What Bearden is voluble about, however, and what occupies his time and attention almost exclusively these days, is his work on perfecting the theoretical scientific underpinnings of, and ultimately a verifiable model for, electromagnetic systems that legitimately produce more energy than they consume (known as "overunity" devices. Such systems propose to make use of the random electromagnetic fluctuations that exist in the vacuum of space, known variously as "free energy" "space energy" or "zero point energy" Armed with an MS. degree in nuclear engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and longtime employment in the aerospace industry, Bearden has researched this topic intensively for over 20 years, and currently serves as president of CTEC, Inc, his own research and development company located in Huntsville, Alabama. Bearden's work began with a reexamination of the fundamental concepts of classical electrodynamic theory, in light of the teachings of modern quantum mechanics and particle physics, in order to better understand how and why current actually flows in electrical circuits, where that energy comes from, and how it might be increased. This effort suggested to him major flaws in the paradigm established by 19 th century scientists James Clerk Maxwell and Hendrik Lorentz, whose equations and calculations (as they are known today) dealt only with the electrical energy that measurably flows in circuits and powers the devices that are attached. Analogizing to the water flowing around a fixed paddle wheel immersed in a river and the moving air surrounding a windmill, Bearden discovered that the free energy of space was knowingly ignored as a useable source of electrical energy by these scientists, and that the classical theory needed updating to reflect 20 th century discoveries. In Bearden's view, the principal faults in reasoning lay in two places. First, the algebra used to express Maxwell's original equations was changed, to ease understanding by others, from the highly complex quaternion type, which allowed and even prescribed overunity electromagnetic systems powered by space energy, to the much simpler tenser vector analysis, which did not. Second, Lorentz mathematically narrowed the scope and application of Maxwell's equations to describe only that part of the energy flow that physical circuits were designed to catch and use. In overall effect, according to Bearden, the early theorists made mistakes in interpreting their own calculations and unwittingly modified their original equations to discard a significant portion of the energy that was extractable -- and, in fact, is extracted -- from the vacuum by actual physical systems. The central issue for him therefore became How does one redesign these systems in anew way to be able to collect and make effective use of this excess energy from the river of |
