B EARDEN Foreword This paper contains the real secret of tapping the vacuum energy very simply, using almost any source of potential (battery, electrostatic generator a lathe Swiss electrostatic device (the Testatika), elevated wire w V/m in the earth/ionosphere potential, etc. The objective is for the moderately technical reader to understand how to build and understand not only a single device, but also hundreds of different kinds of them. While it is quite simple, the "magic principle" contained in this paper only took me some 30 years to discover. The precise definitions necessary to understand the free energy rationale are included. Also included are some very simple pseudo equations for the process. Do not underestimate these simple pseudo equations __ they tell the tale that's needed. Also, there has been little or no time to "dress up" the paper. It's simply written down very informally, to get the necessary points across. Nearly everything fundamental that we've been taught about EM energy is wrong or incomplete. Even the definition of energy in physics is wrong Let me summarize a few of the things that are wrong with the classical electromagnetics (CEM) model as follows CEM is still utilizing a model based on a material ether. Although the Michelson-Morley experiment destroyed the material ether assumption in 1887, the classical EM model has never been corrected. It also contains no definition of charge, and no definition of potential. In many cases, algorithms to calculate a magnitude are baldfacedly and erroneously advanced as "definitions" CEM still prescribes the force fields as the causes of all EM phenomena it has been known since 1959 that forces are effects and not causes, that EM force fields exist only in and on the charged particles of mass in the physical system, and that the potentials are the primary causes of EM phenomena. The lack of definitive definitions of mass and force in mechanics is carried over into EM theory there is no adequate definition of EM force or of EM mass. The magnitude of the electrical charge on an electron is not quantized. Instead, it is discretized, being a function of the magnitude of
