple field equations.
But this
means that, to keep the energy flowing out of the terminals so that the
external circuit can continue to catch some and power the load, you will
always have to input more shaft energy to the generator than the work
you get out in the load.
Voila!
Our engineers have ubiquitously designed and utilized a self-enforcing
COP<1.0 Maxwellian system. Not because nature requires it, or physics
requires it, or thermodynamics requires it. Because the stupidity with
which we have engineered all our electrical power systems self-enforces
it.
We pay
the electrical power company to have a continuous Sumo wrestling match
inside its own generators, and continuously LOSE.
That's
not the way to run an energy railroad, particularly since much better
knowledge about what powers an EM circuit has long been available if we
only apply in electrical engineering the proven facts of particle
physics; to wit, the broken symmetry of that source dipole.
I
challenge every skeptic to show an electrical engineering text or
curriculum outline where the broken symmetry of the source dipole in the
generator or battery is pointed out and addressed. It isn't.
I
challenge every skeptic to show me anything from the National Academy of
Sciences, National Science Foundation, National Academy of Engineering,
great national laboratories, etc. where the broken symmetry of the
source dipole in the generator or battery is addressed.
There is
no electrical energy problem, and there never has been, and there never
will be. The simplest thing in all the world is to extract all the EM
energy one wishes, from the seething vacuum, anywhere in the universe,
anytime, for peanuts. Just make a dipole or assemble the necessary
charge. Read my paper on Giant Negentropy to see how the "isolated
charge" extracts EM energy from the vacuum and pours it out at light
speed in all directions in 3-space, using that same broken symmetry of
opposite charges. An "isolated" charge is not such at all; it is
well-known to be surrounded by clustering virtual charges of opposite
sign (the well-known polarization of the vacuum). So one takes a
differential piece of the "isolated" observable charge, and one of those
virtual charges of opposite sign while it exists. That's a composite
dipole, and it exhibits the same broken symmetry for which Lee and Yang
received the Nobel Prize. Hence an isolated charge is simply a giant
set of composite dipoles and broken symmetries of opposite sign.
That was
the explanation for the long-vexing source charge problem --- the
problem of how on earth a little charge can sit there and continuously
pour out real observable EM energy in all directions in 3-space,
establishing its fields and potentials and their energy across all space
--- without any input of real observable EM energy. That was called the
"most difficult problem" in quantal and classical electrodynamics (Sen).
Yet the basis for its solution had been in particle physics since 1957.
I did nothing spectacular or brilliant; I just applied what particle
physics had already proven and well knew.
Now take
the standard electrical engineering model. It does not even include the
active vacuum environment, much less a broken symmetry in the exchange
of every charge in every circuit, with that active vacuum. One does not
have to reprove that exchange and broken symmetry; it has long since
been proven and recognized in particle physics. But it is not even
incorporated in electrical engineering and particularly in power
engineering.
Here's
just how stupid and asinine it is. The standard electrical engineering
model already rigorously excludes every charge and dipole in the
universe, implying they are perpetual motion machines of the greatest
kind, freely creating EM energy out of nothing and pouring it out, and
doing it continuously.
So the
dogmatists and extreme critics need to take their own medicine. They
themselves are already the greatest perpetual motion nuts on earth,
because of the model they uses. That model "eats itself" if applied to
a charge and a dipole --- and to what powers an EM circuit.
Here's
the challenge. Provide a standard electrical engineering model solution
to the long-vexing source charge problem, or shut their face and
recognize they themselves are the greatest advocates of perpetual motion
machines.
In our
wildest imagination, the legitimate COP>1.0 EM researchers have never
approached such total perpetual motion nonsense as is already implicitly
and totally advocated by the dogmatists.
One
either reads the literature and finds out what science has already
discovered and proven, or one is a dogmatist resisting already proven
scientific knowledge. It appears we have far too few people who are
reading the literature.
