Keith,
Hey, I know, I know ... in the past I have been more skeptical and publicly so (which is a rarity for moi) than almost anyone about Bearden & Co. I think his greatest fault was in trying to shoehorn everything into his standard spiel - but OTOH that because of his circumstance as being the first spokesperson for "free energy" and his historical placemany in the field - that he was a magnet for some of the anomalous underlying experiments (done by others) which could have shown an anomaly. Despite his ridiculous Maxwell-Heavyside spiel.
Here is an edited piece cut-and-pasted from a Tesla site. It demonstrates some of the semantic problems.
I don't have an answer as to what is going on, but as of now, I am convinced that there is "something" about barium in HV situations. What though ?? .... that is the $64 question
To attempt to understand "negative energy" two variations of normal scientific terms are used.
Hot Current: This is the normal form of EMF.
Cold current: This might be a "time reversed" counterpart
of normal hot current.
Discussion of cold current:
A device that time reverses an electromagnetic wave can be called
'phase conjugate mirror,' but I'm not sure that helps. The concept is
not new but it could be one key to 'free energy.' The
mistake made by the academic establishment was to assume a constant increase in
entropy is the inevitable result of all physical interactions in every time frame. This is only true
so long as time flows forward. Time may stop "flowing" under certain circumstances - such as spatial dimensions below the Forster radius.
Is Entropy simply a process governed by local
macroscopic time flow ? Maybe.
OK so far I can buy into this. It meshes in well with the Dirac notion of "reciprocal space" so long as we assume that this mathematical construct: reciprocal space is normal 3-space with time reversed. But how do you "reverse time" ? And can it be reversed in little segments interspersed along with the normal arrow of time, so that you seem to have no time distortion at the macro level?
Here is an historical (hysterical <g>) attempt to answer this going back to the original "Mr T" hissef:
Executive summary (of a sort) -- shockwave = temporary time reversal
By 1890, after a period of intense experimentation and design development,
Tesla summarized the components necessary for the practical deployment of a
radiant electrical power distribution system. Tesla had already discovered the
wonderful fact that impulse durations of 100 microseconds or less could not be
sensed and would do no physiological harm. He planned to use these in his
power broadcast. Furthermore, shocking waves of 100 microsecond duration
passed through all matter, a fitting form of electrical energy to broadcast
throughout the stone, steel, and glass of a power-needy city. Tesla would not
expect distortions with specially adjusted energy fields, vectors which
permeated matter without interactive effects.
Tesla made a most startling discovery the same year, when placing a long
single-turn copper helix near his magnetic disrupter. The coil, some two feet
in length, did not behave as did solid copper pipes and other objects. The
thin walled coil became ensheathed in an envelope of white sparks. Undulating
from the crown of this coil were very long and fluidic silvery white
streamers, soft discharges which appeared to have been considerably raised in
voltage. These effects were greatly intensified when the helical coil was
placed within the disrupter wire circle. Inside this "shockzone", the helical
coil was surrounded in a blast which hugged into its surface, and rode up the
coil to its open end. It seemed as though the shockwave actually pulled away
from surrounding space to cling to the coil surface, a strange attractive
preference. The shockwave flowed over the coil at right angles to the
windings, an unbelievable effect. The sheer length of discharges leaping from
the helix crown was incomprehensible. With the disrupter discharge jumping I
inch in its magnetic housing, the white shimmering discharges rose from the
helix to a measured length of over two feet. This discharge equaled the very
length of the coil itself'. It was an unexpected and unheard
transformation.
Here was an action more nearly "electrostatic" in nature, although he knew
that academes would not comprehend this term when used in this situation.
