Great post Hv, I've been looking into zero point generators for some time now, and have posted quite a bit of info, but your post gives a good insight into the history of the generator and the inventor.
I would love to have a go at building one of these, and there are several designs around, that are worth looking into.
Have you ever thought of building one yourself?
No, I have never really grasped the concept of zero point energy. I know my dad has studied it quite in depth though since he is a major electronics expert., and was talking about building some things along those lines a while back. We don't talk anymore though so I don't know if he ever built any prototypes.
My big fascination has always been with plasma physics. One of the ideas I came up with when I was 21 was using plasma to in essence burn garbage, which would not only reduce landfill waste, but would also allow for the recover of recyclables, aluminum, glass, gold, zinc, copper, etc. Funny thing is that I saw recently that some company just patented the idea and has a prototype running. The prototype is said to be generating considerably more electricity than is put in, just like plasma engines do.
I have seen a number of my old ideas recently patented. Another was an experiment I was working on 20 years ago for a nuclear "solar" battery. I bought some Pb210 and some zinc sulfide for a "phosphor" source. The idea was to use the beta particles to excite the "phosphor" to create light that would then be painted on solar cells so the cells were exposed to the light 24 hours a day. Another company recently patented that idea as well. They are blending the radioactive isotope sources and the phosphor source in a plastic matrix so the matrix continuously glows Then they sandwich this on to a solar cells to create the batteries. They want to market these for among other things computer batteries that never need charging.
My problem is that I am great at coming up with the concepts, but often lack the knowledge and/or funds to build the inventions I come up with. Especially when it comes to electrical, which a lot of my inventions involve. The best I can do is to build ozone units since they do not involve an circuitry. So I have been focusing more on my inexpensive ideas that do not involve electronic circuitry right now. Right now these are growing opals, rubies and making synthetic whale poop. The opals seem to be coming along pretty well and the whale poop has finally stopped smelling like a dead body so it is nearly done. These are slow processes though, a year or more to complete. The rubies I just started recently and the first try was quite an experience. Imagine opening up the kiln to lots of smoke and flames. But what I did come up with has me on a new path of manufacturing with that one. Something appears to be crystallizing inside the container, but it is too early to tell yet what it is. Long explanation but I was trying to crystallize several things out of the solution as a means to draw some of the impurities out of the Al2O3. So I expected to form peridot (olivine) first, followed by ruby. This is why I am not sure yet what is forming. The opaque part of the solution makes it hard to see what is happening other than something that has attached to the container wall and is growing. Funny thing is that the top has a clear green liquid with the same looking gel as I get when making the opals, so I may end up with those as well. Time will tell.
I did meet a guy recently who knows a lot about electronics and circuitry so I have been going over some of my ideas with him. So he is going to help me build some of the stuff I need for some other experiments such as one of my oldest projects, making diamonds. Last time I tried this was 20 years ago as well. Not a pretty picture. Luckily it was a low pressure process, but enough pressure built up that it blew and ended up all over the ceiling and walls as well as me. My roommate was not happy. I know I was on the right track though as the basic principle is being used to produce diamond by another company. They are using a slight variation though using a microwave beam as where I was using along the lines of the original method of doing this, involving a tungsten coil. I think I finally figured out the key to how they are produced under low pressure now. So I am going to have this guy build me some specialized equipment that should allow for the production of real diamonds under low pressure, but with larger sizes and dirt cheap. Hopefully these projects will fund many of my alternative energy projects I have been wanting to try.
