ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY space, which demonstrably exists and is so readily available in the ambient environment And then How does one keep the redesigned systems from destroying themselves by overtapping the infinite energy source of space Bearden has posited that an iterative collecting and scattering of space energy could be used to enable a quantum of energy to be reused multiple times, performing a quantum of work in each rescattering. This iterative "retroreflection" and multipass recollection would serve to increase the density of collected energy and therefore the local potential and strength of source dipoles (separations of charges) that occur in space due to the interaction between free charges and the vacuum. Bearden has labeled this process "asymmetric regauging" and believes that it increases the energy extraction by dipoles existing in the vacuum exchange. Hebe believes that this process has been experimentally proven by the Patterson Power Cell, an innovative, recently marketed power device with a demonstrated overunity energy output. Bearden's work progressed to clarifying the nature and characteristics of the two wave components of electromagnetic energy fields, the transverse and the longitudinal waves. Created simultaneously but traveling on different planes, Bearden likens the transverse wave to the easily perceived, slow waveform seen on the ocean's surface and the longitudinal wave to a swift- moving subsurface pressure wave that does not disturb the surface and is not capable of being measured by existing technology. Through the work of researchers Donnelly and Ziolkowski, Bearden found that, by science's current Selection and use of the transverse wave 40 power conventional electrical devices, the hidden longitudinal wave is somehow "killed off" preventing it from being exploited to do useful work. The longitudinal wave, however, is potentially more powerful than the transverse wave, in that the former allegedly moves many times faster than the speed of light, which is a limiting factor for conventional signal transmission using the transverse wave component, because of the theoretical ability of the internal longitudinal wave to facilitate virtually instantaneous signal communication across vast expanses of space, Bearden has focused on how to stimulate and select it for use, and allow the transverse wave to be canceled, or not initially produced, instead. Bearden notes that he is now preparing a patent application for the initial part of what he terms "a superluminal communications system" that uses a longitudinal wave process and is capable of transmitting signals at speeds faster than the speed of light. He contends that the basic concept has already been shown theoretically and experimentally at microscopic level by other researchers using waveguides. His team specifically intends to show how to form the longitudinal wave, by transmitting a video signal inside a DC voltage without any transverse wave signal accompanying it, and then retrieving the signal without the presence of any noise.
