Tom Valone Reviews a Myriad of Alternative Energy Technologies
The travesty is that the global warming we are experiencing is entirely
unnecessary -- if we would but just pursue these alternatives that have been
available for so long.
Report on his lecture at the New Energy Movement Conference, Sept. 25,
Portland, Oregon, USA.

 Tom
Valone, President of Integrity Research Institute (IRI), speaking at the New
Energy Movement conference was a powerhouse of knowledge and facts and gave a
thorough overview of where we are currently at with energy needs and where we
could go in the future to meet those needs.
His first blockbuster fact caught the audiences attention immediately; 85% of
energy today comes from the combustion of dead fossils, forcing the worlds
atmosphere to overheat. We are likely seeing the results of global warming in
our weather such as the four hurricanes in Florida.
Valone commented that Hubbards Peak the peak of oil production is
right on the projected mark for the US. Most alarming is that the carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere is at three hundred parts per million (ppm), the highest it
has been in 400,000 years and may reach six hundred ppm by 2050.
Further evidence of global warming are the liquid lakes at the North Pole. The
ice cap is rapidly disappearing, which effects the reflected solar radiation,
causing other global weather changes. Valone warned ominously that a sixth to
eighty percent reduction in carbon emissions is required to stop global warming.
The most frustrating fact of all, he stated, was that two thirds of all the
electricity produced in the US is wasted.
IRI is researching the following energy solutions:
atmospheric electricity
nuclear
quantum vacuum zero point
space propulsion energy
magnetic motors
Atmospheric Electricity
Ben Franklin almost had it clear back in the 1700s. Electrostatic motors have
been known about since the beginning of this country. One motor has been
operating for eighty-six years and counting. Reference was made to the American
Journal of Physics, 1971, pg. 778, regarding the 200 Gigawatt potential in
the atmosphere.
The most promising technology has been known about nearly one hundred years:
Teslas Wardencliff tower and scalar waves. Valone has researchers that have
analyzed every part and verified each component of Teslas system to broadcast
power worldwide. IRI is currently working to rebuild a Wardencliff tower.
Nuclear
Nuclear power is about more than just nuclear power plants. Valone told the NEM
audience about nuclear batteries and the work by Betavoltaics and Nuclear
Solutions. He mentioned Paul Browns patents for extracting energy safely from
radioactive materials without nuclear power plants.
A very promising development in the works is the photo-remediation of nuclear
waste, and a method of using iodine to produce power. The studies in this field
are showing one Megawatt in produces twenty Megawatts out.
Proton Boron fusion was mentioned, where the reaction between a proton and
Boron produces Helium with no radioactivity. Dense plasma is focused in a unique
device which produces the 1 billion degrees necessary to make Hydrogen and Boron
fuse together into Helium without high energy neutrons being released. A
garage-sized fusion reactor would produce energy ten times better than the
Tokamak Reactor currently does. (See www.focusfusion.org
for more information).
Quantum Vacuum Zero Point
Valone next spoke about the controversial quantum vacuum and zero point energy,
pointing out that zero-point energy is NOT conserved. The energy density of
zero-point energy is debatable.
Many areas in this field are being studied: the Casimer Force, electron-positron
production, electron charge cluster technology, toroidal fields, solid state
diodes, and other devices. Electron charge clusters are showing nine times over
unity. Electric Arc Discharge Accelerators also have more potential energy out
than electrical energy in. We may someday rectify thermo-electric noise with
diode circuits
On the positive side of this debate, over unity (and its synonyms) are being
mentioned in mainstream literature. Dr. Peter Graneau is getting 150% efficiency
outputs and has been published in peer reviewed journals. Pinto actually
mentioned free energy in his abstract published in Physical Review
Rev. B, 60 21, 1999 p. 4457. He uses micro lasers and nanotechnology to get huge
improvements in the Casimer force (one Kilowatt per meter squared). Valone
further mentioned that Feigle was the first physicist to use ZPE to satisfy
energy conservation.
Space Propulsion Energy
Quantumfields.com discusses a
hydrodynamic model of vehicle interactions with zero-point energy as it loses
its drag at 0 degrees Kelvin. Valone described the works of Paul H. Hill on
inertial control, and how the apparent 90 degree right hand turns by UFOs can be
explained with knowledge of zero-point energy and inertia. A discussion on space
propulsion energy would not be complete without discussing the gravity work of
T.T. Brown and John Searl.
Valone briefly mentioned his own past work on homopolar generators, and the
current work by Roshin and Godin. He reminded the group that homopolar
generators produce a seven degree drop in temperature in the area around the
generator.
Magnetic Motors
Valone is currently most interested in a magnetic motor design by South African,
Mike Brady. Because he could not find any patent information, he said he
supposed the design is public domain. (See freeenergynews.com
for more information about Mike Brady). Valone hopes to have his replication of
this motor done within a month.
Other magnetic motor designs were covered such as the Hartman Patent #4,215,330,
a Spiral Magnetic Motor and a flywheel vehicle power project. He referred to the
June 1979 issue of Popular Science and the March 2004 issue of Aviation
Week magazines.
Conclusion
Tom Valone, true to his reputation, packed his time with innovative developments
in the energy field. He made the point well that there is no reason to depend so
heavily on fossil fuels; from Franklin to Tesla we have had all the technology
we need. With new inventions there are even fewer excuses. The travesty is the
global warming we are now experiencing, because of fossil fuels, has been
unnecessary.