Electrostatic energy did not fluctuate as did his shockwaves. The explosive
shockwave had characteristics unlike any other electrical machine in
existence. Yet Tesla stated that the shockwave, during the brief instant in
which it made its explosive appearance, more nearly resembled an electrostatic
field than any other known electrical manifestation. just as in electrostatic
friction machines, where current and magnetism are negligible, a very
energetic field component fills space in radiating lines. This 'dielectric"
field normally launches through space in a slow growth as charges are
gathered. Here was a case where a DC generator provided the high voltage. This
voltage charged an insulated hoop of copper, growing to its maximum value. If
all values in the circuit were properly balanced, in the manner prescribed by
Tesla, a sudden charge collapse would then occur. This collapse was
necessarily very much shorter than the interval required to charge the hoop.
The collapse comes when the magnetic disrupter extinguishes the arc. If the
circuit is properly structured, no backrush alternations ever occur.
This unidirectional succession of charge-discharge impulses causes a very
strange field to expand outward, one which vaguely resembles a "Stuttering' or
'staccato" electrostatic field. But these terms did not satisfactorily
describe the conditions actually measured around the apparatus, a powerful
radiant effect exceeding all expectable electrostatic values. Actual
calculation of these discharge ratios proved impossible. Implementing the
standard magneto-inductive transformer rule, Tesla was unable to account for
the enormous voltage multiplication effect. Conventional relationships
failing, Tesla hypothesized that the effect was due entirely to radiant
transformation rules, obviously requiring empirical determination. Subsequent
measurements of discharge lengths and helix attributes provided the necessary
new mathematical relationship.
He had discovered a new induction law, one where radiant shockwaves
actually auto-intensified when encountering segmented objects. The
segmentation was the key to releasing the action. Radiant shockwaves
encountered an helix and "flashed over" the outer skin, from end to end. This
shockwave did not pass through the windings of the coil at all, treating the
coil surface as an aerodynamic plane. The shockwave pulse auto-intensified
exactly as gas pressures continually increase when passing through Venturi
tubes. A consistent increase in electrical pressure was measured along the
coil surface. Indeed, Tesla stated that voltages could often be increased at
an amazing 10,000 volts per inch of axial coil surface. This meant that a 24
inch coil could absorb radiant shockwaves which initially measured 10,000
volts, with a subsequent maximum rise to 240,000 volts! Such transformations
of voltage were unheard with apparatus of this volume and simplicity. Tesla
further discovered that the output voltages were mathematically related to the
resistance of turns in the helix. Higher resistance meant higher voltage
maxima.
He began referring to his disrupter line as his special "primary", and to
the helical coil placed within the shockzone, as his special "secondary". But
he never intended anyone to equate these terms with those referring to
magnetoelectric transformers. This discovery was indeed completely different
from magneto-induction. There was a real and measurable reason why he could
make this outlandish statement. There was an attribute which completely
baffled Tesla for a time. Tesla measured a zero current condition in these
long copper secondary coils. He determined that the current which should have
appeared was completely absent. Pure voltage was rising with each inch of coil
surface. Tesla constantly referred to his "electrostatic induction laws", a
principle which few comprehended. Tesla called the combined disrupter and
secondary helix a 'Transformer".
Tesla Transformers are not magnetoelectric devices, they use radiant
shockwaves, and produce pure voltage without current. No university High
Frequency Coil must ever be called a "Tesla Coil", since the devices usually
employed in demonstration halls are the direct result of apparatus perfected
by Sir Oliver Lodge and not by Nikola Tesla. The Tesla Transformer is an
impulse apparatus, and cannot be as easily constructed except by strict
conformity with parameters which Tesla enunciated. Tesla Transformers produce
extraordinary white impulse discharges of extreme length and pressure, which
exceed the alternating violet spark displays of Lodge Coils. This is
illustrated by noting the manner in which Tesla Transformers are actually
constructed. While looking and seeming the same, each system actually performs
very different functions. Lodge Coils are alternators. Tesla Transformers are
unidirectional impulses. The most efficient Tesla Transformations were
obtained only when the disruptive radiating wire line equaled the mass of the
helical coil.
More later (or shall I dispense with MrT ?)
